Yeah, know what I mean Rick?

Know what I mean Rick?

Know what I mean Slick, Whoa!

Yeah, whee!

[Slick Rick]

Fine grown Pine-Sol

Heavenly rhyme throne

Remember when you were young in the 70 time zone

Stages, ages about seven I say kid

The dress code of our parents looked awfully outrageous

Not down on em, games and clownin

When soul was at it's highest rate like James Brown 'n them

??, A groovy era acting

Member seeing Shaft in the movie theater back then?

I feel Richard Roundtree got 'em a fly deal

Black man wearin' bell bottom and high heels

Laughed a lot, some action mass production

Remember when cars were darn near half a block long?

Parents were so into that crap

Bunch a sweet memories to us older rap cats

Muhammad Ali knucklin in tournament

Pimp daddy hats with buckles and ornaments

How we forget snappy

Five people sleepin' in one matress and yet happy

Could even make sex seem sour

As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause

Chorus: repeat 2X

Rick make memories sealed in almanacs

Not to mention the immence appeal the mack hat

When you wake up in the morning (redeem from any crap)

Because I bring that love and feeling back to rap

[Slick Rick]

For situated as poor beneficialator

Kool-Aid couldn't last a hot minute in the 'frigerator

School notes, slidin and stealin, hidin 'em

Bazooka, bubble gum cartoons still inside of 'em

No way same essence of ?

Pimps flyest dressin' muthafuckas, weren't they?

But hood lies, you afraid of a good wine?

I used to love the actor who portrayed one on Good Times

You need a friend to ? a soul, man it kinda slow

One thing 'bout a bro, overflow when it ?

Life, a pitiful game

'Member the robot?

That was my shit on Soul Train

Got hyped to, psyched to,

And the feelin's right to chillin' on the fire

escape on a nice night too

No, I'm not gon' try to hurt the ?

Remember ride on blood and dry turkey slang?

Brothers chippin' in for alcoholic money

When you look at old flicks don't we all look funny?

Could even make sex seem sour

As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause

Chorus

[Slick Rick]

Yo' mama, damn we used to talk improper then

Member when we used to walk bop, walk bop again?

Givin' them the rythym that we bought

Push our hand back like we was swimmin' when we walked

Bad all about, Huggie Bear, Rat all about

Member afros, what the fuck was that all about?

Buenos noches accents too...friends too

Everybody had a lot of roaches back then too

Profusely around us, Loosley ?

Fleets wearin' Bruce Lee Bandanas

And kick shit, ballin the hand I stick wit'

?????

Most cases, fatha' away for good

Local Flat Foot was part-of the neighborhood

Standard, and the panthers (Wow)

Used to dress like Erykah Badu and Amanda's now

Could even make sex seem sour

As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause

Chorus 1.5X
