lyrics

it wasn’t no cellphones
i had to go knock on the door
to see if the homies could come outside,
i’m from that era…

i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze
acid wash denim with the fade,
Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay
if you had money, you had the matching J’s
just getting back to my ways
just getting back on the page
feeling like i’m stuck in my ways
until it’s up, up & away
until it’s up, up & away
up & away, up, up & away


i'm from that era
a Starter jacket was worth your life
it was dangerous to walk around
with some matching Flights
popular amongst
the street hustlers working nights
long nights,
making sure nobody short the price,

it was on sight,
never for no likes
hand-to-hand transactions
not with your device
we wuz throwing dice,
surviving corner fights
outside before the internet
was every shorty's vice
running in my Starter jacket like a rite of passage,
to this day i wear them jawns
i got on a classic
tryna ball like Bubba Chuck back when
he said "i give this game my life,
we talking bout practice?"
why you mad?
why take away my joy
& make me have to mask my sadness?
grew up with them wolves
that they labeled as savages
people love playing with you ’til you do them bad,
’til i really get them mad
&have them going out the saddest,
then crack a smile,
& roll some up, while i'm laughing
i travel light, might hop a flight without no baggage
can't let nobody hold me back, that's too bad,
i won't have it,

i'm from that era
a Starter jacket was worth your life
it was dangerous to walk around
with some matching Flights
popular amongst
the street hustlers working nights
long nights,
making sure nobody short the price

i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze
acid wash denim with the fade,
Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay
if you had money, you had the matching J’s
just getting back to my ways
just getting back on the page
feeling like i’m stuck in my ways
until it’s up, up & away
until it’s up, up & away
up & away, up, up & away
