Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Way, way, way, way back in the days, the year, 1980
Had to get a job, had to make some money-ney
Picked up a pen and a pad, dropped reality
Never thinking that I would live to see the day I'd rock my own CD
We used to do the dance we called, "wubby-wubby"
Now S.T.P. 1993
So Hollywood, get out my way
My mom's word seems like yesterday:
"Love Jesus, don't forget to pray"
She most have gone with the boss D.J., right? ("Don't be too sure of that, fat one")
And feelin' love, so skinny-ny-ny ("Fat one?")
Comin' with the 9 millimeter, point your gun and bullet free
'Cause he who has the money, has the authority
And respect to the man with the Uzi ("Pretty handy with a six gun, myself")
The 808 kick is on my hit list
And this beat's cooking like an Ital dish
It wasn't hard for me to do, it was so easy
Because to me, loops looped tight come naturally
Mom's words seemed like yesterday
[Verse 2]
Now in '94, we got an S.T.P
A half pack of smokes, and oh yes, Aunt B
A fifteen pack of Old Milwaukee
A dalmatian and a girlfriend
But I ain't got no money-ney-ney-ney
The 808 is within my reach
Sublime posse come straight from Long Beach
If you think that Hollywood didn't get what he deserved
Call 808, kid, and get served
