Okay, I [E] remember the day.

[E] Troop slados
and BKs, those were the days.
[F#m] High tech boots, spray painted with your [Bm] names.
T [E]-shirts, airbrushed,
they're red the same, they carry a bone [F#m] chain.
One goal with your initial.
[Bm] Harris [E] photos,
group shots, can you remember?
Bury [F#] him, tell this bitch go to the prime and die.
[D] Didn't
lie, [A] shot himself in the head with a .45,
[E] wish it didn't [F#m] say Fades.
Had North Clayton
Cray just [Bm] to reiterate, [C#m] dog, those was the days.

Fuckin' new model [D] car, we [A] ridin' old school.
[E] We were [F#m] tryin' so hard, [Bm] hard [C#m] to survive.
Cause
even though [F#m] we were young, [C#] we had [C#m] to stay strong.
No [B] matter what [F#m] we went through, [C#] it

We was lovin' [F#m] that, before the start of Jackie Jacks.
[D] For notes on [E] Red Oaks, had folks scared
to come through College Park [F#m] after dark.

Be aware,
Wayne Wiggins was [F#] out there, but we didn't care.
Kids was gettin' [D] stabbed and [A] ditched
out there, too busy playin'.
[E] Double dare, you [F#m] touch shawty on the ass, that's a bet.
[D] Want your Kool [C#m]-Aid and sugar, smack your hands and say, sweat.
It's mine [F#m] now, place it in
my Louis Vuitton [Bm] pouch.
Thump [E] a nigga on his knuckles, make him say, ouch.

Broke
niggas, call them nonsense.
[D] No [A] comments, this lil' bae payin' high, Mr.
[E] College Park.

[F#m] And that's how it went
[D] when [A] we were kids.
I had [E] a long time, but [F#m] no silver, no gold or plat.
I [D] was simply red
[E] from the years I'd been holdin' back.
With two sides [F#m] to a book, I licked stamps and liked
matches.
[Bm] And set [E] fires and garbage pails and cabbage patches.
Child [F#m] of the corn, been wild
since I was [Bm] born.
Climbin' [E] over barbed wire, clothes got torn.

Wanna
hang with the [F#] big boys and play with the big toys [D] and be with the [A] people makin' all that
goddamn noise.
