[Hook] I remember not too long ago When The Facts Of Life was my favorite show Could have sworn it was only yesterday But I know That it's gone So I pretend That today it's the same [Verse 1] My opinion is the world has kind of sucked Since I was a little kid who sported a bowl cut And bitches had their hair crimped down to their necks And acid-washed jeans or shorts from Spandex And rap music seemed to be only for the brothers But white kids fronted and sported Cross Colours (like me!) Transformers were more than meets the eye We called 867-5309 (rring!) And hoped we'd get Jenny but we never did (nope) We got cassette singles and Garbage Pail Kids Rainbow Brite was the girls' favorite toy And Tetris was the shit on the first Game Boy The NBA changed with Larry Bird and Magic Madonna didn't have that fake British accent (whore) I was in the Valley, blasting Eye Of The Tiger Top down, cruising in KITT from Knight Rider [Hook] [Verse 2] Neon shirts from T&C Surf I was a Raiders fan 'til Bo Jackson got hurt And Molly Ringwald made a kid wanna think "I'd hit it raw dawg" while in Pretty In Pink I'd play Nintendo from the day to the night Tecmo Bowl, Super Mario, Excitebike I love Xbox, but you know what, fuck 'em I miss the Power Pad and only using two buttons And airbrushed overalls was the shit Hypercolor T-shirts, slap bracelets on the wrists Shit was cool then, but for now I envision That B2K has never heard of New Edition Before Beyonce, there was Jody Watley On MTV, giving little kids a chubby And we hated the president cause he didn't have a clue Oh, wait a minute... we still do! [Hook] [Verse 3] I'd catch G.I. Joe every single week And them 23 Jordans, and Cavariccis In college basketball, it was UNLV But now their players don't get points, they only score felonies And girls loved New Kids On The Block, so I was hatin' Trying to do the Footloose two-step like Kevin Bacon I ruled shit, call me Charles In Charge Rocked out to Motley Crue, slow danced to El DeBarge And Michael Bivins put out a thousand little kids (yep) But only ABC and Boyz II Men had a hit (whoops) Jose Canseco, Laimbeer, big Riddick Bowe The Goonies, Karate Kid, Lucas, and Rambo This is for the kids that are 30 and below In denim jackets, breakdancing like a pro So blast your boombox 'til your ears ring Hold that shit up like John Cusack in Say Anything [Hook] Hot Karl Aka Lloyd Dobler up in this bitch This song is in the loving memory Of those we lost from the '80s, yo: River Phoenix The Human Beat Box of The Fat Boys Michael Hutchence of INXS Jam Master Jay Junkyard Dog "Ravishing" Rick Rude Falco John Candy Let's go!
