I used to scratch [?]
I used to think the Bulls would never lose
I used to wish my fam had the revenue
To buy a pair of Michael Jordan patent leather shoes
Had weird gear, but I rolled with it
And rocked a [?] shirt with a hole in it
All my [?] looked damaged or used
That it's best that it was a tad bit abused
I used to try to keep in touch folks
If you know me, you know that that's a fuckin' joke
And a bad one at that
If I would turn half of my stack
I deserved a pat on the back
We used to try to have smart discussions
Back when we felt like we were part of somethin'
But then we all went our separate ways
Once real life exposed our naivete
If you could travel back and set the record straight
Time became unbound and you could separate
Would you rather have it now over yesterday
Would you rather have it now over yesterday
I put on a couple pounds like a heavyweight
I looked down and frowned at my resume
Would you rather have it now over yesterday
Would you rather have it now over yesterday
I used to go to Blowed on Thursdays
To learn from rappers that emphasized wordplay
I spent a workday designin' tech surveys
5 'o clock came and I'd run down Leimert way
To watch the homies play chess and the women dance
Like a pervert, but the girls didn't give a damn
An undergrad with cafeteria dinner plans
Biddin' on spades, all my partners got a winnin' hand
And now we're runnin' like children
'Cause I'm hoppin' through time like I'm Billy Pilgrim
