[Bars]
Nothing was better than the time I was 11
Everything was cool, me and my homie Kevin
Ran all of the city, yeah, it was pretty careless
But let me 'tell you bout the first time I got embarrassed
Summer came around, everybody was outside
Kevin rang the phone, "c'mon, let's go for a ride"
So I ran out the door, yeah, I jumped on my huffy
King of the streets, man, everybody loved me
From the basketball courts to the Quik Trip
The honeys at the pool getting a quick dip
Went to Kareem's house, he had the candy
That's when we ran into Stephanie and Mandy
They was all jammin' to Kareem's boombox
CD player was loud, you could hear it for two blocks
The girls danced, but had nothing to say
My boys started rapping like "can't keep running away"
The way I dressed, couldn't keep they eyes off me
Black kangol, I called it the Bill Cosby
I had my black and white checkerboard shoes on
Phat Farm Jeans, my wardrobe was too strong
Keven called Stephanie a "tenderoni"
Mandy moved the hair from her face, "hey, Tony"
I just nodded and threw out my hands
She walked and gave me a huge, I'm like "damn"
That's when Kareem started playin' "No Diggity"
We was all like "oh", that's the hit of the century
Kevin said, "hey Tony, you can't do this"
Then he jumped on his bike and started doing some tricks
I was like, "oh what? Now you who trying to show up?"
Took off my shirt because I was trying to flirt
Wife beater underneath, but then Kareem was like, "hold up!
You gotta do the same tricks or you got no nuts"
He put both of his feet over the handlebars
And let go and sat up and crossed both his arms
I knew for a fact that I couldn't do that
But a challenge is a challenge, so I said, "move back"
I started riding, feet up over the brakes, when
Something got caught in the chain, I hit the pavement
My whole body hit the ground like an earthquake
Undershirt ripped like a present on your birthday
Bleeding in the worst way, Kareem gave a smirk
They was cheesin', then I told 'em, "hey, I'm leaving, I need first aid"
I didn't cry, so they gave me props for that
Started going home, then Mandy said, "hey, let me walk you back"
