I remember when….

We rocked the Kangaroos with the pocket on the side
Girls Uno Dos sieta and then they played slide

Rotary Phones, Underroos, because hanes were lame
If you got served it was by LeRoy on Fame

Gold Chains, fuk bling we had three-finger rings
Lee Jeans, plus Angela Stribling on screen Scene

Ice Cream trucks made us into track stars
Bomb Pops and chocolate eclairs were like crack bars

‘member Back MARS Blackmon “It’s gotta be the shoes”
The Jordans? Red and Blacks and the Black and Blues

The Secret of the Ooze, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
They had a whole video and dance called The Urkel

All the felas had Mags on Bicycles
And the girls had all the books by Sweet Pickles

Man books?
I remember back in school
You looked forward to getting to the next one they were cool
We had:

Rockets,
Surprises,
3rd grade was Footprints

Honeycomb,
Cloverleaf,
Sunburst was my shit

Tapestry,
Windchimes
if you dont fall short?

You got the last joint the brown one called Passports

For sport I watched G.I Joe and He-Man for hours
Even caught She Ra: Princess of Power

Sour Patch Kids, NErds and Gobstoppers
Then She Bop came out made by Cyndi Lauper

Cops and Robbers, Freeze Tag,  Mother may I?
Red Light – Green Light and Kick Ball was fly

My Safe-T Scissors were ill , they were orange and white
Got Mayonase jars caught lightning bugs at night

Poked holes in the top they were dead by the morning
It was Captain Kangaroo – Mr. Rogers was boring

Worthy did the scoring, Magic had the assists
Use to stand arms folded leanin like-THIS

Plus the gold ropes? Moms watched the Soaps
Louis Vutton and MCM Coats

Got a scoop of Vanilla made some Root Beer Floats
Letters from the girls, how they folded notes

When Wendy’s gave you Honey to eat with Chicken Tenders
Back when Taco Bell served fries?

I remember.
