The Gift Of Gab – Flashback lyrics

As we proceed

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back to the days and the times of old
Welcome back to the classic stories that's been told
Welcome back to diamond back whites painted chrome
Back when life was way more simple is all

Welcome back to 5-0-1 and acid wash jeans
If you had tough skins you didn't want to be seen
Welcome back to cap session till the sun went down
Slap box your way before you ever left the town

Welcome back to one on one fight with no grounds
Bein' fired fat boy signing session in tower
Run DMC, Houdini my first rap album
Brush groove, back when Run asked the crowd who's house

Breaking one, breakin' two beats street wild style
Jackin' five Christmas playin' on your radio dial
Reminiscing, drifting on a memory in this rap
Welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back to the crush on a girl next door
Fifth period in homeroom passin back notes
Welcome back to family barbecues every month
Sometimes there would be arguments but it was all love

Welcome back to coasters and karate shoes
The great space coaster no ganoos(?) is good ganoos(?)
Way before you ever had a sip of your first booze
Drunk off life the simple things kept you amused

Welcome back to box cuts and jags
Jheri curl activate a rock in the plastic bag with a hat on the top
When niggas started to sag and gang bang
Even if you didn't you had to claim

Rockin' corduroy hats with a crease on top
Stealing fake gazelles out of the local thrift shop
Reminiscing, drifting on a memory in this rap
Welcome back, welcome back

We keep it movin y'all, we keep it movin' y'all
We take it back y'all, we take it back y'all

Welcome back to summer time expos in the park
Beach cruisers padded with the black foam on the bars
Welcome back cotter good times what happening now
Sanford and son, the Cosby show that my momma

Gucci sweat shirt light blue furry ??
The feel of Mickey Mouse shirt that said yo baby yo
Spuds McKenzie pee wees dance doin' the rutt
Robocop, cabbage patch fake id in the club

African medallion school days do the right thing
I get raw still number one microphone fiend
Reminiscing, drifting on a memory in this rap
Welcome back, welcome back
