Lyrics:
[Verse One] I'd like to tell a story and it goes like this Before I was makin money hand over fist The mid-80's is what I'm talkin about You will agree without a reasonable doubt As I tell this tale, sittin on a pail This is one you'll like when it's done Only certain people know about Union Square The Rooftop, Latin Quarter, cause I was there Red Alert downtown, Brucie Bee uptown Grandmaster Vic had a different sound You had block parties, with free gifts Mr. Magic and Marley gave radio a lift You don't understand, but we do That's why I'm tryin to explain it to you So sit back and listen, to what I say As I tell the story of this beautiful day [Chorus: sampled] "We'll go dancing in the dark" - HEY! "Walking through the park, and reminiscing" BREAK IT ON DOWN! [Verse Two] Before Versace and DKNY There was a lot of clothes that was fly Like Polo, Benetton, Coca-Cola and Osh Kosh Guess jeans and others that's acid washed D.C. wore K-Swiss and Sergio Tacchini Girls wore tennis skirts, that was mini Spot Belch, Ewings, Le Coq Sportif, New Balance, Fila, Nike and Elites African clothes and medallions was worn And when Rakim came out, knowledge was born In the midst of it all, I almost forgot There was a brother uptown makin his own spot Makin Gucci, leather and suede tailor made That had more flavor than mom's Kool-Aid I'm gonna tell you, the name of this man He goes by the name of the Dapper Dan [Chorus] [Verse Three] See at this time, you might think I'm strange Cause I wore a four-finger ring, and big gold chains Like I was Mr. T from the A-Team It was just a sign of me makin cream But the cars and jeeps was incred-a Like the Audi, 280 Z's, 98's and Jettas Cherokees, Wranglers, Suzuki Sidekicks L.A. and West coast cars was doin tricks Now the dances was crazy to match Like the Pee Wee, The Wop and the Cabbage Patch The Prep, The Snake, and "The Biz Mark, Biz Mark" The way the Gucci Girls gave shows a spark Now listen, to what I got to say-ah Reagan was Pres', and Koch was the Mayor You can't beat that with a baseball bat And you'd never see me without my Biz Mark hat [Chorus] - 4X w/ ad libs
