Back in grade school

Looking back it was all so great

Vaurnet, chip n pepper, and vanilla ice tapes

It's hard to get over

That she comes out in October

I wish someday I could show her

Maybe someday she'll come over and

We could hang

You were a smart girl

Forget what those jerks say

I dug you in the worst way
No doubt

A boys in the hood soundtrack for my birthday

We could hang, hang around

We could hang around

We could hang around

We could hang around

And we could all tell

That you would be something

It was now or nothing

And we could all tell

You'd never be back again
