Biz Markie - Throw Back Lyrics
[Verse One]I'd like to tell a story and it goes like thisBefore I was makin money hand over fistThe mid-80's is what I'm talkin aboutYou will agree without a reasonable doubtAs I tell this tale, sittin on a pailThis is one you'll like when it's doneOnly certain people know about Union SquareThe Rooftop, Latin Quarter, cause I was thereRed Alert downtown, Brucie Bee uptownGrandmaster Vic had a different soundYou had block parties, with free giftsMr. Magic and Marley gave radio a liftYou don't understand, but we doThat's why I'm tryin to explain it to youSo sit back and listen, to what I sayAs 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 DKNYThere was a lot of clothes that was flyLike Polo, Benetton, Coca-Cola and Osh KoshGuess jeans and others that's acid washedD.C. wore K-Swiss and Sergio {?}VertiniGirls wore tennis skirts, that was miniSpot{?}, Ewings, {?}New Balance, Fila, Nike and ElitesAfrican clothes and medallions was wornAnd when Rakim came out, knowledge was bornIn the midst of it all, I almost forgotThere was a brother uptown makin his own spotMakin Gucci, leather and suede tailor madeThat had more flavor than mom's Kool-AidI'm gonna tell you, the name of this manHe goes by the name of the Dapper Dan[Chorus][Verse Three]See at this time, you might think I'm strangeCause I wore a four-finger ring, and big gold chainsLike I was Mr. T from the A-TeamIt was just a sign of me makin creamBut the cars and jeeps
