[Intro]
Memories be
Yeah
Let’s ride
Yo
[Verse 1]
It’s Freddie Foxxx over hip-hop, peers be on the tap out
Inside joke for my niggas who know the workout
Tour with the motherfucker, we had jokes
Had a cracker bus driver who hate black folks
Lil Fame in his ear, bang M.O.P
Billy on the phone with wifey in a white tee
Foxxx on the couch stretched out, white tube socks
Nodding to the fire coming out Fame boombox
Laze and Shug took it back to the hood
Playing Cee-Lo in the [?], 20s in the pile
Guru instigating, snapping with Big Shug
HeadQCourterz on the hustle, money was looking good
We hood, and Biggest Gord in a bad mood
It’s nothing personal, he’s just a mad dude
Sometimes, he’s mad rude but still a good nigga
When he like the way you flow ‘cause he picky
Smoked a lot of icky while him and Stax played 21
I focus on this bus driver, he and him discussing guns
At truck stops, I watched for some reason
I didn’t think he was a cop with them teasing
It was making him hot, and Lil Fame blowing mad smoke
All in his face, he hated breathing for that reason
[Hook]
Where was you when we lived on the Gang Starr bus?
“You wasn’t down when we was riding the bus”
Where was you when we fought on the Gang Starr bus?
“You don’t even know the half about me”
Where was you when we grinded on the Gang Starr bus?
“That cruiser right there, you wasn’t in that”
[Verse 2]
Where I spit the venom, B, you wasn’t there
Where [?] Black and Eon was all right there
We was eating all the food, we was rude
Made Sarah cry many a day, but she loved us anyway
Me and Guru [?] debating about the greatest MC
At the end, he said it was him, he said it was me
Then Premier said, “both of y’all niggas is trash”
And he broke into a freestyle, we started to laugh
[?] doing push-ups, admires himself
Foxxx said that he was crazy and he lied to himself
We started laughing, meanwhile, Laze was gunning for the pot
Shug singing old slow jams, smoking on pot
I joined in to the background and made it sound hot
‘Cause I was raised on crooners, gun busters, baby boomers
Who flew like the Chi-Lite [?] out the bloomers
Fat G keeping Guru out of rumors, new ones
[Hook]

“You don’t even know the half about me”
Where was you when we was grinding on the Gang Starr bus?
“That cruiser right there, you wasn’t in that”
Where was you when we was rhyming on the Gang Starr bus?
“You wasn’t down when we was riding the bus”
