[00:46.879]I cut another tree down to pass the time
[00:49.894]While I watch a lifetime pass me by
[00:52.691]Looking back on old days, glassy-eyed
[00:55.704]Watching years go, like my auntie's mind
[00:58.749]We used to sit up in the car park and rhyme
[01:01.760]Now a night like that is hard to find
[01:04.775]Looking back on old times, I can't rewind
[01:07.523]Talking in my old friends that aren't alive no more
[01:11.306]The years gone by
[01:16.261]Talking about years gone by
[01:23.560]Now lets take it all the way back to '84 (yeah yeah)
[01:27.093]Let's hear it for the boy playing through the wall (yeah yeah)
[01:30.178]Let's hear it for the boy crawling on the floor
[01:32.542]In an Orwellian Estate Hall he walked
[01:35.609]In '85, he ran and in '86 we flew
[01:38.605]From a kingdom united into a land in two
[01:41.738]In '87 we settled, In '88 we moved Into a place called Avondale,
[01:46.690]first day in school In '89, it was me, myself, and I
[01:49.860]'Cause my mother couldn't find my baby brother
[01:51.786]Must have lost him like that time at the supermarket
[01:54.802]Five candles on my Donatello cake
[01:56.994]Celebrate life, sellotape up on my Hammer tape 1990, I was a plumber with a pipe dream, side of screen
[02:04.478]Hunting for mushies that were lime green, lightspeed
[02:07.788]To '91, that was the year I met this girl and fell in love
[02:10.545]Her name was Chun, and then we jump Jump jumped in bootleg pumps
[02:14.309]In '92 my drunk dad jumped ship on mum
[02:17.349]In '93 I won my first fight, like a D O double G
[02:21.131]Still mad at the man I wanted to be In '94 I got a hiding and I tried to hide
[02:26.406]But you can't keep running away, in '95
[02:29.711]So I dried my eyes, the 'All Eyez On Me' Number 9 on rewind
[02:33.963]Stacking my pocket money up to 96, blew it all on 64
[02:38.750]Blew my Ocarina loud, swinging swords with the force
[02:41.511]'97 hit the court, got slicker with the sauce
[02:44.812]The vocal cords dropped and, I got slicker with the broads
[02:47.481]Figure four in '98, hit the floor in '99
[02:50.492]Doing 90's in my clydes, tryna rhyme on the side
[02:53.502]Way back, when I had the red and black Swanndri
[02:56.687]In my Mazda hatchback travelling back in time
[02:59.449]Talking years, gone by
[03:11.171]Years gone byyyy
[03:23.196]Yeah the year was 2001, I bumped that 2001
[03:26.884]Moved out of my mum's house, flunked out like a bum
[03:29.772]First year I got something was that first year I got sprung
[03:32.866]Next year I got dumped, and that whole year I got drunk
[03:35.627]That was '02, then '03 my old man got done
[03:38.416]For some dumb shit, got one year and that year I got numb
[03:41.451]Then '05 he got out and got out of it at once
[03:44.533]Then '06 my homie hung in the park where we all hung
[03:47.544]Yeah my shit got ****ed up that year, my shit got real rough that year
[03:50.927]Horsed it on my bruv that year, **** that year, **** that year
[03:53.736]That taught me, who the people that care for me
[03:56.022]From the people that just corny
[03:57.530]When the phony homie disowned me then call me when they saw me
[04:00.541]On the cover of some magazine, "Up to brother, how you been
[04:03.552]It's been a minute, I ain't seen you since we were-"
[04:05.884]Set the screen and roll on into 2007, and it's all a blur from then to 2011
[04:11.476]I was on a bender that went on four years long
[04:14.768]Celebrating for the first win I ever got
[04:17.529]That was the same year LeBron won
[04:19.219]A short run in the long run
[04:20.826]Woke up when the swan sung her song, hit the gong, was gone
[04:24.449]They shot me down from the top of the poppy
[04:26.705]Got too cocky, that melancholy got me
[04:28.834]And they forgot me, but everybody need somebody
[04:30.847]Every Bobby need some Whitney
[04:32.445]So when I met her I asked her to ring me
[04:33.979]Gave her the ring and asked her to king me
[04:35.688]That was 2013, we moved out of the city
[04:38.449]Had about 2014 problems in 2015
[04:41.479]Hit me hard, losing Ziggy
[04:42.986]But the middy stuck with me through the dark
[04:45.288]Then my son came out, I called him Quincy
[04:47.605]And now I watch his eyes watching mine
[04:49.612]Watching life on rewind, too divine to define in one line
[04:53.628]In the same neighbourhood I walked in '89
[04:56.643]Raising beers for the cheers
[04:58.070]Saying here's to the years gone by
