Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back to the days and the times of old
Welcome back to the classic stories that's been told
Welcome back to diamond back whites painted chrome
Back when life was a way more simpler zone

Welcome back to 501 and acid wash jeans
If you had tough skins you didn't want to be seen
Welcome back to cap session 'til the sun went down
Slap box your way before you ever left the town

Welcome back to one on one fights with no rounds
Bein' fired, Fat Boy signing session in Tower
Run DMC, Houdini my first rap album
Brush groove, back when Run asked the crowd who's house

Breakin' one, breakin' two beats, street wild style
Jackson Five Christmas playin' on your radio dial
Reminiscin', driftin' on a memory in this rap
Welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back to the crush on the girl next door
Fifth period in homeroom passin' back notes
Welcome back to family barbecues every month
Sometimes there would be arguments, but it was all love

Welcome back to coasters and karate shoes
The Great Space Coaster, no gnus is good gnus
Way before you ever had a sip of your first booze
Drunk off life, the simple things kept you amused

Welcome back to box cuts and jags
Jheri curl, activate a rock in the plastic bag with a hat on the top

Even if you didn't, you had to claim

Rockin' corduroy hats with a crease on top
Stealin' fake Gazelles out of the local thrift shop
Reminiscin', driftin' on a memory in this rap
Welcome back, welcome back

We keep it movin' y'all
We keep it movin' y'all
We take it back y'all
We take it back y'all

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back to summer time expos in the park
Beach cruisers padded with the black foam on the bars
Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times, What's Happenin' Now
Sanford and Son, the Cosby Show, That's My Mama

Gucci sweat shirt, light blue furry Kangols
The feel of Mickey Mouse shirt that said, "yo baby yo"
Spuds McKenzie, Pee Wee's dance, doin' the bud
RoboCop, the Cabbage Patch, fake ID in the club

African medallion school days, do the right thing
I get raw still number one microphone fiend
Just reminiscin', driftin' on a memory in this rap
