Tekst piosenki
I was just a little girl, skinny legs, a press and curl
My mother always thought I’d be a star
But way before my record deal
Streets that nurtured Lauryn Hill
Made sure that I’d never go too far
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I’ve been
Make me recall my days in the New Jerusalem
Story starts at Hootaville, grew up next to Ivy Hill
When kids were stealin' quartervilles for fun
Kill the guy in Carter Park
Rode a mongoose 'til it’s dark
Watchin' kids show off the stolen ones
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I’ve been
Make me recall my days in New Jerusalem
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Bag of Bontons, twenty cents and a nickel
Springfield Ave. had the best popsicles
Saturday morning cartoons and Kung-Fu
Main street roots tonic with the dreds
A beef patty and some coco bread
Move the patch from my Lees to the tongue of my shoe
'Member Frelng-Huysen used to have the bomb leather
Back when Doug Fresh and Slick Rick was together
Lookin' at the crew, we thought we’d all live forever
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Drill teams on Munn Street
Remember when Hawthorne and Chancellor had beef
Movin' Records was on Central Ave.
I was there at dancing school
South Orange Ave. at Borlin' Pool
Unaware of what we didn’t have
Writin' my friends' names on my jeans with a marker
July 4th races outside of Parker
Fireworks at Martin Stadium
The Untouchable P. S.P. where all them crazy nigga be And car thieves got away through Irvington
Hillside brings beef with the cops
Self-Destruction record drops
And everybody’s name was Muslim
Children grow and women produce and
Sensations and '88 attracted kids from out-of-state
And everybody used to do the wop
Jack, jack, jack ya body
Nah, the Biz Mark used to amp up the party
I wish those days, they didn’t stop
Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I’ve been
Make me recall my days in New Jerusalem
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it’s hot, don’t forget what you’ve got
Looking back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Byłam małą dziewczynką, chude nogi, wyciskane i zwijane.
Moja matka zawsze myślała, że zostanę gwiazdą.
Ale na długo przed moim kontraktem płytowym
Ulice, które pielęgnowały Lauryn Hill
Upewniłem się, że nigdy nie posunę się za daleko.
Każde Getto, każde miasto i Przedmieście, w którym byłem
Przypomnij mi moje dni w Nowym Jeruzalem
Historia zaczyna się w Hootaville, dorastał obok Ivy Hill
When kids were stealin ' quartervilles for fun
Kill the guy in Carter Park
Rode a mongoose 'til it' s dark
Watchin ' kids show off the stolen ones
Każde Getto, każde miasto i Przedmieście, w którym byłem
Przypomnij mi moje dni w Nowej Jerozolimie.
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
Worek Bontonów, dwadzieścia centów i pięciocentówka
Springfield Ave. Najlepsi strzelcy
Sobotnie poranne kreskówki i Kung-Fu
Main street roots tonic with the dreds
Wołowe patty i trochę coco bread
Przenieś plaster z mojego osadu na język mojego buta.
"Member Frelng-Huysen used to have the bomb leather
Kiedy Doug Fresh i Slick Rick byli razem
Patrząc na załogę, myśleliśmy, że wszyscy będziemy żyć wiecznie.
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
Musztry na Munn Street
Pamiętasz, jak Hawthorne i Chancellor mieli na pieńku
Movin ' Records było na Central Ave.
Byłam tam w szkole tańca.
South Orange Ave. w Borlin ' Pool
Nieświadomi tego, czego nie mieliśmy
Wypisywanie imion moich przyjaciół na dżinsach z markerem
4 lipca wyścigi poza Parkerem
Fajerwerki na Martin Stadium
The Untouchable P. S. p. where all they crazy nigga be And car thieves got away through Irvington
Hillside przynosi beef z glinami
Spadki rekordów samozniszczenia
Wszyscy nazywali się muzułmanami.
Dzieci rosną, a kobiety produkują i
Sensacje i '88 przyciągały dzieci spoza stanu
I wszyscy robili makaroniarzy.
Jack, jack, jack ya body
Nie, Marka Biz ' a używała do rozkręcania imprezy.
Chciałbym, żeby te dni się nie skończyły.
Każde Getto, każde miasto i Przedmieście, w którym byłem
Przypomnij mi moje dni w Nowej Jerozolimie.
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin 'back, lookin' back
You know it 's hot, don' t forget what you ' ve got
Looking back, lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
Lookin 'back, lookin' back, lookin ' back
