Remember the Time

1920s gangsta rap with crackly old-time radio swing, clipped drum-machine knocks, walking tuba bass, brushed snares, and jittery piano stabs; verse rides smoky patter and streetwise detail, pre-chorus tightens with announcer-style callouts and rising horns, chorus hits with gang chants and a singback hook, Close-mic rap vocal with megaphone-filter moments, stacked ad-libs, wax-crackle transitions, needle-drop stings, and a bright dusty mono mix, rap

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Tune in, baby, don't drift away
I got a little story for the whole cabaret
Hold up
When the moon hit low and the deals ran hot
You could hear my name on the corner lot

[Chorus]
Remember the time
Remember the time
When we ran that town so fine
(remember the time)
Remember the time
Remember the time
Now tell me you still know mine
(remember the time)

[Verse 2]
I had a coat with a velvet seam
And a mind like a switchblade, sharp and clean
Played the room like a mark, then I split the crowd
With a smile on my face and a vow too loud
You had pearls on your throat, I had trouble in hand
We danced past the sirens, made a map in the sand
If the house went cold, I lit it back up
Now every old ghost wants a sip from my cup

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up
Hear that crackle, that late-night ring
That's the sound of a memory getting mean
Hold up
If you got the nerve, come take your place
I’m still the ace with the same old face

[Chorus]
Remember the time
Remember the time
When we ran that town so fine
(remember the time)
Remember the time
Remember the time
Now tell me you still know mine
(remember the time)

[Bridge]
Shh
Needle drops, and the room goes still
I hear your laugh on the windowsill
Not a saint, not a saint, just a man with style
But I kept that flame in a crooked smile
If the night come back, let it come right through
I’ve got one last dance and a debt to you

[Final Chorus]
Remember the time
Remember the time
When we ran that town so fine
(remember the time)
Remember the time
Remember the time
Now tell me you still know mine
(remember the time)

Remember the time
Remember the time
Roll that memory back one more time
(remember the time)

[Verse 1] Check the dial, baby, hear me clear I came up slick in a fedora ear to ear Pocket full of nickels, suit pressed neat Two-bit grin, but my step got heat Back alley chess with a hand so sly If the law come sniffin', I’m the reason why Got a brass-tone voice and a clockwork mind Leave a mark on the town, let the good times rewind [Pre-Chorus] Hold up Tune in, baby, don't drift away I got a little story for the whole cabaret Hold up When the moon hit low and the deals ran hot You could hear my name on the corner lot [Chorus] Remember the time Remember the time When we ran that town so fine (remember the time) Remember the time Remember the time Now tell me you still know mine (remember the time) [Verse 2] I had a coat with a velvet seam And a mind like a switchblade, sharp and clean Played the room like a mark, then I split the crowd With a smile on my face and a vow too loud You had pearls on your throat, I had trouble in hand We danced past the sirens, made a map in the sand If the house went cold, I lit it back up Now every old ghost wants a sip from my cup [Pre-Chorus] Hold up Hear that crackle, that late-night ring That's the sound of a memory getting mean Hold up If you got the nerve, come take your place I’m still the ace with the same old face [Chorus] Remember the time Remember the time When we ran that town so fine (remember the time) Remember the time Remember the time Now tell me you still know mine (remember the time) [Bridge] Shh Needle drops, and the room goes still I hear your laugh on the windowsill Not a saint, not a saint, just a man with style But I kept that flame in a crooked smile If the night come back, let it come right through I’ve got one last dance and a debt to you [Final Chorus] Remember the time Remember the time When we ran that town so fine (remember the time) Remember the time Remember the time Now tell me you still know mine (remember the time) Remember the time Remember the time Roll that memory back one more time (remember the time)
