I was born in the 8-0 
Eighties Baby, Paula Abdul raised me
On Oregon's trail 
Lost my family to dysentery
Hyper, like taking shots 
Of gummy berry
But showing respect, was customary
Trapper Keeper kept me organized
And intact
Garbage pail kids, the only time 
We bought packs 
Easter Sunday 
Was the only day we wore slacks 
With buster brown or Thom McCann shoes and a ball cap
Batman shirt and biker shorts in all black
Walking into Woolworth 
Like where the birds at
Rocking British Knights 
Til I had holes in the soles
Eyeing the L.A. lights 
But I couldn't afford those 
No Barnes and Nobles dot com
Ordered books through Trolls 
And scholastic
Mary Lou made us love gymnastics 
Optimus died
I wanted to stop cartoons
Til I got envious of the rich
Watching silver spoons.. 
No talking in class..
None of this turn to your partner
You want the gossip, break your point
Meet me at the sharpener 
And middle school assignments
Always Seemed doable,
Britannica and Dewey decimal
Were the google
Before we hopped on tracks 
Saying we was killing cats
An alien from Melmac 
Was already doing that.. 
Speaking of tracks, am I old school to think that
Auto tune and mumble rap
Set the genre back 
Am I judging if I say it'd do some rappers well
Get hooked on phonics 
Or just buy themselves a speak and spell

Helmets didn't exist 
Knee pads didn't exist
Guards for your wrist
What the heck is this
I didn't know one person
Who had a peanut allergy
I'm being real
Dropping facts of Life like Mallory 
No iTunes for my tunes
I had to spend time
Waiting by the radio 
Record and rewind
Record and rewind.. ahhhh
The DJ talked on the song
I hope he's quiet next time 
Good times 
I got memories in class 
Playing mash in stone wash jordache
Strawberry shortcake dolls smelled nice
Ohh you got jokes
I know you are but what am I
I know you are but what am I 
Every girl with Long hair
Had the pony to the side 
Shorties had the skip-it
Bros had the pogo ball
Girls loved the Corey's 
Boys wanted Ringwald 
Mom watched Who's the boss
She liked Tony Danza
The only reason boys watched
We liked Samantha. Wooo
This is the 80s baby anthem
Triple Fat Goose
Everybody had them
I got a secret, promise me
That you won't tell
After baby Jessica fell
I was deathly afraid of wells

You probably wondering 
What's the point of this track
None, really
Except to bring nostalgia back
The good feelings you had
Living without a care
The big dreams you had 
To see your fam on Double Dare
Trying to take you to a place 
Where you used to smile more
Where PSA's taught you 
That drugs were your downfall
We didn't need common core
Pull out your cims and study
And chucky made us afraid 
To own a my-buddy
If someone came at you
With no hesitation 
You diss their mother, their father 
And whole generation 
We had Atari, Nintendo
No PlayStation
Orchard & Pelham Bay
No vacation
Floppy's were floppy
And dot matrix copies were ruined
If you tore off the edges
Too sloppy
If you ain't an 80's baby
I'm kinda sorry you not me
I'm a mix of Miami vice swag
With a Cosby
Punky Brewster's spunk
With Tracy Ullmans comedy
And When I wanna clean
That's the Belvedere inside of me
And I don't mean liquor 
But I could keep flowing 
Gimme a Hi-C ecto cooler
And I could keep going
