[Verse 1]

You lived with your mum, I live with my dad

It was that little pad with a pool, house full of jazz

We had Coltrane playing on the record player

I had a pair of Jordans holey as the ozone layer

Sending out prayers nightly to the Holy Ghost

I found the ones that let me down, yo I needed most

It's cool him not being round though

It became my greatest strength and his greatest downfall

Fremantle line party we first met

Kareem Campbell skateboard up in the tape deck was Nas

And I marked every surface

No paycheck, still halved a bottle of bourbon with

Carlsani, mixed tapes with Adam

DJ Vadams the terrorist, it was our anthem

And we balanced the train tracks

Man, we will never get those days back

Yo we wore Helly Hansen, walked under streetlight dancing

Biggie was the anthem, my little peanut butter let's jam


[Chorus]

My little peanut butter let's jam

Yo yo yo that's it

I'ma meet you at the Hyde Park Hotel

Those days you were my whole world

Yo we wore Helley Hansen

My little peanut butter


[Verse 2]

Back then your energy was electric

Your eyes that shined bright as your gold necklace

Obsessed with the scent of your Cool Water perfume

Not even Tuxon's smell could ever better it

We walked through the cemetery to get to the party

Classy best dressed, some of them ghastly

From shooting the nasty stuff, we were the classy ones

Cut from the cloth of Ye' Saint Laurent

Master of, never worrying mumma

My sis did that enough on the come up

Too stealth to get done I was a ninja

Mumma was my center

Hunter and Daz were the instigators for me to enter

The next phase of my journey being an MC

With C grades I wouldn't even expect me

To be where I am, from Yokine to Greenwood

To Shenton Park and back, the fact was


[Bridge]

Life is only good as your mindset is

Only ever good as your mindset

Got to be thankful for the gift of time we had

Can you imagine if we knew we were timeless

We wore Helley Hansen, walked under street dancing

My little peanut butter let's jam


[Chorus]

My little peanut butter let's jam

Yo yo yo that's it

I'ma meet you at the Hyde Park Hotel

Those days you were my whole world

Yo we wore Helley Hansen

Yo we wore Helley Hansen

We walked under street dancing

Yo yo yo that's it

I'ma meet you at the Hyde Park Hotel

Those days you were my whole world

Yo we wore Helley Hansen


[Outro]

But I can not breathe

Please grant me serenity

'Cause I can not breathe

I know I can be a better me, I know that

I can not breathe

Grant second chance

'Cause l can not breathe

I can not breathe

Life is only good as your mindset is

Only ever good as your mindset

Got to be thankful for the gift of time we had

Hey

Breathe

Breathe

We had skateboards

Solid markers

Double Dragon
