Pure Gold Lyrics - Fabriclive 76 - Calyx

Flat bush, kick push, boogie board 

Punch drunk, punch kick, super hard 

Bruce Lee, Spike Lee, broken nose 

Pop's home, pop's gone, broken home 

Live Aid, A-Team, fly like Mike 

Recess, schoolbooks, dynamite 

Backpack, Headphones, B.D.P. 

Ice Cube, Fresh Prince, MTV 

It was mix tapes, spray cans, subway trains 

It was black books, markers and halls of fame 

It was shell toe Adidas with super fat laces 

And the girls with the knee socks rocking the braces, yo 

It was basketball and smoking pot 

And pushing down the pedal till the motor's hot 

Rum and Coke a lot, Karmacoma style 

When push came to shove, it was love, listen 

It was getting tattoos, smoking cigarettes 

It was Zig Zag papers, time to build a spliff 

It was getting digits, kinda hit and miss 

It was happiness, lies and kids, come on 

It was making out for hours, sharing a shower 

It was sleepover parties, it was midnight hours, ya 

Getting into fights, dodging the cops 

We was rocking the club on the drop (drop) 

You can change the fashion, you can change the style 

But you can't change the way that I feel about time 

'Cause time went gold in '89 

And kept it live through '95 

[2x] 

It was cross color gear and hopscotch 

Fat boomin' cassettes when the box rocks 

It was gazin' the lights from the rooftop 

And then grinding the slides in the boondocks 

It was big-checkered shirts over long sleeves 

It was trips to the 'Dam for the strong weed 

We were so free and wild it was gnarly, yo 

It was party bullshit back to party 

It was 2-wheel and 3-wheel and 4-wheel drive 

It was hip-hop and jungle and reggae live 

Peace, love, unity, respect vibes 

It was ladybug, doodlebug and butterfly 

It was def jam jokes and delirious 

All them old folks complain and fearin' us 

'Cause our magic was strong and mysterious 

We got serious on the drop (drop)
