Slick Rick - Memories Lyrics
Yeah, know what I mean Rick?
Know what I mean Rick?
Know what I mean Slick, Whoa!
Yeah, whee!
Fine grown Pine-Sol
Heavenly rhyme throne
Remember when you were young in the 70 time zone
Stages, ages about seven I say kid
The dress code of our parents looked awfully outrageous
Not down on em, games and clownin
When soul was at it's highest rate like James Brown 'n them
[??], A groovy era acting
Member seeing Shaft in the movie theater back then?
I feel Richard Roundtree got 'em a fly deal
Laughed a lot, some action mass production
Remember when cars were darn near half a block long?
Parents were so into that crap
Bunch a sweet memories to us older rap cats
Muhammad Ali knucklin in tournament
Pimp daddy hats with buckles and ornaments
How we forget snappy
Five people sleepin' in one matress and yet happy
Could even make sex seem sour
As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause
[Chorus: x2]
Rick make memories sealed in almanacs
Not to mention the immence appeal the mack hat
When you wake up in the morning (redeem from any crap)
Because I bring that love and feeling back to rap
[Slick Rick]
For situated as poor beneficialator
Kool-Aid couldn't last a hot minute in the 'frigerator
School notes, slidin and stealin, hidin 'em
Bazooka, bubble gum cartoons still inside of 'em
No way same essence of ?
Pimps flyest dressin' muthafuckas, weren't they?
But hood lies, you afraid of a good wine?
I used to love the actor who portrayed one on Good Times
You need a friend to ? a soul, man it kinda slow
One thing 'bout a bro, overflow when it ?
Life, a pitiful game
'Member the robot?
That was my shit on Soul Train
Got hyped to, psyched to,
And the feelin's right to chillin' on the fire
escape on a nice night too
No, I'm not gon' try to hurt the ?
Remember ride on blood and dry turkey slang?
Brothers chippin' in for alcoholic money
When you look at old flicks don't we all look funny?
Could even make sex seem sour
As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause
[Chorus]
[Slick Rick]
Yo' mama, damn we used to talk improper then
Member when we used to walk bop, walk bop again?
Givin' them the rythym that we bought
Push our hand back like we was swimmin' when we walked
Bad all about, Huggie Bear, Rat all about
Member afros, what the fuck was that all about?
Buenos noches accents too...friends too
Everybody had a lot of roaches back then too
Profusely around us, Loosley ?
Fleets wearin' Bruce Lee Bandanas
And kick shit, ballin the hand I stick wit'
[?????]
Most cases, fatha' away for good
Local Flat Foot was part-of the neighborhood
Standard, and the panthers (Wow)
Used to dress like Erykah Badu and Amanda's now
Could even make sex seem sour
As I impress the world with my extreme power, cause
[Chorus x1.5]

This song ' hella sick, Slick Rick. Nice Pimpin' G. Chillin' Easy. Word to mother like ridin' wit' Outkast. Chillin' with that illness that is us. Steady pimpin'. Being Easy. Realism. "'Cause I'm bringin' that Lovin' Feeelin' back to life." Word Up.
2019 still takes me back
S O U N D F L O W
Love the way he does the different voices to tell the story...so good
That his accent
riding through north Philly summer of 98 maybe 99 bumping this.. memories 4 real... miss them days..
Mozart with an 808.
I love Slick's voice forever
People dont understand how this dude is one the greatest
💯💎👑
His choice of words are second to none. And over a beat such as this. One of the greats.
First heard him slick rick children’s story back in 2000, my sister and I would repeat it all the time. Can sure bring vision to mind when you hear his lyrics.
Beautiful old school rap!!!! Keep going !一
Bringing back so many good memories..soul train saturday morn toons..the bump..da ruler
ohhh bring me back to the 9th grade! even considered old school back then!
Wayyyyyy underrated... Slick Rick is the Greatest
Slick Rick the Ruler.
Good Song :)
Lyrical genius.
He mentioned Good Times, Janet was on Good Times😃
This music is where it’s at.💯sad they missing out
Slick rick se escucha hasta en Argentina Mar Del Plata
legendary M.C status. salute frum Aotearoa, new Zealand...
Yo watup
"Bunch of sweat memories to us older rap cats"
Say no more!
Slick Rick still dat and some..come back wit more storytelling..I got my 2 Kings listening to ol skool. And they love it....
2018 😎
Its weird listening to Slick Rick only for awhile and then being able to hear the huge lyrical difference when you listenin to other hip hop artists. No one can match Rick da Ruler
Old School is life
all girls naked riight
22 thumbs down???
Nigga please!!!!!
2018 still
i want this beat
Same I just want to know where the sample is from. This song was stuck in my head on my first date with my wife. I kept whistling it over and over again while I was cooking her dinner.
"Rick make memories sealed in Almanacs!"
Definition of an Almanac. "an annual calendar containing important dates and statistical information such as astronomical data and tide tables." =Legend.
still bangin dis...slick is da story teller..4 real
takes u back when rick used to rip the track then skip to another rithymn aint no stoppin until the tables stop spinning
So good
'member afros? what the fuck was that all about?
Already bumpin this in 2017
Shid 2018
great and clean music I like
ENGLISH !
best story teller of all time....period
@Balzac T. Bagher
Only scarface himself would say that
You really would need to put Scarface pretty high up. But yeah no one ever did it like Rick. Snoop knows, Redman knows, Biggie had the influence but never stated it directly like the other two. There will never be another like the Ruler.
Your right my friend.....i remember slick rick back in the 80s man
Not to disagree with the nas n scarface but who you think they where listen to....to even have a story to tell🤔 The Ruler🤫
Damn so good.
Someone bring back. Old School! please! the world aint the same without it.
+Shaun Wilder check out A-F-R-O, the kid is making an album with Dj Premier!!!!!
you right
Working on bringing story telling back. And pro beat making not this cookie cutter clout shit
Man I grew up loving Tupac/Nas and over time Ive just continued to dig...Hate to say it but Rick makes so many other greats just sound trashy.
there are many underrated cats who are better than 2pac. Nas indeed better than pac. That's because some can go up with wack tracks but some work for It&care for It.
This is such a chill song. Got to love. Anyone know other songs like this?

This Song. <3
this track comes on the album right after adults only which is the most hardcore sex tune ive ever heard. Its funny cos anyone who was shocked by that tune gets this as the total opposite. clever idea
does anyone have the instrumental for this?
Yea I would love to hear the instrumental also,it makes want to dance all over the place...and smile😁
listening to 90's music nostalgic for the 70's in 2012!
This is real music
Wheres 2 way street!?!

Real Talk, Lets start we start a petition. Thumbs up if you think this album should be given out to kids as a lesson in music.
this whole album should be given out to kids as a lesson in music
Somebody needs to post 'I own America'!!!
This album and Operation Doomsday were the ultimate encore to the 20th century.
Slick Rick...This dude was way ahead of his TIME!!
Smooth, Rick is just SO SMOOTH
SIKKKK

@TopShotta10904 word
@wdchr word?
woah when he first comes in he sounds like Doom! Doom must've been influenced by rick
@jonasser8 IDK about a new album from Slick Rick, but I believe that he wrote this album while he was in jail. Could be wrong about that. Great record
@Hazzleguy1 Fine, one of the best lol
@DonProducci i wont argue with you but i have to say its very fucking debateable
Rap Genius. Love this Album and Ricky D.
Mmm Hmmm
BEST SONG EVER. Go ahead, argue with me!
ricky ruler flowing on this track doing his thing love it
90's hip hop the best!!!

@wdchr For real. The greatest story ever told.
One of the greatest rapper walk, I'm saying
In the field makin' my brick witout hayin'
Mad busy kid, nah whip cut here
"You boy, drop your bundle. Bring your butt in!"
A soldier, what I do for that hood?
"Are you that slave everybody tellin' me rap good?"
"Calm down, not going ta murder ya."
"Clean yourself, Pharoah said he wanna have a word wit' ya."
Ricky D always puts a smile on the face.
Can u please post the song Rotten Em. Probably the greatest story ever told in Hip Hop
