I had a sweet purple raptors jacket, rental equipment and no goggles or snowpants. I would go mach 0.0000000000001 through the park and crane my neck going by all the features, wondering what some of them were for.

Once upon a time when I was a mere child I was at a friends house unprepared to be outdoors and we went skiing.  Back in those days snowblades were the bees knees so I spent the day on snowblades in jeans.  Even then I was embarrassed, but I wanted to be on the hill more.

Back in the days when I was a teenager
Before I had status and before I had a pager
You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop
My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop
I said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles
The way that Bobby Brown is just ampin like Michael
Its all expected, things are for the lookin
If you got the money, Quest is for the bookin
