If All You wanted in Your closet was Polo, Chaps, Nautica and Girbaud
If You ever heard an ice-cream truck playing "Do you hear what I hear... That boom, that boom..." Kilo Ali!
If You were PROUD of Kilo Ali being from Atlanta
If You knew all the words to "Nasty Dancer" and "Love In the Mouth"
If You Remember when there was no Phipps Plaza or extra wing to Lenox
If You Remember them building the BoA tower, and the IBM tower was the tallest in the city
If going to the Briar Patch was your school field trip
If You ever remember 7-11s in Atlanta and was like "WTH?" when Circle-Ks popped up everywhere
If all Your dance moves ended with a side-step, kick & fist pump with you yelling "Yeeeeeek!!!!!" (who knows how to spell it?)
If You said stuff like "joan'n," "parlay," "fiya," "yooway!!!" "dank," "crunk," "tight," "SHAWTAY"
If You PROUDLY spelled "shawty" S.H.A.W.T.Y. (and probably still say it sometimes)
If You call pop-locking "Tickin"
If You used to wear flip flops with socks
If You used to go to high school football games to watch the bands, NOT the football teams
If You had a Candylady in your neighborhood
If You remember Stewart Ave.
If You still appreciate simple lyrics (like EVERYONE once did back in the "my name is Keisha and I'm here to say..." days) in rap cause you know sometimes it ain't all about deep, saying something with meaning lyrics. Sometimes it's fun to just say some IGNORANT ish just cause it's fun... And if you don't believe me, just watch...
LMAO! You have taken me back. I am dying over here!
