Throw Back Lyrics - Weekend Warrior - Biz Markie

[Verse One] 

I'd like to tell a story and it goes like this 

Before I was makin money hand over fist 

The mid-80's is what I'm talkin about 

You will agree without a reasonable doubt 

As I tell this tale, sittin on a pail 

This is one you'll like when it's done 

Only certain people know about Union Square 

The Rooftop, Latin Quarter, cause I was there 

Red Alert downtown, Brucie Bee uptown 

Grandmaster Vic had a different sound 

You had block parties, with free gifts 

Mr. Magic and Marley gave radio a lift 

You don't understand, but we do 

That's why I'm tryin to explain it to you 

So sit back and listen, to what I say 

As I tell the story of this beautiful day 

[Chorus: sampled] 

"We'll go dancing in the dark" - HEY! 

"Walking through the park, and reminiscing" 

BREAK IT ON DOWN! 

[Verse Two] 

Before Versace and DKNY 

There was a lot of clothes that was fly 

Like Polo, Benetton, Coca-Cola and Osh Kosh 

Guess jeans and others that's acid washed 

D.C. wore K-Swiss and Sergio {?}Vertini 

Girls wore tennis skirts, that was mini 

Spot{?}, Ewings, {?} 

New Balance, Fila, Nike and Elites 

African clothes and medallions was worn 

And when Rakim came out, knowledge was born 

In the midst of it all, I almost forgot 

There was a brother uptown makin his own spot 

Makin Gucci, leather and suede tailor made 

That had more flavor than mom's Kool-Aid 

I'm gonna tell you, the name of this man 

He goes by the name of the Dapper Dan 

[Chorus]
