1996

1996 when any music styles created became instant hits To much R&B, rock, rap and any other genre that fits I remember waking up early, to see my mom say hay hun Well, she thought that but truth was I was waiting on sailer moon and pokemon Walking to the bust stop is in good memory like yesterday Jump the fence then take the cut and hide out until the bus rode away I still can smell the summers I shared with my loyal crew Entire days of hide n’ seek, manhunt, freeztag, and any other thing we wanted to do Once I argued with my brother because he had taken my favorite color Not just any color, but this was the green ranger, and he could’ve chose in any other We settled this the way all things were handle back then Paper, rock, scissors, any many mighty mo best 2 out 3, and over and over again That contest weren’t based off skill or talent within, but somehow we thought the winners were the real men I won the contest of men and then we would begin, every neighborhood kid chose a fictional character to be After selections were made the battle royal start and quickly in and in catastrophe Johny Twisted his ankle, jasmine was cut with a roof shingle, and then there was I Thoughts of Ohh man I’m the greatest power ranger ever before my mother would use her belt to make me cry Im whipping you out of love she would say I would think I love you to so is it possible we could turn this in my favor the other way Then the days would fade And rest for another day 1996 chaos in craze, Just like yesterday, yep those were the days
