Diggy ft. Jadakiss - 88 Lyrics

You know they gon' say ('88, '88, '88, '88)
What Diggy know bout '88? ('88, '88, '88)
Well I know this much (ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
They made a lotta money back then (ayy, ayy, ayy)
And that's what mine lookin' like (ayy, ayy, ayy)

Aye lil', it's Diggy
Got the key to the city (yeah)
Check my family tree
You know uncle taught Diddy (yeah)(he did)
Who turned around and taught Biggie (ha)
And Biggie taught Jigga
So you can just imagine what he teachin' me (uh huh, uh)
My top down in the winter
My doors up in the summer
I pulled up to the light
And I drove off with her number (ayy, baby)
'88 is the number
Like Michael Irvin, but younger (yeah)
Ain't no preservin' my hunger
Know they like, "Where did he come from?" (yeah)
Well I got two years in
And a couple of months
Yeah, the road was Bobby Brown
It had a couple of bumps (yeah)
They be showin' me love
Minus a couple of chumps
In my best Chris Tucker voice, "Is this watchu want?"

No need to front
Homie, pardon my back
I'm gettin' it crazy
How retarded is that?
I'm playin' my cards
Got a fist full'a ace's
And these lil' faces
I'm spendin' you prolly could trace it

To '88, '88, '88, '88, '88, '88 (and I'm still spendin' money from '88)
'88, '88, '88, '88, '88
'88 (and I'm still spendin' money from '88)

(Hold up) I hear the hate, I don't sweat it
'Cause I'm gettin' that fetti' ('fetti)
I see a lot of mad rappers
Derric D-Dot Angelettie
Compliments to the chef
Ya boy out here eatin' great
Homie, you ain't no umpire
Why you watchin' my plate?
While you watchin my pockets, Jordan 3's in my closet
I get it all sent to me
So, I don't need to go to shoppin'
I ain't braggin', I'm swaggin'
My fly ladies what's happenin'?
Shouts to Nicki, I'm an Aries and we go good with Sag's (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mhmm
Hope that made you smirk
I'm a flirt like Kirk
With Dirty Money, God made dirt and uh, dirt don't hurt
This for my, that's gettin' it every month on the first (yeah)

No need to front
Homie, pardon my back
I'm gettin' it crazy
How retarded is that? (yeah)
I'm playin' my cards
Got a fist full'a ace's
And these lil' faces
I'm spendin' you prolly could trace it (yeah)

To '88, '88, '88, '88, '88
'88, '88, '88, '88 (and I'm still spendin' money from '88)
'88, '88, '88, '88
(And I'm still spendin' money from '88)

Yo, that's what my family was rockin'
I just sat back and watched 'em (uh huh)
I was only thirteen, so I ain't know nothin bout coppin' (nah)
I just knew that they had it
And if I asked then I got it
It all started from trees
Then it turned to narcotics (ah ha)
All the whips was exotic (yeah)
All the chicks was erotic (uh huh)
Money was comin' so fast
All you needed was product (true)
And somebody to test it
Find a good place to try it (uh huh)
Never keep nothin' on you (nah)
Find a good place to hide it (uh huh)
If I'm in it I own it
'Cause if I like it I buy it
Keep the loud in the air
Kinekt like that I'm quiet
How'd you hop in this platinum
And you ain't even near gold
'Cause I'm still spendin' money
That's twenty-four years old

'88, '88, '88, '88, '88
'88, '88, '88, '88, '88 (and I'm still spendin' money from '88)
'88, '88, '88
(And I'm still spendin' money from '88, from '88, from '88, from '88)
