Them early days we ain't have cable
I thought the family foundation was mad stable
I learned to scoop the bottom of the pot with the ladle
We made mud pies with bottle tops and ate the play dough
Me and moms were the only ones who ate the egg rolls
I remember all my lil cousins in the cradle
I just lost a couple cousins wish I could of saved you
I always tried to be the cool cousin did I fail you
Cuz we ain't have cable
(Had to go outside)
We ain't have cable
We ain't have cable
Cable
Them early days we ain't have cable
Used to watch uncle play dominoes and slap tables
When he taught me how to ride a bike it was a wrap
I explored all four corners of the map
Some ol' head took my bike he a bitch for that
Figure I steal somebody's bike and spray paint it black
I'm past curfew mad late running back
Moms hella aggravated she would tell me "get the strap!"
(Got my ass whipped)
We ain't have cable
We ain't have cable
We ain't have cable
Cable
Them early days we aint have cable
I was bougie bologna and cheese on a bagel
The cutest girl on the block is who I was walking with
Before I knew about coodies already swapping spit
Hide n' go get it made us promiscuous
Young playah I used to be a polygamist
We used to fight aye'day we trained militant
Some brothers I fought then I still kick it with
You know why?
Cuz we aint have cable
We had a brotherhood, we had love, we had a block, a community, we was outside nigga
(Its time to disconnect)
(Its time to disconnect)

(Take time and disconnect)
Shit was different
