Song lyrics

[Intro:]
– That summer, the summer ‘88 is the best.
– But that's your nostalgia, though, ‘just for the nostalgia' you gotta say.
– That's my most nostalgic moment of hip hop music ever.
– Right.

[Refrain: Inspectah Deck]
Carry like Mariah!

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you,
I won't fool ya, I won't make you be my own,
Oh, baby, you know, all that love-making we did,
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again.
Long lost friend from way back when
Eric B was president,
Tell me where the melody went.
And if you still care, say yeah, yeah, yeah!
Sing it like I used to do,
This one is for me and you, oh!

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
La di da di da di da,
That's how you do it,
That's how to make it okay.
And, oh, baby, you know, make love,
That's how you do it,
Just like you did it back then,
This is dedicated to you.

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to ya,
I won't fool ya, I won't make you be my own,
Oh, baby, you know, all that love-making we did,
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again.
Loyal friends from way back then,
Tell me, can you vision us
36 Chambers high?
Feels like we're there, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Remix of a ‘Fantasy',
I hear ‘em singing back to me like...

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Nas]
Nah, we don't wish today's game was old again,
We just wish it wasn't full of Draconian, Babylonian, phony men.
FOH! my summation fascinates, we have debates,
Who's the greatest livin' or passed away.
I ask MC, see what she has to say,
‘Eric B or Master P, some see it differently.
‘87 meant to me? I try to describe it, you try to relive it.'
I try to revive it hopin' that you get it, yeah!
Something about ‘La Di Da Di' got inside our bodies,
Something about ‘My Adidas' comin' out the speakers,
Used to do doo-wop or the ‘Pee-Wee Herman',
Rest in peace Heavy D, ‘Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon'.
Let's go!

[Chorus]
