How 'Bout Them Apples?

Interpreting modern rap music for really out of touch people volume 1

Verse 1 and Chorus of The Game' Start From Scratch. I may do verses two and three tonight.

If I could start from scratch I wouldn't change shit
No regrets.
Same red bandana same 45th
Teal just isn't his color.
Same g wagon same hoodrat bitch
He has made smart choices in my automobile purchases and women to be involved with relationships.
Workers in the kitchen cookin up my shit
It is important to have friends with excellent quiche recipes.
Same telephone booth same connect
He really likes his phone number, and the sound of the dial tone.
That mean the same hollow tips breakin up in my chest
He was shot. He did not enjoy it.
Same bloody t-shirt same address
The blood got stains in too tough for even Shout.
Same dog food album bangin in my tape deck
He enjoys a whole plethora of artists, Snoop Dogg being one of them.
Homie if I could make 94 today
If someone invented a time travel machine.... and set it to 1994
I'd tell easy and dre to bring back N.W.A.
He would search out Eazy-E and Dr. Dre, and tell them to bring back N.W.A.
I would have told Pac not to stomp Orlando
He would have travelled to Las Vegas to mediate the dispute between Tupac Shakur and Orlando Anderson at the MGM Grand after the Tyson fight on September 7th 1996, had he had a time machine.
Told puffy and B.I.G about the Rampart scandal
He would have talked at great length with Puff Daddy or "Diddy" as he is known now and Christopher Wallace or "Biggie" about some corrupt police officers in L.A. the Rampart Scandal.
I got too many dead homies
He has lost a lot of friends.
Fuck a rap career
He would give up all the Jesus Peaces, and go back to slanging for a chance to have all of his friends back.
I'd give anything in the world to bring back my nigga tez
He misses his friend Tez, he wishes he was around so that they could play Scrabble.
Seem like we was jus' in magic city yesterday
He remembers their trip to Magic Mountain very well, they especially enjoyed the water rides.
If I could bring back my homeboy charles he would say...
He obviously is grieving over the loss of Charles Schultz the creator of "Snoopy", which was his favorite Sunday Morning Comic Strip

[Chorus]
If I could start my life from scratch
If I could take away the pain off my past
If I had another chance I would do just that
I'd give anything jus' to go right back

If I could start my life from scratch
If I could take away the pain off my past
If I had another chance I would do just that
I'd give anything jus' to go right back

Regrets, regrets, regrets.
