Back in the days when I was young,im not a kid anymore but some days I sit wish I was a kid again (x2) Back in the days......
When I was just a little niggero I looked up to my bigger bro Begged if I could kick it so When he went out with girls I could go taggin along Naggin,if she had a sis,maybe could mack a baby hood rat Y'all remember way back then When it was 1985 All the way live I think I was about ten One of those happy little niggas singin the blues That be always tryin 2 bag with the shag and karate shit Sayin yo mama black His momma this His momma that Then he'd get mad and wanna scrap We'd stay mad,about ten minutes spin it like back on the bike to play hide and go get it with the younger hoes by the bungalos Then switch to playing ding-dong-ditch When that gets old and to cold to hack it Threw on a baller jacket You could tell the ballers cause they fell wearin gazelles If they relly had money raised we'd sport NeeKay's (Nike's) And on the girls had they turkish link If it broke they made earings to it, like they mean to do it But sometimes I still sit and reminisce Then think about the years I was raised, back in the days
Back in the days when I was young,im not a kid anymore
but some days I sit wish I was a kid again (x4)
And everybody say (I remember way back when) And everybody say (I remember way back when) And everybody say (I remember way back when) What? (Backin the days) When? (back in the days)
Im still back in the days But now the year is 87-88 Thats when my crew and I Were in Junior high in 7th grade I hated school (wishin i had grown up) No doubt I couldnt wait to get out (and be a grown up) But let me finish this reminiscin and tellin Bout when girls was spellin tight cordorouys like for the boys Basket weaves Nike cortez and footsie socks And eatin pickles with tootsie pops And it dont stop I'm glad cause when JJ fad Did super sonic It was kind of like a sport to where biker shorts Or to where jeans and it seemed like the masses of hoochies Had poison air brushed on they asses Dudes had on nike suits And the Puma's with the fat laces Cause it was either that or K-Swiss I miss those days and so I pout like a grown jerk Wishin all I had to do now was finish homework Its true you dont realize really what you got til its gone and im not gonna sing another sad song but sometimes I do sit and reminisce then think about the years I was raised Back in the day

Well its the niggero
I figure that now im all grown up
Because im 18 years old
And guess you could say im holdin down
a steady job,and crew steady mob
and you steady bobbin your head
And im paid
so I got it made
but didnt always have clout
Used to live in south central LA
Thats where I stayed and figured a way out
I gave it all I had
so for what its worth
I went from rags to riches
wich is a drag
but now im first
So(?....on our way up)
Yeap,we said that we was gonna make it since a kid
and we finally did
But sometimes I still sit and reminisce then
think about the years I was raised
back in the day
Back in the days when I was young,im not a kid anymore
