Back in the day,
growing up in Hollis Queens New York,
I used to play in the day til the day got dark,

and everyone around me knew everybody else,
no matter what you do, you’re never by yourself,
school and homework were neccessary evils,
before you went out and daredeviled like Kenivel
football and softball and b-ball we played,
cause that’s that we went about it back in the day

Verse 2:

now back in the day,
block partys going on in the summer,
the echo in the street was the beat of the drummer,
guys and girls dancing, and kids ran around,
when I got a little older, grab the mic and throw down,
I always rocked the party, I never was afraid,
cause if you made a record you was gonna get paid,
Baby D was in there, and so was Super Rhymes,
and every signle DJ had a pair of good times,
now? hooked me, and put me in the crew,
but 15 brothers made it something like a zoo,
when I got through, like the other crews around,
with Jam, Pete, Hollis Crew and Solo Sound,
but meanwhile, all the kids were getting into fashion,
spend a couple dollars, hit the ave with a passion,
trying to be in with the rest of New Yorkers,
mock necks, knees, and a pair of british walkers,
the? to the turn to the ave for the shopping,
and once you got started, yo, there was no stopping,
and when it got cold there were coats to get inta,
sheep dogs and goosedowns that keep you warm in the winter,
collecting dust in my house today is some of the gear that I used to wear
around the way,
you gotta dress to impress is what I always say,
cause that’s the way you went about it back in the day

Verse 3:

back in the day I watched wrestling with Superfly Snuka,
a quart of? and a strawberry bazooka,
5 for a haircut, and they can make it thourough,
and 50 cents can get you anywhere in the borough,
karate movies came on Saturdays at 3,
the films were kind of cheap but they were dope to me,
movie scores for 3 bucks, and 5 in the city,
so 20 was plenty, with someone who was pretty,
you had to have heart, though,
and suckers were forbidden,
yes we were kids then, but no we wasn’t kidding,
I often reminisce about the real good times,
yo, I know it’s not Georgia, but it’s still on my mind,
back when we used to have the partys in the park,
and crack wasn’t nothing but a broken sidewalk,
you helped a brother out so he could make his way,
cause that’s how you went about it back in the day

Chorus: repeat 4x

Back in the days when i was young i’m not a kid anymore
But some days i sit and wish i was a kid again

Verse one:

I remember (back in the days)
When i just a little niggerole
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 hoodrat
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 niggaz singin the blues
That be always tryin to bag with the shag and karate shoes
Sayin "yo momma black, his momma this, his momma that"
Then he get mad and wanna scrap
We stay mad about, ten minutes then it’s like back on the bike
To play hide and go get it with the younger hoes by the bungaloes
Then switch to playin ding dong ditch, when that gets
Old and too cold to hack it, threw on a bomber jacket
You could tell the ballers cuz they bell wearin gazelles
And if they really had money raised be sportin bk’s
And, all the girls had they turkish link
If it broke then they made earrings to it, like they meant to do it
But, sometimes, i still sit and reminesce
Then, think about the years i was raised, back in the days

Chorus

(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?) (back in the day) (when?) (back in the day)

Verse two:

I’m still back in the days, but now the year is ’87
’88 that’s when my crew and i were in junior high
In 7th grade, i hated school wish it’d blown up
No doubt i couldn’t wait to get out (and be a grownup)
But let me finish this reminescin and tellin
Bout when girls was bellin tight courderoys like for the boys
Basket weaves, nike court airs, and footsie socks
And eatin pickles, with tootsie pops
And it don’t stop, i’m glad cuz when j.j. fad hit
Supersonic it was kinda like a sport to wear biker shorts
Or, to wear jeans and it seemed like the masses
Of hoochies, had poison airbrushed on they asses
Dudes, had on nike suits, and the pumas with
The fat laces, cuz 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
It’s true, you don’t realize really what you got til it’s gone
And i’m not, gonna sing another sad song, but
Sometimes i do sit and reminesce then
Think about the years i was raised, back in the days

Chorus

(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?) (back in the day) (when?) (back in the day)

(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?) (back in the day) (when?) (back in the day)

Verse three:

Well, it’s the niggerole, i figure that now i’m all grown up
Because i’m eighteen years old, and guess you could say i’m holdin
Down a steady job and crew steady mobbin
You steady bobbin your head and i’m paid, so i got it made
But, didn’t always have clout, used to live in south central l.a.
That’s where i stayed and figured a way out
I gave it all i had so for what it’s worth
I went, from rags to riches which is a drag but now i’m first
So ahmad and the jones’ is on our way up
Yup, we said that we was gonna make it since a kid
And we finally did, but
Sometimes i still sit there reminescin
Think about the years i was raised, back in the days

Chorus

(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?) (back in the day) (when?) (back in the day)

(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?) (back in the day) (when?) (back in the day)

Back in the days when i was young i’m not a kid anymore
But some days i sit and wish i was a kid again

Back in the days
*talking*
I got jacked for mines
You sound like a white dude "hey i got jacked for mines!"
Aight, aight…

Well, punk is dead
and, yeah, you’re next
but it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat

Face – I know you like it
Hard ‘N’ straight
Face – Think I’ll hang around and wait

Hey, old school – yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day

Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream ‘Guilty’ like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
the New Jacks
More than music it’s a way of life
Face

(Back in the day, back in the day)

She left me all alone
She told me on the phone
Now that just don’t seem right

I will close my eyes
And turn out all the lights
But I won’t cry tonight
‘Cause I’m already sleepin’

All of those things are in the past
Like a beaten up faded photograph
Can’t remember your name, who are you again
You’re history, history yeah

*Chorus*
Back in the day, my my hey hey
No more livin’ for yesterday
Come and kiss me, I will prove
That there’s more to me than you
Back in the day, my my hey hey
You don’t love me and that’s okay
I’m movin’ on and movin’ out
Think I can’t pull through just watch me without you

She always picked a fight
Every other night
And she was always right
Yeah right

Now I won’t be a fool
I guess I broke some rules
But I broke them on my own
When you were with someone else at night

All of those things are in the past
Like a beaten up faded photograph
Can’t remember your name, who are you again
You’re history, history yeah..

Back in the day, my my hey hey
No more livin’ for yesterday
Come and kiss me, I will prove
That there’s more to me than you
Back in the day, my my hey hey
You don’t love me and that’s okay
I’m movin’ on and movin, out
Think I can’t pull through just watch me without you

There’s a time, punchin’ the wall
Dyin’ to call, willin’ to crawl
No way, whatever, whatever
I guess we’re not meant to be together
That’s okay

Back in the day, my my hey hey
No more livin’ for yesterday
Come and kiss me, I will prove
That there’s more to me than you (back in the day)
Back in the day, my my hey hey
You don’t love me and that’s okay
Movin’ on and I’m movin, out
Think I can’t pull through just watch me without you
