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 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)
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 when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
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 babyhood 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' to bag with the shag (back in the days)
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 bungalows
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 'cause they bell wearin' gazelles
And if they really had money raised, be sportin' BK's (back in the days)
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 reminisce
Then, think about the years I was raised, back in the days
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 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)
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
(What?) (Back in the day) (when?) (Back in the day) but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
I'm still back in the days (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 blow up)
No doubt, I couldn't wait to get out (and be a grown up)
But let me finish this reminiscing and tellin' 'bout when girls was bellin' tight corduroys 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, 'cause 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 airbrushes on they asses (back in the days)
Dudes, had on Nike suits, and the Pumas 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
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 reminisce then think about the years I was raised, back in the days
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 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)
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
(What?) (Back in the day) (when?) (Back in the day) but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (back in the days)
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when) (time to think of what I used to watch when I was growing up, uh)
(And everybody say) (I remember way back when)
(What?) (Back in the day) (when?) (Back in the day) (time to think of what I used to watch when I was growing up, uh)
Well, it's the niggerole I figured it now I'm all grown up
Because I'm 18 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 and reminisce, then think about the years I was raised, back in the days
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 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)

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (come on, yeah, you know I told you niggas) (ha-ha)
Say like what? I had your tag, man
Listen toad, you know that I used to tell them back too
(Back in the day), something happened
Ha, I remember my brothers from some late nights
Here's somethin' for you (you wanna talk a 'bout it now?)
You'll hijack for mama (I'm a CIA)
He sound like a white dude, I-, I get jacked for months
Alright, alright
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
