Woman:

Jerome!, Jerome!

Put on that Bobby Womack

Man:

Naw, Girl I Wanna go way back

Check This Out

(Teddy Pendergrass' "Turn off the lights" starts)

Chorus:

Back In the days when I was young

Im not a kid anymore but somedays

I Sit and wish I was A Kid Again

Back In the days.....

Royce Da 5 9

(Verse I)

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 when out with girls I could go taggin along naggin

If she had a sis I could mack a baby hoodrat

Yall 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 tryna bag with the shag and karate shoes

Sayin yo momma black his momma this his momma that

Then he'd get mad and wanna scrap we'd stay mad about

10 minutes then it's like back on the bike to play Hide and Go Get It

With the younger hoes by the bungalos then switch to playin ding dong ditch

When that gets old and too cold to hack it

Throw on a bomber jacket

You could tell the ballas 'cause they bailed wearin Gazelles

If they really had money raised we sportin new K's

And all the girls had they turkish link

If it broke then they made earrings too

Like they meant to do it

But sometimes I still sit and reminiese and

Think about the years I was raised back in the days

(Others)

Back in the days

(Royce)

When?

(Others)

Back in the days

(Verse II)

Im still back in the days but now the year is 87, 88 that's

When my crew and I were in Jr. High in 7th grade I hated school

(Wished it had blown 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 bailin tight courderoys like

For the boys basket weaves, Nike, Cortez, and Footsie Socks

And eatin pickles with Toosie Pops and it don't stop

Im glad 'cause when J.J. fad that 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

'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 don't real-a-lize really what you got til it's gone

And Im not gonna sing anotha sad song

But sometimes I do sit and reminisce then

Think about the years I was raised

Back In The Day

(Chorus)

(The variations w/ royce and others)(2x)

(Verse III)

Well, it's the niggero I figga that now Im all grown up

Be'cause Im 18 years old and guess you could say Im holdin down

A steady job, true steady mobbin, you steady bobbin your head

And Im paid so I got it made but

Didn't always have clout useta 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 Im first

So (??? 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

(Chorus With Variations)
