Song Description

Reminiscing about what it was like... Back in the Day!

Lyrics

It's Killa Joe - from da wayback baby - I'm bout to hit cha
Wit da black light bulb - and the big velvet picture
Deuce and a quarter - manila bag nic
Da Afro - hot comb - grease and the pick
House parties - 8 Tracks - jam on the radio
Run to ya boombox - hurry up - tape dat
Rollin' thru da hood wit a License to Ill
77 Caprice wit da lights in da grill
Dice in da mirror - Grip on da wheel
Flip over the auto reverse - You Gots To Chill
Shirts wit big collars - wide bottom slacks
Three buttons open wit da high heel stacks
98 Regency - white wall tires
Rick James & Teena - Earth, Wind, Fire
Ol skool got me Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Just thinkin' bout back in the day

Hook:
Remember when...
Chasin' honeys was the thing
Back in the Day
We didn't worry bout a thing
Back in the Day
Things are different - life just ain't the same
But I sit and reminisce on - Back in the Day


We spent nights at da skatin' rink - days on the courts
OJ Simpson - Wide World of Sports
Tryin' to be cool - but fights after school
Got yo ass whupped - everytime you act a damn fool
Mama was NO punk - she was quick to get wit cha
And daddy knocked the WIND up out cha when he would hit cha
A parent was a parent and a child was a child
And they would rather kill you than to let you run wild
Caddies, Nova's, Camero's Cordova's
"Can I spend the night?" - "Can my friends come over?"
Bomb pops, push ups, and ice cream cones
Head to Head football - rotary dial phones
Baby hair - dimples - short little skirts
Baggies - wingtips - and John Wayne shirts
Boogie Nights - Heatwave - Steve Arrington & Slave
Man, I'm talkin' bout back in da days!

Hook:
Remember when...
Chasin' honeys was the thing
Back in the Day
We didn't worry bout a thing
Back in the Day
Things are different - life just ain't the same
But I sit and reminisce on - Back in the Day



The Jefferson's - Sandford & Son - different strokes
Ten speed bikes - tennis balls in the spokes
Mirrors on the handlebars - raise up the seats
Bad lil' homies ridin' wheelies in the street
Malls on Saturday - rides on the bus
Shut it up - mamma comin - you can't cuss
Jessie wit a afro - Operation Push
Ford - Carter - Reagan - Bush
Cut da grass - take out da trash - clean ya room
Rake leaves - wash dishes - git da broom
Errbody quiet when it's lightning and thunder
It's like a jungle sometimes - it makes me wonder
I love the old school, but them days is gone
Worthy, Magic, the Doctor, Malone
Letterman jackets wit da big gold "C"
23 and 34 - that's me and D


Hook:
Remember when...
Chasin' honeys was the thing
Back in the Day
We didn't worry bout a thing
Back in the Day
Things are different - life just ain't the same
But I sit and reminisce on - Back in the Day
