Back In The Days Lyrics - M.i.c. (make It Count) - Royce Da 5'9

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 its 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 

(Chorus) 

(Royce and Others over chorus) (3x) 

(Royce) 

And everybody say. 

(Others) 

I remember way back when 

(Variations) 

(Royce) 

What? 

(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 thats 

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 dont 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 dont real-a-lize really what you got til its 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, its 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 

Didnt always have clout useta live in South 

Central L.A. 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 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)
