    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 

    Verse 3
    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 
    mom
    ma 
    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 'cause 

    they 
    bell 
    wearin 
    gazelles 

    If 
    they 
    really 
    had 
    money 
    raised 

    be 
    sportin 
    bk's 

    And, 
    all 
    the 
    girls 
    had 
    they 
    turk
    ish 
    link 

    If 
    it 
    broke 
    then 
    they 
    made 
    ear
    rings 
    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 

    Verse 4
    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 

    (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) 

    I'm 
    Verse 5
    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 
    blow 
    up) 

    No doubt 
    I couldn't 
    wait 
    to 
    get 

    out 
    (and be 
    a 
    grownup) 

    Verse 6
    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 
    '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 

    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 
    an
    other 
    sad 
    song, 

    but 

    Sometimes 
    I 
    do 
    sit 
    an
    d 

    reminesce then 

    Think 
    about 
    the 
    years 
    I 
    was 
    raised, 


    back 
    in the 
    days 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    (And everybody 


    say) (I remember 
    way 
    back 
    when) 

    (And everybody 
    say) (I remember 

    way 
    back 
    when) 

    (And every
    body 
    say) (I remember 

    way 
    back when) 

    (What?) (back 
    in 
    the 

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

    Well, it's 
    the 
    Verse 8
    niggerole, I 
    fig
    ure 

    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

    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 

    Some
    times 
    I 
    still 
    sit 
    and 

    reminesce, then 

    Think 
    about 
    the 
    years 
    I 
    was 
    raised, 

    Interlude 2

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      "

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
