Before I had a phone that's
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day when I was a teenager
Before I had a phone that's
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
We went from having to be
Now I'm trying to pay my bills on time
I used to only go to school just
Damn, those days were carefree,
We were some young 'uns just frontin'
Remember when a sixter was
enough to make us go nuts?
But every time one of us would throw up,
Sneakin' into the movies,
tryna hook up with floozies
I used to take like six turns
you could consider me the class clown
Man, it's a trip when I think back
to the innocent image of me
As a kid with a pocket of lint and a dream
That shit, it makes me wanna bring
back a time with no limits
But yet I know that it's appearance
These are the things that we go through
When nobody showed you how
to stand up on your own two
So you turn your nothing into
something and you rose through
All of the pollution and confusion
Sincerely though I hope you get it clear
Things are dif ferent now but
some things will never change
But I swear I can remember it like yesterday
So let me take you way back
In the day when I was a teenager
Before I had a phone that's
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day when I was a teenager
Back in the day, back, back in the day
what a funny time to think about
cause a girl in year 9 asked me out
I never knew it's just a phase
When we happened to blaze,
half of those memories erased
sitting a test was a big deal
my name out upon that desk was a big deal
My world was tiny but the biggest
Learned that rules weren't set in stone
Dam n that was the quickest that I'd ever
My friends we grew together,
causing trouble, do you know better?
Back when the rumours spread,
I just might affect you forever
when rumours that are truthless
Can make you feel like losers,
Nerds got educated and they
made it and got stocked up
Girls we overrated stayed in
town and they got knocked up
How much we changed since the
first day that we rocked up
We followed fashion trends cause the
Ten years and it's back again but
When funk was dance music,
now it's more like techno
But every generation claims their
Slang was changing weekly
like the rumours of a kiss
We thought smoking was cheeky
and three schooners got us pissed
It goes to show it's nice
to know that ignorance is bliss
And I can't help myself but
Thinking back in the day when
Before I had a phone that's
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day when I was a teenager
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
Back in the day, back, back in the day
