[00:26.94]Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
[00:29.31]But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
[00:32.62]Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
[00:35.73]But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
[00:38.09]Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
[00:40.21]When I just a little niggerole
[00:41.22]I looked up to my bigger bro
[00:42.41]Begged if I could kick it so
[00:44.27]When he went out with girls I could go taggin along
[00:47.08]Naggin if she had a sis maybe could mack a baby hoodrat
[00:50.07]Y'all remember way back then when it was 1985
[00:53.96]All the way live I think I was about ten
[00:57.53]One of those happy little niggaz singin the blues

[01:02.66]Sayin yo momma black his momma thi his momma that
[01:05.16]Then he get mad and wanna scrap
[01:07.11]We stay mad about ten minutes then it's like back on the bike
[01:11.16]To play hide and go get it with the younger hoes by the bungaloes
[01:15.47]Then switch to playin ding dong ditch when that gets
[01:19.22]Old and too cold to hack it threw on a bomber jacket
[01:23.40]You could tell the ballers cuz they bell wearin Gazelles
[01:26.27]And if they really had money raised be sportin BK's
[01:28.72]And all the girls had they turkish link
[01:30.33]If it broke then they made earrings to it like they meant to do it
[01:33.90]But sometimes I still sit and reminesce
[01:35.89]Then think about the years I was raised back in the days
[01:39.34]Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
[01:42.52]But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
