Back in the Days (feat. David Ryan)

Before the great recession and my adolescence Nothin was hectic life was nice it was so pleasant I'm talkin' back in the days of candy cigarettes and whoopie cushions Razor scooters were the vehicles that we were pushin' Nice days, we were tearin' up the streets Life was so complete down at Koopa Troopa beach Back when Diddy had the nickname Puffy We were cruising down the streets drag racing in Huffys And then we'd upgrade to jerseys in 5th grade We felt obligated paper routes were our compensation No salaries, nine to fives or pensions All we had to worry bout was after school detention As I look back and reminisce I realize that life was the shit when we were kids So when you're feelin' down and you gettin' stressed Remember life as a kid it was simply the best Back in the days, back back in the days Before I had a dream that I'd be rockin' a stage Before I ever knew about an hourly wage We were livin' for us, no one could take it away Back in the days, back back in the days Before I had a dream that I'd be rockin' a stage Before I ever knew about an hourly wage We were livin' for us, no one could take it away Now I'm in the ninth grade, just a mere freshman My boy was sittin' next to me, had a sincere question Yo, Have you ever tried beer or smoked weed A senior that's a friend of a friend said it appeases stresses I figured they just told him that so they could keep him guessin It hadn't dawned on me we were dealin' with peer pressure He said Friday - let's hit a soirée I started laughing thinking it would be cool to party with upperclassmen He said "come on bro you can't be lame There'll be plenty of chicks and they'll be playing drinking games And just think you play your cards right you might get laid That was it right there my decision was made So then we went to the spot A couple hours passed Things were moving slowly something like an hour glass I had a couple of drinks took a couple of puffs Thinking I like to party man I can't get enough Back in the days, back back in the days Before I had a dream that I'd be rockin' a stage Before I ever knew about an hourly wage We were livin' for us, no one could take it away Back in the days, back back in the days Before I had a dream that I'd be rockin' a stage Before I ever knew about an hourly wage We were livin' for us, no one could take it away away Back back in the days Back back in the days Back back in the days Back back in the days Back back in the days Back back in the days No one could take it away No one could take it away We were livin’ for us no one could take it away Back back in the days Back back in the fuck
