[Chicano2078]

I remember first hearing this jam in 2005 when me and my older friend Manuel and sum other friends would listen to this song and other ones he had on his X-box. R.I.P. Manuel Michael Rodriguez Jr. 1987-2006 Gone but not forgotten.

[decevioj]

GO C DECEVIO AND NEW WEST ORDER ON YOUTUBE 2012 2013

[thug4life2005]

I remember when this song came out i was 16 years old and it was a good song. Now at the age of 33 when i listen to it now i do reminisce about the days i was was a kid and a teenager not a care in the world didn't have problems we do now in the world. It was a awesome time to be a kid and a teenager back then, wish i could go back to them times the only sad part would be that i wouldn't have my lovely wife and my 4 wonderful boys. The 80's and 90's was the greatest era's ever for me.

[reganko]

can someone explain the pharcyde connection to me? i just read on wikipedia that ahmad's vocal style was "reminiscent" of fatlip from pharcyde. is that the only connection between the two?

[mostlynoble]

I hated this song in high school, and I still hate it. I never saw what the appeal was...

[dansmokesalot]

@mostlynoble SO Y COME AND LISTEN AND THEN BITCH"COMMENT"

[mostlynoble]

@dansmokesalot My point was I thought I might like the song 20 years later because of the memories and and the feelings, but that didn't happen. So if your comment makes you feel better then you are right.

[peyotefinder69]

Still listening to this in 2010, real shit.

[randomsnapbackvideos]

@peyotefinder69 it's 2012 but i bet you new that

[benjaminfloman24]

@peyotefinder69

exactly! God only gets better

[benjaminfloman24]

@benjaminfloman24

That's good, not god

[KidKapamTv]

Check out my music 14 years old real lyrics check me out it would really help, thanks!

[howardg93]

The few people that voted thumbs down i don't know what they thinking.

[howardg93]

when i hear this i forever think about 1992 and 1993 damn!!!!!

[benjaminfloman24]

@howardg93

yessir!



[pinkist22]

Classic 90's. Like my comment if you still play this in 2012~

[SBrandon562]

@pinkist22 Dude, i'm a 90's kid. Born in '89, I miss this type of shit, Music now is pure garbage. I kind of feel bad bad insulting trash like that.

[benjaminfloman24]

@SBrandon562

haha... dude, you were like 2 when this came out!

[SBrandon562]

@benjaminfloman24 How do you figure that? If im correct this song came out in '94 which would make me 5-6 at the time that it came out. How old are you if you dont mind me asking? I've been listening to this song and this type of music since I was old enough to listen to music and understand it. So i dont see the point in your comment. All I see is something that is trying to tell me I was young (which isnt very accurate of an age range anyway). So please explain your point plz

[SBrandon562]

God, I miss the days when music was good. Fuck these little shit heads that are making garbage these days.

[MegaKid2fly]

@SBrandon562 i agree with you like little posers think its all about techno and fagget music!

[SBrandon562]

@MegaKid2fly Yeah no doubt. Can't stand that trash. It's like nails on a chalk board!

[cccrrreeeaaatttzzaaa]

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

Ahmad - Back In The Day 1994 Chorus 4X 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 Verse One: I remember (back in the days) 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

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

One of those happy little niggaz singin the blues

That be always tryin to bag with the shag and karate shoes

Sayin "Yo momma 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

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

You could tell the ballers cuz they bell wearin Gazelles

And if they really had money raised be sportin BK's

and, all the girls had they turkish link

If it broke then they made earrings 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

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

Verse Two:

I'm 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 blown up

No doubt I couldn't wait to get out (and be a grownup)

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

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

And it don't stop, I'm glad cuz 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 airbrushed on they asses

Dudes, had on Nike suits, and the Pumas with

the fat laces, cuz it was either that or K-Swiss

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

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 another sad song, but

Sometimes I do sit and reminesce then

Think about the years I was raised, back in the days

Chorus(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?)

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

Verse Three: Well, it's the niggerole, I figure 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 you steady bobbin your 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

[spaghettiwesternLUVA]

Yup, we said that we was gonna make it since a kid and we finally did, but Sometimes I still sit and reminence then Think about the years I was raised, back in the days Chorus 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 *talking* I got jacked for mines You sound like a white dude "Hey I got jacked for mines!" Aight, aight...

[mavler1]

I'm only 18 and I wish I was 10 again... This is a good reminder when times were simpler and how much fun it was

[vexturbo1]

The 90s were the ish. I know everyone says 'there' era was the best, but the 90s were definitely special. Rap was still real, even some of the radio stuff. Dont get me wrong, there's still talent out there, just not as many people wanting to express it. Be yourself.

[trina010pisces]

I wish i could go back to 010 my senior year of high skool classic

[tmac29nyc]

[tellingTruths99]

[rickthereckless]
