Way Back

Intro

Verse 1

Let me take you back a couple of years
To when I used to be a mouth on roads
In the council homes and the money was an issue
Always jealous of the people in the houses yo
But its where I'm from
Still thinking bout the days when I used to be amazed
When the sun comes out
Pushing pennies in arcades where we used to spend our days
Steady kick it till the funds run out
And we used to hit the woods for the bike rides
3 brothers chilling in the hood call us wise guys
We were tight like the stars at night through the strife
If you asked they would both say likewise
And that's how I came up
Never thinking bout how far my fame was
I was playing with neighbours. Brand new trainers
Episodes of power rangers
And still I can remeber the first one
As if it happened only yesterday
Cause every kid was sitting in their building just amazed
And you could even hear the jaw drops escalate
Running back to the playground to lay down
Which colour ranger you'd be when you played out
And I was red till the story progressed
And the green came out
Guess its time for a change now
And I figure getting bigger was the realest way to feel this and I'd
never say it doesn't have its pros
But the booth is the truth so I'd never play it cool
Man I miss being 10 years old
Reminiscing bout the days when I used to be like 5' flat
In a White Nike hat take a trip just for the bike ride back
Lemme think about a life like that
And that's why I rap

Hook

Cause I been thinking bout the "days"
When I used to drift "away"
Reminiscing bout a "place"
Where we used to be free
(When we used to be like 4'3"
And make whole heap of ruckus on streets
Playing music on an old LP
I'm talking prior to released CDs
And anybody dreamt of MP3s)

Verse 2

I remember leaving earth for Joy
Whenever Skeletor was beat and had his evil foiled
And if you ever put your fingers on my Turtles toys
I'd have to hurt you boy
Play every day cause the work annoys
And there was no point neither
Head up in the clouds, little 5 foot dreamer
I was gonna find Magic Shoes like Stanley
And everyone would think I'm the man like he was
Piss a day away on Marios Bros
Watching the 2D graphics grabbing on the plastic controls
And when I finally felt I could leave Nintendo alone
I'd be in the living room watching Super Marios show
Ha
And if any of the references aint really making sense
Then I suggest that you just don't mention it
And we can stay like the best of friends
And put away any incidents
It's
just highlights, of my life
Friends stick together till the end like white rice
But the days drift away like the dock of a bay
So what else can I say but bye bye
I'm so happy I can rap on a track
With the verbal ability to go back reenact
How I used to be the boy with the pack and the plaits
And the schoolboy grin in the black Adidas
Younger pictures of me seem to be a stranger
Somebody innocent growing to be me later
Now I'm dealing with girls when it used to be
Cheetarah or rather the yellow ranger
Reminiscing bout the days when I used to be like 5' flat
In a White Nike hat take a trip just for the bike ride back
Lemme think about a life like that
And that's why I rap

Verse 3

I remember when I used to play out and my mother told me don't get any dirt on those jeans
And I cut em all up tryna climb a damn tree man she really put the hurting on me
And the time when those boys stole my best friends bike and I froze in my tracks remember
And they both rode off
Though its all over
Man I wish I could have backed you better
And the girls that used to bully me
It couldn't be possibly cause you wanted to get me a lil closer
Or the brothers that were jealous of intelligence
Wouldn't see that as relevant when pushing Double over
I would never try to say it was all gravay couldn't always be peaches and cream
But it feels like a dream
Cause the years can compare to the love that I feel in the scene
From the fans I mean
And I'm glad I could see myself develop to a man like me
That could make my brother proud
And could help my mother out give her half of a grand like E
Z it aint nothing to think about
Money is simple now
Something to grin about
And its a joke that I could hop on a plane and bounce
Used to watch Dangermouse
Everythings changing now
But Ima take a little minute reminiscing bout the kid who used to bunk off school
From the football games in the broad daylight
To the Friday nights watching junk on 2
Reminiscing bout the days when I used to be like 5' flat
In a White Nike hat take a trip just for the bike ride back
Lemme think about a life like that
And that's why I rap
