Ahmad - Back In The Day

Ahmad - Back In The Day 1994

Chorus: repeat 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
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
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

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?) (back in the day)

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
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
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?) (back in the day)

(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?) (back in the day)

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
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

(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?) (back in the day)

(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?) (back in the day)

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...

Thumbs up if you're a 90's kid. By far the best decade of the last century. The Cold War was over, the cartoons we're cooler, the Internet was becoming available to the public, America was the big boss of the world, and things we're much simpler than now.

Looks like another Love T.K.O.

[GatorMan32]

i remember chilling to this song with my boys. now its like damn it hits home too much about times that were damn near 20 years ago in the early 90's. miss those times. shout out to my boys even if i havent spoken to you all in years.

[MissLeoBabyy]

born in 90 & i feel this song 100%. not sayin i'ma OG, but i'm gettin older..i didn't think life would be this hard. it has it's perks of bein older, such as pink hair, tattoos, and no curfew, but damn no one told me we only make money to pay bills :/ "wish all i had to do was finish homework"

[3DSiXLite]

@BenHopkins1000

SO true man

[Mr47Kane]

I miss you!... Regardless of what happened... You know who you are!

[DJBIGCG]

I love old school music

[23v0lv32]

I was born in 1982. Late 70's early 80's were BY FAR AND AWAY the best years to be born. The only era that would come close would to be born late 30's early 40's or late 1890's early 00's. It would be fucking sick to be in your 20's during the 20's ha

[hellokittycutie2003]

'88 baby...90s kid!!!

[bangerz0]
