Wishing we could stay back in the day
When all our troubles seemed so far away
Memories like these will never fadeFrom way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
And even nowadays when we′re far from home
Still the greatest places we've ever known
Memories will stay long after you′re grown
Of way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Sleepy eyes Saturday morning before I opened the door
Corn flakes with sugar poured cartoons watched from the floor
X-Men, Power rangers with the flip heads
The hulk and Spiderman Kingpin never stood a chance
Real life ninja turtles doing hand stands Nicko raph, Bone Don, Me Leo 2 sticks in my hand
Holla out cowabunga now do the turtle dance
If you didnt come up in the pink house you wouldn't understand
After it end we go outside and practice moves we just saw
Handsprings cartwheels the occasional round off landings perfected fast
Try not to fall on our ass cause you be itchin for a week we was allergic to grass
Backflips on old mattresses no hands I was a beast
But Maurice the only who could do it on concrete
Play for hours till the street lights flicker then sprint in the crib
They on before you in that's an ass whippin
Wishing we could stay back in the day
When all our troubles seemed so far away
Memories like these will never fade
From way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
And even nowadays when we′re far from home
Still the greatest places we′ve ever known
Memories will stay long after you're grown
Of way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
My tale entails pretty smiles and cotton candy smells reminisce
My first kiss feel like handled it well
Behind the bushes closed our eyes until the grown up deed was done
I was 12 but had her stunned cuz I could kiss with my tongue
I wonder how she doin now our encounters were brief
I was there for the summer she moved the following week
Save me swimma wit Pricilla catch her keep her with anitha simon says with Inez
But used to play House with Keisha cartoon tag red light green light
Hide and seek sis would cheat she used to post up where base is
Sword fights, slap boxing, infinite foot races
Do you like me letters and girls with friendship bracelets
Time machines and spaceships to escape
I wish if I could I would go back and visit days like this
Times we miss nowadays just sit back and reminisce like shit
Wait wait wait do you remember this
Wishing we could stay back in the day
When all our troubles seemed so far away
Memories like these will never fade
From way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
And even nowadays when we′re far from home
Still the greatest places we've ever known
Memories will stay long after you′re grown
Of way back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
