Lyrics

I wake up and thank God that I'm able
To live my dreams, ain't forgot where I came from
So many people that we lost, too many brothers gettin' shot
Things ain't like they used to be
Back in the day, life was video games
Playin' in the rain, let the sun shine on my face
Didn't bother with the news, only cared about my shoes
Hit the snooze, got nothing else to do
I remember startin' school in September
Playin' ball till the fall in November
In the winter, snow days in December
Lord, I would be young forever
Back in the day, when we was young and used to play
Back in the day, when we never had to worry about a thing
Back in the day, never thought that I would say
Back in the day, remember the good old days
Back in the day, when we was young and used to play
Back in the day, when we never had to worry about a thing
Back in the day, never thought that I would say
Back in the day, remember the good old days
I reminisce about the times that I miss
Being a kid, waiting for my mother's kiss
Scary nights, I would sleep inside her arms
With her love, the world could do no harm
When you're young, life is so easy
Innocent, before we all greeted
Never had to pay a bill, all we had to do was chill
And watch the time fly away
Fly away, fly away, fly away
Now I'm grown up, I got my own family
Oh my son, I wonder what you're gonna be
Enjoy this time every day, cause one day you will say
Remember back in the day
Back in the day, when we was young and used to play
Back in the day, when we never had to worry about a thing
Back in the day, never thought that I would say
Back in the day, remember the good old days
Back in the day, when we was young and used to play
Back in the day, when we never had to worry about a thing
Back in the day, never thought that I would say
Back in the day, remember the good old days
