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
