Lyrics

[Intro: Jeswon & Tuka] Lemme bring you back, I bring you back right now I bring you back, sit your ass right down I bring you back, lemme bring you back right now For you [Verse 1: Tuka] No one could settle disputes in my terrible twos To tell the truth I wouldn't even level witchu Indeed, me, me, me was a general rule Mum was like, "Please, I need sleep, I'm beggin' you, dude" She'd do anything to get me to snooze Fed me alphabet soup or vegetable stew Inedible goop, you can bet I refused 'Cause the spew was inevitable, yeah And while dad was watchin' Rocky films Picture me wit' a box of buildin' blocks, slobberin' on orange peels Schemin', what's the deal? Need my bottle filled, I'd speak to Dr. Phil But I couldn't reach the hospital till chickenpox got me ill And you can bet I got lots of thrills Popsicles, lollipops all up in this toddlers grills Redskins were rocket fuel; Milko's were optional You could buy a Python for less than a dollar bill [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) [Verse 2: Jeswon] Before your internet bandwidth, I was on the block Tryna be the best baddest BMX bandit Ridin' no handed, tryna chuck a wheelie Vibin', hopin' that the fuzz didn't see me Mums was a genie, whippin' up the illest food (Ye-huh) But she would never let us eat it in the living room We spent summers in the next door swimmin' pool Dive bombin' suckers like, "Move! [?] gimme room" Playin' cricket in the driveway But if you scratched dad's whip, you were bound to catch a tirade (Ah shit) Me and my mates flippin' off the neighbourhood jocks We had it locked like the Neighbourhood Watch But nowadays the neighbourhood's hot, kids dump a couple of pills Shit, I was trill with a Bubble O' Bill A bag of marbles, fans of the monkey magic You couldn't imagine all the fun we had, we take it [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) [Verse 3: Tuka] Ninja Turtles was the bomb and Shredder was the shit Little Athletics hit a hundred-meter sprint Scooby was the dude, and we were droppin' Bomberman Mortal Kombat, FIFA Soccer was the jam, Shaq Was the man in the picture sittin' on my mantlepiece (yeah, yeah) With a couple 411 magazines, yo Kickies in the cardboard, ollies over Coke cans Ridin' 'round the block mad stoked to have no plans [Verse 4: Jeswon] As a kid after school, this is how we might do (Tell 'em) Buzzin' with my cousin playin' Street Fighter 2 (Yeah) With the shell suits and undercut, some sported mullets (Suckers) Basketball trading cards, Jordan was wanted Jorski was blunted, but we never watched M*A*S*H Mike Jack's "Thriller" clip had the city on smash Bill Murray Ghostbustin', Indiana Jones and WWF reppin' Hulk Hogan [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) Back in the day I was happy to say That I loved getting carried away Back in the day (Back, back in the day) Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y'all) [Scratches: DJ Morgs] "I remember I was just—just like you" "Back in the days" "I remember I was just—just like you" "Smokin' blunts w-" "Back in— Back in— Back in— Back in the days"
