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
