Back in da days Lyrics by Daforce

Urban Poetry

2013

Back in da days

Rap

Back in da 80's wit my friend amarie
If we ain't on tha streets , we playin Atari
Looking out da window as the wind blows
And we didn't know it can't last 4 ever
The rockers verse the breakers loved tha lakers
Prep kids and all the jocks
Remembered when willis intialed his sox
Wouldn't leave home without a box
Jackson and jagger in a state of shock
Spencer 4 hire and a man called hawk
Herbie Hancock and planet rock
Can't forget Madonna and a man named prince
And the 1st time i heard parliment
Krs1 was tha man 2 be , feeling rakim & eric B
And 2 short and mr T every little kid though he was bruce lee

Chorus

Back in da days

Rap

It was different strokes , and different hopes
Watching good times and trying to cope
Many kids i knew died on the court
Didn't know nothing bout life support
Anty told me yo stay inside
Cuz kids out hare have no love in dare eyes
Remember rick james , then all the hits came
All dese little kids on da streets dey got game
Get a l'il dollars from da older girls
But right behind em was guys wit jerry curls
100 dollar kango , look how he stand yo
Peep his neck and how his jewelry dango
Remember star wars , remember rocky dares no tomorrow
Sista sledge , pointer sista's da dance be neutron in da boroughs
I can feel it like phil , remember breaking to sugar hill

Chorus

Back in da days

Rap

Every little baller thought he was magic johnson
Especially my friend philly thompson
We all said nonsence
And all dem old days won't come round again
From a boy 2 a man 2 a gentleman
Worldclass middle man
Balling my head like haglar
On da 1 , 2's made you stagga
Street kids , wit street names , and street fame
Street pain , Run da streets wit nick names
Dey switch lanes , dey run cain , dey jump train
Not sure if dey'll come back again
But dose was da ole days
Thought i'd be singing like da ojays
Putting da ball in da hoops like MJ
Kick you in your head like bad news brown and sensai

Chorus

Back in da days

Rap

That's how it was in my world as a kid
Do as you do and this is wat i did
Reflections , made connections
Transformed 2 a mic and a brass section
Yes yes yall, wit a les paul
1 strike blows like my name is segal
1 strike swoop like an eagle play your position
Immitating in a mirroir and wishing, wit no compition
Listen .. str8 up missin
All dem rap cats in da early days..
Play dey records over for days
Bring it back , flip it , switch it many ways
Turn it over , mix it , add a little bass
Dat time was da time , da time of your life
Dat time of tha night , dat time's feeling right
Some sticks and a fight , if it ain't right

Chorus

Back in da days
