2007 Lyrics by Marcus Smith

Milky Way Lover EP

0

[Chorus]
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
[Verse 1]
Back in the days when I was a teenager
I used to pilfer product from the stores in my neighbor
Hood, I used to think shit was all good
Til the past caught my ass like Clint Eastwood
I, Kept to mysеlf, kept my head in a screen
It seemed, I was a ghost on thе high school scene
I would coast to Kick Push, with kicks unclean
Watching Snick on Nick, bowls of Kix and ice cream
Ahh..and I was somewhat of an outcast
Me and JK tryna be just like Outkast
Looking back like damn, the time passed so fast
Adulthood stank like an unwashed fat ass
Completely reckless, shit we did was super dangerous
Stupid games and shit, we used to drive around aimless, its
Sneaking out the house just to go and play Halo
I was fucking terrible, they still let me play tho
Nights at Jammin Java all the Monster I could drink
Thinking back might be the reason why I can’t sleep
I’m almost 30 and its still setting in
This mindset I’m in, got me still questioning, like
Whatever happened to predictability
Whatever happened to the chasing of my dreams
I think we all should just max and relax
Let me hop in a Delorean to take me right back
[Chorus]
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
[Verse 2]
I asked this girl…
"Do you like Mike & Ike’s? Cuz I like Mike & Ike’s"
I got super nervous and then
I said, something like...
”I like you, do you like like me back
I got a Lite Brite and I wipe mics I’m the Like Mike of rap
I kickball like white lightning, I’d say I’m bad
Like Mike in 87 pre White Mike in a mask
I’m, alright, why do you ask"
I talk wry and made her laugh
Then I woke up from my fantasy, drooling in my class
DAG! Dripping sweat like I just got out the swimming pool
If you met me then, you probably wouldn’t think I’m cool
I gotta say this, but you know it if you knew me
Back in high school me and Jean Kong was riding in my hooptie
Looseleaf and Bic pens scattered on the bedroom floor
When I was tryna be the very best like no one ever did before
Yes, that's a Pokemon reference, and just for reverence
Evidence of my elegance mastering the elements
Tell 'em it’s Marcus Smith, inevitable like Thanos
When I’m snapping the track they say dammit that man is hellish
I used to be hesitant but now I’m simply eloquent
Doing this for half of my life, I’m black excellence
Whatever happened to-- fuck it I’m unpredictable
You can be analytical, metaphors metaphysical
I just crank my shit up to 11
Reminisce about the days when we were young and inimitable
[Chorus]
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
Take me back to those days
Never play safe
We used to run around till the cops came
Back then I was so carefree
Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
