ogden payne - back in the day lyrics

[intro]

verse 1:
i’m rolling, i’m rolling, reminiscing got me rolling
i’m trying to live in the moment, but hey check out this story
i remember it was like the first day of school
and i had the over-sized shirt with the pants down to my ankles
i thought it was so cool
and i had the nikes all black with the hat to match, swear i was feeling it
but i was like four foot ten and ninety pounds so ain’t n0body gonna take me seriously
but i still
walked through them halls like “what? who want it with the boss?”
thought i was a hot shot, but when the girls came around
it would all stop
because in the eighth grade i had this boo thing i was trying to be with for my life
and make her my wife, and i was like thirteen
but she ended up breaking my heart
swear i was a lost cause
i used to fall for the girls so hard but that ain’t changed at all
but oh well
you win some, you learn some, i heard once
that you gonna smile and you gonna hurt some
but them memories gonna be worth something
i got it

hook:
back in the day
i had it made
i would do anything
i wish that i could go back
i wouldn’t change
i’d be the same
and i’d keep running game
my life just flew by too fast
back in the day
i had it made
i would do anything
i wish that i could go back
i wouldn’t change
i’d be the same
and i’d keep running game
my life just flew by too fast

verse 2:
i remember this one time, one time
i tried to sell a little something something on the side
then my friend got caught like the very next day man since
then i ain’t ever tried
i ain’t never died, but i almost did
it was on a trip back in new york
some stuff went down, i ain’t really proud
it’s something that the parents don’t know
i guess till now, but i ain’t tripping, never been ashamed
of the life i’m living
cause i know one day this gonna be something i tell my children
like the ’99 corolla was my very first car
and every other week i thought that thing would fall apart
so i put a lot of love in it
and i got a lot of love in it
but i wish i could go back again to take it out for one last
spin
but life just keeps on happening
it hasn’t been the same ever since, but i still reminisce, my god

verse 3:
you remember when going to the mall meant something?
spending hours walking around
and still ain’t leave when it all closed down
running around acting a fool
and pops gave me like 20 dollars for food
that i would spend on stupid luxuries
and still for some reason wonder why i was so hungry
like yo, the money management part of my life was so nonexistent
and if you dated someone from another school you considered that long distance
even if it’s in your district, only like 15 minutes away
it’s crazy for me to say, “yo, remember back in the day?”

okay, some people graduate
some people stay, some move away
some people wait, some people really go out there and try and get it
so what you gonna do pimpin’?
i mean the ball is in your court so what you gonna do with it?
i hope you’re cool with it
