Walkin' to the record shop
Never let the music stop
Cuttin' up and throwin' dozens
Hangin' with my crew of cousins
We would dream our lives away
Endless summers, nights, and days
Soon enough the dream was over
Stuck in gray October
We would be forever haunted
Having everything we ever wanted
Things were better Momma said
When we did it back in the day
'Cause we didn't need no bread
When we did it back in the day
In the park the kids could play
We was living back in the day
Skinnin' and grinnin' and
Skinnin' and grinnin' and
Skinnin' and grinnin' and
Skinnin' and grinnin' and
Skinnin' and grinnin' and
Skinnin' and grinnin'
Come on, it was back in the day
Parties in a funky basement
Smoke up, drink, and get some play
Things would never be so free
No responsibility
Life was easy, don't you know
Tuning in the AM station
Sly was on the radio
Never saw the future comin'
Having all the things we ever wanted
Things were better Momma said
When we did it back in the day
'Cause we didn't need no bread
When we did it back in the day
In the park, the kids could play
We was living back in the day
Things were better Momma said
When we did it back in the day
Skinnin' and grinnin'...
Yep, that's us
