It's summertime, it's so hot
|
I'm wearing shorts a tank top and flip flops
|
I see birds flying in the blue sky
|
And marshmallow clouds floatin' by
|
School's out so it's the weekend everyday
|
From sun-up to sun-down in the hood we play
|
Our block party's jammin off the chain
|
We're lined up dancin' like we're on soul train
|
The live band sounds so good to me
|
With Derrick thumpin the bass
|
And Todd ticklin keys
|
Laron and Pat both droppin the beat
|
While Meshun and his boys supply the harmony
|
I wish this day didn't have to end
|
But 2morrow will come and we'll do it again
|
|
[chorus]
|
Let's take it back to the ol' days
|
When Mamma jammed to the OJay's
|
While cookin' breakfast on a Saturday
|
Those were the good ol' days
|
|
Let's take it back to the ol' days
|
When Daddy barbequed on Sunday
|
And Livin' life was just so easy
|
Those were the good ol' days
|
|
I still like fresh sweats, dreads and adidas
|
Boy, I only smiled just
|
2 let you know I see ya
|
I was the kinda girl
|
Who liked all the bad boys
|
When I was young
|
I lived for the fun and the
|
Joy my life brought, then
|
Life, was so carefree
|
And now that I'm grown
|
I wish I could go back to when
|
We would play hide and seek
|
Watch Schoolhouse Rock on tv
|
Fat Albert and Prince were my two favorite things
|
And "My Adidas" by Run DMC
|
|
Na'mean,
|
We're takin it back y'all
|
2 the place
|
When the cabbage patch rocked y'all
|
And the year
|
Was 1985 y'all
|
So go back in time with me
|
|
[chorus]
