90's Kid

[Intro]
Yo, I'm tired of all these naughties kids man
Claiming to be 90's kids
Like, just 'cause you were born in the 90's, doesn't make you a 90's kid
I'm a 90's Kid, I know what it was like
You weren't there man, you weren't there

[Verse 1]
Born in the 80's, but raised in the 90's, in front of the TV's the place you would find me
On Saturday mornings channel flicking, between SMTV and Live and Kicking
Back when you used to have to wait for a show, before the advent of Netflix and YouTube
I know every generation says the same thing, but they don't make 'em like they used to
I grew up watching Saved by the Bell, before the cast all had raging hormones
Before Jessie went on to make Showgirls, and before Screech starred in a porno
I was watching Boy Meets World, Mr. Cooper and "Sister, Sister"
And if I remember correctly, the Teenage Mutant Turtles were "Heroes" not "Ninjas"
I feel sorry for the kids today, 'cause they don't know the meaning of real animation
And even though Ghostbusters and Thundercats got remade, they're just cheap imitations
Whatever happened to the real cartoons, like Ren & Stimpy and Captain Planet?
The Rescue Rangers and Bert Raccoon, and dun-dun-dun-dun Inspector Gadget?
Even presenters and mascots were better, gimme Andy Peters or Mr. Blobby
But I'm sorry, when it comes to Jimmy Saville, even back then I could tell he was dodgy
Sometimes I just wanna go back to the days when Will lived with Carlton and Phil Banks
Before Maggie shot Mr. Burns, when Maude was alive and Smithers was still black

[Chorus]
This ones for all of my 90's kids, all my 90's guys and 90's chicks
Who rocked 90's clothes and 90's kicks, watched 90's TV and 90's flicks
This ones for all of my 90's kids, who liked 90's music and 90's hits
And if you weren't born before '96, you don't know what the 1990's is

This ones for all of my 90's kids, all my 90's guys and 90's chicks
Who rocked 90's clothes and 90's kicks, watched 90's TV and 90's flicks
This ones for all of my 90's kids, who liked 90's music and 90's hits
And if you weren't born before '96, you don't know what the 1990's is

[Verse 2]
I'm not a 90's baby or a 90's man, I'm a 90's kid who likes 90's jams
Before you could download tunes to your hard drive, when you had to buy 'em from Woolworth's or Our Price
I was alive in the Golden Era of hip hop, but was too young for it at the time
I'd love to say I was a fan of Biggie and 2Pac, but I wasn't 'till after they died
'Cause I was too young to listen to Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and the Wu Tang Clan
But I was a fan of the Outhere Brothers, Babylon Zoo and that tune Scat Man
I remember in the school discos where Snow Informer was always spinning
Way before we knew what it meant, when we thought (licky, boom boom down) meant rimming
I never drank Alize, had Versace shades or wore Moschino
But you might have seen me with a Panda Pop, in my Naff Co. jacket and Spliffy jeans though
I didn't know about ecstasy, I thought Mitsubishis were a type of car first
'Cause the only sweets I was eating, were Opal Fruits before they were Starburst

[Chorus]
This ones for all of my 90's kids, all my 90's guys and 90's chicks
Who rocked 90's clothes and 90's kicks, watched 90's TV and 90's flicks
This ones for all of my 90's kids, who liked 90's music and 90's hits
And if you weren't born before '96, you don't know what the 1990's is

[Verse 3]
I was a 90's kid and a 90's gamer, back when it was still Nintendo or Sega
Way before PlayStation and Xbox, when your only choice was a plumber or a hedgehog
Back then if you were stuck on a part that you couldn't get past and you needed an answer
You couldn't just go online you had to go and ask Patrick Moore on GamesMaster
Back when toys were meant to be played with, not Ebayed or stored in a basement
Pogs, Boglins, Mighty Max and Monster in my Pocket were just some of my favorites
Ring Raiders and Micro Machines, these were the toys of my generation
And this is also when WWF still stood for World Wrestling Federation
So don't claim you're a 90's kid, if all you are is a 90's baby
'Cause to be a real 90's kid, you need to have be born in the 1980's
But pretty soon the tables will turn and before you know it, I'll be in my forties
And it'll be your turn to write a song, about what it was like growing up in the naughties
But 'till then

[Chorus]
This ones for all of my 90's kids, all my 90's guys and 90's chicks
Who rocked 90's clothes and 90's kicks, watched 90's TV and 90's flicks
This ones for all of my 90's kids, who liked 90's music and 90's hits
And if you weren't born before '96, you don't know what the 1990's is

[Outro]
Yeah, all my real 90's Kids, this one's for you
But to all my non-90's Kids, please don't take offence
I'm just playing around
And to tell you the truth
I'm just jealous how young you lot are
