Back in the Day

Well it was back in the day
Back in the 1920s
Selling hooch for the gang
Just meant large cash money
Splatter papa glamor, guns and the ledger

Playing while his city burned
Til they found the best way to deal was
Knowing when to say when

[Chorus]
It's never as sweet as when it's not in the open
Special secrets hold such a promise of...
