Back In The Day

This beat makes me reminisce
Takes me back to our first kiss
Carved our names on a big oak tree
I heart you and you heart me
New Edition on the radio
I had a Commodore 64
We used to sit close on my bedroom floor
But mama never let us close the door

We used to hang outside until the lights came on
Thought i was fresh to def with my Adidas on
You kissed me on the cheek, I had a silly smile on
Where has the time gone

I loved you since Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a jeri curl, momma said no
That's how long I've loved you
Remember when I used to have a high top fade
Back when you used to rock the dookie braids
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I've loved you since back in the day

Everyday after school
I'd pop you'd lock, we'd act a fool
I was at your house, or you were at mine
Cosby Show at 8, A Different World at 9
Remember Motown 25
Michael moonwalked for the very first time
I'd meet you at the rink on Friday night
We'd rock, we'd skate, hold hands real tight

Girl you would look so cute with your Jordache on
Bet that you could still put them same jeans on
Kiss me now and I'll have that silly smile on
Girl you still turn me on

I loved you since Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a jeri curl, momma said no
That's how long I've loved you
Remember when I used to have a high top fade
Back when you used to rock the dookie braids
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I've loved you since back in the day

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you
Without an old school jam to step to
Remember when we’d do the whop
The whole crowd drop, do the robo cop
Go girl do the cabbage patch
Jam Master Jay killing on the scratch
Members Only, Kid and Play
That's how we did back in the day.... raaah!

Since Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Thunder cats, Ho
Back when MTV played music videos
You told me get a jeri curl, momma said no
That's how long I've loved you
Remember when I used to have a high top fade
Back when you used to rock the dookie braids
Friendship bracelets in the 8th grade
I've loved you since back in the day

Party, There's a party over here, Party, There's a party over there
Party, There's a party over here…
