Good Ol' Days Lyrics

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]
