Back in the Day - Jawga Boyz

Hah, it’s ya boy d-thrash

I just wanna let y’all know a little bit

Bout how I grew up

I used to trade baseball cards back in the day

Camp out in the back yard back in the day

Cut a few trails in the woods back in the day

And did things that they never said I could

I used to make prank calls back in the day

Try to race my dogs back in the day

Play tackle football back in the day

And I’ll always be that kid y’all

Grew up out in Jackson county

Jefferson River road is where ya found me

Yeah we used to ride up and down that road like we owned it

'Cause we really did back then

And my friends used to stop by all the time

If they see me in the yard outside

Never had a reason really just came to kick it

And talk about how the cops gave us tickets

I miss it, everybody does I guess

'Cause there was less stress in the life I lived

And now people wanna know more about me

Cuz they see me on TV, well…

I used to trade baseball cards back in the day

Camp out in the back yard back in the day

Cut a few trails in the woods back in the day

And did things that they never said I could

I used to make prank calls back in the day

Try to race my dogs back in the day

Play tackle football back in the day

And I’ll always be that kid y’all

17 years old, I graduated high school as a young soul

But still lived at home, might as have been kicked out

'Cause high school never taught me about

How this world is gonna step all over your face

And crush every dream that you try to put in place

They need to teach a new class

And call it how the real world is gonna kick your ass

And then maybe I coulda been more prepared

And aware that everyday life ain’t fair

'Cause there was a time when I didn’t even know

And life was slow, yeah

I used to trade baseball cards back in the day

Camp out in the back yard back in the day

Cut a few trails in the woods back in the day

And did things that they never said I could

I used to make prank calls back in the day

Try to race my dogs back in the day

Play tackle football back in the day

And I’ll always be that kid y’all

Yeah everything’s changed

My life as a kid’s gone in the wind

And most of my friends never seen 'em again

And that street that I used to live on is dead

I still visit there and drive threw real slow

Thinking bout my grandma living up the road

Fixing me and all my friends ice cream cones

And nobody had a damn cell phone

We could do what we wanted and stay out late

Didn’t have to worry like kids do today

Used to ride my bike all over the place

Making noise on the spokes with styrophome plates

Yeah, it was all good

Jackson county treated me good too

I still press rewind in my mind

And go back in time when…

I used to trade baseball cards back in the day

Camp out in the back yard back in the day

Cut a few trails in the woods back in the day

And did things that they never said I could

I used to make prank calls back in the day

Try to race my dogs back in the day

Play tackle football back in the day

And I’ll always be that kid y’all
