Back In Da Days - DaForce

Back in da 80's wit my friend amarie

If we ain’t on tha streets, we playin Atari

Looking out da window as the wind blows

And we didn’t know it can’t last 4 ever

The rockers verse the breakers loved tha lakers

Prep kids and all the jocks

Remembered when willis intialed his sox

Wouldn’t leave home without a box

Jackson and jagger in a state of shock

Spencer 4 hire and a man called hawk

Herbie Hancock and planet rock

Can’t forget Madonna and a man named prince

And the 1st time i heard parliment

Krs1 was tha man 2 be, feeling rakim & eric B

And 2 short and mr T every little kid though he was bruce lee

Back in da days

Rap

It was different strokes, and different hopes

Watching good times and trying to cope

Many kids i knew died on the court

Didn’t know nothing bout life support

Anty told me yo stay inside

Cuz kids out hare have no love in dare eyes

Remember rick james, then all the hits came

All dese little kids on da streets dey got game

Get a l’il dollars from da older girls

But right behind em was guys wit jerry curls

100 dollar kango, look how he stand yo

Peep his neck and how his jewelry dango

Remember star wars, remember rocky dares no tomorrow

Sista sledge, pointer sista’s da dance be neutron in da boroughs

I can feel it like phil, remember breaking to sugar hill

Back in da days

Rap

Every little baller thought he was magic johnson

Especially my friend philly thompson

We all said nonsence

And all dem old days won’t come round again

From a boy 2 a man 2 a gentleman

Worldclass middle man

Balling my head like haglar

On da 1, 2's made you stagga

Street kids, wit street names, and street fame

Street pain, Run da streets wit nick names

Dey switch lanes, dey run cain, dey jump train

Not sure if dey’ll come back again

But dose was da ole days

Thought i’d be singing like da ojays

Putting da ball in da hoops like MJ

Kick you in your head like bad news brown and sensai

Back in da days

Rap

That’s how it was in my world as a kid

Do as you do and this is wat i did

Reflections, made connections

Transformed 2 a mic and a brass section

Yes yes yall, wit a les paul

1 strike blows like my name is segal

1 strike swoop like an eagle play your position

Immitating in a mirroir and wishing, wit no compition

Listen.

str8 up missin

All dem rap cats in da early days.

Play dey records over for days

Bring it back, flip it, switch it many ways

Turn it over, mix it, add a little bass

Dat time was da time, da time of your life

Dat time of tha night, dat time’s feeling right

Some sticks and a fight, if it ain’t right

Back in da days
