Those Were The Days
(专辑: Public Warning - 2006)
We used to play jump the
line, Or who could wrap the
swing around the
frame the
most times, back in the
day, Riding our bike around the
estate and playing basketball in the
cage, those were the
days, I
remember them water fights, the
tap outside, Used to race our bikes, Grinning with two front teeth missing we did what we liked, Those days I'm missing, those days were alright, Knock down ginger, Knock knock then shift, Two minute later we got locked in the
lift, Laughin when we got out, Got into silly arguements about who found the
pound on the
ground, Bopped to the
shops bought about ten ice pops, The
weather was hot so they melted in our pockets, Used to carry my belongings in them McDonalds bumbags, That was back then so boy don't mock it. [Chorus] Yeah Yeah Yo, those were the
days I
will never forget Yeah Yeah Yo, those were the
days I
could never regret, Yeah Yeah, Yo, those were the
days I
will never forget Yeah Yeah, Those were the
days. Used to race down the
hill in old Safeway trolleys, I
wasn't indoors playing with Barbies or dollies, I
was outside jumping off walls or playing foot ball, Or getting chased by the
local pitbull, The
odd character that every borough had, Mad Phillip, Gingerbeard or Mad Max, The
face you wouldn't wanna see when you're on your jacks, In the
places you wouldn't be in if you stuck to your packs, Stayed out till it was pitch black, Sprayed my name out on concrete slabs, And I
never got bitch-slapped, Seen a
couple of mans get stabbed, Been chased by the
mad man, Gotta get back so i
can.. Catch a
joke with my next door neightbour, We played the
first Mortal Kombat on the
Sega, Playing the
lastest jungle tunes we had on cassette, Those were the
days I
will never forget [Chorus] Remember naf naf jackets and spliffy jeans, Adidas campus them things were in, It wasn't about the
king of the
bling, It was about the
king of rim or the
king of the
swing, Back then well I
kinda had less, But less was much better coz it saved alot of stress, I
hung out in Coffers community centre, Now they've knocked it down and replaced it with an Asda, My parents way of telling us to get our backs in, Was them sounding some old fucking claxon, We soldier marched back up to Redcliffe walk, Chalkhill Estate don't exist no more it's just talk. [Chorus]
