_ _ _ _ Jerome!
Jerome!
Put on that Bobby Womack!
Nah girl, I wanna go way back.
Aw yeah, check this out.
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid [Db] anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was [Abm] a kid again
[Bbm] Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Back in the days when I was just a [Ebm] little nigger, oh
[Ab] I looked up to my finger, oh, begged if I could kick it
So [Bbm] when he went out with girls I could go tagging [B] a long [Ab] nagging
If she had a sis maybe could mack a babyhood rap
[Bbm] Girl, remember way back then, when it was 1985
All the way live, I think I was about ten
One of those happy little niggas singing the [Ebm] blues
That be always [Ab] trying to bag with the shag and karate [G] shit
Saying, yo mama black, [Ebm] his mama this, his mama that
Then he [Ab] get mad and wanna scrap, we stay mad about
[Bbm] Ten minutes, then it's like back on the bike
To play [Ab] hide and go get it with the younger house
Buy the [Gb] bungalows, then switch to playing ding dong
Ditch when that gets [B] old and [Fm] too cold to hack it
Threw on a bomber [Bb] jacket, you could tell the ballers
Cause they fell wearing gazelles
[Fm] If they really had money [Ab] raised, we sport new taste
[Bb] And all the girls had they Turkish link
If it broke then they made earrings too
Like they meant to do it
But sometimes I still sit and [Ebm] reminisce
Then think [F] about the years I was raised
Back in [Bbm] the days, back in the days
When I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But [Db] some days I sit and wish I [Ab] was a kid again
Back in the days, when I was young [Ebm] I'm not a kid anymore
But [Db] some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
And [Gb] everybody say, I remember way [Eb] back when
And [Db] everybody say, I remember way [Ab] back when
And [Bbm] everybody say, I remember way [Ebm] back when
[Eb] But [Abm] some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
I'm [Bbm] still back in the days, but now the year is [Ab] 87, 88
That's when my crew and I were in junior high
In seventh grade, I hated school
No doubt I couldn't wait to get out and be a grown up
But let me finish this, reminiscing and telling
About when girls were spelling tight corduroys
Like for the boys, basket wings
Nike Cortez and footsie socks
And eating giggles with Tootsie Pops
And it don't stop, I'm [Bbm] glad
Cause when [Ebm] JJ faded to [Ab] personic
It was kinda like a sport to wear biker shorts
Or to wear jeans and it seemed like the masses
Of hoochies had poison airbrushed on they [Bbm] asses
And the best dudes had on Nike suits
And the [Ab] boomers with the fat laces
Cause it was either that or K [Bbm]-Swiss
I miss those days and so I [Abm] pout like a grown jerk
Wishing all I had to do now was finish homework
It's true, you don't realize really what you got
Till it's gone and I'm not gonna sing another sad [Bbm] song
But sometimes I do sit [Ebm] and reminisce
And [Ab] think about the years I was raised
[Bbm] Back in the days
Back in the days, when I was young I'm not a [Eb] kid anymore
[Db] But some days I sit and wish I was a [Bbm] kid
Back in the days, [Ab] when I was young I'm not a [Db] kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a [F] kid
_ _ [Ebm] And everybody [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Abm] _ [Bbm]
say, I remember [Ebm] way _ [Fm] _ back when _
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Ab] _ Well, it's the nigger oh I figure that now I'm all grown up
Because I'm 18 years old and guess you could say I'm holding [Gb] down a steady job and crew steady mob
[Ebm] And you steady [E] bobbing your head and I paid so I [Bbm] got it made but didn't always have [Ebm] clout used to live in South
[Ab] Central LA that's where I stayed and figured a way out.
I [Bbm] gave it all I had so for what it's worth
[Ebm] I went from [Ab] rags to riches, which is a drag, but now I'm first
_ Yeah, we said that we was gonna make it since a kid and we [Db] finally did but sometimes I still sit and [Ebm] reminisce
Then [F] think about the years I was raised [Ebm] back in the day back in the days when I was young
I'm not a kid [Db] anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was [Gb] a kid again back in the days when I [Ebm] was young
I'm not a kid [Db] anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was [F] a kid
_ _ [Eb] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And everybody say I remember _ _
[Bbm] _ [Ebm] way back when, [Db] back in the [Abm] days I sit and wish I [Eb] was a kid again
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
