Back in the Day

Mike Champion - Back In The Day

Hook:

Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again

Verse 1:

Woke up feelin' a way about it

Wish I could bring the 90's back with a tap

Hit the throwback, switchin'.

No I don't feel the need to fit

I'm fine with resistance,

Just know I can go the distance, like this!

And is anybody wishing?

That we could live in a time that required us to be consistent.

Why don't we rewind, and pay no mind to attention.

Remember R&B used to be Jodeci and Mint Condition,

It's Uncle Phil and Will Smith then,

The Prince and praise the lord Jazzy Jeff is in the mix and...

Will somebody anybody please bring back a love for tradition.

And put some thought in the things that I say when I head about my mission.

Help me practice what I preach so my speech will fuel my ambition.

My spontaneous repetition and can you listen to me.

If we got back in time how will we re-define coalition?

I hope we realign our minds tryna fine some devine intuition.

I just want to go back help R Kelly make some better decisions.

I'm like the key to ignition, a new kinda pimpin'.

I'm not the type to neglect the respect that I get for my commitment.

Yeah that's just always been me always feel so free when I'm different.

Yo I learnt how to do my thing following New Edition.

I'm that kinda musician, I'm Scottie Pippen the way I go swish in.

I learned never be afraid, I never focus on no competition.

I got power in my name I can play the game in every position.

From a brother, to a father, to an R&B **** no glitchin'.

I'm smooth with the transition.

If they compare me to the past I'm like Outkast with the transmission.

Might sport the G-Class,

Put a little cash in the dash for my Black Beautician.

It's wealth when I speak, this knowledge comes free no tuition.

There's no need I just need you to listen.

Bet I can show you honesty with sincerity there's no need for switchin'.

Go tell your girl she's a queen let you heart be the king of cognition.

And don't callin' her a bitch and he is not a bitch

People stop bitchin'.

I'm itchin' for the switch when will they listen to me.

Please listen.

To the words of the verse every time that you feel yourself slippin'.

Press rewind and unwind to the sounds I'm like Mike the Magician.

Just let a Young Boy flow through your soul with my compositions,

Let's go one more time around then I'm dippin'.

I wrote this for the best friends that argue always be trippin'.

From the East to the West Blackyardigans when they just sippin'.

I got nothing but love for the folks that hit go on this intermission,

I do appreciate the listen.

Hugs & Kisses, my brothers and my sisters, I'm Back In The Day.

Hook:

Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again.

And everybody say,

I remember way back when.

And everybody say,

I remember way back when.

And everybody say,

I remember way back when
