Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna
[Verse 2]
I wanna, I wanna rave like back in the day
Won't hold back in the night time, rolling no mistake
With my crew at the front, you know that's how we play
Take me back to the time, gyal
Two-step to the baseline and rhyme, line and rhyme
I wanna, I wanna rave like back in the day
All the way up, no problem, let that big sound play
I'm allowed in with my bottle of rum and my lemonade
Take me back to the time, gyal
Two-step to the baseline and rhyme, line and rhyme
[Verse 3]
I wanna rave like back in the day
I wanna rave like I've travelled through time
Used to wear trackies and caps in the rave
I didn't wear smart shoes, wore my Nikes
I just came through to say big up and safe
I'm looking like the yellow smiley face
I was the king at just riding the wave
I can confirm that not much of that's changed
[Verse 4]
I wanna rave like back in the day
My DJ was on acetate
Gyal move to the B-line, wine up the waist
I want the speaker in my face
Let's go some next place just for the day
I wanna rewind that decade
Omni Trio with the 'Renegade Snares'
On the remix it was Foul Play, ay
Flashback to the late nights on the Raz
Main Room inna Fabric, let's go champ
Rewind to the grey mornings in Victoria station, gone too HAM
Bang, hitting a new city with the gang
Of course I'd walk past that doorman
These times I weren't touring
Nor were my friends who got real jobs now
[Verse 5]
I wanna rave like back in the day
I wanna rave like could travel through time
No guest list I'll stand in the line
Vinyl mixing, double drop The Nine
I wanna dance like I'm 16 again
I wanna sack my plans tomorrow
The old me and me meet again
Standard procedures follow
[Verse 6]
I wanna I wanna rave like back in the day
Won't hold back in the night time, rolling no mistake
With my crew at the front, you know that's how we play
Take me back to the time, gyal
Two-step to the baseline and rhyme, line and rhyme
I wanna, I wanna rave like back in the day
All the way up, no problem, let the big sound play
I'm allowed in with my bottle of rum and my lemonade
Take me back to the time, gyal
Two-step to the baseline and rhyme, line and rhyme
[Verse 7]
Lemme see you shaking your boots
Come back to your old school, back to your roots
I wanna see ya craziest moves
I was never too cool when I was yout
So come and buss a shape in the room
Maybe me and my group are the waviest dudes
Give a man saves on a zoot
Then I'm straight in the room with my face in the scoops
Do you wanna out-out, like wise
Lemme see who's about now, my guys
Holla all the girls like my size
Sounds of the Mungo's Hi-Fi
All the late nights and bright lights
We the guys with the wide eyes
Double rum with a sliced lime
Ain't it funny how time flies?
[Verse 8]
I wanna rave like back in the day
I wanna rave like could travel through time
Smoking area, chatting away
Think tonight has reached new heights
I wanna dance with all my mates again
I don't care what's on tomorrow
I have this sudden urge to be
Back down the long dark tunnel
[Verse 9]
Yeah
I wanna, I wanna
I wanna, I wanna
Come on
