Lyrics

Let the kids sing

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 young, I'm not a kid anymore

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

Uh, huh

Thinkin' back when things were so easy

Got me laughin' out loud, for no reason

I use to take them cans back and collect them nickels

Trading Garbage Pail Kid cards for sweet pickles

The whole block used to have G.I. Joe battles

Yeah, your boy had the original Storm Shadow

And as of lately, things have been slow

So I reminisce on when we use to break them windows

Yeah, 'til I got snatched by the cops

With a Wiffle Ball bat and a hand full of rocks

Consider this song a throw back

'Cause all I wanna do is go back

Y'all sing it with me

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 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 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 young, I'm not a kid anymore

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

Tell 'em

And this was way before PlayStation

Rushing home to watch Video vibrations

Man, I tell you Sherry Carter coulda got the business

And I can't forget Rachel from Caribbean Rhythms

This was back when Rap City used to play the jams

This is how I first heard about the Wu-Tang Clan

Banged 36 chambers all summer long

And to this day, Canopy's my favorite summer song

And I can drop names for days

Of all my favorite artists who helped to pave the way

But we probably need a lot more than just four minutes

So this is how I'm gonna end it, everybody sing

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 young, I'm not a kid anymore (come on)

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (everybody sing)

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (yeah)

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

(It’s Travie, last one, Nappy Boy!) 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

Yeah, I'm on the bus in the back lounge

Sweaty, cold, confused in another unfamiliar town

Another sold out show

Spillin' my soul to a ton of people I don't know

And I can feel my skin wearin' thinner

Fourth night, no appetite for dinner

Shit, goddamn, well, ain't life grand?

Gettin' paid to stand on stage with your heart in your hand

Sometimes I squeeze it 'til they get worried

If this is Groundhogs Day, I guess I'm Bill Murray

And I swear I'm not complainin' at all

I love each and every one of ya'll

All I'm really sayin' is...

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (come on)

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (everybody sing)

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (come on)

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (everybody sing)

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (come on)

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again (yeah)

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 (everybody sing)

Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore (come on)

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

(Nappy Boy! It’s Travie) 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 (let’s go!)
