Dem Days
By Terrell Lamont


Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again

Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again


Summer of 92/93 was the best years
Everybody had their Starter caps
And their fresh gear
Me and Mike on the court
Tryin’ to take on everyone
He was reppin’ the Bulls
I was reppin the Suns
All day in the Sun
Gettin’ dark and shit
Playin’ ball at the park
After dark and shit
We was just kids
With good hearts and shit
We was best friends
Had a good partnership
Man, dem days was like
Sippin’ lemonade in the shade
On a 100 degree day
We got it made
Fresh from the barber just got a fade
Pulled out my walkman
Popped in the tape of Snoop Dogg
What’s my name
Then we’d watched the cars drive by
Dreamin’ about the cars we would drive
When we turned 25



Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again

Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again


It’s kind of crazy
How that time fly by
When you’re not watchin’ the clock
Tick tock tick tock
Naw it really don’t stop
And the numbers on the sides of the colon
They keep goin’
Constantly reminding us to embrace each moment
Hold on to dem days
Insistent on reminiscin’
Think about them girls
And how to get ‘em to kiss us
And when they dissed us
Moved on to their sisters
We wasn’t into crime
Just loved to cause mischif
We wasn’t into crime
Just loved to cause mischif
To all my boys from back in the day
Man I miss ya


Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again

Back in the days when I was young
I’m not a kid anymore
But somedays sit and wish I was a kid again
