It's summertime, it's so hot

I'm wearing shorts a tank top and flip flops

I see birds flying in the blue sky

And marshmallow clouds floatin' by

School's out so it's the weekend everyday

From sun-up to sun-down in the hood we play

Our block party's jammin off the chain

We're lined up dancin' like we're on soul train

The live band sounds so good to me

With Derrick thumpin the bass

And Todd ticklin keys

Laron and Pat both droppin the beat

While Meshun and his boys supply the harmony

I wish this day didn't have to end

But 2morrow will come and we'll do it again



chorus

Let's take it back to the ol' days

When Mamma jammed to the OJay's 

While cookin' breakfast on a Saturday

Those were the good ol' days



Let's take it back to the ol' days

When Daddy barbequed on Sunday

And Livin' life was just so easy

Those were the good ol' days



I still like fresh sweats, dreads and adidas

Boy, I only smiled just 

2 let you know I see ya

I was the kinda girl 

Who liked all the bad boys

When I was young 

I lived for the fun and the

Joy my life brought, then

Life, was so carefree

And now that I'm grown

I wish I could go back to when

We would play hide and seek

Watch Schoolhouse Rock on tv

Fat Albert and Prince were my two favorite things

And “My Adidas” by Run DMC



Na'mean,

We're takin it back y'all

2 the place

When the cabbage patch rocked y'all

And the year

Was 1985 y'all 

So go back in time with me
