Back In The Day Lyrics

Back in the day when I was a teenager
Before I had status and a two-way pager
You could find the KJ listening to hip-hop
Blastin' it so loud my parents was like, "Turn it off"

I used to rock turtlenecks with Mc Hammer pants
Watch, 'Yo, MTV raps', just to catch the latest dance
I did the running man they said, "Not bad for a white man"
I said, "I'm not really white, I just really need a tan"

I used to write the girlie's phone numbers down upon my hand
And I didn't go nowhere without my tapes and Walkman
Rolling up the bottom of my pants as tight as I can
And I'm up late at night talking to my girlfriend saying

Whatcha doin'?
Nothin'
I gotta go
Umm, alright
You hang up first
No, you hang up first
No, you hang up first
No, you hang up first
On the count of three both hang up
1, 2, 3, still there?

Back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Well I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)

Back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Okay, I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)

Back in the day when I was a teenager
I wanted lines in my eyebrows so I took a razor
But I messed up and accidently I just shaved the
Whole eyebrow off I was like, "I'm going crazy"

See it was tough just growing up in the 80's
But for me it was rough 'cuz no girls would ever date me
All the ladies I would ask out was like
"Well maybe, you're okay but you're no Patrick Swayze"

Unfortunately I think all my teachers hate me
'Cuz I sit in the back making noises like I'm crazy
But it's all gravy
In third period today, I'm gonna ask out this lady

I got the paper, got the pencil now whoops, here I go
Will you go out with me, check yes or noKj-52 - Back In The Day - http://motolyrics.com/kj-52/back-in-the-day-lyrics.html
I'm feeling all slick when I handed her the note
I told you ten times already no now leave me alone

But back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Well, I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)

Back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Okay, I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)

Back in the day when I was a teenager
I was only 15 when I just met my Savior
And He came in straight in my heart and he just changed the
Way I used to live in ill behavior

Now, it's amazing to see my life that I just gave ya
So amazing to me Jesus Christ you became the
Savior to me and ain't never been the same the
Way I would be back in the day it would amaze ya

But the change that I see it was done in a major way
I would be so that all I can do is thank ya
Every day just for me is a new day to praise ya
'Cuz you came just to be all I need
And you just made a way for me to see

So I broke it down for you
Now I'ma take you back in the day kind of
Like this dude
Dum, dum, dum, du, du, dum, dum
Dum, dum, dum, du, du, dum, dum
Ya can't touch this

Back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Well, I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)

Back in the day
(I was so cool)
Back in the day
(The coolest one in school)
It was back in the day
(Okay, I can't lie to you)
Back in the day
(I was a nerdy little dude, but)
