Song Lyrics

Yeah
Do that
Do that

I remember way back when
I was just a little young boy then 1985
Momma had the radio bumpin' and the block was jumpin'
And my neighbors showed love

And the music was better
Fast forward in to the ninety's and eight ball leathers
Even though crime was high
Momma said ride your bike but don't leave the block

We had house parties moved to block parties
B-Boys dance they wouldn't fight nobody
Things were a little safer then, yeah

And I remember Jack Tripper, George and Weezie
Come five thirty Good Times was on TV
Yeah, I wish that I could take it back
Let's take it back one time

Let's go back in day
Show love like back in the day
I miss back in the day
Way before CD's there was eight track tape

Let's go back in the day
Use slang from back in the day
Let's dance like back in the day
Make music like back in the day
I remember it well

I remember Saturday morning cartoons
Applejacks on my lap sitting watching Thundercats
Conjunction junction what's your function
Night Court had the bass line bumpin'

That's when TV was better
I remember rockin' cross color sweaters
And even though crime was high
Used it turn on the fire plug chill on the block

House parties moved to block parties
B-Boys dance they wouldn't fight nobody
Things were little safer then, yeah

And I remember Jack Tripper, George and Weezie
Come five thirty Good Times was on TV
Yeah, I wish that I could take it back
Let's take it back one time

Let's go back in day
Show love like back in the day
I miss back in the day
Way before CD's there was eight track tape

Let's go back in the day
Use slang from back in the day
Let's dance like back in the day
Make music like back in the day
I remember it well

Yeah, you know my man [Incomprehensible] on guitars
You know what I mean
Yeah, make way

Remember when Santana used to play Black Magic Woman
Mayfield kept it real with the Pusher Man
Run DMC linked with Aerosmith
Joe Perry blessed the beat with a guitar riff

One love to Big Pun and what he brought to the game
One love to Cool C Rap, Hurk, Nas and Kane
If you love rap and rock then you know what I mean
Let's take it back one time, take it back one time, alright

Let's go back in day
Show love like back in the day
I miss back in the day
Way before CD's there was eight track tape

Let's go back in the day
Use slang from back in the day
Let's dance like back in the day
Make music like back in the day
I remember it well

Let's go back in day
Show love like back in the day
I miss back in the day
Way before CD's there was eight track tape

Let's go back in the day
Use slang from back in the day
Let's dance like back in the day
Make music like back in the day
I remember it well

I remember it well
I remember it well
