Yeah, back then didn't need the buzz
Russian Alex had Reebok Pumps
Big Gazz had Nike T-Dubs.
Everybody wanted nice sneakers
I saved up for a pair of Jordans
And spent all day dubbing tapes for Walkman's
Who remembers Ice-T was king?
Flat tops were in, Swatch's were bling
I couldn't comprehend my sisters intrepidy
Mohawks, cherry-dogs, dead Kennedy's
Pegz memories are bonified
But perceptions change overtime
Yeah I still love cars and motorbikes
Gimme coconut sauce and a bowl of rice
Keep my soul alive
Control the mics
Bruce Lee versus Poltergeist
[Chorus]
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Ducking transit cops and gumby's,
Menzies Av. was a real Jamanji
Windsor flats-
Saint Kilda junkies
Steal your money-
Like which bank?
Girls didn't seem so superficial
Levi jeans and a blue light disco
Let's go back when baseball caps meant-
Racking cans, police harassment
Style wars street assassin
Collectors porn I feed the passion
Bootlegs from Central Station
KRSone's Revelation
Knowledge and self preservation
Fuck Racism and President Reagan
Remember days when-
I first tried rapping
cabs were black/white
"can't get enough"
[Chorus]
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Everyone had humble intentions
DJ Koopz had a couple of lessons
Belcrives double cassette decks
Tandy mics with the budget connections
Back then I scrubbed floors and packed shelves
And left school to get away and hang out
Phone boxes, pinball parlors
Showing off like an ignor-ar-mus
Whole crew had a crush on Tiffany
And got played like a Mozart symphony
Bronx infamy, Compton attitude
Flannelette shirts and Adidas pair of shoes
Bomber jackets, Turtle Ray-bans
New Balance, purple stained hands
Little Ben got burnt by spray cans
And I still hear reverberations
[Final Chorus]
Back then didn't need the buzz
Back then hadn't seen enough
Back then I was dreaming of-
B-girls in the classroom steaming hot
Homeboys at the station being hard
Beatbox on the train MC in the park
Getting chased by cops, piss in the yards
Back then I learnt the meaning of art
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
