Way Back When Songtext
von Choice37

West coast say I remember way back when
East coast say I remember way back when
Now everybody say I remember way back when
When? Back in the day
What? Back in the day
West coast say I remember way back when
East coast say I remember way back when
Now everybody say I remember way back when
When? Back in the day
What? Back in the day


Started out breakdancing, moved on to poppin′
Floor work was wack, I was good at uprocking
Took a chance at locking, I was better with chicken
I could erk and jerk my lips to any stupid old rhythm
Then I started to listen, the words I started to get 'em
These brothers were talking about a place where I′m living
Now I hear 'em loud and clear, I can relate
There's more to the movement than the familiar face
Tryna find my place so I can play my part, it was hard
By myself, tryna learn the art, mom′s opened her heart
Started buying me vinyl
Run-DMC and LL, my mind went wild
Freedom was the style they did not copy
Raw, pure emotion, nothing about it was poppy
Nothing can stop me on a mission like Special Ed
To drop a fly record and make you move your head

I remember way back when (When?)
I was a youngin around 8 to 10 (Where?)
In Long Beach, Californ-i-a
Man, those were the days (Those were the days)
I remember way back when (When?)
I was a youngin around 8 to 10 (Where?)
In Long Beach, Californ-i-a
Man, those were the days
