[Intro] VERSE 1 Im rolling, Im rolling, reminiscing got me rolling Im trying to live in the moment, but hey check out this story I remember it was like the first day of school And I had the oversized shirt with the pants down to my ankles I thought it was so cool And I had the Nikes all black with the hat to match, swear I was feeling it But I was like four foot ten and ninety pounds so aint nobody gonna take me seriously But I still Walked through them halls like What? Who want it with the boss? Thought I was a hot shot, but when the girls came around It would all stop Because in the eighth grade I had this boo thing I was trying to be with for my life And make her my wife, and I was like thirteen But she ended up breaking my heart Swear I was a lost cause I used to fall for the girls so hard but that aint changed at all But oh well You win some, you learn some, I heard once That you gonna smile and you gonna hurt some But them memories gonna be worth something I got it HOOK Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast VERSE 2 I remember this one time, one time I tried to sell a little something something on the side Then my friend got caught like the very next day man since Then I aint ever tried I aint never died, but I almost did It was on a trip back in New York Some stuff went down, I aint really proud Its something that the parents dont know I guess till now, but I aint tripping, never been ashamed Of the life Im living Cause I know one day this gonna be something I tell my children Like the 99 Corolla was my very first car And every other week I thought that thing would fall apart So I put a lot of love in it And I got a lot of love in it But I wish I could go back again to take it out for one last Spin But life just keeps on happening It hasnt been the same ever since, but I still reminisce, my God HOOK Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast VERSE 3 You remember when going to the mall meant something? Spending hours walking around And still aint leave when it all closed down Running around acting a fool And pops gave me like 20 dollars for food That I would spend on stupid luxuries And still for some reason wonder why I was so hungry Like yo, the money management part of my life was so nonexistent And if you dated someone from another school you considered that long distance Even if its in your district, only like 15 minutes away Its crazy for me to say, Yo, remember back in the day? HOOK Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast Back in the day I had it made I would do anything I wish that I could go back I wouldnt change Id be the same And Id keep running game My life just flew by too fast Okay, some people graduate Some people stay, some move away Some people wait, some people really go out there and try and get it So what you gonna do pimpin? I mean the ball is in your court so what you gonna do with it? I hope youre cool with it
