Lyrics
[Hook]
Back in the day, life was all play,
No cell phones, just outside till May.
Cartoons and games, the 90s were tight,
Wish we could go back, to that old school sight.
[Verse 1]
Yo, remember the times, when the streets were our stage,
Kickin' it with friends, no rage in our cage.
Super Soakers loaded, we were ready for war,
Trading cards in hand, Pokémon, we adore.
Arcades buzzin', quarters stacked high,
Sonic and Mario, under the blue sky.
Saturday mornin', cereal and toons,
Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, we were immune.
[Hook]
Back in the day, life was all play,
No cell phones, just outside till May.
Cartoons and games, the 90s were tight,
Wish we could go back, to that old school sight.
[Verse 2]
Football boots laced, on the pitch we'd ball,
Dreamin' of the Premier League, we were ten feet tall.
Fresh Prince on the screen, with Jazz gettin' tossed,
In a world before the internet, nobody was lost.
Comic books sprawled, across the bedroom floor,
Action figures lined up, ready for the lore.
Home Alone, Macaulay, setting those traps,
And when the bell rang, we'd rush for our caps.
[Verse 3]
Yo-yos and Tamagotchis, we kept 'em alive,
On our BMX bikes, we'd take that dive.
Blockbuster nights, gaming and chill,
Before Netflix and streaming, that was the thrill.
Slap bracelets, snapbacks, and neon gear,
Walkmans bumpin', our soundtrack clear.
Saved by the Bell, the school bell ring,
Those were the days, when we felt like kings.
[Hook]
Back in the day, life was all play,
No cell phones, just outside till May.
Cartoons and games, the 90s were tight,
Wish we could go back, to that old school sight.
[Verse 4]
But now times have changed, the streets ain't the same,
Kids wielding knives, it's a dangerous game.
Over turf, over pride, it's a heartbreaking sight,
Wish we could teach 'em, there's no need to fight.
Let's bring back the love, the community feel,
Where play was the deal, and the joy was real.
No need for the violence, or the pain it brings,
Let's go back to the 90s, and spread those wings.
[Verse 4]

Where play was the deal, and the joy was real.
No need for the violence, or the pain it brings,
Let's go back to the 90s, and spread those wings.

Back in the day, life was all play,
No cell phones, just outside till May.
Cartoons and games, the 90s were tight,
Wish we could go back, to that old school sight.
