| Yeah-eah, umm-umm, yeah-eah
|
| Yeah, yeah — yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh
|
| Chorus (Cicero)
|
| Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark
|
| Family over, house parties
|
| School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
|
| Chillin' at home playing old CD’s, video games, colourful magazines
|
| Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
|
| Verse One (Funky DL)
|
| Trading Panini sticker books was Thug Life
|
| Nico Claesen was like the hardest to find
|
| Adidas Gazelles for some were the hardest to buy
|
| 1985, Thriller was out, I’m watching Michael as a Zombie
|
| The Huxtables was Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad
|
| With five kids, money in the bank, this a facade?
|
| Immersed in the breakin' culture
|
| It’s like Turbo had us spinning on our backs
|
| Our heads to hand-claps, Ozone
|
| School uniform was fresh on my first day
|
| My favourite television show’s every Thursday'
|
| Fist fights in many places and one we named Las Vegas
|
| Around this time Tyson was the greatest
|
| The Jungle Brothers on my playlist
|
| Headphones with red foam and cassettes tapes you had to turnover
|
| It was a time that slowly disappeared
|

|
| Cos before I’d write rhymes I was…

| Verse Two (Funky DL)
|
| On the flip-side, we older now
|
| Obligations, responsibilities and paying tax is trying to hold us down
|
| For some of us it’s too much, I seen friends locked up
|
| Struggling with drugs and get shot
|
| Lose they kids to the system, from care homes to prison
|
| Could be a lack of wisdom, a lack of recognition
|
| A lack of supervision, a lack of discipline
|
| A lack of one parent as a participant
|
| I’m listening to people making facts out opinions
|
| And nothing supersedes making money for dominion
|
| They want millions and millionaires want billions
|
| And everybody’s on the Gram with their brilliance
|
| Like «look at me, don’t I look good?
|
| Here’s another picture of me that I took good
|
| And see the number in the corner increase, that mean they like me»
|
| And all this reminds me is that it’s unlikely that one day I might be…
|
| Chorus (Cicero)
|
| Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark
|
| (ooh-ooh), family over, house parties
|
| School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
|
| (yeah-eah), chillin' at home playing old CD’s
|
| (yeah-yeah), video games, colourful magazines
|
| Early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free
|
| Yo', can we take it back to?
|
| Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark
|
| Family over, house parties
|
| School friends telling me, «come follow me on a bus journey»
