| On rough streets I never could realize what was the problem Oh no Why am I getting called out this way
|
| I just couldn’t see, my leather coat or who’s looking at me now
|
| I couldn’t pull it off
|
| To walk the street looking just how I would like
|
| With out looking left or right
|
| oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes
|
| Chorus: When I was young I only wanted to be black
|
| And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax.
|
| What’s your plans for the night?
|
| Meet up at the No I’ll get on my fixed gear
|
| In purple or black tights
|
| You’re dressed just right foryour decade true
|
| You’re dressed just right for your age
|
| What used to be a stage is just a phase now
|
| You’re not going up through life
|
| It’s only just like changing channels on your TV
|
| That’s not how it’s supposed to be oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes…
|
| Post Chorus: And everyone at the time
|
| Was only classic then, only classic then
|
| And everyone at this time, is only classic now, only classic now.
|
| What kind of accomplishment is through back?
|
| I was the first one to prefer that
|
| Everyone’s making dance music true
|
| But we’ve been doing it since 2002
|
| So what the future don’t appeal to you
|
| Where no one’s supposed to wear Jordan shoes
|
| When I was young yeah I wore them to school
|
| But I had them on only like something to lose.
|
| You got your eyes on it now
|
| Your fashionable goals you could never make it, oh no Anyway who could pull it off
|
| When everything cast as the future of retro
|
| I got beat up for my cloths oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes.
|
| Post chorus. |
