Remember The Days - Roll Deep

Back in the day when I was a teenager

Me Jet and Joe used to play with danger

I remember when Danny Mo’cate was a stranger

Boys in bittiez (?) used to shot with a pager

Gods gift was Pepsi

and milk, weren’t major

I was on front line before I used the big razor

I was a raver, cocky little fader

Now I feel blue like sonic on sega (?)

I got fun feelings good and bad memories

Times moved on but I got the same enemies

Going all out 'til a snitch had to tell on me

That was in the past, now I spit like venom-y

Change what you like but the bad name stays

Life’s too short to be set in your ways

Whatever happened to the good old days?

Those carefree days, I remember the days

I remember when we were young

Your ass kept in touch you know, you know

Reminiscing back in time, my life was on the line

I’ve grown, I’ve grown

I remember the days I used to be on the street

And no.

we can’t still survive on the street

You wanted to know, so I’m telling you that

Life on the street can be an eye-opener

Im watching doors open up

Before none of this seemed possible

Everything was impossible didn’t stop

I was flexible with the hours

And now I’m flexible with the powers

Im strong minded, some are empty minded

Troops get divided they started off as friends

And then they collided

I started off at home but now we’re separated

You see the loving that we both appreciated it

Before I remember when I couldn’t leave this chick

I used to cheat and thing, make hesky (?) beat and ting

Go home and have a argument creating heat n ting

And then I’m off again

I’m tryn’a leave the past behind me

I wanna live in a place where nobody can find

Me

I remember them days when I was coming up

Little kid on the rise with the highness in the eyes

No surprise that us kids were searching for something more

The different music that we be sellin' in every store

Back then the days were different

The blocks were dark and evil

My line eject (?) the sequel

But that’s the UK version

Hunger was needed to survive on these streets

You had to stay above the water to be one of the elite

School told me to hustle

And hustle that was the code

The education and stuff had to be put on hold

You could find me in the smokers corner, flippin' some coins

Or find me in the cafeteria getting double sirloins

I was a little balla balla, should’ve gone all the way

Wasn’t dedicated, loose cannon, kind of led me astray

In my first move from a little Mini Coupé

No lay lay (?) when I was coming up

Yeah back in the day
