Ankle Biters - Thundamentals

Lemme bring you back, I bring you back right now

I bring you back, sit your ass right down

I bring you back, lemme bring you back right now

For you

No one could in my terrible twos

To tell the truth I wouldn’t even level witchu

Indeed, me, me, me was a general rule

Mum was like, «Please, I need sleep, I’m beggin' you, dude»

She’d do anything to get me to snooze

Fed me alphabet soup, bought vegetable stew

Inedible goop, you can bet I refused

'Cause the spew was inevitable, yeah

And while dad was watchin' Rocky films

Picture me wit' a box of buildin' blocks, slobberin' on orange peels

Schemin', what’s the deal?

Need my bottle filled, speak to Dr. Phil

But I couldn’t reach the hospital till chickenpox got me, ew

And you can bet I got lots of thrills

Popsicles, lollipops all up in this toddlers grills

Redskins were rocket fuel, Milko’s were optional

You could buy a Python for less than a dollar bill

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

Before your internet bandwidth, I was on the block

Tryna be the best baddest BMX bandit

Ridin' no handed, tryna chuck a wheelie

Vibin', hopin' that the fuzz didn’t see me

Mum’s was a genie, whippin' up the illest food (Ye-huh)

But she would never let us eat it in the living room

We spent summers in the next door swimmin' pool

Dive bombers, suckers like, «Move gimme room»

Playin' cricket in the driveway

But if you scratched dad’s whip you were bound to catch a tirade (Ah shit)

Me and my mates flippin' off the neighbourhood jocks

We had it locked like the Neighbourhood Watch

But nowadays the neighbourhood’s hot, kids pills

Shit, I was trill with a Bubble O' Bill

A bag of marbles, fans of the monkey magic

You couldn’t imagine all the fun we had, we take it

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

Ninja Turtles was the bomb and Shredder was the shit

Little Athletics hundred-meter sprint

Scooby was the dude, and we were droppin' Bomberman

Mortal Kombat, FIFA Soccer was the jam, Shaq

Was the man in the picture sittin' on my mantlepiece (yeah, yeah)

With a couple 411 magazines, yo

Kickies in the cardboard, ollies over Coke cans

Ridin' 'round the block mad stoked to have no plan

As a kid after school, this is how we might do (Tell 'em)

Buzzin' with my cousin playin' Street Fighter 2 (Yeah)

With the shell suits and undercut, some sported mullets (Suckers)

Basketball trading cards, Jordan was wanted

was blunted, but we never watched M*A*S*H

Mike Jack’s «Thriller» clip had the city on smash

Bill Murray Ghostbustin', Indiana Jones and

WWF reppin' Hulk Hogan

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

Back in the day I was happy to say

That I loved getting carried away

Back in the day (Back, back in the day)

Back in the day (Doo-wop) (Back in the days y’all)

«I remember I was just—just like you»

«Back in the days»

«I remember I was just—just like you»

«Smoke a blunt ««Back in—

Back in—

Back in—

Back in the days»
