2 Contributors2007 Lyrics [Chorus] Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen [Verse 1] Back in the days when I was a teenager I used to pilfer product from the stores in my neighbor Hood, I used to think shit was all good Til the past caught my ass like Clint Eastwood I, Kept to mysеlf, kept my head in a screen It seemed, I was a ghost on thе high school scene I would coast to Kick Push, with kicks unclean Watching Snick on Nick, bowls of Kix and ice cream Ahh..and I was somewhat of an outcast Me and JK tryna be just like Outkast Looking back like damn, the time passed so fast Adulthood stank like an unwashed fat ass Completely reckless, shit we did was super dangerous Stupid games and shit, we used to drive around aimless, its Sneaking out the house just to go and play Halo I was fucking terrible, they still let me play tho Nights at Jammin Java all the Monster I could drink Thinking back might be the reason why I can’t sleep I’m almost 30 and its still setting in This mindset I’m in, got me still questioning, like Whatever happened to predictability Whatever happened to the chasing of my dreams I think we all should just max and relax Let me hop in a Delorean to take me right back [Chorus] Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen [Verse 2] I asked this girl… "Do you like Mike & Ike’s? Cuz I like Mike & Ike’s" I got super nervous and then I said, something like... ”I like you, do you like like me back I got a Lite Brite and I wipe mics I’m the Like Mike of rap I kickball like white lightning, I’d say I’m bad Like Mike in 87 pre White Mike in a mask I’m, alright, why do you ask" I talk wry and made her laugh Then I woke up from my fantasy, drooling in my class DAG! Dripping sweat like I just got out the swimming pool If you met me then, you probably wouldn’t think I’m cool I gotta say this, but you know it if you knew me Back in high school me and Jean Kong was riding in my hooptie Looseleaf and Bic pens scattered on the bedroom floor When I was tryna be the very best like no one ever did before Yes, that's a Pokemon reference, and just for reverence Evidence of my elegance mastering the elements Tell 'em it’s Marcus Smith, inevitable like Thanos When I’m snapping the track they say dammit that man is hellish I used to be hesitant but now I’m simply eloquent Doing this for half of my life, I’m black excellence Whatever happened to-- fuck it I’m unpredictable You can be analytical, metaphors metaphysical I just crank my shit up to 11 Reminisce about the days when we were young and inimitable [Chorus] Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen Take me back to those days Never play safe We used to run around till the cops came Back then I was so carefree Just young and dumb back when I was seventeen
