| [00:21.60] |
We used to play jump the line |
| [00:22.63] |
Or who could wrap the swing around the frame the most times |
| [00:25.77] |
Back in the day, riding our bikes around the estate |
| [00:29.08] |
And playin' basketball in the cage, those were the days |
| [00:32.05] |
I remember them water fights, the tap outside |
| [00:35.38] |
Just to race to it on our bikes |
| [00:37.27] |
Grinnin' with two front teeth missin', we did what we like |
| [00:40.12] |
Those days are missin', those days were alright |
| [00:42.86] |
Knock down ginger, knock knock then shift |
| [00:45.66] |
Two minutes later we got locked in the lift |
| [00:48.20] |
Laughin' when we got out, got into silly arguments |
| [00:51.23] |
About who found the pound on the ground |
| [00:53.77] |
Bopped to the shops bought about ten ice pops |
| [00:56.44] |
The weather was hot so they melted in our pockets |
| [00:58.96] |
Used to carry my belongings in them |
| [01:00.41] |
McDonald's bum bags |
| [01:02.12] |
That was back then so boy don't mock it |
| [01:04.54] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:06.67] |
Yo those were the days |
| [01:08.69] |
I will never forget |
| [01:09.78] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:12.09] |
Yo those were the days |
| [01:14.01] |
I could never regret |
| [01:15.46] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:17.51] |
Yo those were the days |
| [01:19.23] |
I will never forget |
| [01:20.52] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:22.85] |
Yo those were the days |
| [01:25.07] |
We used to race down the hill in old safe way trolleys |
| [01:28.71] |
I wasn't indoors playing with Barbie's or dollies |
| [01:31.73] |
I was outside jumpin' off walls or playin' football |
| [01:34.30] |
Or getting chased by the local pit bull |
| [01:36.80] |
The odd character that every borough had |
| [01:39.36] |
Mad Phillip, Ginger beard or Mad Max |
| [01:42.40] |
The places you wouldn't wanna see when you're on your jacks |
| [01:45.14] |
In the places you wouldn't be in if you stuck to your packs |
| [01:47.96] |
Stayed out till it was pitch black |
| [01:49.51] |
Sprayed my name on concrete slabs |
| [01:51.41] |
And I never got b**** slapped |
| [01:53.09] |
Seen a couple of mans get stabbed |
| [01:54.70] |
Been chased by the mad man, gotta get back |
| [01:57.88] |
So I can catch joke with my next door neighbor |
| [02:00.23] |
We played the first |
| [02:01.43] |
Mortal Kombat on the Sega |
| [02:03.27] |
Back then playing the latest jungle tunes we had on cassette |
| [02:06.70] |
Those were the days |
| [02:07.89] |
I will never forget |
| [02:09.17] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [02:11.41] |
Yo those were the days |
| [02:13.16] |
I will never forget |
| [02:14.46] |
Yeah, yeah |

| [02:18.59] |

| [02:19.82] |

| [02:24.02] |
I will never forget |
| [02:25.18] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [02:27.42] |
Yo those were the days |
| [02:30.44] |
Remember naf naf jackets and spliffy jeans |
| [02:33.52] |
Adidas campus, them things were in |
| [02:36.20] |
It wasn't about the king of the bling |
| [02:38.54] |
It was the king of the rim or the king of the swing |
| [02:41.52] |
Back then, well, I kind has less |
| [02:44.32] |
But less was much better 'cause it saved a lot of stress |
| [02:46.94] |
I hung out in Coffers community center |
| [02:49.54] |
They've knocked it down and replaced it with an Asda |
| [02:52.61] |
My parents way of tellin' us to get our backs in |
| [02:55.15] |
Was them sounding some old f***ing klaxon |
| [02:58.11] |
A soldier marched back up to Radcliffe Walk |
| [03:00.63] |
Chalk hill Estate don't exist no more, it's just talk |
| [03:03.56] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [03:05.41] |
Yo those were the days |
| [03:07.26] |
I will never forget |
| [03:08.46] |
Yeah, yeah |
