Dreamin' of Days - Pat D/Lady Paradox/Izzy G/Shaheen

Back in the day

We used to love staying up late

Now we can't sleep

Tryna find ways to escape

And these days

That usually consists of

Building a spliff up

Or drinking till we stop thinking and drift off

Anything to escape the feeling

Stressful weeks

Played into hazy weekends

Tryna shake the demons

Of wasted seasons

A long way from

Younger days spent dreaming

Of what we could be

The possibilities were endless

Now we got responsibilities to contend with

Chasing wrong agendas

Running 'round in circles

Living our lives

Showing a lack of virtue

Like hip hop

Far from what they claim in a verse it's either

Ranges or merks or rays getting merked

It feels like we changed for the worse

Wish I could go back

To the best days on the earth

What happened to the days back then

When were the latest trend

We'd sit in the park all day

Sipping on our lemonade

Back then

I guess it was less complex

Cereal and cartoons

Wondering what's on next

Now we're so far removed

And it's all a contest

And there's too much to do

And worries on our chest

Back then there was no stress

Listening to cassette tapes

And lay in my house

Was known as the rest day

Didn't have to think about

Needing to get paid

As things rearrange

I guess you learn to accept change

Those were the best days

Sipping um bongo

Girls in the park

Playing how does the song go

Bright colored ponchos

Sitting in the treetops

Wearing high knee socks

With black currie freeze pops

Nowadays I feel lost

I guess time changes

From thinking you could be

Anything like Power Rangers

Now it's all faded

Friends become strangers

We strive to escape

This and who can really blame us

What happened to the days back then

When were the latest trend

We'd sit in the park all day

Sipping on our lemonade

Nowadays

I end up feeling so confused

Don't take a lot to rock my mood

All I've got is to consume

I remember sitting chilling

With a bowl of fruity loops

My mind would be amused

As I watch the looney tunes

Think of something cool to do

Like fly in a spaceship

Brought back to earth

By the thought of a pay slip

Used to be a crazed kid

Imagining great places

Greener trees better scenery

And smiling faces

As time races

Life seems less enticing

I used to love

Watching at night then

Hulk Hogan got replaced by Mike Tyson

Moved from onto white Nikes and

Back in the day

We used to like fighting

That was messing around

But now he might knife him

It's quite frightening

The way things changed

I wish that

They could've stayed the same

What happened to the days back then

When were the latest trend

We'd sit in the park all day

Sipping on our lemonade

I wish

We could go

Back to the easy times

When we didn't need rhymes

And I wish

We could go

Back where the skies

Were bright

And everything seemed nice

Now I wish

We could go

Back to the easy times

When we didn't need rhymes

And I wish

We could go

Back and I wish wish wish wish
