Intro Chorus:
Lookin' back on those days
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today
Naa naa naa hey!
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today
(Oh no no)
(Oh no no)
(Oh no no)
Verse 1:
Growin' up I never had much, but I felt loved, so I didn't want that much
Then my mum and dad split, went to live with my step-dad, yeah I found that tough
Started chillin' with a clique, kept gettin' into shit - puffin' spliff 'n' gettin' mad drunk
Yeah, we thought that we were sick - so young and ignorant; I'll admit that I had fun!
All the trouble that we caused, always runnin' from the law, didn't give a shit at all, no-one stopped us!
Hustlin' and skippin' school, breakin' rules, bein' fools, thinkin' we were really cool doin' hot stuff!
But now we've grown up and changed - all gone our separate ways
Wow! Who knew that we'd make up for all of our mistakes?
Chorus:
Lookin' back on those days
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today
Naa naa naa hey!
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today (Lookin' back on those days)
(Oh no no)
(Oh no no)
Verse 2:
Sega Megadrive and the SNES
While Big was still alive, I was spittin' all the rhymes of his
Bumpin' "Ready To Die", then "Hypnotise" on the album "Life After Death"
Then I heard A Tribe Called Quest
I played Jurassic 5 then Gangsta's Paradise, followed by Rapper's Delight
Tryin'a find my own style
Coz I knew I wanted to write like this
Let's not forget the West Coast scene - Warren G and Nate Dogg on that "Regulate" song
Critical acclaim for the 213
They paved the way for people like me to be who we be
Now, I make songs in their praise - not in a religious way
Now, music has all changed - most peeps just want to get paid
Chorus:
Lookin' back on those days
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today
Naa naa naa hey!
No way did I think I'd be where I'm at today (Lookin' back on those days)
(Oh no no)
(Oh no no)
