lyrics

ARTIST: BENINEM
ALBUM: AUTISTIC FLOW
SONG: BACK IN THE DAY

Back, back, back in the Day
That’s what happened back in the day

Back in the day I fell off my skateboard
And it hurt real bad ‘cause I was so mad
That is when Ben found the ballpoint pen
And that’s how it started

Yo, I used to watch Fresh Prince
Get dice in his mirror
And I used to laugh so hard
I started wheezing from the laughter
It turned out to be a disaster
‘Cause I lost my marbles ha ha
Nobody cares
So I grew out my hair like Carrot Top
The guy who uses props to be funny
Only, the cops got his crops
And he ended up in the slammer
Like MC Hammer
Cause his songs about “can’t touch this”
Make my feet crazy

I ended up on the dance floor
Break dancing to a guy who should “beat it”
He checked me out
And no doubt, he fell on the floor
That day he knew I rapped a good song
Not about hitting a bong
My beats don’t go like that
I’d run out of space in my mind
And I don’t know what I’d find
‘Cause I don’t want to go blind
So get off your seat
I’m up here to rap in a comic way
There’s nothing you can say to change my way

Back, back, back in the day
That’s what happened back in the day


You can ‘boo’ me off stage
But I’ll still rage like a machine

Back in the day I ran cross-country
Got my unies in a bungie
That’s how I lost them
I tried to jump a fence
And my hands got stuck
Oh man I got all bloody
I got blinded by the sun
And I had no fun
That’s ok at least I walk on streets

Back, back, back in the day
That’s what happened back in the day

Sometimes life goes on
Till the break of dawn
Like that song--
--No I’m just kidding
That would be boring
We’d all be snoring
Like when we go to the dentist
Who gives us laughing gas
And we fall asleep
And we don’t know what happened

That’s what happened
Back in the day.
