JAY-Z lyrics : "Back In The Day"

Brothers and sisters!
Brothers and sisters, I don't know what this world is coming to!"


[Jigga] Whassup Missy? Timbo!
[Missy] This is.. another.. Missy
[Jigga] Hip-Hop! Yes!

[Missy] Elliott, exclusive



Yes, uhh
One for the butters, I came from the gutter
No I came from my mother but y'all know what I mean

Hov' is here to stay like permanent crease in your jeans
Me and Missy be the new +Tag Team+
"Whoomp! There It Is"

We like, Rae & Ghost, A.G. and Showbiz
We "Public Enemy #1," our "Uzi Weighs a Ton"
This is our house, RUN!



What happened to those good old days?

When hip-hop, was so much fun
Ohh, house parties in the summer y'all (c'mon)
And no one, came through with a gun

It was all about the music y'all
It helped.. to relieve some stress
Ohh, we was under one groove y'all (y'all)

So much love {HA?} between North and West

Chorus:

Go back in the day
British Knights and gold chains
Do the prep and cabbage patch

And wear your laces all fat
Back in the day, hey hey
Hip-Hop has chaaaanged



Remember when we used to battle? (uh-huh)

On the block {HA?} before the lights came on
Ohh! Mama said we would be straight A kids (c'mon)
If we did our homework, like we knew those songs

Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim, and P.E. {HA?}
D.M.C, and Heavy D
Yes! Daddy Kane, Slick Rick too (oh-OOH!)

MC Lyte ("Paper Thin") opened, doors for you and me, c'mon

Chorus



Young! J. Bizzy, let's do it again ^!$$%

Grew up the way it oughta be
From day KRS-One all the way up to "Nineteen Naughty Three"
To M.O.P., we "Cold as Ice"

^!$$% we rock it from the "Dre Day" to the Suge Knight
So $#&@ Chuck Phillips and Bill O'Reilly
If they try to stop hip-hop, we all gon' rally ^!$$%

Post Biggie and 'Pac I gotta hold down the city
Make a ^!$$% wanna 'holla' like Missy, but $#&@ it
Just let a ^!$$% MC

The best rapper alive, unquestionably
If you rip on your +EP+ you gonna need an +MD+
So "You Gots to Chill" cause I "Kill at Will"

like solid water dude; y'all ^!$$%z don't get it
"Kill at Will," solid water? Ice Cube
Ha ha, that's how hip-hop has evolved

Jay-Z's for President, I'm namin Ra as the National God



Me and Jigga, Jigga J-J-Jay-Hova
I rocks the mic right whether I'm pissy drunk or sober
Misdemeanor fo'-finger ringer I'm stupid FRESH

I've been hot since LL rocked the Kangol HAT
Yes yes, the yes yes, the yes y'alln
C'mon... AW YEA, AW YEA

Okay, me, that ^!$$% Jigga, fresh dressed in the mornin
C'mon... AW YEA, AW YEA

Chorus




I wanna, go back in, time (let's go)
Feels like I, I wanna, go back in, time
Feels like I (Y'all remember "Self Destruction"?)

I wanna, go back in, time
(Where all the rap artists got on a record together?)
Feels like I, I wanna, go back in, time
(I used to love them days, no tension, let's go!!)


Chorus
