Mum cooked me jollof rice Sis told me I look nice The holidays of December times with the family, that was good times It was VHS before Netflix Before DVD's with the breakfast Before my ex told me take the exit, watching Jim Iyke love an actress Most painful part about growing up is my parents really getting older now My mum was blessed with my dad, is this bad chick gonna hold me down Cause as we grew older the shit got realer Back when they told me I was a born sinner Wasn't born sinning, just bop chilling next to mum Watching this African magic Who knew all my niggas will turn into addict and fiends Tragic it seems Thinking this Benz This range would bring us this happiness and the ease that the happiness brings If I get it I'ma really know Almost lost my homie in his city though He was born to win, born to ride Bonafide Ph city up in waterside Killing, homicides Where niggas never let a dollar slide Chilling on the side yeah Two shots in the club tonight yeah Two shots he was on his side yeah Where I'm from ain't no paramedics on the streets, only leriq on the beats Beggars on the streets, no prosthetics on their feet, the corners where they piss Why I wanna go back in the time like konno All I ever want was kicks and polo All I ever need was sweets and zobo Treats and yo-yo, gist and noodle When mum cooked me jollof rice and all the homies was nice Now it's all about checks on they checklist and checks on the nikes, Nice Back when you could just rap on the track with the passion And pack all the platinum plaques Like back when you could just rock all black like batman Tryna take it back like back when back when Mum cooked me jollof rice Sis told me I look nice The holidays of December times with the family, that was good times It was VHS before Netflix Before DVD's with the breakfast Before my ex told me take the exit, watching Jim Iyke love an actress Like back in the day, back in the day Yeah, back in the day, back in the day Yeah, back in the day, yeah, back in the day 'Cause back in the day, back in the day Yeah back in the day, back in the day Back in the Back in the day her role model was Liz Benson Now it's only models in Benz's Don't you know this life is expensive Don't you know you might lose your friendships And we used to talk when you used to call, now it's comments and mentions That you scroll through You call me old school Like I should find it offensive But there was a time everything had been timeless Now we look ahead, while we forget bout everything that's behind us I'm talking bout the very thing that defines us The bigger our problems, the faster we grow The present won't last, but the past never goes Back in the day When we all used to play And just kick it and we didn't have all these goals Just dreams we thought were all just dreams Don't you remember how we used to keep in touch before touch screens And share the deepest stuff, but now it's just memes People talk and so trust seems Next to nothing I get stressed too often God I hope that I don't take a step too sudden I can't go back And I can't just press a button To when mum cooked me jollof rice Sis told me I look nice It was all it took for me to love life To find happiness in the rough times Before skinny jeans, before inventions Like TV screens in four dimensions I needed more than the attention Before all of my adventures Tell me you remember Back in the day, back in the day Back in the day, back in the day Back in the day, back in the day Tell you remember It's P, Dimeji Yeah, back in the day, back in the day Mama I love you, mama I love you Mama, I miss you mum
