[Verse]
I had a Walkman strapped to my hip
Rewindin' tapes just to catch that hit
Every block was a new adventure
No maps
Back when we had dreams tucked in our naps
[Chorus]
Back in the day
We were kings of the street
No throne
No crown
Just sneakers on our feet
Back in the day
Life was sweet and wild
We were broke
We were free
We were every bit alive
[Verse 2]
We hit the arcade with a pocket of change
The glow of the screens felt like something strange
We traded mixtapes like sacred gold
Every song a secret
A story untold
[Prechorus]
Do you remember? Do you feel it too?
The summers were long
The skies were blue
[Chorus]
Back in the day
We were kings of the street
No throne
No crown
Just sneakers on our feet
Back in the day
Life was sweet and wild
We were broke
We were free
We were every bit alive
[Bridge]
Now the vinyl spins
The scratches play
Echoes of a time that won’t fade away
We didn’t know it was the best we’d see
But it’s still alive in the memories of me
