Good ol’ times

(Yeah… uh)

Back when life was simple (uh-huh), no chains, no screens,

Just dreams, the crew, and the sound of the beats (that real).

90s raised me, forever I claim,

Legends in my speakers, can’t forget the name (let’s go).

I grew up on Pac (uh), B.I.G. holdin’ it down (Biggie!),

Scarface wisdom (yeah), OG of the town.

Bone Thugs harmony, flowin’ fast with the soul (thuggish ruggish),

KC & JoJo taught us love made us whole (real love).

Boyz II Men smooth, every heartbreak we sang (harmonize),

From the corner to the block, you could hear that slang.

No TikTok feeds, just a ball and a rim (shoot it!),

Streetlights flicker, that’s when the night begins (whoo!).

(Background harmonies: “Good ol’ times… good ol’ times… ohhh”)

🎶 Good ol’ times (yeah), forever in my heart (in my heart),

Back before the world tried to tear us apart (tear us apart).

We were outside (outside), chasin’ the night (the night),

Only came inside (inside), when MJ took flight (he took flight). 🎶

Neighbors on the porch (yeah), block party in June,

Boom box bumpin’, that summertime tune (uh-huh).

Cassette tapes spinnin’, had to rewind slow (rewind!),

Waitin’ on the radio to play my show.

We rode bikes till the wheels fell off (skrrt),

Laughin’ with the crew, no fear, no loss.

Now the screens got us trapped, but I still hold strong (I hold on),

‘Cause the good ol’ times still play in my song (forever).

(Background harmonies: “Good ol’ times… stay on my mind… ohhh”)

🎶 Good ol’ times (yeah), they stay on my mind (on my mind),

When love was real (real), and the days felt kind (so kind).

We were outside (outside), livin’ that life (that life),

And only came home (home), when MJ took flight (whoo, he took flight). 🎶

*(Background vocals swelling: “Before the phones… before the screens… before the lies…”) *

🎶 Before the smartphones (before), before the lies,

We had real truth (truth), in each other’s eyes (each other’s eyes).

Laughin’ with the homies (laughin’), till the night was gone (night was gone),

Now I still feel it (feel it), every time I hear that song (ohhhh). 🎶

Pac in my veins (Pac!), B.I.G. in my rhyme (Biggie!),

Scarface taught hustle (hustle), Bone Thugs kept time (time).

KC & JoJo (yeah), Boyz II Men’s soul (soul),

Good ol’ times (good ol’ times), forever make me whole (whole, yeah).
