🎤 FULL LYRICS: (Intro – Soft keys + light crackle FX) 🎙️ "Back in the day, man… We thought forever was real short. Still do." (Verse 1) Back in the day when the sun felt warm, Didn’t know stress, just stayed in form. Skate shoes, baggy jeans, speakers torn, Dreamin’ big in a mind not yet worn. Writing bars in my schoolbook dreams, Back then, life was low on screens. We ain't know pain, we just knew the scene — Sneakin’ out late like movie teens. (Hook – Mac Style Flow) 🎶 Back in the day, we had no plan, Just beats and dreams in an open hand. Back in the day, I felt so free, Didn’t know the world had plans for me. Back in the day, we just lived slow, Now it’s all fast and we miss the glow. But I hold that flame in every lane — ‘Cause back in the day… I still remain. 🎶 (Verse 2 – Reflective) Walkin’ through life in some thrifted kicks, Tried to fix hearts with a bag of tricks. Some left, some stayed, some grew wings, Some days I cry for the simplest things. Mac told me, “Don’t trip on the fall,” Even broken beats can still stand tall. So I paint these words on D&B walls, Back in the day — I had it all. (Bridge – Vocoder Echo) 🎙️ "Back in the day… We laughed more than we cried. That’s the part I miss." (Final Chorus – Liquid Soul Drop) 🎶 Back in the day, I felt that peace, Now I spit truth over breakbeat grease. Back in the day, no mask, just me, Now I write stars in my melody. Back in the day, we danced in rain, Didn’t fear loss, didn’t know pain. But I smile through all that’s gone astray — Still got love from… back in the day. 🎶
