[KJ-52] Back in the day when I was a teenager Before I had status and a two way pager You could find KJ listenin' to hip hop Blastin' it so loud my parents were like "turn it off" I used to rock turtlenecks wit MC Hammer pants Watch Yo MTV raps jus' to check out the lastest dance I did the runnin' man, they said not bad for a white man I said I'm not really white, I jus' really need a tan I used to write the girlies numbers down upon my hand And I didn't go nowhere wit out my tapes and walkman Rollin' up the bottom of my pants as tight as I can And I'm up late at night talkin' to my girlfriend and [Chorus] Back in the day I was so cool [I was so cool] Back in the day I was so cool [The coolest one in school] Back in the day I was so cool [Well I cant lie to you] Back in the day I was so cool [I was a nerdy little dude] [KJ-52] Back in the day when I was a teenager I wanted lines in my eyebrows so I took a razor But I messed up and accidentally I just shaved the Whole eyebrow off I was like, "I'm goin' crazy" See it was jus' tough jus' growin' up in the 80's But for me it was rough cause no girls would ever date me All the ladies I asked out was like... "well, maybe" You're okay, but you're no Patrick Swayze Unfortunately I think that all my teachers hated me Cause I sit in the back makin' noises like I'm crazy Ahhh... but its all gravvy In third period today I asked out this lady Got the paper out got the pencil now whoops here I go Will you go out wit me, check yes or no I'm feelin all slick when I handed her the note I told you 10 times already no, now leave me alone [Chorus] [KJ-52] Back in the day when I was a teenager I was only fifteen when I jus' met my Savior And he came in straight in my heart and jus' changed the Way the used to live in all my ill behavior See its amazin' to see my life that I jus' gave ya So amazin' to me Jesus Christ you became the Savior to me and I ain't never been the same the Way I would be back in the day it would amaze ya But the change that I see it was done in a major Way that would be so that all I can do is thank ya And everyday jus' for me is a new day to praise ya Cause you came jus' to be all I need and you jus' made a way for Me too see so I broke it down for you Now I'm a take ya back in the day kind of like this dude.. [Chorus]
