Back Then Songtext
von Pegz

Yeah, back then didnt need the buzz
Russian Alex had reebok pumps
Big Gaz had nike T dubs, everybody wanted nice sneakers
I saved up for a pair of jordans and spent all day dubbin′ tapes for walkmans
Who remembers ice T was king, flat tops were in, swatch's were bling?
I couldnt comprehend my sisters intrepity Mohawks, cherry docs, dead kennedys
Pegz memories are bonified, but perceptions change over time
Yeah, I still love cars and motorbikes, give me coconut sauce and a bowl of rice
Keep my soul alive, control the mic′s, Bruce Lee's VS Poltergeist

Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now


Duncan, trams and cops and gumbys, menzies ave was a real Jumani
Winsor flats, St Kilda junkies, steal your money like "which bank?!"
Grls didn't seem so superficial, Levi jeans and a Blue Light Disco
Lets go back when baseball caps meant racking cans, police harrasment
Star Wars street asassin, collectors porn I feed the passion
Boot legs from central station, KRS One′s revelation
Knowlegde and self preservation, fuck racism and president Reagan
Remember days when I first rappin′ cabs were black white

Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now

Everyone had humble intentions DJ Koopz had a couple of lessons
Belcrives double casets decks, Tandy mikes with the budget connections
Back then I scrubbed floors and packed shelfs and left school to get away and hang out
Phone boxes, pinball parlours, showin' off like an ignoramus
Whole crew had a crush on Tiffany, and got played like a mozart symphany
Bronx Symphomie, compton attitude, flanoulette shirts and adidas parachutes
Bomber jackets, turtle ray bans, new balance purple stained hands
Little Ben got burnt by spray cans, and I′m still hearin' verbarations

Back then didnt need the buzz
Back then hadn′t seen enough
Back then always dreaming off B-Girls in the class room steaming hot
Homeboys at the station been hard, beat box on the train, MC in the park
Gettin' chased by cops, piss in the yards
Back then I lived the meaning of art


Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now

Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
Back then wasnt easy, back then things worked out
Back then I wish you were now
