lyrics

We were sitting out on the steps you know

So Time warp to 98 when these things were kinda great
Naaaa whom I kidding, I was living the life
Not a single care except for homework at night
Stuck in basic math but damnit I tried
Learned some other lessons that I rather further favor
Like Love and Heartbreak by all the notes I gave her
Made some life friends in the middle of the fun
Me and Mr. Baker, were number one
It wasn’t brunch time cause I still called it Recess
Best kind of days were the one’s we had free dress
Taste of whats to come by the bullies and the bullshit
But it’s worth the days and believe me I knew this
So I stuck it through and began the growing process
Loch ness but still shortest of the monsters
Always picked last cause I didn’t have the height
But what I didn’t have I made up in might
Always on and always picked believe I took my licks
Discovered length of strength when I got my ass kicked
Explored the neighborhood and this place I called home
A little taste of life and discovered the unknown
Made it known and this taste, I wouldn’t ever trade
GigaWATT took shots in this game I played
Muscatel Madness was my 8th grade
Sitting back now, ah those were the days

(Chorus) x3
Let’s take it back to those concrete streets
School yard daze no tricks just treats
Playground wack shit good times everlasting
Living the life and life was fantastic

So Time warp twenty zero 3 and find me
Was the new kid but now graduating
Yup senior year and not a fear to find
Fuck my GPA I just want a good time
Enough about the credits and the college to apply
I want to live this moment so I never wonder why
Why I never asked a girl to be with me and skate with me
Spend some time with me and skip complicating
All the stupid things that ends all the dating
false accusations that leads us to hating
Each other and your mother and so I skipped prom
hate to feel rejected I didn’t even ask mom
But before I knew it I’m already moving on
First day of college, what the fuck is going on
Bigger campus little man all the girls around me
Where to begin, for real overwhelming

Fuuuck im gonna be so late.
I cant believe parking really is that ridiculous
Wait, What this? class is canceled?
They really do that here? Like for real?
Yessss I'm going to the beach
I fucking love college

So now I’m here today by lessons yesterday
Schoolyard playground not only for the play
The greatest class I had was out on the blacktop
Life lessons learned even then it don’t stop
I’m learning everyday though the class room has changed
Work, Bills, Bull but the players still the same
Rearranged positions but the bullshit’s the same
We never really grow just move up the next grade

(Chorus) x3
Let’s take it back to those concrete streets
School yard daze no tricks just treats
Playground wack shit good times everlasting
Living the life and life was fantastic

Damn, I guess I never really left school now that I think about it,
But being honest though… I kinda miss it.

(Chorus)
Let’s take it back to those concrete streets
School yard daze no tricks just treats
Playground wack shit good times everlasting
Living the life and life was fantastic
