[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]
