Dreamin' Of Days

1 (Shaheen):
 Back in the day, we used to love staying up late
 Now we can't sleep tryna find ways to escape
 And these days that usually consists of building a spliff up
 Or drinking till we stop thinking and drift off
 Anything to escape the feeling
 Stressful weeks played into hazy weekends
 Tryna shake the demons of wasted seasons
 A long way from younger days spent dreaming
 Of what we could be, the possibilities were endless
 Now we got responsibilities to contend with
 Chasing wrong agendas, running 'round in circles
 Living our lives, showing a lack of virtue
 Like hip-hop, far from what they claim in a verse
 It's either [ranges or merks or rays getting merked][?]
 It feels like we changed for the worse
 Wish I could go back to the best days on the earth
 (Izzy G):
 What happened to the days back then?
 When LA Gears were the latest trend
 We'd sit in the park all day
 Sipping on our lemonade
 2 (Lady Paradox):
 Back then I guess it was less complex
 Cereal and cartoons, wondering what's on next
 Now we're so far removed and it's all a contest
 And there's too much to do and worries on our chest
 Back then there was no stress listening to cassette tapes
 And lay in my house was known as the rest day
 Didn't have to think about needing to get paid
 As things rearrange I guess you learn to accept change
 Those were the best days sipping Um Bongo
 Girls in the park playing How Does the Song Go?
 Bright colored ponchos sitting in the treetops
 Wearing high knee socks with black cover freeze pops
 Nowadays I feel lost, I guess time changes
 From thinking you could be anything like Power Rangers
 Now it's all faded, friends become strangers
 We strive to escape this and who can really blame us?

 3 (Lady Paradox):
 Nowadays, I end up feeling so confused
 Don't take a lot to rock my mood
 All I've got is to consume
 I remember sitting chilling with a bowl of Fruity Loops
 My mind would be amused as I watch the Looney Tunes
 Think of something cool to do like fly in a spaceship
 Brought back to earth by the thought of a pay slip
 Used to be a crazed kid imagining great places
 Greener trees, better scenery and smiling faces
 4 (Shaheen):
 As time races, life seems less enticing
 I used to love watching WWF at night then
 Hulk Hogan got replaced by Mike Tyson
 Moved from High Tecs onto white Nikes and
 Back in the day, we used to like fighting
 That was messing around but now he might knife him
 It's quite frightening the way things changed
 I wish that they could've stayed the same

 (Lady Paradox):
 I wish we could go back to the easy times when we didn't need rhymes
 And I wish we could go back where the
 skies were bright and everything seemed nice
 Now I wish we could go back to the
 easy times when we didn't need rhymes
 And I wish we could go back, and I wish, wish, wish, wish
