Intro (Nas & Louey):
Everybody!
Uh, I gotta do it like...this, yeah
Verse 1: Louey
Yo enie, meanie, miney, mo, the competition gotta go
And if they don't speak English, I tell them adios!
I got the safety off, I'm ready to kill all of y'all
They solidified as kittens if they ain't my dawgs
Feeling like the illest nigga living on the planet
Man, I'm too fly, it's like I'm never ever landing
I do it for a reason 'cause I know you can't stand it
And I see you taking shots, but it's like your gun jammin'
Hip-Hop is dead, well I'm the one to resurrect the shit
New York, New York, I'm the one to represent the shit
From the old heads to the youngin's, they respect the shit
Since '93, I been recking shit
I'm going All The Way Up 'cause Sky's The Limit
Still so humble crusin' in my Honda Civic
I ain't throwing shade but I'm rapping what I'm living
Bars hit harder than a lesson full of physics, let's get it
Ugh
Chorus:
Back in the days, when I was young, I’m not a kid anymore
Some days ain't like the ones that I was living before
Some days I'm reminiscing and
It make a nigga really wish he was a kid again, ayo
Back in the days, when I was young, I’m not a kid anymore
Some days ain't like the ones that I was living before
Some days I'm reminiscing and
It make a nigga really wish he was a kid again

Verse 2: Oscar O'Neill
You on point, dawg?
All the time, my nigga
So what’s poppin’? What’s on your mind, my nigga?
I'm thinking I should be happy that I'm breathing, yep
I'm trying to shake the devil, I'm exorcising my demons
Straight up, shit is real and any day could be your last, my nigga
Life's too short to dwell in the past
But when it comes to this rap shit, I’m a genius, right?
'cause everybody looking at me like I'm Jesus Christ, he’s just nice!
I had good enough people tell me I ain’t good enough
The hood told me I ain't hood enough
So I disregard that, I cop a new fitted
Rest in peace to my haters, yeah, I told them good riddance
All of the chit-chatter's getting a little ridiculous
Made it past 21, now serendipity's limitless
It’s goodbye for now, the time we spent was stellar
Queens Get The Money, yeah, I’m reppin’ forever, let’s go
Chorus:
Back in the days, when I was young, I’m not a kid anymore
Some days ain't like the ones that I was living before
Some days I'm reminiscing and
It make a nigga really wish he was a kid again, ayo
