"Back in the Day" by Nachi "the poet" Aguboshim
Back in the day when it was all so plain to see
That there wasn't any differences between you and me
The issue of religion and colour, never crossed our minds
As we craved to explore every corner and new friendships for us to find
In Primary school lunch and "Nap-Time", the highlights of our day
Never truly listening to what the teachers would say
The weekends never came quickly, so we embraced it when it reached our path
Be it Knock-Down Ginger or Pat-Ball, memories so close to our hearts
Water fights at Burgess Park, or even football at the Astro-turf
Falling down and getting straight up, we never really got hurt
Remember that cute girl Melissa? The one from around your way
And that time you closed in to kiss her, it was clear she didn't want to play
2pm on a Saturday the Ice Cream Man's music would blaze all around the hood
Knowing you would only get that £1 if your mum thought you were good
When the street light finally came on, so did that scream from mummy's mouth:
"Playtime is over so get back in the house!"
