Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when
C
I miss back when
G D
I miss back when

I love my records, black, shiny vinyl

I had my favorite stations, the ones that played them all

I'm readin' street slang for dummies cause they put pop in my country

I want, more for my money, the way it was back then
