Back In The Day

Back in the day, she used to be a skinny one

With chicken little legs, but she never had her hair done

Followed me all around my neighborhood

Jockin' me down, but she didn't look that good

See, I like a girl who looks good and gets G

You know the kind with no space in between and

Hypnotize with every step

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

So, hip-hoppin', be-bop-a-rockin'

She jumped into my jeep and said, "Yo, I'm jockin' ya"

She was fly and she was kickin' in the color red

I saw her father, then I turned around and I said

"With a little sun and water, maybe then you'll grow"

A little wiser and maybe then you'll know

I'm tellin' you 'cause I'm comin' correct

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

And I knew from the day when we first met

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

You see, I knew from the day when we first met

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

Back in the day, now don't you try to get me wrong

'Cause if I didn't like you, then I wouldn't put you in my song

You're kinda cute, you even really dress nice

But you're not the chick that I'll be with every night

I like a girl who's got a nice smile

Who knows who she is and keeps a low profile

And if it's you that I'm gonna select

It don't mean a damn thing unless you're with it

I'm not souped and, no, I'm not frontin'

Head's a thousand feet in the air, guitar strummin'

I want the best and I won't settle for nothin' less

She want fresh 'cause she turns around and she says

"One day, you'll see, I'll make your head spin

I'll have you lookin', then I'll have you lookin' back again"

She'll be the one that I wanna protect

'Cause the girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

And I knew from the day when we first met

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget

Yes, I knew from the day when we first met

The girl's got a smile that I'll never forget
