lyrics

(Verse 1)
Ever since a Rugrat, wanted to make my School House Rock
Not worried about what Bump in the Night, just to make it to the top
From crawling to climbing there like a Spiderman
Be noble like Clark Kent, a Superman Ton can
Cartoons were an inspiration for life
Wanted to become a super hero and end strife
Thought I could really have a super power
Then I’d go and act it out for the next hour
Watching Power Rangers and Pinky and the Brain
Like in life they both had a bit of genius and insane
Having good times with my cousins and friends
How I wished those times would never end
At the age of 4 liking girls was something so new
“I like Pok’e’mon, can I get a peek at chu (Pik’a’chu)?”
Little playground crushes
Tell ‘em I like them, then hide in the bushes
Playing with Marvel and wrestling action figures
Toys were little but my dreams much bigger
Causing mischief in granny’s backyard
Life was so simple ‘cuz now it’s so hard
At the age of 12 began writing in my Dexter’s lab
Where I reminisce, I reminisce about the good times I’ve had

(Chorus)
Go back to the days, not a worry in the world
Young mind as precious as a pearl
Ready for adventure, take me for a swirl
Iow! the cooties, watch out for that girl

(Verse 3)
Crazy how our childhoods are so alike
And we see it now that we spit it on the mic
Growing up in Queens, some young Dominican kids
We were young so we enjoyed everything that we did
When we misbehaved we saw the sandal
So many tears it was hard to handle
Cuz our mothers were so caring
To do bad things we really weren’t daring
Except when it came to school
Where we met and we started acting a fool
Sitting in the back of the classroom talking and laughing
About cartoons and our favorite emcees rapping
Throwing paper balls and shooting them jays
Carrot eating teacher sleeping, how I miss those days
Everything back then was just so fun
That’s why to go forward you must think young
That’s why to go forward you must think young
