Intro (Cicero)
Yeah-eah, umm-umm, yeah-eah
yeah, yeah - yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh.


Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark,
family over, house parties,
school friends telling me, “come follow me on a bus journey”,
chillin’ at home playing old CD's, video games, colourful magazines,
early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free.


Verse One (Funky DL)
Trading Panini sticker books was Thug Life,
Nico Claesen was like the hardest to find,
Adidas Gazelles for some were the hardest to buy,
1985, Thriller was out, I’m watching Michael as a Zombie,
The Huxtables was Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad,
with five kids, money in the bank, this a facade?
Immersed in the breakin’ culture,
it’s like Turbo had us spinning on our backs,
our heads to hand-claps, Ozone,
school uniform was fresh on my first day,
my favourite television show’s every Thursday’
fist fights in many places and one we named Las Vegas,
around this time Tyson was the greatest,
The Jungle Brothers on my playlist,
headphones with red foam and cassettes tapes you had to turnover,
it was a time that slowly disappeared,
looking back on these years like another lifetime,
cos before I’d write rhymes I was…


Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, video games, staying up after dark,
family over, house parties,
school friends telling me, “come follow me on a bus journey”,
chillin’ at home playing old CD's, video games, colourful magazines,
early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free.


Verse Two (Funky DL)
On the flip-side, we older now,
obligations, responsibilities and paying tax is trying to hold us down
for some of us it’s too much, I seen friends locked up,
struggling with drugs and get shot,
lose they kids to the system, from care homes to prison,
could be a lack of wisdom, a lack of recognition,
a lack of supervision, a lack of discipline,
a lack of one parent as a participant,
I’m listening to people making facts out opinions
and nothing supersedes making money for dominion,
they want millions and millionaires want billions,
and everybody’s on the Gram with their brilliance,
like “look at me, don’t I look good?
Here’s another picture of me that I took good
and see the number in the corner increase, that mean they like me”
and all this reminds me is that it's unlikely that one day I might be…


Chorus (Cicero)
Playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark,
(ooh-ooh), family over, house parties,
school friends telling me, “come follow me on a bus journey”,
(yeah-eah), chillin’ at home playing old CD's,
(yeah-yeah), video games, colourful magazines,
early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free.
Yo’, can we take it back to?
playing in the park, (yeah), video games, staying up after dark,
family over, house parties,
school friends telling me, “come follow me on a bus journey”,
chillin’ at home playing old CD's, video games, colourful magazines,
early morning Saturday kids TV, feeling so free.


Outro (Cicero)
Playing in the park… chillin’ at home…
video games… old CD’s… feeling so free.
