[Chorus: Collistar & Tempo]
It's the nineteen-nineties kid
Used to wear black Nike kicks
Used to catch that nineties bus
Now I drive it back to the bitch (yeah)
It's that track from the nineties
I used to wear black nineties
I used to catch that ninety
Now I drive it past that ninety
[Verse 1: Collistar, Tempo, Collistar & Tempo]
Back of the bus on the MP3's
Sugar rush from the 5p sweets
Talkin' Da Hardest played on repeat
Played football 'till dark in the street
Sit at home on the MSN
Had no credit to text back then
Tryin' spliffs on the one-two blem
Goin' up central LDN
TFL over BMX
See new girls, JD creps
Air force ones, so white, so fresh
G-Star jeans and a Primark vest
My mom, she made me vex
"Get home now! You make me stress!"
Now I gotta go back home
Man watch his [?] in my phone
Ahhhhhh, ninety-seven!
Back in the day, I thought I was Beckham!
FIFA, Dragon Ball Z and Tekken
Babycakes and that twenty-one seconds
Beef in parks, on streets 'till dark
Smoke weed so we was the part
Repeatedly break some hearts
We just grew up way too fast
Back then things weren't so pricey
Now it's 125 for ninety-five Nike's
105 for the nineties, Freddos are 20, used to be 5p
Now it's boot-cut jeans, no tight jeans
No XO tops, no tight tees
This one's for the kids that were born past 95
That's in the late nineties!
[Chorus: Collistar & Tempo]
It's the nineteen-nineties kid
Used to wear black Nike kicks
Used to catch that nineties bus
Now I drive it back to the bitch (yeah)
It's that track from the nineties
I used to wear black nineties
I used to catch that ninety
Now I drive it past that ninety
[Verse 2: Collistar, Tempo, Collistar & Tempo]
I was born in the nineties
But you know that the naughties raised me
Ninety-seven I was only a baby
Them times it was bigger when Jay-Z
Wouldn't hear a flow that was lazy
Wouldn't hear no mumble rap
Just them old school vibes in the jungle trap
That's back to the days of the Thundercat
Back in the day used to pump the train
We'd kick ball in the park, in the mud and rain
Tops, jeans, jumpers stained
Pass backyard on the H18
Yeah my dad got pissed if I came home late
I used to wear Kappa and Reebok
Now Stoney's keeping the team hot
Mandem cop tops off Depot
Whole swag coming off eBay
And they cop arms from TK
Ralph Lauren, AJ and CK
Shirt costs 60 just like Three Apes
Onsets might skip past like Relay
Get a few wills from the DJ
Sometimes go pub on the weekday
Still kick ball on the weekends
Saturday night in the East End
No stunting, man I don't pretend
Ta-ta-talking 'bout girls and cars
I smoke L's whilst writing bars
Soon be sixty lighting cigars
Drinking a pint at the end of the bar
I sit down watch life go past
Life that we live just moves too fast
[Chorus: Collistar & Tempo]
It's the nineteen-nineties kid
Used to wear black Nike kicks
Used to catch that nineties bus
Now I drive it back to the bitch (yeah)
It's that track from the nineties
I used to wear black nineties
I used to catch that ninety
Now I drive it past that ninety
