I Miss Them Days
[Intro]
Hey so what y'all want for Christmas
A what?
Boy didn't you get that last year?
And what else? *laughter* Yeah, all right
[Verse 1]
Back in '74
Or '75
Reminiscin' how mom and daddy used to get live
Party at the house and it's no surprise (toasty)
Mommy cookin' food, daddy gettin' high (smokin')
Waitin' for the holiday to come around
Cuz everybody comin' over so it's time to clown
Food and drink so it's goin' down
I'm dancin' around
I got the, heh, got the James Brown (How old are you?)
I'm only two
The life of the party
I'm doin' what it do
I'm actin' too grown with the two-tone outfit
With the fly kicks
Hair parted, side split
I make the grown-ups laugh as I party like a muhfucka showin' my ass
Then everybody hit the dance flo'
Even grandmama did the bump while she was holdin' that glass
[Chorus]
I miss the days of the past
I often think back while I roll a big bad
Smoke it up, sippin' on that glass
I look at my kids
Dance and act a fool and think déjà vu
These boys do the same thing I did too
And the sign is true
I don't care who listenin'
I thank God that we made it to another Christmas

[Verse 2]
How many times of the year do you get to see your family and spread good cheer?
I remember doin' too much
Thought I grabbed a fruit punch but I was drinkin' beer
I'm goin' full speed cuz I gotta buzz
I'm thinkin' “what was that”
Went and sat, mama laughed
Ha I deserved every part of that
Hard-headed light-skinned boy, that Obama black
Now I'm full grown, where the drama at?
But I seen the whole world like the almanac
I missed all of that
And if I could I would reach in my pocket, throw a flag, and call it back
Man I miss them days
No clothes all toys on Christmas days
N***as really spread joy on them Christmas days
But I spent them days not knowing I'd never get them days back
[Chorus]
I miss the days of the past
I often think back while I roll a big bad
Smoke it up, sippin' on that glass
I look at my kids
Dance and act a fool and think déjà vu
These boys do the same thing I did too
And the sign is true
I don't care who listenin'
I thank God that we made it to another Christmas
