[Intro]
Tell 'em where I'm from
Not geographically
Time-wise
[Chorus]
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
Girls with the scrunchies, ribbons, and bows
The Velcro shoes and the neon clothes
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
I had a boom box with the tunes from a tape cassette
Be kind rewind that VHS
[Verse 1]
Boy, I'm from the 90s; ever heard of Light Bright?
Playin' ball hockey underneath the street lights
With my Tamagotchi and a pair of sweet Nikes
Yeah, we had computers, but they were the big type
I'm talkin' Windows 95 and a dial-up modem to get online
Couldn't talk on the phone at the same time
In the AOL chatrooms actin' fly
Because we didn't have cellphones, man, we didn't do that!
You hopped on a bike to figure out where your crews at
Find them and cruise back for a game of mini sticks
We wore Spandex; man, it was ridiculous
I never had a tablet, but I had a Game Boy
And a BMX crew rollin' in a convoy
Cards in the spokes and the pegs for doublin'
Frames decked out in the stickers from bubble gum
[Chorus]
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
Girls with the scrunchies, ribbons, and bows
The Velcro shoes and the neon clothes
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
I had a boom box with the tunes from a tape cassette
Be kind rewind that VHS
[Verse 2]
James Bond, marathon, N64
Played till our eyes hurt, then we wrapped the cords
Tech Decks, Yoyos, cap guns, Pop Rocks
Moon Shoes, Devil Sticks, Yak Baks, hopscotch
Spice Girls, Aqua, Off Spring, and Green Day
Columbia House, CDs, and eBay
Bean bag chairs were considered the norm
We collected Pepsi Points for a reward
We cut 'em outta the box, under the lid for bottles
Touchin' the covers of all the Goosebumps novels
Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Saturday cartoons, Slammers and Pogs
I would watch, The Rock call some people Jabronies
Then head to my homies to turn on the Sony
[Chorus]
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
Girls with the scrunchies, ribbons, and bows
The Velcro shoes and the neon clothes
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
I had a boom box with the tunes from a tape cassette
Be kind rewind that VHS
[Verse 3]
In my school days, man, I was learnin' the atlas
Came home at lunch for some soup and a sandwich
Fruit by the Foot now you're speakin' my language
Whoever had player one had the advantage
My glow in the dark stars lit up the ceiling
And Apollo 13 had this boy dreamin'
I would use a wooden chair as a space shuttle
Lay it down, then pretend I was Jim Lovell
Blastin' off like a real-life astronaut
Caught the bus to François' for basketball
And we got there; his Mom had the snacks ready
And in the back yard, Dad had a black Caddy
Looking back at it, time passed by so soon
Hot days with freezes and water balloons
So this tune's dedicated to the 90s kids
It's been a pleasure to stop and rewind a bit
[Chorus]
Boy, I'm from the 90s, boy, I'm from the 90s
Boy, I'm from the 90s, didn't cha know?
