From the recording Throwback
Lyrics
Throwback
Y’all remember back in the day, how we used to do? Yeah
They call us old school, we gon' be throwback's instead though
Yo y’all wanna go back with me, let's go!
(We're just throwbacks from another time) ahh yeah, alright now
(Cause we're throwbacks) whoo (in our minds)
Verse
I remember, back in the day
Before I ever hit the stage I had to learn how to play
So on my drums, rat tat tat boom
They said their ears would hurt when they heard the noise coming from my room
But mom would say, "J.K. you're gonna be great
You gotta make your mark on the music world someday"
So I went at it real hard and I learned to keep my time
I'm so glad cause now it's carried me so far past my prime
Chorus
They say I'm a throwback, ah yeah
(We're just throwbacks) a throwback (from another time)
From another time, yeah (cause we're throwbacks) throwback (in our minds)
In my mind, yeah eah eah yeah (we're just throwbacks) throwback (from another time)
From another time, yeah (cause we're throwbacks) throwback (in our minds)
Verse
Now do you remember back in the day
We were on our grind all week, when Friday came it was time to play
So at the club, but sometimes just a room
They'd dim the lights, we'd dance the night away, and you know how we'd do
The kids would say ("What dances can I do?
Lemme see, I can do the freak, the smurf, the spank the wop) Mmm (the worm, the hustle)
And we could two-step too
My boys complained "J.K. we're gonna be late (C'mon J.K., I'm tryin' ta get up in there. Wassup?)
Then we'd chill outside of the club for a while
So we'd be late, but be in style, we were throwbacks yeah
Chorus
Aw yeah (We're just throwbacks) just throwbacks (from another time)
From another time, yeah, yeah (‘cause we're throwbacks) just throwbacks (in our minds)
In- our -minds, yeah eah eah yeah (We're just throwbacks) just throwbacks (from another time)
‘Nother time, yeah yeah yeah (cause we're throwbacks) throwbacks (in our minds)
Change
We grew up together as a people, we didn't really have too much
But you wouldn't even know that
When I look around at the luxury y’all have
Good character's still hard to grow
Without there's things you won't know
That is why you can't dismiss a throwback, ahh yeah
Chorus
(We're just throwbacks) throwbacks (from another time) from another time, yeah
(‘Cause we're throwbacks) just throwbacks (in our minds) in-our-minds, yeah eah eah yeah
(We're just throwbacks) just throwbacks (from another time)
Listen, we'd chill outside of the club for a while
So we'd be late but be in style
‘Cause we're throwbacks (‘cause we're throwbacks in our minds)
In our minds, yeah eah eah yeah
(We're just throwbacks) we're just throwbacks (from another time)
