On rough streets I never could realize what was the problem/ Oh no/
Why am I getting called out this way/ I just couldn't see, my
Leather coat or who's looking at me now/ I couldn't pull it off/ To
Walk the street looking just how I would like/ With out looking left
Or right oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes
Chorus:
When I was young I only wanted to be black/ And I would have paid to
Wear what I want and still relax.
What's your plans for the night?/ Meet up at the No I'll get on my
Fixed gear/ In purple or black tights/ You're dressed just right for
Your decade true/ You're dressed just right for your age/ What used
To be a stage is just a phase now/ You're not going up through life/
It's only just like changing channels on your TV/ That's not how
It's supposed to be/ oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes...
Chorus
Post Chorus: And everyone at the time/ Was only classic then, only
Classic then/ And everyone at this time, is only classic now, only
Classic now.
What kind of accomplishment is through back?/ I was the first one to
Prefer that/ Everyone's making dance music true/ But we've been
Doing it since 2002/ So what the future don't appeal to you/ Where
No one's supposed to wear Jordan shoes/ When I was young yeah I wore
Them to school/ But I had them on only like something to lose.
You got your eyes on it now/ Your fashionable goals you could never
Make it, oh no/ Anyway who could pull it off/ When everything cast
As the future of retro/ I got beat up for my cloths oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh and it goes.
Chorus
Post chorus.
