Thundamentals - Ankle Biters lyrics

Lemme bring you back
I bring you back right now
I bring you back, sit your ass right down
I bring you back
Lemme bring you back right now for you

No one could settle disputes
In my terrible twos to tell the truth I
Wouldn't even level witchu
Indeed, me, me, me was a general rule
Mum was like, "Please, I need
Sleep, I'm beggin' you, dude"
She'd do anything to get me to snooze
Fed me alphabet soup or vegetable stew
Inedible goop, you can bet I refused
'Cause the spew was inevitable, yeah
And while dad was watchin' Rocky films
Picture me wit' a box of buildin' blocks
Slobberin' on orange peels
Schemin', what's the deal? Need
My bottle filled, i’d speak to Dr phil


But, I couldn't reach the hospital
Till chickenpox got me ill
And you can bet I got lots of thrills
Popsicles, lollipops all up in
This toddlers grills
Redskins were rocket fuel
Milko's were optional
You could buy a Python for
Less than a dollar bill

Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)
Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)

Before your internet bandwidth
I was on the block
Tryna be the best baddest BMX bandit
Ridin' no handed, tryna chuck a wheelie
Vibin', hopin' that the fuzz didn't see me
Mums was a genie, whippin' up the illest food
(Ye huh) but she would never let us eat
It in the living room
We spent summers in the
Next door swimmin' pool
Dive bombin’ suckers like, "Move! gimme room"
Playin' cricket in the driveway
But, if you scratched dad's whip
You were bound to catch a tirade (Ah shit)
Me and my mates flippin'
Off the neighbourhood jocks
We had it locked like the Neighbourhood Watch
But nowadays the neighbourhood's hot
Kids dump a couple of pills
Shit, I was trill with a Bubble O' Bill
A bag of marbles, fans of the monkey magic
You couldn't imagine all the fun we had
We take it

Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)
Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)

Ninja Turtles was the bomb and
Shredder was the shit
Little Athletics hit a hundred-meter sprint
Scooby was the dude
And we were droppin' Bomberman
Mortal Kombat, FIFA Soccer was the jam, Shaq
Was the man in the picture
Sittin' on my mantlepiece (yeah, yeah)
With a couple 411 magazines, yo
Kickies in the cardboard
Ollies over Coke cans
Ridin' 'round the block mad stoked
To have no plans

As a kid after school
This is how we might do (Tell 'em)
Buzzin' with my cousin playin'
Street Fighter 2 (yeah)
With the shell suit's and undercut
Some sported mullets (Suckers)
Basketball trading cards, Jordan was wanted
Jorski was blunted, but we never watched MASH
Mike Jack's "Thriller" clip had
The city on smash
Bill Murray Ghostbustin', Indiana Jones and
WWF reppin' Hulk Hogan

Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)
Back in the day I was happy to say
That I loved getting carried away
Back in the day (Back, back in the day)
Back in the day
(Doo-wop, Back in the days y'all)

"I remember I was just just like you"
"Back in the days"
"I remember I was just just like you"
"Smokin' blunts w-" "Back in back in back in
Back in the days"
