Younger Days Songtext

von Wyclef Jean

Hip-hop Amadeus
Signed for this
Paid for this

Hey, hey, hey

Long after the fame
Long after the fortune
This what I come to realise

When Madison Square Garden no longer screams for me
When the record company don't send no limos for me
And the young girls
They think that I'm too old

I know I'll be okay when I think of the young days
The young days
With a mic and a guitar I used to wreck it on any stage
Any State
From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here
With the big neon lights whenever we came through
People pushing through like they don't know what to do
Bouncers screaming "Hey, hey, hey"

Ain't no pushing, to the back of the line
Don't you know
Everybody's bound to get in
Wait your turn
Ticket-holders are first on the line
But it made me feel special when
A hundred kids just rushed that door
Ignored what the bouncer said
Ran through the club screaming "Cleff"
You know it made me feel special when they said "DJ play this request"
All right

Thinking of my younger, rowdy days

All my people say

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

When I look in the sky that's the only stars I see
I go through Brooklyn with no security
And on the Billboards I'm no longer number one

I know I'll be okay when I think of the young days
The young days
With a mic and a guitar I used to wreck it on any stage
Any state
From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here
With the big neon lights whenever we came through
People pushing through like they don't know what to do
Bouncers screaming "Hey, hey, hey"

Ain't no pushing, to the back of the line
Don't you know
Everybody's bound to get in
Wait your turn
Ticket-holders are first on the line
But it made me feel special when
A hundred kids just rushed that door
Ignored what the bouncer said
Ran through the club screaming "Cleff"
You know it made me feel special when they said "DJ play this request"
All right

Thinking of my younger, rowdy days

All my people say

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

I know I'll be okay when I think of the young days
The young days
Turntables and a mic I used to wreck it on any stage
Any State
From the Hood to the suburb to you feeling me here
With the big neon lights whenever we came through
People pushing through like they don't know what to do
Bouncers screaming "Hey, hey, hey"

Ain't no pushing, to the back of the line
Don't you know
Everybody's bound to get in
Wait your turn
Ticket-holders are first on the line
But it made me feel special when
A hundred kids just rushed that door
Ignored what the bouncer said
Ran through the club screaming "Cleff"
You know it made me feel special when they said "DJ play this request"
All right

Thinking of my younger, rowdy days

All my people say

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door

Hey hey hey

Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
Bum-rush the door we bout to bum-rush the door
