Songwriters: Harman, Louise Amanda; Gottwald, Lukasz;We used to play jump the line  Or who could wrap the swing around the frame the most times  Back in the day, riding our bikes around the estate  And playin' basketball in the cage, those were the days    I remember them water fights, the tap outside  Just to race to it on our bikes  Grinnin' with two front teeth missin', we did what we like  Those days are missin', those days were alright    Knock down ginger, knock knock then shift  Two minutes later we got locked in the lift  Laughin' when we got out, got into silly arguments  About who found the pound on the ground    Bopped to the shops bought about ten ice pops  The weather was hot so they melted in our pockets  Used to carry my belongings in them McDonald's bum bags  That was back then so boy don't mock it    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I could never regret    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days    We used to race down the hill in old safe way trolleys  I wasn't indoors playing with Barbie's or dollies  I was outside jumpin' off walls or playin' football  Or getting chased by the local pit bull    The odd character that every borough had  Mad Phillip, Ginger beard or Mad Max  The places you wouldn't wanna see when you're on your jacks  In the places you wouldn't be in if you stuck to your packs  Stayed out till it was pitch black    Sprayed my name on concrete slabs  And I never got b**** slapped  Seen a couple of mans get stabbed  Been chased by the mad man, gotta get back    So I can catch joke with my next door neighbor  We played the first Mortal Kombat on the Sega  Back then playing the latest jungle tunes we had on cassette  Those were the days I will never forget    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I could never regret    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days    Remember naf naf jackets and spliffy jeans  Adidas campus, them things were in  It wasn't about the king of the bling  It was the king of the rim or the king of the swing    Back then, well, I kind has less  But less was much better 'cause it saved a lot of stress  I hung out in Coffers community center  They've knocked it down and replaced it with an Asda    My parents way of tellin' us to get our backs in  Was them sounding some old f***ing klaxon  A soldier marched back up to Radcliffe Walk  Chalk hill Estate don't exist no more, it's just talk    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I could never regret    Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days I will never forget  Yeah, yeah  Yo those were the days    Those were the days  Those were the days      © KASZ MONEY PUBLISHING; BIG LIFE MUSIC LTD.;    these lyrics are last corrected by your mother
