Best Days Lyrics - Food For Thought - Young Rome

This is a deep story, a very deep story 

The life of Young Rome, picture me 

In the hood playin' hidin'-go-get-it 

With a slingshot in my back pocket 

Just bad as hell, that's me 

Those were the best times of my life 

(I gotta give it up) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(To the greatest niggas of my life, Marques Houston) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(LDB, if I could change anythin') 

Those were the best times of my life 

(I wouldn't change nothin' at all) 

Listen up, I remember growin' up in the streets of menace 

Where the boys turned thugs, I was labeled a menace 

A little bad nigga, momma use to whip my ass 

Im playin' football on the concreted instead of the grass 

I remember meetin' Chris Stokes, Taz kicked me 

Out the whole bunch, man the whole hood had jokes 

'Til we came out with the Da Munchies 

Thats right Romeo, Batman and Half Pint 

We was the first to pull up black street and Destinys Child 

Had to replace Half Pint 'cause his parents wasn't down 

With lettin' him ride, we fasted adversity early 

Then God blessed us with LDB 

New LP, tours, freakin' girls at 13 

Young, black and missive, just livin' my dreams 

Interviews, photo shoots, young teen in zoo suits 

Hearin' grown women sayin', "They so cute" 

(Them was the days, man) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Yeah, those were) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(And I still think back on 'em) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(And it makes me feel so good) 

(But here's another chapter of my work) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Half Pint need ya'll listen to this real good) 

It felt good to see Marques go solo, I stood by his side 

His dreams was my dreams, so the love will never die 

I remember when we first met B2K 

I knew God was with us and gave us brighter days 

Seein' them grow, meant more to me then seein' them blow 

I miss hearin' Fizz callin' me big bro 

My love will never change Druex Pierre 

Im in the poof without you and I wish you was here 

It's like the game was designed to kill us 

Raz and Boog, I miss you, I hope this music can heal us 

I remember us playin' ball and wildin' out 

Shinin' together, alternatin' whips, livin' in the same house 

Tappin' chicks out on the same couch 

Never thought fame and money would take us this route 

But the good out weighed the bad, Im happy 

To see you alive and well, I ain't mad but I miss you nigga 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Yeah, those were) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(And I always had love for my niggas, no matter what) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Let's go) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Yo, this is for my niggas on the block, another chapter) 

Yo, I am not God, I cannot judge, I refuse to look down 

Upon my thugs while they push they product 

And bust slugs, I remember seein' chest bang 

And dudes, I looked up too on the block slangin' 

Tellin' me my thang is makin' the music and anythin' is bad 

For you if you abuse it, so we equivalent in the sense 

And what I learned from back in the day I hope you youngin's 

Follow my footprints, follow my footprints, follow my footprints 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Yeah, I swear to you they were) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(I just thank y'all for lettin' me) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Read a couple of chapters out the book of my life) 

Those were the best times of my 

(And they really were) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(C'mon y'all, just clap with me) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Just pray with me) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Show love with me) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Put your hands with me) 

Those were the best times of my life 

(Yeah, yeah) 

Those were the best times of my life
