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
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
When I was young I only wanted to be black
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax
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
When I was young I only wanted to be black
And I would have paid to wear what I want and still relax
And everyone at the time
Was only classic then, only classic then
And everyone at this time
Is only classic now, only classic now
