Party Like Back in the Day - T.K. Soul

Where were you when it happened? Where could you be found? Were you at the front of the stage? Or in the underground? From SF out to Old Bridge New York back to LA The world of metal changed forever Back in the day Well that was back in the day And if you weren't there It doesn't matter anyway Because you wouldn't understand Live to die and die to play Every day and place Leave a path of metal Across the world from stage to stage Well that was back in the day And if you weren't there It doesn't matter anyway Because you wouldn't understand In denim and leather We were all part of one force Knocked Rock and Roll on its ass And put metal on the course Higher! Higher! Higher! Higher! Back in the day You weren't there It doesn't matter Because you wouldn't understand This is our way of life A life that was born free To follow orders how to live Was never meant to be Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Peals of thunder, sheets of lighting The power hits the stage The music was exciting The mania raged Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh We all had the fever Our ears started to ring Feeding this wildfire Consuming everything Oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Metal's King back then And still is to this day Others imitate or challenge But it never goes away Oh, oh oh oh-oh

Well, hello let's start back again On the same plane, in the same pane But I'm movin, movin' in a new direction A new section with a selection of rhymes Hot to make you unwind This is time to just feel fine Well, ain't that the way it's supposed to be? Are you feeling free? And it goes Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Well, feeling free, release your inhibitions Go forth, achieve your ambitions Your goals, your aims, whatever you claim to be yours If that's the nature of this game The game is life and life's so hard Even more if you get down with the wrong card Well, play to win, don't give in 'Cause seriously, I'll tell you something It ain't no joke 'cause if you can't cope And your whole life's going up in smoke Or you're feeling down Lost and rejected And all you want to be is respected By society and the community Because ain't that the way it's supposed to be I mean feeling free And it goes Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Well, this society is sayin' what you can and can't do But in my mind as I say is that true? Like the man that they said is unemployable How could he ever live a life enjoyable? When he faked the feelings of no use After all take the abuse and shame recall the promenade How could he ever be in the right frame of mind? When his life is unkind Nobody wants to take the time to say Listen there's another way You don't have to live your life in this downtrodden way Maybe your job isn't the answer But take a look up And take a glance at the alternatives And what it has to give and put that in the way That you wanna live your life, yeah Do what you wanna do Really what you wanna do Whatever comes to you naturally I mean feeling free And it goes Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Yo, so if you ever havin' a problem Don't run and hide, come out and face it head on Because you're strong enough to win And go on to pass through the test that life has to offer And beat it with ease and be on top of the cloud All the while and when you finished that Emerge with a smile upon your face and that way We'll have a happy face and funky face for a loving race And that's being free and you all know how it goes It goes Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru Tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru, tu, ru
