"Back in the days" in lyrics

Käärijä - Miljonääri

Back in the days, jo sillon päätin, että hillot käärin ku miljonääri (hei)
Milli-milli-milli-miljonääri, milli-mi-milli-milli-miljonääri
Back in the days, jo sillon päätin, että hillot käärin ku miljonääri (hei)

2Pac - Starin' Through My Rear View

[Khadafi]
Back in the days we hustled for sneakers and beepers
Nine-six for glocks cause fiends hittin up blocks with street sweepers

Käärijä - A Millionaire

Back in the days, back then I had already decided to rake in the money like a millionaire (hey)
Milli-milli-milli-millionaire, milli-mi-milli-milli-millionaire
Back in the days, back then I had already decided to rake in the money like a millionaire (hey)

Stray Kids - Wish You Back

You were my story
Your words come to mind endlessly
Just being able to look at it
Like a photo that will be engraved deeply in my heart

Jonghyun - 02:34

Anytime Okay I’m becoming tipsy little by little
It’s okay Okay I remember those days of childishness little by little
You and me back in the days when we knew nothing
Today I remember those days

YEBBA - Far Away

I just air it out like my hamper
Wax like the candle
Back in the days in the bando
(Back in the bando)

Movits! - Wrong part of the yard

When they did what they did back in the days
When they did what they did back in the days
Yes, when they did what they did back in the days
So Goddamn, I stood there outside..

Ronnie Flex - Little Sister

[Mr. Polska]
Girls, girls, girls, I have to be fair I do not understand you, no.
Girls girls girls, you wouldn't sit on the back of my bike back in the days, no.
Now look at your boy! With his new clothes on.

Lura - Have a Great Time

I miss my elders
I miss my close friends
from back in the days when we had fun in Achada Falcão

Ziad Rahbani - O Times of Sectarianism

Keep your hand on your ID, and hold it as firmly as you can1
See how beautiful a [Lebanese] pound was: 2
it got you from here to there3
And O times of sectarianism

  • 1. The ID card in Lebanon used to contain the holder’s religion, so it also symbolizes sectarianism here.
  • 2. Back in the days, 1 dollar was equal to 3.3 Lebanese Pounds. After the sectarian civil war, 1 dollar became equal to over 3000 Pounds then went down to 1500. So, the same pound that had some value became almost useless.
  • 3. A pound, back in the days, was really the cost one would pay for transportation (whether by taxi or metro...)

Stray Kids - Wish You Back

You were my story
Your word comes to mind endlessly
Just by being able to look at it
Like a photo that will be engraved deeply in my heart

Sleipnir - Grandfather, I miss you

And always when she mentions my grandfather, her voice becomes low and warm,
she closes her eyes and leans sleepily on my shoulder.
Back in the days, they all walked a very hard path.
And I look at the pictures framed at grandma's wall.

Negramaro - Coming back love

Coming back love
Were you to come back in the days
Don't you try to find in me what you can't remember

Happoradio - Che Guevara

For a passing while, would that bring back the rush of danger
which twisted our stomachs
back in the days
when we painted our eyes with black,1

  • 1. “Painted our eyes with black” is both a reference to the schoolyard “rebels” or outcasts using strong or unconventional makeup, such as black eyeliner (think of glam rockers, punk rockers, goths/emos and such), and a more specific reference to Stanley Kubrick’s classic film (an adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ dystopian novel) A Clockwork Orange, where the main characters are acting in a very rebellious and anti-social way and wear a very specific kind of black eye makeup. The official music video, once again, features a recognizable image of the eyes of “Alex”, the main character of the novel/film.

Nas - Shootouts

I pump a G-pack, peeping for where the D's at
It's slow, lookin' for Rambo, the cop who got grazed
Back in the days, chasin' niggas through my project maze
That cop he got a death wish

Puddle of Mudd - Psycho

You're the one, you're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho

Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun

Kollegah - Legacy (Englische Übersetzung)

And if it really was platonic in your rented city loft
Why does Dimitri Chpakov rhyme with 'kneedeep in an asshole'?
I wanted to bash you to mince back in the days,
But I was too blinded by the glistening rhinestone jacket

Mafia K'1 Fry - For those

Tho those who love real funk, I'm not talking about the Mia 1

Without a weapon, holding back tears like Kelly Joyce 2
It doesn't concern you so right now, just turn off your TV

  • 1. Referring to the iconic IAM (One of the biggest name in French rap history !) hit, Je Danse Le Mia.. by the way, you have to check it out.
  • 2. Referring to a pop song from back in the days which has this line

Juju - Bling-Bling

Need a little Bling-Bling, give me a little Bling-Bling
Yeah I think I need a little Bling-Bling
Back in the days I bought 2-euro-cigarettes, Jin Ling
Nowadays I only shop and drink, Bling-Bling

Jackson Wang - Different Game

People gon trip in the race
Never gon keep up my pace
Never get back in the days
Never get back in the maze
