Jessie Chambers - American Daze lyrics

Verse 1 I was raised in them days with the boxed up Chevys Socks with the flip-flops Tank tops with the long T's real heavy Yeah white like Betty All good like spaghetti Yeah we thought we was hard in charge and ready High school days was females and fades Had to keep a fresh cut, the edge real straight Young dudes coming out the hills We was cool Had no direction expecting to act a fool And had a routine, that's the way we'd do things Make sure the shoes clean, creased blue jeans Catch a ride with ya homey to the school scene Cafeteria free lunch was our food see It was cool though, and after school bro We would hit the courts hard homey u know That's the way we used to do it time flew though After graduation it was brand new though Chorus Running round streets all day Looking for a place to play Barely getting minimum wage They say it's the American way American Daze Hip-hop in the deck when I drive Show your homey clean rims on a ride Who got the biggest system inside Hear the ba** when the car drive by American Daze Verse 2 Graduated high school Look at how the time move Some went to college, some ran the streets like other dudes We tryna find our way and no don't wanna lose Momma tryna tell me but I wanna choose Knocking all the wisdom wanna pay my dues But things is changing fast No time to play the blues Better find a pa**ion get a job and cruise My homies either smoking that or drinking booze I need another point of view to pa** the mood American days, American youth Snap a picture of the times like a photo booth Thought your boys' ul always be there then they gone poof Relationships is ancient like a phone booth Old friends either locked up or gone shoot I'm steady praying there's a better way Looking for a better day A finer way of living, Truth Chorus Running round streets all day Looking for a place to play Barely getting minimum wage They say it's the American way American Daze Hip-hop in the deck when I drive Show your homey clean rims on a ride Who got the biggest system inside Hear the ba** when the car drive by American Daze Bridge We're on our way
