Back in the Day (Puff) Lyrics

(2x)Back in the day when things were cool
All we needed was bop ba ba ba ba ba da -
Oh bop ba ba ba ba ba da - well well well

Soul flower take me flying with you - hey

Just gimmie' that bop ba ba ba ba ba da - hey
gimme some of dat - well well well

Back in the day when things were cool
We used to meet up with these dudes
Then we rolled out on Vogues and trues
Then we would ride around the park
'till its after dark
bump in the trunk with the windows
rolled up - PUFF! --- well well well

(2x)Back in the day when things were cool- hey
all we needed was bop ba ba ba ba ba da
oh bop ba ba ba ba ba da - well well well

Soul flower take me flying with you - hey

Just gimmie that bo ba ba ba ba ba do
gimme some of dat bo ba ba ba ba ba do - well

(3x) Laughing and sing'n jammin and
talk'n
And bump it the trunk with the windows
Rolled up - PUFF! ... well, well well

(3x)Then we would ride around the
Park 'till its after dark
When we got home hope the dog don't bark
Bark - PUFF!... well well well
(background) soul flower take me flying with you
puff repeated (12x)

what a beautiful song

This is about smoking!

This song is about how music can be your drug. You can escape and bring yourself to a high through soul music. "Back in the day" you didnt sneak out at night to smoke or to hang with boys; you snuck out to have fun and listen to music. However, thats just how i interpret the song. Its a great song

"Just gimmie' that bop ba ba ba ba ba da" ... fiending for music

puff=pot so it's pretty clear

Cover art for Back in the Day (Puff) lyrics by Erykah Badu

LOL yeah I think this song is about smoking!!! Just because of the (PUFF) ( with the windows rolled up) (When we got home hope the dog dont bark)Dogs have a strong sense of smell especially when it comes to weed so you do the math. This is just my opinion. No facts!

I don't think it is a song focused ABOUT pot.

I think she is trying to say back when she was younger, she could just go to the park and smoke, yeah, pot with some friends and they could laugh and have a good old time and all she really had to worry about is the dog barking and waking people up when she got home. Nowadays going to the park on your own is dangerous and cruising around smoking pot can lead to more dangerous things and intentions nowadays are not so innocent and fun-loving anymore. Now there are a lot more things to worry about when you want to just have a good time, and nothing is just so innocent anymore that you can just get high and have fun off the herb, and she misses "back in the day" when things were not so dangerous, and cool.
