Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You could say it was a good day (yeah)
Fresh kicks and a new fade, uh
I've been listening to cool j
Top down in my hoopty (ayy)
Moved out to the new place
You hit me up on a two way (hey)
All denim like britney (yeah)
I pick you up for the vma's (later)

So, so, so deaf with it
I got a chick so affectionate (ayy)
I got a phone but I don't check it (uh)
We got a room, 'bout to go check in tonight (huh)

You remind me of another time
When they used to play the songs we like (used to play)
Take me back to 1999
Today was a good day
Got me singin' like la-dah, la-dee-dah-dah-dah-dah

Now we're singin' like la-dah, la-dee-dah-dah-dah-dah

And the homies 'bout to roll up (yeah)
Couple cases of corona (yeah)
And we don't ever wanna grow up, nah

So deaf with it

I got a phone but I don't check it (nah)
We got a room, 'bout to go check in tonight (yeah)

You remind me of another time

84 % This song is very cool bro
Why is the title of this song 1999 bro, not 1996 bro ❓
Is this 1999 song about the year born❓
It should be bro's song about 1996 ❓

I don't like sissies (1999),
but I like real girls (1996) : #Jennie
