I remember this song, since I was 12, since October 2014. Good old days homie :)

I also enjoyed this song, since September 2015, since I was 13, and I also enjoyed this song, since December 2015, and rapped to this song. Those we're the good old days. My childhood was good :)

Teenage life was good, and it was fun, bro :)

2015 and 2019 was good :)

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.

2012, and 2013 was good. If I was born in 1999, I'd be enjoying this song, since the summer of June 2013, and June 2018. Good times homie, good old days dude :)
