Secret Rendezvous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baggy pants, shades on, chilling with your friends at the basketball court
Smoking something, wearing Nikes you probably couldn't afford
But you looked like a king and you knew I was watching you
See I was never a cool kid
Vintage clothes, always humming something with my headphones on
I tried to fit in but I guess it was different then
And so we meet again
I ain't gonna lie
The thought had crossed my mind
What if we tried again
After all this time
We still got that vibe like
Back in the day
Cruising down the city
Playing Tupac & Brandy
If you want then maybe
We can kick it like
Back in the day
Late night on the street
Sipping on Bacardi
Take me back to the 90's
And let's kick it like
That day in mid-September
Not sure if you remember
But you took me to the movies
And though it was innocent
I bet you didn't realize right then and there
It would set the tone for what's to come
By now you probably had your fair share of heartbreak
Honestly I thought I was never gonna see you again
But ever since 99 each summer time
I reminisce about you and me back in the day
And so we meet again
I ain't gonna lie
The thought had crossed my mind
What if we tried again
After all this time
We still got that vibe like
Back in the day
Cruising down the city
Playing Tupac & Brandy
If you want then maybe
We can kick it like
Back in the day
Late night on the street
Sipping on Bacardi
Take me back to the 90's
And let's kick it like
Kick it like kick like
Back in the day
I ain't gonna lie baby
Kick it like kick like
Back in the day
We still got that vibe like
Back in the day
Cruising down the city
Playing Tupac & Brandy
If you want then maybe
We can kick it like
Back in the day
Late night on the street
Sipping on Bacardi
Take me back to the 90's
And let's kick it like
"Back in the Day" by Secret Rendezvous is a nostalgic song that speaks of rekindling love from the past. The song describes two people who met a long time ago during their younger years. The first verse tells the story of the boy who was one of the cool kids. He exuded confidence as he hung out with his friends at the basketball court, smoking and wearing expensive Nikes. On the other hand, the second verse talks about the girl who was not exactly part of the cool kids. She wore vintage clothes and always had her headphones on, humming to some music. Despite their differences, the boy's smile made her feel like a queen.
The chorus talks about how they want to relive their past memories. The lyrics evoke a 90's nostalgia feeling as they drive around town listening to Tupac and Brandy, sipping on Bacardi. The song's bridge recalls a specific moment when the boy took the girl to the movies. Even though it was innocent, it set the tone for what has been lingering in both of their minds. Through the years, they both have gone through heartbreaks, but every summer, they think about the "what if's" and "could have been's" of their past relationship. The song ends with them agreeing to give their relationship a second chance and kicking it like "Back in the Day."
Line by Line Meaning
You were one of the cool kids
You were part of the popular group
Baggy pants, shades on, chilling with your friends at the basketball court
You were dressed in loose clothes, sunglasses, hanging out with your friends in the basketball court
Smoking something, wearing Nikes you probably couldn't afford
You were smoking something and wearing expensive Nikes
But you looked like a king and you knew I was watching you
You appeared confident and stylish, and you were aware that I was observing you
See I was never a cool kid
I was never popular
Vintage clothes, always humming something with my headphones on
I liked wearing classic clothes and always listened to music with my headphones on
I tried to fit in but I guess it was different then
I attempted to belong, but it was not possible then
Though you made me feel like a queen when I saw you smile at me
You made me feel special and flattered when you smiled at me
And so we meet again
We are encountering each other once more
I ain't gonna lie
I'm genuinely telling the truth
The thought had crossed my mind
I had contemplated the possibility
What if we tried again
What if we gave it another shot
After all this time
Despite the passage of time
We still got that vibe like
We still possess that connection like
Back in the day
In the past
Cruising down the city
Driving around the city
Playing Tupac & Brandy
Listening to Tupac & Brandy music
If you want then maybe
If you're willing, possibly
Late night on the street
In the middle of the night on the road
Sipping on Bacardi
Drinking Bacardi alcohol
Take me back to the 90's
Bring me back to the 1990s
And let's kick it like
And let's hang out like
Kick it like kick like
Let's spend time together
I ain't gonna lie baby
I'm not lying, baby
We still got that vibe like
We still have that connection like
