[Intro: Instrumental] (8-12 seconds: Turntable scratches, funky bassline, sampled kids’ chant “Oi, oi!” fading into a boom-bap drum kick) Yo, yo, yo, it’s the 90s vibe, UK kids, let’s ride, Council estates, playground games, we nationwide! Grab your Walkman, lace them Reeboks, let’s go, Back in the day, this how we flow! [Verse 1] Kerby on the curb, yo, we kick that ball precise, Across the street, dodgin’ cars, we rollin’ no dice, British Bulldog in the yard, we runnin’ wild and free, Tackle hard, laugh it off, that’s how it’s meant to be. Hopscotch on the pavement, chalk lines in the sun, Jumpin’ squares, double steps, yo, we ain’t never done, Marbles in the circle, flick that cat’s eye clean, Tradin’ glass for the shiny ones, livin’ the 90s dream. [Break 1: Instrumental] (4-6 seconds: Bass drops out, hi-hats and snares roll, retro synth stab, Tamagotchi beep sound) [Chorus] We 90s kids, runnin’ free on the block, Shell suits swishin’, Reeboks tickin’ like a clock, Pogs and Pokémon, yo, we tradin’ in the street, British kids, 90s life, man, this vibe can’t be beat! [Verse 2] Pogs in my pocket, stackin’ slammers, I’m the champ, Cardboard discs, heavy hits, lightin’ up the ramp, Tamagotchi beeping, gotta feed it on the low, If it dies, I’m cryin’ hard, restart and let it grow. Yo-yos spinnin’ tricks, Walk the Dog, Around the World, Super Soaker wars, we soakin’ boys and girls, Furbies talkin’ crazy, Beanie Babies in a stack, Pokémon cards, holographic Charizard, bring it back! [Break 2: Instrumental] (4-6 seconds: Chopped vocal sample “Spice up your life!”, heavy kick drum, vinyl crackle) [Verse 3] Shell suits zippin’, tie-dye tees, we lookin’ fly, Bucket hats and scrunchies, Reebok Classics ridin’ high, Knock Down Ginger, hit the door, then sprint with no regret, Laughin’ as we duck and hide, the thrill we won’t forget. Corner shop runs, 10p sweets, grab a Curly Wurly, Byker Grove on the telly, Ant and Dec, we watchin’ early, Walkman blarin’ Oasis, Spice Girls on repeat, Panini stickers tradin’, make the album complete. [Chorus] We 90s kids, runnin’ free on the block, Shell suits swishin’, Reeboks tickin’ like a clock, Pogs and Pokémon, yo, we tradin’ in the street, British kids, 90s life, man, this vibe can’t be beat! [Outro: Instrumental] (10-15 seconds: Bike bell rings, kids’ laughter, faint Walkman static, beat slows and fades) Yo, 90s kids, we holdin’ it down, Council estate dreams, from the playground to the town, One last shout, for the games and the toys, British 90s forever, that’s the sound of our noise!
