If I could go back in time
I would be a b-boy
If I could go back in time, I would be I would be

If I could go back in time
I would be a b-boy
If I could go back in time, I would be I would be

I know some b-boys who speak Arabic
Vietnamese too and some Spanish
I know some b-boys who are Québécois
First Nations too like the Nehiyaw
And they all know about Kool Herc
Latinos in the Bronx doing footwork
Black people gave us all of that
Coined Hip-Hop and put it on the map

It’s a culture that’s a know fact
We gotta love it and then love them back
You see the mainstream that’s commodified?
You can’t sell something that’s mythologized
Raw flavour that’s the bottom line
It can’t be bought or sold or taught online

I know this b-boy does the grass step
Mixes with his tops it looks mad fresh
I know this B-girl with the fancy Shawl
Step into the cypher with the yes, yes y’all
And I saw this one kid she was getting down
Doing a battle round for every sun she’d travelled ‘round
Taking on fully grown OGs
And she busted out the burns and the shoulder freeze
Don’t let society lie to you
Inside the cypher you will find your truth
So when I rhyme to you, I pass the fire too
I’m a b-boy now i’ll be one ‘till my time is through but

That ‘aint now, that ‘aint now
Take the time machine to the battle ground
That ‘aint now, that ‘aint now
Take the time machine to the battle ground

If I could go back in time
I would be a b-boy
If I could go back in time, I would be I would be

If I could go back in time
I would be a b-boy
If I could go back in time, I would be I would be
