Back Then

(album: True Story - 2018)

Ayy
Took so many L's, so I gotta win
Ask the Lord why he take a lot of friends
Took so many L's, so I gotta win
Forty on my lap, thinking 'bout revenge
Man, this shit crazy
Keep a thirty round case they tryna play me
I'm just tryna shine so they acting shady
Get this money, girl, I gotta feed my baby
Look inside my eyes, you don't really know what I been through
I remember paranoid, looking outside my window
While my girl was asleep, I was clutching on pistols
Take a look around my gang, you know we official
I done lost so many friends, now they dead homies
Walk around with all these chains and this bread on me
Case a nigga want funk, got the lead on me
Gotta change my phone number, think the feds on me
Man, it's crazy, this lifestyle made me
And the streets is what raised me
I tell you, it's crazy
So much niggas out there hating me
Gotta keep a three-eighty

We was tryna get the dough, back then
I was mobbing with the bros, back then
We was fucking with them hoes, back then
Now a lot of niggas gone from back then
Back then, back then
Reminiscing on my memories from back then
Back then, back then
A lot of shit changed now from back then

Back then, in the hood, what a different
Do Dirt told me, "Young, you better kill 'em, fool"
Way before these blogs and these interviews
Way before this YouTube had a million views
But now my niggas all dead and they gone
Now I wish they was here, now I'm on
Sometimes wish that they could call my phone
Now I gotta put they name in a song
I can't trust nobody but my niggas deep inside
Niggas always talking like they really gon' slide
Ain't nobody do nothing when your partner die
Swear to tell the truth, seen it with my own eyes
Niggas say they keep it one hundred but it's lies
Niggas say they real, I can see through the disguise, yeah
And I'm riding for my guys
RIP, man, I know you in the sky

We was tryna get the dough, back then
I was mobbing with the bros, back then
We was fucking with them hoes, back then
Now a lot of niggas gone from back then
Back then, back then
Reminiscing on my memories from back then
Back then, back then
A lot of shit changed now from back then
