That Was Backthen

[Verse 1:]
That was back then, throw it back like Thursday
Went from the worst case, now I’m feeling first place
Jersey got me that’s my birthplace
Got me getting cake no I don’t mean no birthday
Now I got a hundred thousand counting
Going hard nigga I can move a mountain
Sad thing I had to do this shit without you
Cause I thought I couldn't do this shit without you
But that was back then, this now
She be on the dick now
Now them little homies wanna take a flick now
Niggas on the internet be talking shit now
I ain’t got the time, tell them niggas sit down
I been on my grind tell then niggas sit down
And I be so high up, high up
No I don’t wanna come down

[Chorus:]
That was back then [x4]
Oh, baby there’s now [x4]

[Verse 2:]
I be still waiting on respect
From some corny niggas I don’t really fuck with
And I be still waiting on the bitch
That I probably ain’t even get the bucks with
And I be still struggling with the niggas
On the block that I fell outta touch with
And at the end a limo, get the memo
It’s the same niggas that I caught the bus with
Riding with same young niggas
I be in the club and that’s who I flex with
Bunch of young niggas nothing changed
But the lane, we ain’t never hit the exit
Just getting started, every day I’m on the move
I just gotta pick the phone up
There’s only seven stories in my project
Niggas then sales bout to go up
That was back then I had hoes and my clothes was some bum shit
That was back then I used to fight with my brother over dumb shit
That was back then if one fight we all fight, you getting jumped quick
And that was back then my father used to hit my mother on some dumb shit
We jumped to assumptions
We still love him and we just knew it was some drunk shit
And that was back then the black cop used to have a black jumper
And that was back then the Mayor crib used to look like a frat house
Throwing parties to pay the bills
It was real I just had to put the facts out
That was back then jay niggas got snatched by diapers
That was back then the dirty killer used to go off on them ciphers
That was back then we had wristbands on with the visors
And that was back then me and Eggy we been homies since the diapers
And that was back then the old heads man you know they didn’t like us
I mean respect us, we was grinding, we was tryna get the check up
Wasn’t stepping on their hoes, nothing extra
They must’ve felt the pressure
Shit they used to keep the work in the dresser
Used to have grandma straight stressing

[Chorus:]
That was back then [x4]
Oh, baby there’s now [x3]
Baby there’s now
They fucking with me now
But if this was back then
