Back Then

[Chorus: Wiki] Why you always talk like that? 'Cause I got heart like that Walked right back to the same place started at Baby face with a Starter cap When you had your hair grown out like Colin Kaep' All you did was ball and rap Never got your wallet snatched 'cause you never had a wallet then All you had was all them friends all the way back then [Verse 1: Wiki] Back then, half the time anybody rapping man they talking bout the past tense Laughing 'cause everything is better now Nah, back then, it was better how? You never got ass then, you was always sad then You was always late to your classes Had to wake up at 6 just to make it to the motherfucking train and then catch it You was uptown, school was in Brooklyn Explain to me why you missed that shit Don't mean to be so nostalgic but, oof I was on one back when I was so young, I was so dumb Everything in front of me, now it seem like everything done When I was Lil Wiki 550 split a dime and a dutch just to get me a blunt You know what feeling I miss? When you get outta school on a Friday and everything lit, nobody givin' a fuck Whole city at our disposal, we run the streets and we roast you We would get high, we would try any fucking drug that we was exposed to We knew the delis that sold you brew but now all them delis is closed too, huh Along with all of the spots we grew up and grew close to [Bridge] Back then, back then Back then, back then [Verse 2: Lansky Jones] Hardwood classic throwback Head band, wristband, Nike check Lloyd Banks in my Discman Murder Inc. Ja, we was off that Copped mixtapes from the Nigerians Lunch third period where all the girls bi-curious And they all seemed so mysterious I was just 14, so green, so inexperienced Just keepin' up with appearances Step pop cops out, poor jeans on clearance So I got a shitty full-time gig for sneakers How I look in Phat Farm shell tops? Hell no When it hit full I was involved Put my clothes in Vogue, this new boy Jones High school calling all weed strains Dro Queens shit like low throwbacks Authentic Du-rag, two-tone saggin Girbauds Velcro straps over these Jake Velours Had a pair of Constructs matched my conduct My pops just passed, still a mind fuck Same condom box for three years Three bucks, Three sealed up, they collecting dust Cause' the females, I ain't really talk to them Man that awkward phase felt awful huh [Chorus: Wiki] Why you always talk like that? 'Cause I got heart like that Walked right back to the same place started at Baby face with a Starter cap When you had your hair grown out like Colin Kaep' All you did was ball and rap Never got your wallet snatched 'cause you never had a wallet then All you had was all them friends all the way back then [Outro] Back then, back then Back then, back then
