Way Back When Lyrics by DaJohn

2020

[Hook]
I remember back when them rappers used to make them bars hit
Now they say hit makers but this miss the target
Remember back when yea
I remember back when yea yea
I remember back when the barbershop was the spot
When I had the bald fade before I started growing locks
When I walked through the door
I would always get stopped
Then the OG hit me like I know you
Heard the beat drop
Off top
Like

[Verse 1]
Aw mane
You can hear how loud we smelling from the hallway
I remember we were flashing pics on broadway
Known a few ain’t fraid to flash them sticks in broad day
All I say, send them prayers to Yahweh
Can’t tolerate no fake, or if you tryna talk shade
Heard the rumors they be spreading but it’s all claims
Envy dropping off my Fenty, and my Balmain
They just jealous of our relish, cuz we all paid
We don’t take no off days
Think we better part ways
I ain’t pulling for less than 3 stacks like I’m Andre
Heard you doing big things, oh that’s what they all say
I’m inhaling smoke until I choke fuck what the law say
Surprise all in their eyes, when I pull up I make the jaws hang
Only money talk don’t understand me like I talk slang
And my future bright no looking back on all my dark ways
Dark days
With dark shades

[Verse 2]
I’ve spit a hundred thousand verses, got a million to go
No nine to five can make me feel this shit
I feel in my soul
Just like it’s FIFA how I’m kicking shit and reaching my goals
They get to shooting like a movie
Now I’m facing my foes
What’s the purpose of working if it ain’t obtaining the dough
We changed the wave so many times so now we changing the flow
Changing is an understatement
Rearranging the code
I keep you rappers in line like I’m arranging the notes
Y’all couldn’t sound more like me if you had a page from my notes
You don’t know you’re more replaceable than the rang in my nose
You really the one serving all the champagne for my toast
Get ya bars up until then that’s just the way that it goes
Aw yeah

[Outro]
Aw yeah
I remember back when yea
Do you remember back when yea yeah
