Back Then Lyrics by DeeJay Ford

Back Then - Single

2018

[Verse 1]

Back Then they didn't want me got used to being mostly lonely til I put my life down on a record then, holy moly let the people get to slowly know me then they changed up..
Acting like you've been around since day one..
Truth is you counted me out from day one..
But the minute that they start to see the fame come they're gonna play dumb like I forgot where I came from..
Back then listening to Mack 10 fabricated attitude pretending I was bad biz..
But now I have kids doing what my dad did, got to watch the message I'm relaying in my adlibs..
But all they did was humble the beast, I'm still not down with all these clowns that wanna mumble on beats..
Talking keys of the trees just to make you some cheese, but I ain't got to chase fans, cause to me it's a breeze!!
Let's Go!

[Verse 2]

Back Then, backed in back when it was so much different, selfish ambition had me on a mission was using the music for personal benefit..
Before I could apologize, had to stop living off the lies..
But if I knew back then what I know now I wouldn't even be here, what a compromise..
No I cannot play by their rules, and dumb myself down cause you say that it's cool..
It's lazy and bummy and I am no dummy so watch me and learn while I take you to school..
That's why they're on me, pass me the rock with a flick of the wrist just to get an assist..
Bigger the bait then the bigger the fish, I promise it doesn't get sicker than this..
