Back Then Lyrics by Em3

0

[Hook] x4
Back then way back when
Time stood still for a few brave men

[Verse 1]
Back then I was much younger
But I still had an insatiable hunger
Life was simple like primary numbers
But as I got older my heart got number
So I packed on up and I rolled like thunder
Sought that path that the past lies under
Kept pace like a marathon runner
Tracked down facts like a wild life hunter
Back then

[Hook] x4

[Verse 2]
Back then time stood still
So convinced cause it all seemed real
Felt so tense when I broke that seal
Now dreams come quick cause the cups refilled
Won't spill soul like stainless steel
Kept intact by an act of will
Read plenty books til I learned how to heal
Watched many clocks spin round like wheels
Back then

[Hook] x4

[Verse 3]
Back then I was a poet
Wrote dope rhymes but I didn't even know it
Deep inside had to learn how to show it
Now I coat the whole page with experimental quotes
Its explosive that's a quaint notion
I prefer to call it mitosis
My ghost is coastin' like the edge of a continent
Back to when my people built monuments
Back then

[Hook] x4
