Back Then Lyrics by Kenny Golder Jr.

Freshman Campaign

0

Collective handouts
And sold out shows
Back in the day with all the passed down clothes
What if people respected the things I proposed
But I guess as a child, thats just the way things go

Back in the day
I was just a kid with a vibe
Live life, everything was better at night
We hype, still we find the time for the grind
But tonight, Im just tryna find me a light

Ooh
I be fuckin rappin
All these other people are wishing they were passive
Addressing, all the other shit like how Im dressing
Man you know im fresher than all the motherfuckers I guess and
Ha, well this is all that shit
I be fucking moving and using all of my shit
My brain is going crazy
Man you know im crazy
Man you know I gotta get it back like you my baby
But they know that Im just saying all this shit like on the table
And Im staying on my home place
Like on that home plate
Like all those bitches they wishing that they could own me
But they just dont
Man I just gotta go
Im going coast to coast
Wishing that people would never boast
And now they tell me that they only want the toast
Damn man
We fucking wishing
That people were different and now they gotta tell im different too
Well what man
Shit
Patricks in jail
Now we gotta tell me that all of them sales
That hes making gotta go crazy
Cause if they make him, Im draping
Like all of the shit that Im making
Im fucking better than this
Damn
You fucking better than this man
Cause all these other people they wishin that they had brains
Now they wanna go and fucking disrespect his name
Like do you really know whats going on in his brain?
Man, well its a classic in the making
All these other people they wishing that they were saying
I be fucking spraying and spitting all of these lines
They wishin that I was better
Man take your fucking time shit

Back in the day
I was just a kid with a vibe
Live life, everything was better at night
We hype, still we find the time for the grind
But tonight, Im just tryna find me a light

The way things were then
Id call up your phone we were better than friends
Would I go back, well uh shit it depends
Ill smoke on that note we can talk at the end
Bend it down, buss it down for a nigga
Im popping and locking and making some figures
But what if my picture was so much more different
If you were the main when I count up my chicken
I guess, Im steady dreaming
Looks were decieving, you were a heathen
What I believed in, You didn't preach it
One day you here, the next you were leaving
The way things were then
When I would whip and you ride, we stay out at night till it end
We had the time and nothing else we could spend
See with you I could be me I didn't need to pretend
Then again, that was long ago
Now vertigo effects the prodigal
I am commando, so I walk alone
Its super low
Its crazy how a friend can turn into a foe
When they be looking at the vision, but they couldn't see it whole
Thats the story that Ive told
Im walking this road and the fucking air is too cold
Everytime Im looking back I see this girl I could hold
But another thing that warms is this J imma smoke

Thats how Im living my life
Before you let me say it wasn't better alright
What we do, you would make up any day in the night
But its through, so like a little kid imma write

Back in the day
I was just a kid with a vibe
Live life, everything was better at night
We hype, still we find the time for the grind
But tonight, Im just tryna find me a light
