Back When I Was Young Lyrics by Lil Zay Osama

Hood Bible

2019

[Intro]-
This was back when I was youuuung
Back when I was young
[Hook]-
This was back when I was young
With the baggy jeans, rocking LRG, this before the beef
This was back when I was young
They used to see me hustlin', punch me they seen me cussin', but ain't give me packs they'd rather me beating the buckets
Back when I was young
Stealing out of AJ Wright cause I couldn't get the Mike's, I ain't have cable I couldn't watch Nick@Nite
Back when I was young
Throwing bricks at hypes, that's how we had fun,I had to sneak on the back of the bus cause I ain't have funds
[Verse]-
This before the SRT, I stole a Cherokee
Police was chasing me, I bailed and threw the key
This was before the beef, I was DT beating the buckets
Make sure my OG eat, my sisters and my brothers
And this was back when I was young
My haircut was fire, I was trying to touch a bag, I was trying to touch it fast
Knock at yo' door whatever you offer just let me cut the grass
I was running a bitch with my big homies they made me fuck her last
I found a pole they took it, treated me like a rookie
I got some C they wouldn't help me, taught me how to cook it
Tried to send me up to fight my homies, they got mad I wouldn't
All them tricks you played on me, now I grew up you shouldn't
[Hook]-
This was back when I was young
With the baggy jeans, rocking LRG, this before the beef
This was back when I was young
They used to see me hustlin', punch me they seen me cussin', but they ain't give me packs they'd rather me beating the buckets
Back when I was young
Stealing out of AJ Wright cause I couldn't get the Mike's, I ain't have cable I couldn't watch Nick@Nite
Back when I was young
Throwing bricks at hypes that's how we had fun, I had to sneak on the back of the bus cause I ain't have funds
[Verse]-
My life based off the streets, shooters and robberies
Naw ain't no more big homies, no you can't structure me
'Member when I needed you, now bitch you needing me
I need 10k a feat., you can't get shit for free
You tried that shit when I was young, you better not try again
Too many older niggas gone somebody can die again
You changed on me I won't ever give you the chance to lie again
I'm still southside but you ain't gone never know what I'm riding in
I rock Amiri jeans, 60k for my AP
Invest in property, I just left BET
I remember days when I was young I watched BET
I remember days I ain't have nun, I went in the trap to sleep
[Hook]-
This was back when I was young
With the baggy jeans, rocking LRG, this before the beef
This was back when I was young
They used to see me hustlin', punch me they seen me cussin', but ain't give me packs they'd rather me beat the buckets
Back when I was young
Stealing out of AJ Wright cause I couldn't get the Mike's, I ain't have cable I couldn't watch Nick@Nite
Back when I was young
Throwing bricks at hypes that's how we had fun, I had to sneak on the back of the bus cause I ain't have funds
