Way Back When Lyrics by Tay Capone

2021

[Intro]
LeeBoy on the track
Yeah, yeah
Bitch
On foenem

[Verse]
I'ma take it back 2008, I was a gentleman
I was getting high and banging hard but I was innocent
Way before that war with MOB when I was drilling shit
We was up at Carter, had to fight to work out differences
Then this shit got treacherous and that was like 2009
We was out here beating each other up
All of sudden, them shots was flying
Had to jump right in this shit head first, I ain't have a lot of time
I ain't even know too much about the streets
But it weren't rocket science
Couldn't catch us, the opps was trying, likе that the whole 2010
I was 14 thinking I was grown, I felt likе 20 then
I was toting that pipe, I'll take your life, you know this shit a sin
Know a lot of niggas claiming BD 'cause I flipped them in
It's 2011, I'm a vet, and bitch, I'm repping hard
We lost Lil Steve, Baldy and D-Thang
Started letting that weapon spark
We lost Shaq not too long after that, it hurt, I swear to God
Niggas act like they gon' get get back but I could smell a fraud
2012, they like, "What's wrong with Tay? That lil' boy wild as hell"
Coming straight up off that drill with Von, spent my first time in jail
First time seeing a nigga's shit get splat, I didn't know how to feel
Will I even live to 21? Well, only time will tell
I was really posted in that courtway right on 61st
Caught the opps, they tried to spin our block
We had to get 'em first
I was right there when they shot L'A, you know that shit'll hurt
I ain't tripping, I went through that next day
You know I did 'em worse
2013 came in and my niggas was enjoying life
We was in the stu', ain't had to post up, we had earned our stripes
Then they killed L'A, so they had to pay
I was out here sending shots so fast like ándale
I got love for some GD's but fuck the opps, I'm dropping rakes
I was really out here trying to find where Lil Mick momma stay
Run up on his ass, let that choppa spray
Niggas really bitches, on the 'net they got a lot to say
