Back Then Lyrics by TeeJay3k

Introvert: Side A

2020

[Intro]
I know, I know
I'm humble but I'm hungry
I know, I know
I mean, I lost a lot of niggas due to lack of loyalty
I mean I know it don't even cost shit to be real, you know
Ayy keep it G
The older I get, the more I realize that people didn't really ride for you, you know
Just hope, ride for yourself

[Chorus]
You ain't ridin' back then and you can't come with a nigga
Keep that 30 by my side, just to humble the nigga
Heard you runnin' with that sack, you best not fumble then nigga
'Cause a nigga like me gon' pick it up and run with it nigga
Don't put yourself in situations if you know you gon' fold
How the fuck you live with yourself when you know that you told?
So many friends, menace life, don't even know 'em no more
I ride 'till the end 'cause I already know how it go

[Verse 1]
And niggas dyin' everyday so I'm runnin' with my peeps
Put my time in, gettin' paid, ain’t got no time for the [?]
I gave my heart up to the gang, now I'm signed to the streets
I had to fix my own plate, now a nigga tryna eat
Watch the money pile up and watch yo' circle minimize
They ain't got nothing to do so all they do is criticize
Niggas lie, bitches lie, people lie plenty times
All that flaggin' ass shit gon' get a nigga penalized
If I got it then you got it, my nigga, any time
I remember hittin' licks, we did it so many times
I can't give my heart to no bitch, can't tell her she really mine
All that talkin' 'bout you solid, I know that you really lyin'
Bitch my word is my bond, but that talk still cheap
Put a bag on a nigga, get 'em off these streets
Toe tag for a nigga, knocked him off his feet
This shit bad for a nigga, he don' want no beef

[Chorus]
You ain't ridin' back then and you can't come with a nigga
Keep that 30 by my side, just to humble the nigga
Heard you runnin' with that sack, you best not fumble then nigga
'Cause a nigga like me gon' pick it up and run with it nigga
Don't put yourself in situations if you know you gon' fold
How the fuck you live with yourself when you know that you told?
So many friends, menace life, don't even know 'em no more
I ride 'till the end 'cause I already know how it go

[Verse 2]
In this cold cold world, bitch I stand alone
If I said it then I meant it, bitch my word, what I'm standin' on
I say a prayer while I'm headed home
It ain't a day that goes by I don't think about the ones dead and gone
It's still blood on my shoes from the other day
The streets hot so I had to find another way
That bitch a thot so I had to find another bae
That's why I gotta make it out 'cause we ain't promised for another day
How you say that you my brother but you tryna finesse
They send shots, but they miss, I ain't lucky, I'm blessed
Free the real, fuck the rest, 'cause I don' fuck with the rest
And I'm all with the gang, gang fuckin' up checks
Bust down, this ain't no plain jane, I froze the Patek
Shots fired to yo' brain like it's Russian Roulette
Bitch I came with the tool, my nigga came with it too
I hang with animals and fools, bitch we came from the zoo

[Chorus]
You ain't ridin' back then and you can't come with a nigga
Keep that 30 by my side, just to humble the nigga
Heard you runnin' with that sack, you best not fumble then nigga
'Cause a nigga like me gon' pick it up and run with it nigga
Don't put yourself in situations if you know you gon' fold
How the fuck you live with yourself when you know that you told?
So many friends, menace life, don't even know 'em no more
I ride 'till the end 'cause I already know how it go
