That Was Then
We used to make a killing, we used to be tight
Used to keep it in a drop ceiling
Round here, used to be wild at night (woo)
Used to live in that building, I used to love your wife
Used to lie naked, looking at the ceiling
We used to get stupid high (high)
Used to hear them things peelin' off 'ery mo'fucking night (night)
That was then, this is now
That was then, this is now
A face for the crowd at the book signing, a rueful smile
We used to put the dro in vials
No doubt, that was then, this is now
I read it when it came out
I read it when it came out
How the devil always find my house?
Flashlight in the mouth, gift horses get cavity checks
Barricade the door before bed
Dreads taped to papier-mâché head
Fred Hampton would be here today
Say it with a straight face (a straight face)
Laugh when he says this Apartheid the other way (now you catching on)
Hung up your phone, spun up a cone
That was then, this is now, homes
That was then, now we're grown
That was then, but it's been now all along
That was then, this is now
Now all along
That was then, this is now
Used to keep it in a drop ceiling
Round here, used to be wild at night (woo)
Used to live in that building, I used to love your wife
Used to lie naked, looking at the ceiling
We used to get stupid high (high)
Used to hear them things peelin' off 'ery mo'fucking night (night)
That was then, this is now
That was then, this is now
A face for the crowd at the book signing, a rueful smile
We used to put the dro in vials
No doubt, that was then, this is now
I read it when it came out
I read it when it came out
How the devil always find my house?
Flashlight in the mouth, gift horses get cavity checks
Barricade the door before bed
Dreads taped to papier-mâché head
Fred Hampton would be here today
Say it with a straight face (a straight face)
Laugh when he says this Apartheid the other way (now you catching on)
Hung up your phone, spun up a cone
That was then, this is now, homes
That was then, now we're grown
That was then, but it's been now all along
That was then, this is now
Now all along
That was then, this is now
