Back in the Day

Nowadays they do shit a different way
Was the man at this back in the d-d-d-d-day
What a wave
Tryna catch on
Tryna fit in where I stay
I don't let on bout my age
In a d-d-d-d-daze
Whatchu say?
He get money now he used to be so lame
You don't know me you just knew me in the d-d-d-d-day
Just a phase
But I'm on now
I been sitting on a throne now
Get that d-d-d-d out ya mind and let me put it on now

Fredo told me turn this joint into a jam
Tried to tell him I'm about this shit y'all don't know who I am
Way back when they used to clown me for the color of my skin
Probably cuz I wasn't black or white I'm right there on the brim
So see my grandpa was a black man but I won't beat that in like logic
I don't need race to succeed I think that shit actually toxic
But back in the d-d that's all this shit used to be about
But back in the d-d ain't give a fuck and I still don't now
My homie just smoke blunts I put him onto the dabs
Back in the d-d we route blunts and air it out coming back
Shit was so simple with the raps and now I wish I knew that
Back in the d-d-d-d
Back when I started this craft
Damn

Nowadays they do shit a different way
Was the man at this back in the d-d-d-d-day
What a wave
Tryna catch on
Tryna fit in where I stay
I don't let on bout my age
In a d-d-d-d-daze
Whatchu say?
He get money now he used to be so lame
You don't know me you just knew me in the d-d-d-d-day
Just a phase
But I'm on now
I been sitting on a throne now
Get that d-d-d-d out ya mind and let me put it on now

Back in high school used to call my ass Screech
Rest in Peace
But I embraced it, Guess I'll ride with the geeks
Used to get up on the bus with the headphones on and sit silent
They never talked to me though
They thought I was weird and violent
It's funny
Looking back on the shit that I did as a kid
I'm just so happy that this music last the way that it did
Cuz everything was tryna tell me that I just wouldn't make it
And I still ain't make it
But shit, feels like I did
My homie just smoke blunts I put him onto the dabs
Back in the d-d we route blunts and air it out coming back
Shit was so simple with the raps and now I wish I knew that
Back in the d-d-d-d
Back when I started this craft
Damn

Nowadays they do shit a different way
Was the man at this back in the d-d-d-d-day
What a wave
Tryna catch on
Tryna fit in where I stay
I don't let on bout my age
In a d-d-d-d-daze
Whatchu say?
He get money now he used to be so lame
You don't know me you just knew me in the d-d-d-d-day
Just a phase
But I'm on now
I been sitting on a throne now
Get that d-d-d-d out ya mind and let me put it on now
