Back Then

[Intro]
I see you, Alex
You're a fucking fool for your shit
Appreciate that one
As

I think it's
Time to put 'em in they place
I'ma have to set em straight
You don't know me
You don't know where I'm from
Or what I had to do to get this plate
Ay
Let me paint a picture
Everybody dissing
Acting like it wasn't cool to listen
Now look at me
I said now look at me
I'm gonna get started

The rhymes been the dumbest since day one
Said I want this shit then my mama said pray son
I ain't got no hidden motives
I'ma get a bullet, fill it with some foldgers
Then pull that muthafucker til they wake up
Straight up
The illest out the funk
Illustrate my life
They gon' feel it when it thump
I'm 'bout inventive as they come
The time it took to get here was expensive and I spent it in the slums

This rapping shit fast and quick
"I just spent 150 on some activist"
Tell me why all y'all act alike
Y'all be living like it ain't no after life
I'm tired of the weak shit
Listen here, I'll end your whole career if you sneak diss
Peep this
People ain't understand I'm a prodigy
Now they're saying you gotta see
But I ain't really fuckin' with apologies

Now I got people calling me
Talking 'bout they remember when
Get the fuck out my face
Y'all ain't fuck with me back then
Now I got people calling me
Talking 'bout they remember when
Get the fuck out my face
Y'all ain't fuck with me back then

Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me

So now you're doing your thing
Staying true to the game
But keep yourself
Don't get consumed by the fame
When you make the cut, what you gon' do with the pain
They gon' come to you for the flame
But still try to ruin your name
Don't loosen your aim
Way too much drive just to cruise in a lane
Got the screw in the drank
Shit I might go to Houston and swang yeah
Feeling like the best since the second that I came here
Now I'm finna flex one time for Texas I was made here
The funk with me
People lookin at my city like it's they year
Mama I'ma make it in a minute just wait here
I'm coming back with a million
I know that T needs some healing
I can't imagine how you feeling
All I know is it kills ya but keep your faith near
I'ma pray here

Father help my family
We've had too many downs
Don't mean to bother you
Hell, don't know if I even make a sound
I just wanna know about the situation
Cops these days are like a gang, kill for initiation
It's crazy, this ain't the world I wanna bring a baby to
I know we don't speak too much cause I'm afraid of you
That's all that I got at the minute
Just hit me back when you hear this
(Amen)

People on my phone like
Like, like they remember when
Get the fuck out my face
You wasn't fucking with me back then
On my phone like
I remember when
Get the fuck out my face
You wasn't fucking with me back then

I think it's time to put 'em in they place
I'ma have to set em straight
You don't know me
You don't know where I'm from
Or what I had to do to get this plate
Ay
Let me paint a picture
Everybody dissing
Acting like it wasn't cool to listen
Now look at me
I said now look at me
Yeah
Motherfucker
