[Chorus]
Back when I was still a novice, nobody was rapping
(Hey, hey, nobody was rapping hey)
Back when I was never rapping, nobody was happy
(Yo, nobody was happy hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody here had peace
(Yo, nobody here had peace)
Back when I was never happy nobody here had shit
(Nobody here had shit)
[Verse 1]
Back when I was never rapping
Nobody here saw me, nobody besides the ones who saw it fit to mock me
I moved a step higher when I aced African queen, yunno 2004 Tuface was the big king
Then I was loyal, to high pitches, loyal to Jacksons and solos, I knew I was a royal
So I met the chopper and I knew I would change and
The Game “How we do” that made me change ways
Go crazy, slim shady, now I knew songs that made errbody hear me
Chamillionaire, yep I was ridin dirty
Those days me and him were the ones really
So we had this devil's workshop, Ebanj could testify
Never ever scared, Laycon was never shy
Those days and these days connect me with a strap
But these day I rap and they clap
[Chorus]
Now back when I was still a novice, nobody was rapping
(Hey, hey, nobody was rapping hey)
Back when I was never rapping, nobody was happy
(Yo, nobody was happy hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody here had peace
(Yo, nobody here had peace)
Back when I was never happy nobody here had shit
(Nobody here had shit)
[Bridge]
So yesterday terday terday terday terday, nobody was happy
(Back when I was never rapping nobody was happy, nobody was happy hey)
And now today today today today today everybody happy
(Back when I was never rapping nobody was happy, nobody was happy hey)
[Verse 2]
I moved to remove lyrics of the rhymes at that time
Moved to replace them with my own rhymes
See I was never wack, I got better with time
I changed so many names, yeah I laugh at those times
Aah but I got wiser, yeah we got higher, Niggas wanna be us, girls recognized us
I knew then it got serious, I got so synonymous to rap every other song turned crap
We dropped it like it’s hot made it rain on y'all
Many many songs can't forget lollipop
Back when I was never rapping, I was never happy
I was never known even though I was existing
It happened many times when a nigga don’t talk cause if a nigga talks errbody laughs a lot
Rap changed errthang now a nigga uses words that he never used to say to make em wanna hear him talk
[Chorus]
Now back when I was never rapping jorr, nobody was happy jorr
(nobody was happy hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody was rapping
(nobody was rapping hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody here had peace
(nobody here had peace hey)
Back when I was never happy nobody here had shit
(Nobody here had shit)
[Bridge]
So yesterday terday terday terday terday, nobody was happy, oh God
(Back when I was never rapping nobody was happy, nobody was happy hey)
And now today today today today today everybody happy
(Back when I was never rapping nobody was happy, nobody was happy hey)
[Verse 3]
I kinda wonder how funny it is, how a nigga that was useless
Now a nigga who could do it better than the ones who did it before
Now I'm asked what YBAG is for
Ya'll Better Ask God how I did it before
It's too late for ya'll, back then I was never good enough for ya'll
But these days I'm the one who does it for ya'll
Makes rap very sweet, bees buzz around the shit
Conny now be the shit
[Chorus]
Now back when I was never rapping jorr, nobody was happy jorr
(nobody was happy hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody was rapping
(nobody was rapping hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody here had peace
(nobody here had peace hey)
Back when I was never happy nobody here had shit
(Nobody here had shit hey)
[Outro]
Now back when I was never rapping jorr, nobody was happy jorr
(nobody was happy hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody was rapping
(nobody was rapping hey)
Back when I was still a novice, nobody here had peace
(nobody here had peace hey)
Back when I was never happy nobody here had shit
(Nobody here had shit hey)
