Years Ago

[Verse 1]

It’s like that y’all, back when a Nigga was broke
About the same time, a man tryna fight, ain’t no joke
I used to be in a house full of chronic smoke
But i didn’t know what that shit would provoke
Oakland, California is where i rest my head
Say my prayers every night before i went to bed
Went to school but i really wasn’t interested
Writing raps not driven bout shit they said
None, was a Nigga rapping fresh as Cas’
Used to fill up the blanks, just to pass
Probably copy off a bitch, who gave me the ass
She wasn’t with it cuz baby was gassed
In the hallways i always was posted
Looking for a bitch so we can go and gеt toasted
Hoes with ass, exposеd it fast
But they really wasn’t tripping from the flows that Cas’
Was creating, and may bring, patiently waiting
I went and bust raps cuz i hate when we make scenes
And spark shit
Niggas wouldn’t let me stop
To the bell ring kicking that real hip hop
And it’s a swell thing, cuz now I’m advanced
And all you bitches, you had your chance
If i do give you some, there’s no romance
Just take off your shirt and drop your pants

Come back from where you came from, that’s the rule
Cuz back in the day it wasn’t even cool
Casual ain’t the one to play like no fool
Cuz back in the day it wasn’t even cool

[Chorus]

(Years Ago)

[Verse 2]

I remember how you used to cap on a Nigga
Blast at a Nigga, he was a Nigga
Now everybody’s saying he’s the Nigga
Tryna please a Nigga
H to Z’s much bigger than cancer
At least where I’m from
Anybody surprised that john’s not no bum
See, now i get my cash and they want some
Making themselves look hella dumb
Back in high school, you used to be the man
But you’re really much less with a mic in your hand
I’ll crush your every thought, oh yes i can
When i rock your calf, like Duran Duran
You stand in the front (hoe), and you wouldn’t say shit to a Nigga two years ago
That’s because then you did not know
John Owens would be Casual
Now you shouldn’t change your ways
Cuz it wasn’t like that back in the day
And all you little hoes you make me sick
It seems that nowadays i can take my pit
You and your friend, you won’t say shit
Cuz back in the days i couldn’t even spit

Get angry, but that shit’s a fool
Cuz back in the day that wasn’t even cool

[Chorus]
