Wiki ft. Lansky Jones - Back Then Lyrics

Why you always talk like that?
Cause I got heart like that
Walk right back
To the same place you started at
Baby face with a starter cap
When you had your hair grown out like Colin Kaep
All you did was ball and rap
Never got your wallet snatched
Cause you never had a wallet then
All you had was all them friends
All the way back then

Back then
Half the time anybody rapping man they talking bout the past tense
Laughing
Cause everything is better now
Nah back then it was better how?
You never got ass then
You was always sad then
You was always late to your classes
Had to wake up at 6 just to make it to the motherfucking train and to catch it
You was Uptown school was in Brooklyn explain to me why you miss that shit?
Don’t mean to be so nostalgic, but oof
I was on one
Back when I was so young
I was so dumb
Everything in front of me now it seem like everything done
When I was Lil Wiki 5.50 split a dime and dutch
Just to get me a blunt
You know what feeling I miss
When you get out of school on a Friday and everything lit
Nobody giving a fuck, Yerrr
Whole city at our disposal
We run the streets and we roast you
We would get high
We would try and fucking drug that we was exposed to
We knew the delis that sold you brew
But now all of them delis is closed too, huh
Along with all of the spots we grew up and grew close to

Back then

Hardwood classic throwback
Headband wristband Nike check
Lloyd banks In my Discman
Murder inc ja we was off that
Cop mixtapes
From the Nigerians
Lunch third period
Where, all the Girls bicurious
And they all seemed so mysterious
I was Just 14 so green,
so inexperienced
Just keepin up with appearances
Step pop copped southpole jeans off clearance
So I got a shitty a part time gig
For sneakers
How I look in phat farm shell tops
Hell no
When it hit Fall I was involved
All my clothes en vogue
This nouveau Jones
In High school callin all weed strains Dro
Queens shit
Like Lo, throwbacks Authentic Du Rag two tone Saggin
Velcro straps or Enyce velours
Had a pair Constructs
Matched my conduct
My Pops just passed still a mindfuck
Same Condom box
For 3 years
3 bucks, 3 sealed up
They collected dust
Cause the females I ain’t really talk to them
Man that Awkward phase
Felt awful long

Why you always talk like that?
Cause I got heart like that
Walk right back
To the same place you started at
Baby face with a starter cap
When you had your hair grown out like Colin Kaep
All you did was ball and rap
Never got your wallet snatched
Cause you never had a wallet then
All you had was all them friends
All the way back then
