Jordan Gilman - Then Vs. Now Lyrics

Money come and money go
Its not like you can take it with you
When you stripped down to your morals will them bitches miss you
Was them niggas only round you when it's beneficial
Most is fake
Some is iffy
And the rest official
But that okay you gon' live and you learn
You gon' make a few mistakes and then them bridges gon' burn
I'm not here to judge nobody I'm just tryna kick knowledge
All this f*ckin debt I should've dropped of college
Man a nigga was wildin' I prolly should've stopped balling
I was coming off the bench I don't think this my calling
Then a nigga started rapping and I really start balling
Ain't nobody f*cking with me and my niggas is problems
Shadigga used to pull up in that beat up Chevy Impala
And we would ride around the city like we ran this shit
Just some young niggas we was amateurs with this
Man them days was a struggle but I look and reminisce
We was just some kids that ain't know no better
I was focused on my kicks and what's the logo on my sweater
Ain't no money in my pocket ain't no bitches in my contacts
I wasn't rolling up but I was getting high off contact
I seen the niggas round me making moves and getting contracts
That means its time to work
Every time I see my momma man I know that she is hurting
I know my dad is struggling to make these ends meet
It's hard to look inside they eyes cus all I see is defeat
And they legs is getting heavy so I carry the burden
And the odds is stacked against me so I'm putting this work in
I knew that I was nice but I just needed a purpose
Some nights be weighing heavy like is it all worth it
Of course it is if I can get my family out of the struggle
If you bet against me my nigga pay me in double
I was dealing with some shit but now you niggas in trouble
I found the balance in my life my problems easy to juggle

Shit heavy son
Forreal
Yo lemme talk my shit though
Uh, yo

I said I'm backing out the parking lot
With a couple summer thots
All of them is tryna cuff
Well I guess it's worth a shot
Asking for commitment man I love it when they talk me out
No surprise when I cut 'em off
But they steady blowing up my phone
Asking me what's that about
Chill babygirl lemme get to these millions I'm brilliant
I don't see a ceiling
Y'all steady buying chains man I'm tryna cop a building
I'm feeling like a billion bucks
Y'all niggas sitting ducks
I'm throwing bread y'all picking up
The type that needs a handout I've always took the man's route
My pops taught me differently
I think he saw the bitch in me and turned me to a different breed
I think that's what y'all bitches need
I'm not here to judge nobody but I'll prolly catch a body
Niggas weak they looking sloppy
Making moves they tryna copy
Go and do your thing bro
You can have my style nigga you can take my lingo
Tell it to your bros and put your whole f*cking team on
I love to spread the wealth
I'm not really good with numbers but I love to count these checks
And I love to talk my shit but I do it with respect
And if you think you at the top then I'm coming for your neck
Man I said I was the best but I think it's time to show it
And I think you niggas capping so I think I might expose it
Yeah I heard the verse from you but which one of y'all wrote it
I'm tired of these niggas always going through the motions
