Tion Wayne - Back Then Lyrics

Back then, Back then
Back then Back then Back then
(T Wayne from the 9) yo, yo, yo, yo

Feds know me, then don't need no PNC
If you know me then you know the G in me
If you know then you know how I get down
I'm a north side boss but I get around
No talking, I was a go-getter
Cos you can't talk racks
If there's no cheddar
Had my nike bomber jacket
For the cold weather
And no-one stunts around me
Could've known better
I've been through the highs and the lows
Got everything I grind for on my own
Counting up Ps in my zone
Those days I didn't have Ps for a phone
I swear down I couldn't pay the cab man
Madman swear I jack man and I tax man
So I pray to god i ain't seeing jail
Cos in the beef I get messy like Lionel
(come on)

I really didn't know back then
Didn't have no hoes or no clothes back then
Young boys but we had to move like men
Now i'm up now I don't mind a throwback then
Back then, back then, back then
I wasn't no-one now i'm certi
Au revoir broke days, arrivederci
I ain't tryna be road when i'm 30

I really didn't know back then
Didn't have no hoes or no clothes back then
Young boys but we had to move like men
Now I'm up now I don't mind a throwback then
Back then, back then, back then
I really didn't
I really didn't know back then
Now I'm up now I don't mind a throwback
Now I'm up now I don't mind a
Throwback I don't mind a throwback
Now I'm up now
I really didn't, I really didn't
I really didn't know back then

I saw my circle going opposite ways
We're old friends with new news but
We got nothing to say
Its like i'm so obsessed with music
I got lost in my ways
I feel my conversation drifting
Man i'm Colin McRae
My best songs they can't speak the
Words I want them to say
They set me up with girls
That never wanted to stay
I'm looking straight through her motives
Man she wanted to trade
Cos me I wanted her body and
She just wanted my name
In fact she wanted my status I
Mean she wanted my stripes
I'm a send this little man
They wanted my life
I swear this pressure is a measure
Of your power and might
When everyone relies on you to
Make it happen at Nike
And your just tryna bring your click
In tryna pattern it right
And your motive isn't clicking and
Your meeting times are clipping
And your stressing cos you're never
Sleeping happy at night
You're staring deep into the darkness with
Your dad in your mind
I put this pressure on my back
They think i'm arrogant I
Hold it down for every single
F*cking man on my side
And man are talking like i'm taking
This chit and chattering light
Until we buck up in the flesh and
Then you know the f*cking rest

I really didn't know back then
Didn't have no hoes or no clothes back then
Young boys but we had to move like men
Now I'm up now I don't mind a throwback then
Back then, back then, back then
I really didn't
I really didn't know back then
Now I'm up now I don't mind a throwback
Now I'm up now I don't mind a throwback
I don't mind a throwback, now I'm up now
