Back Then - Alexander Lewis, William $

I see you, Alex

You’re a fucking fool for your shit

Appreciate that one

As

I think it’s

Time to put 'em in they place

I’ma have to set em straight

You don’t know me

You don’t know where I’m from

Or what I had to do to get this plate

Ay

Let me paint a picture

Everybody dissing

Acting like it wasn’t cool to listen

Now look at me

I said now look at me

I’m gonna get started

The rhymes been the dumbest since day one

Said I want this shit then my mama said pray son

I ain’t got no hidden motives

I’ma get a bullet, fill it with some foldgers

Then pull that muthafucker til they wake up

Straight up

The illest out the funk

Illustrate my life

They gon' feel it when it thump

I’m 'bout inventive as they come

The time it took to get here was expensive and I spent it in the slums

This rapping shit fast and quick

«I just spent 150 on some activist»

Tell me why all y’all act alike

Y’all be living like it ain’t no after life

I’m tired of the weak shit

Listen here, I’ll end your whole career if you sneak diss

Peep this

People ain’t understand I’m a prodigy

Now they’re saying you gotta see

But I ain’t really fuckin' with apologies

Now I got people calling me

Talking 'bout they remember when

Get the fuck out my face

Y’all ain’t fuck with me back then

Now I got people calling me

Talking 'bout they remember when

Get the fuck out my face

Y’all ain’t fuck with me back then

Back then they didn’t want me

Now I’m hot they all on me

Back then they didn’t want me

Now I’m hot they all on me

Back then they didn’t want me

Now I’m hot they all on me

Back then they didn’t want me

Now I’m hot they all on me

So now you’re doing your thing

Staying true to the game

But keep yourself

Don’t get consumed by the fame

When you make the cut, what you gon' do with the pain

They gon' come to you for the flame

But still try to ruin your name

Don’t loosen your aim

Way too much drive just to cruise in a lane

Got the screw in the drank

Shit I might go to Houston and swang yeah

Feeling like the best since the second that I came here

Now I’m finna flex one time for Texas I was made here

The funk with me

People lookin at my city like it’s they year

Mama I’ma make it in a minute just wait here

I’m coming back with a million

I know that T needs some healing

I can’t imagine how you feeling

All I know is it kills ya but keep your faith near

I’ma pray here

Father help my family

We’ve had too many downs

Don’t mean to bother you

Hell, don’t know if I even make a sound

I just wanna know about the situation

Cops these days are like a gang, kill for initiation

It’s crazy, this ain’t the world I wanna bring a baby to

I know we don’t speak too much cause I’m afraid of you

That’s all that I got at the minute

Just hit me back when you hear this

(Amen)

People on my phone like

Like, like they remember when

Get the fuck out my face

You wasn’t fucking with me back then

On my phone like

I remember when

Get the fuck out my face

You wasn’t fucking with me back then

I think it’s time to put 'em in they place

I’ma have to set em straight

You don’t know me

You don’t know where I’m from

Or what I had to do to get this plate

Ay

Let me paint a picture

Everybody dissing

Acting like it wasn’t cool to listen

Now look at me

I said now look at me

Yeah

Motherfucker
