Lyrics Back Then - Alexander Lewis feat. William $

I see you Alex
Your a fuckin fool for this shit
I appreciate it Alex
I think it's time to put em in they place
Ima 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
The rhymes been the dumbest since day one
Said I want this shit then my mama said pray son
I aint got no hidden motives Ima 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 aint 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
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 ima make it in a minute just wait here
I'm coming back with a million I know that T
Needs some healing I cant imagine how you feeling
All i know is it kills ya but keep your faith near
Ima 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 initation 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 i 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 Ima 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
Uh muthafucker
