Back In The Day

Back then I was hoofin it like 5 miles to work
Or maybe jump up on the bus to save some time and worth
Rollin up the last of the weed make the journey go by fast
Get another eighth fa sho gotta make this mufuka last
Some times I'd ride the bike my uncle gave me to commute
Until that mufuka got jacked right behind my back I felt so stupid
I never thought I'd see cupid just felt like dreams that were lucid
Excluded all the things I've computed fluid with illucid loose ends
Sold my car for a hundred bucks like fuck having to repair that shit
Didn't have the money for a catalytic converter that could spare that shit
Couldn't get smogged or registered so we'd ride dirty with bogus tags
Broken glass months on end til the gas tank took its local tax
Til I break the struts and I fake the pass look left look right til the red lights flash
Til I drain my pockets of all of my cash no AC coming out the dash
No paychecks fast no way to look back or way to pay the tax or cash advance
Stuck in the past of making ends meet ain't no way of fakin that

We was looking over shoulders
No registration they gone wanna pull us over
Smokin a fat blunt we don't see no undercover
Red light blue lights through the moon light make us run for cover
Ended up just being security that made us run fast
Dog there ain't no contest my heart was bumping in contrast
Been looking back on that lately like damn I came a long way
From walking home in the dark through hallways never having nothing like always
People driving by throwing shit at you and think it funny
And I ain't stuck up I'm with the jokes but I know you don't fuck with just any body
Keep you head on swivel mode cause you will get such little notice
Minimal focus holding that single note in til the bottle broken
On the back of your head you feeling like this ain't for you
Feeling like they ain't better than you and that they just tainted too
This is dedicated to the times I didn't have a clue or a buck or a fuck to give away to me or you back in the day
