Shortfyuz - Back In The Day lyrics

[Verse One] I'll rip your heart out Try to put a hand on my squad I'm in the Lord's house trying to put an end to my sins And I be more 'bout, trying to take advantage of ours You going raw in the who*ehouse, you never can win When I see the safe at the crib, I just want to fill it up Never let my feelings decide on what's real enough So who's k**ing stuff? Since the radio is lovey dove Y'all rapping for the club but can't fill 'em up Huh Conscious decision on your lifestyle 'Less you wanna live with no heat and with your lights out sh**, y'all better off 9 to 5ing it I've been rhyming since '95 and I survived in it Somehow I couldn't tell you but I followed it Seen the yellow brick road, decided to travel it Not arrogant, I'm just confident So whether or not you acknowledge it I'm gon' body sh** [Hook] {x2} Hey, you was a mack like that back in the day All a sudden e'rybody got something to say Acting like you show love but really it's hate I'm just trying to get paid so stay out my way [Verse Two] Y'all stay hating Walking up giving me daps With fake smiles Asking what number to dial Like I'm gonna to give you my number and pick up my phone To give you a loan You gotta get that sh** on your own Till you travel where I travel Struggle how I struggle Hustle how I hustle I ain't giving you sh** I done sacrificed my whole life for what I write The blood, sweat, the tears, the crib with no lights Not to mention the lice, the co*kroaches and mice The type of pain in my stomach for going hungry at night And the nightmares I endure from being so poor The bullets fly through my wall and through my window they crawl And out my window they went with every dollar and cent My mother hid in the vent that's why I be getting bent It's memories I erase, with liquor with no chase So f** up outta my way and f** up outta my face I'm gone [Hook]
