Way Back When ft. Jakobe_88 Lyrics

Can you hand me a beer

By the time I'm 16, you're either going to be down in the dirt, stuck down in the dirt

or you're going to be up in space, and have a lot of money, and be like Muhammad Ali

How much do you really want to be up

Damn

How bad do you want to be

Desire

I remember way, way, way, way back when I was on the news and I made like top ten

I was so short, man, couldn't even touch rim

Didn't show to my game, I felt like the lightning

If I can't see, how do I shoot? Let the light in

Supposed to be by my side, something like a titan

Loving you from hating you is something that I'm fighting

You don't even understand the excitement

Trying to buy gifts, I don't care if you like it

Say you gonna show, I know you not, I'm a sidekick

I got a big heart, just know that you inside it

I got so much pressure and I swear I'ma apply it

Time's moving fast, I got the ball, I'ma spike it

Devil bringing in the blitz, how do I survive this

May the all-star team want your number, could you sign it

Every time I score, bless the devil, once I tie it

I've been in the heat of hell, so sick of this climate

I know you got blessings for me, it's just hard to find it

Every single mile and you gave me, you see I climbed it

Lord, if I can't get in your gates, I'ma pry it

I'm just angry venting, Lord, I hope that you don't mind it

You got big shoes and I think they need resizing

Diving, back in the past

It's a blast from the past, man

I remember way, way, way, way back when

I was on the news and I made like top ten

But that was back then when I was a man

And I still am

Yeah, I'm coming for everything that said I couldn't have

And I'm taking back everything you took from me

If you know me, you see the hurt in my heart and I still bleed

Have me on my knees, dreaming, Lord, please help me

He said, look up in the crib, you got a kid

So that fuck shit don't matter no more

Gave away all my fucks, that means I don't really give a fuck

What you gotta say to me

You come around, try to play me

I'm a do like don't rain me

Put the shawty in a body bag

Yeah, I'm a grab a strap

It gonna be your last dance

Try to act like it was nuts

I was fucking around

And that's that

Ain't no going back

I'ma leave you in the back of the Maybach

I'm hurt, stab me in the back

But you said that you would never do that

Now I'm looking back, man

But that was in the past, man

Now I'm about to blast off

Just like Nasty

Fast like NASCAR

Time to hit the gas

This is this

And that was that

Taking off to another level

Rid of the hurt that was the devil

Bury the shovel

We ain't going back

Take the knife out my back

You said you wanna be champ

Well, now you can

But you forgot this is God's plan

You try to build it on sand

Yeah, we gonna do it again, again, again, again

Yeah, we started as friends

But then you wanna be king

So I'm like a frenemy

More like the enemy

You ain't no friend of me

You ain't gonna be the end of me

I'm finally free

Yeah, we just getting started

When you call Marty, I'ma handle that shit on my own

Yeah, I'm grown

This shit off the dome

I remember way, way, way, way back when I was on the news

And I made like top ten

First, there was Hey Man

Then they tried to be friends

Past tens

Yeah, I felt jaded

I gave my boy my address

Then I got raided

Busted through my door

Get my head off the pavement

I'm cooperating

Wanna know what happened

But my memory is fading

20 years of life

Now that's what I'm facing

I don't do fronts when you see you have my payment

Gotta go to court

Hell no

I don't do statements

Need a couple bars

My bad, man

My bad, man

My god, man

Let's go

Don't take my ass down to no fucking station

Ain't saying a word

Thinking I'm cooperating

Now come and walk in my shoes

How much do you really wanna be up

Came too far from that kid in the basement

Oh, I miss your birthday

Well, happy belated

Your funeral's in three days and I hope you can make it

Dress from neck to toe cause you decapitated

Now you can't really think down in meditation

How much do you really wanna be up
