Back Then (feat. Good News)

They ain't know me back then But I bet they know me now They ain't show us love back then But I bet they show it now They ain't want to call back then But they calling for me now They ain't cut the check back then But I bet they cut it now They ain't let us up so we had to shut it down Started from the bottom yea we got it off the ground When you know that you a king you don't care about the crown Can't be in the game when you standing out outta bounds Me I'm in the game like it's EA Born and raised I'm from LA CA Highly educated got a MA and a BA And everyday it cost me so I ain't got a free day The bags got me up look under my eye lids I keep an eye out for the money I'm a pirate flame stay lit , gas stove pilot Can live with disappointment but regret I can not die with They ain't know me back then But I bet they know me now They ain't show us love back then But I bet they show it now They ain't want to call back then But they calling for me now They ain't cut the check back then But I bet they cut it now I tell them pass me the money please I used to work hard now it come with ease Yea I want the juice so I had to squeeze Chilling on a beach with a summer breeze Getting to the money but you'd never know it They don't think I got it 'cause I never show it Living like I'm broke even if I'm rich Patient at the plate waiting on my pitch Yea it's in the brain gotta get in tune Came from the bottom not a silver spoon Cleaning up the culture then I got the broom They ain't know me back then But I bet they know me now They ain't show us love back then But I bet they show it now They ain't want to call back then But they calling for me now They ain't cut the check back then But I bet they cut it now
