BACK IN THE DAY

Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore yeah Cold sweat when I'm waking up But it's the same as the tears Late night I should be dreaming Pictures flash of my fears yeah See old pictures and I wish I was there And when my niggas was here I'm rolling up yeah And it's getting smokey just like mirrors yeah I got things on my mind yeah That I been tryna put behind But I still feel it inside I still feel inside I still feel it inside But take me back to back in the day Before I had to visit Dev at a grave Before Dreaquan was in a cage He locked up way in maine yeah And he ain't call me in some weeks and some days And I know he fighting demons and he fighting sleep But I just want you to know My love for you it won't never change Remember times we use to wrestle of just play the game I use to give you my old Jay's cus nigga we the same And only lord knows the shit that's running thru ya brain Outside the gates they killed Kevin shit like who to blame On the sleeve no chrome hearts Just old scars and red stains In the hood it's purple or cold hearts just tryna maintain I smile and say I'm fine On the low I'm really lying yeah I try to keep em entertained thru the vain in my lines Veins in my neck bloom like a flower See the veins on the vine And I know that you know That I be steady on my grind F*ck chilling and wasting time But I'll always cherish the times When I always use to have time yeah Cus I never got the time fr Or I never wanna make the time fr Decisions layin on my mind But I'm certain to put this work in I'm feeling like I deserve it and I reap what I sow So I know that I gotta earn it yeah I know that I gotta earn it Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore yeah but sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again Sometimes yeah Sometimes yeah take me back to back in the days yeah Take me back to back in the days when I was young yeah Cus sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again Sometimes yeah Sometimes yeah Sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again Now it's back in the day yeah Now I gotta visit Dev up at a grave yeah And my cousin Drea he locked up in a cage up in maine yeah Ahhh Yeahh But now I do what my OGs instructed Before I self destruct In my city they know who be getting busy I use to be down to risk it Nah forreal I had to structure up I gotta shot so I can't f*ck it up My chin is up My chain ain't never tucked I rather live lit and live Than go and hide and duck I wish we could just pour it up ah I wish we could just pour it up ah Take me back in the day yeah I still think about that call yeah Like over and over and over and over again Serena called that was back when we was more than friends Well shit we still ain't make amends And shit hurt me still no I can't pretend Late night we was hand in hand But that was back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid again That was back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again Sometimes yeah Sometimes I sit and wish I was a kid again Back in the day yeah I still wish I was a kid again
