Way back when
Ladies used to tell me I was funny
But I don't see them laughing at the money
Way back when
We came to class high I'll put it bluntly
Everyday redefine study
Way back when
2 am corner store junkie
Addicted to the slummies getting gully
Way back when
Always used to dress in something funky
Hat snap back like a bungee
Way back when
Let me start first just by keeping it real
I probably honestly would consider taking a deal
If it meant every cent went to helping me feel
As common sense would expect, K I'm done my spiel
Back then
Lifting liquor was my appeal
My arms was getting strong like my first name Neil
Kept a handle on my mental gripping GM steel
Busted up AUX cassette and Pontiac on the wheel
Mental had me feeling like a dummy
Wanting all this bread but I'm still feeling crummy, see
People used to tell me I was lucky
But trust me buddy
You ain't never taking nothing from me
Way back when
Ladies used to tell me I was funny
But I don't see them laughing at the money
Way back when
We came to class high I'll put it bluntly
Everyday redefine study
Way back when
2 am corner store junkie
Addicted to the slummies getting gully
Way back when
Always used to dress in something funky
Hat snap back like a bungee
Way back when
I had a thing with August
But I left her in June and I
Woulda saved some profit
Coulda spent it on booze
Yeah we talked about life
And all the things we could do cause
The future seemed bright and
We had nothing to lose
You blew your own cover
You regret what you choose
Say you'd smoke your own mother
Now go choke on the fumes
You a vaudevillian lover
Eating vomitus food yeah
I told you motherf*cker
I'm addicted to doom
At least I can say I learned my lesson
I've reassured myself, got straight and cut the guessing well
Now I'm all in on progression cause
If you've got it then you've got it
No exceptions
Way back when
Ladies used to tell me I was funny
But I don't see them laughing at the money

We came to class high I'll put it bluntly
Everyday redefine study

2 am corner store junkie
Addicted to the slummies getting gully
Way back when
Always used to dress in something funky
Hat snap back like a bungee
Way back when
I readjusted vision
Kept my focus in frame
Now I'm working on my flame
To up my confidence game
See my aim was on shame
And pinpointed on pain cause
It's hard to see the sun
When you drowning in rain
Yeah a jack of all trades
Yes I do most things and
And I want to cop a jet
So I can stretch my wings
To sustain my reign
I wanna pop champagne
Cause how the f*ck you touch me
If the sky's my lane
One last thing I gotta mention
You gotta stop making doubt and misery your best friend
Improve your mind state that's the lesson then
Drop ties with the fake ones on your tail end
Peace
