Back in the Days
[Hook]
Back in the days, I used to be shy
Kept to myself and never would try!
Kept my head down, kept my mouth shut
An introvert, won't give a fuck!
Look at me now, I'm confident! (Ay!)
Aim for the gold, no incompetance! (Yuh!)
Sickest flow, no fakin' it! (Yeah!)
Swear down bitch, now I'm makin' it!
(X2)
[Verse 1]
Used to be silent, used to be quiet
Used to be the guy so private
Kept his head down, stayed outta drama
Out of the scene until it got calmer
All by myself, focused on work
Never had care for gossip and dirt
Good work, I was never waverin'
I'll admit, was a teacher's favourite
Used to not care 'bout social skills
Wasn't lookin' for vocal thrills
Spent most time playin' pretend
Hardly ever hung out with friends
Only worried 'bout my own health
Felt happier bein' by myself
Lookin' back now, I feel so amazed
At how I've grown and how much I changed!
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Lotta things changed, while I had grown
Feel like a king, up on his throne!
I am a fighter, the mic is my weapon
Marchin' on forward, ain't no half steppin'!
Out for the gold, out for medalions
Treatin' these beats like they're my battalion!
Yeah, I feel like a lyrical god!
Haters can kneel like I'm General Zod!
I got the drive like a Chevy or Bentley!
Out for the green like I'm runnin' on envy!
They can copy, can't match my brilliance
Won't stop 'till my bank is up in the millions!
Heart feelin' light, but I ride with the darkness
On point with bars like I'm a marksman!
I swear I can't see a day with defeat
Now watch as I go drop a bomb on this beat!
[Hook]
