[Hook]

I remember back when them rappers used to make them bars hit

Now they say hit makers but this miss the target

Remember back when yea

I remember back when yea yea

I remember back when the barbershop was the spot

When I had the bald fade before I started growing locks

When I walked through the door

I would always get stopped

Then the OG hit me like I know you

Heard the beat drop

Off top

Like


[Verse 1]

Aw mane

You can hear how loud we smelling from the hallway

I remember we were flashing pics on broadway

Known a few ain’t fraid to flash them sticks in broad day

All I say, send them prayers to Yahweh

Can’t tolerate no fake, or if you tryna talk shade

Heard the rumors they be spreading but it’s all claims

Envy dropping off my Fenty, and my Balmain

They just jealous of our relish, cuz we all paid

We don’t take no off days

Think we better part ways

I ain’t pulling for less than 3 stacks like I’m Andre

Heard you doing big things, oh that’s what they all say

I’m inhaling smoke until I choke fuck what the law say

Surprise all in their eyes, when I pull up I make the jaws hang

Only money talk don’t understand me like I talk slang

And my future bright no looking back on all my dark ways

Dark days

With dark shades


[Verse 2]

I’ve spit a hundred thousand verses, got a million to go

No nine to five can make me feel this shit

I feel in my soul

Just like it’s FIFA how I’m kicking shit and reaching my goals

They get to shooting like a movie

Now I’m facing my foes

What’s the purpose of working if it ain’t obtaining the dough

We changed the wave so many times so now we changing the flow

Changing is an understatement

Rearranging the code

I keep you rappers in line like I’m arranging the notes

Y’all couldn’t sound more like me if you had a page from my notes

You don’t know you’re more replaceable than the rang in my nose

You really the one serving all the champagne for my toast

Get ya bars up until then that’s just the way that it goes

Aw yeah


[Outro]

Aw yeah

I remember back when yea

Do you remember back when yea yeah
