Back Then - Intellectual

[Intro: Aaron Cole]

Yeah, ayy, Rhythm, uh, okay

[Chorus: Aaron Cole]

I remember back when

I remember back then

I was bad Mike Jackson

That's when God came and tapped in

I can never go back then

Never go back then

I remember back when

I remember back then

I was bad Mike Jackson

That's when God came and tapped in

I can never go back then

Never go back thеn

Never go back then

Nеver go back then

[Verse 1: Aaron Cole]

Look, now, I just lean on the rock, ayy

I've been tryna get right

Weight on me, heavy, I look to the light (Okay)

Been in the trenches, I thought I would die (Yeah)

If you know me, then you know how I was

Went all around, I was looking for love

Went through the L's just to get to the dubs

Only get that if I look up above (That's right)

World tryna hold me down, gotta run away, ayy (Gotta run away, ayy)

Far from the fame, yeah, I'm try'na dodge L.A., ayy

Gotta get back to Your love

Went from the rags to the top

Like He raised Lazarus up

Yeah, I've been raising the stocks, let's go

[Chorus: Aaron Cole]

I remember back when

I remember back then

I was bad Mike Jackson

That's when God came and tapped in

I can never go back then

Never go back then

Never go back then (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Jordan Holiday]

Why, why, why, why, why

Should I waste all my time

Losing my mind and believe all their lies?

Why, why, why, why, why

Would I try to rewind?

I just hit my prime

I just hit my stride

[Chorus: Jordan Holiday]

I remember back when

I remember back then

I was bad Mike Jackson

Then God came, tapped in

I can never go back then

[Bridge: Davide Mutendji]

I cannot repeat

Saving up for the Yeezy's

Problems lookin' like 3D

Wishin' life would be easy

But livin' ain’t easy

Used to be a rookie, left D league

John Cena can't see me

Ask anybody who knew who I was

Feet on the ground, but my head in the clouds

Losin' my way, didn't know who to trust

That when He touched down and gave me His love

Thank God, He showed me who He really was

And I know He wasn't hiding in the clouds

Chasing me down, ninety-nine for the one

Son of a King, royalty’s in my blood

[Chorus: Aaron Cole, Jordan Holiday]

I remember back when

I remember back then

I was bad Mike Jackson

That's when God came and tapped in

I can never go back then

Never go back then

I remember back when (I remember back when)

I remember back then (I remember back then)

I was bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)

That's when God came and tapped in (Then God came, tapped in)

I can never go back then (I can never go back then)

Never go back then (I can never go back then)

[Breakdown: Aaron Cole & Davide Mutendji]

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (I can't hear y'all, a little bit louder)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (A little louder)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Five, four)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Three, two, one, two, let's go)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy (Keep it going, let's go)

Ayy, ayy (Go, go, go, go)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Let's go, let's go)

[Chorus: Aaron Cole, Davide Mutendji, & Jordan Holiday]

I remember back when (I remember back when)

I remember back then (I remember back then)

Bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)

(Then God came, tapped in)

I can never go back then (I can never go back then)

Never go back then (Never go back then)

Never go back then (I'll never go back then)

I remember back when (I remember back when)

I remember back then (I remember back then)

I was bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)

That's when God came and– (Then God came, tapped in)

I can never go back then (I can never go back then)

Never go back then (Never go back then)

Never go back then (I can never go back then)
