Back In The Day
BES Feat. メシアTHEフライ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was on the low for a lil' while
Now I'm on my bubble comin' back in style
You can look me up check the profile
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
I was down bad for a lil' while
Now I'm on my hustle comin' back in style
You can see wassup you can ask around
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
Chess not checkers
Settin' new records
Swervin' in a Sentra on the phone with a heifer
On my way to the lab
Bouncin' out the pad
Frisco sav', countin' up the math
You thought you caught me slippin' well you must be smokin' shabs
I'm stayin on my toes like a ballet dance
Bumpin' Spice 1 380 on that ass
Rollin' down 280 left lane movin' fast
If you really got skills you should get paid for 'em
I write more rhymes than a best selling poet
Black Shakespeare grab the mic start flowin'
Like the drippy ink pen when my wrist in motion
I gotta stay dipped like deep fried shrimp
From the toes to the brim like Fillmore Slim
Something like a mac 11 comin' off the hip fully loaded clip
Hollow tips how the mouthpiece spit represent
I was on the low for a lil' while
Now I'm on my bubble comin' back in style
You can look me up check the profile
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
I was down bad for a lil' while
Now I'm on my hustle comin' back in style
You can see wassup you can ask around
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
Keepin' everything player, I never been a hater
If she wanna join the team then she gotta sign a waiver
If she ain't about her money then I'ma motivate her
Teach her origami I'ma have her foldin' paper
Bounce front back and side to side
Bumpin' bay slaps from inside the ride
Rollin' on the bay bridge see the city skyline
And I love the way it shine cuz I know it's all mine
See I came up, elevator to the top sucka raise up
Before I throw you off the pier wrapped up in a Persian rug
If you feelin' froggy go ahead and jump
Dregs One kept it solid
Fuck what u hollerin'
If you ain't liking what I'm doin buddy thats your problem
I'm stayin' sucka free like there's no other option
And I just keep winnin' while them haters keep watchin'
I was on the low for a lil' while
Now I'm on my bubble comin' back in style
You can look me up check the profile
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
I was down bad for a lil' while
Now I'm on my hustle comin' back in style




You can see wassup you can ask around
You wasn't knowin' then well you know now
