Back Then
Euroz feat. Dizzy Wright Lyrics

They wanna see you doing good
People want you to succeed, but not more than them.

Just not better than them
They want to be better than you, in their own eyes.

Imagine that
It's ironic, isn't it?

Huh
A vocal expression indicating skepticism or disbelief.

You can find me at the top
I've achieved great success and am now at the peak of my career.

This where luck can't take ya
My success wasn't just pure luck; I worked hard to get here.

I'd done ran out of fuck
I no longer care about what my haters say or think.

The expression that my haters make they just can't take it
My haters can't handle seeing me succeed and it shows on their faces.

To see a nigga come up and rise above fan favorites
It's inspiring to see someone rise to the top, especially when they weren't a fan favorite at the beginning.

Thoughts that be residing in my head
I have a lot of thoughts and ideas in my head.

Does she fuck with me for me, or she just tryna get ahead
I wonder if this person is genuinely interested in me or just using me to get ahead.

These days meeting contracts and [?]
Lately, I've been focused on meeting contracts and other obligations.

Searching for partnership if not I'm signing me instead
If I can't find a good partnership, I'll just do it all myself.

I let go and let God, I don't ever stress
I trust in God and don't let stress control me.

I smoke kush, never stress
I use marijuana to relax and relieve stress.

Give you line on top of line, that's the letter X
I'm a skilled rapper and can give you great lines on top of great lines.

I went to jail and found rap and for that I'm forever blessed
Being in jail introduced me to rap, which ended up changing my life for the better.

Sleep that's for broke niggas I don't ever rest
I work hard and don't have time for sleep, which is for people who aren't successful.

Promises I've made but I've never kept
I've made promises in the past that I haven't been able to keep.

If they ain't real we ain't around such
I don't associate with people who aren't genuine and trustworthy.

Blood, sweat, and tears, built it from the ground up
I put in a lot of effort and hard work to build my career from scratch.

Huh
A vocal expression to show emphasis or agreement.

Praise going up
I'm thankful and grateful for my blessings.

God's blessings just fall on me
I feel blessed and lucky to have received God's blessings.

It's me against the world
I'm facing challenges and obstacles alone.

No matter the odds bet it all on me
I have a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities.

I'm just trying to live
I just want to enjoy my life and be happy.

No time to waste so I start homie
I don't want to waste any time, so I start working right away.

Back then they didn't know me
I wasn't well-known in the past.

Now I'm hot they all on me
Now that I'm successful, everyone wants to be around me.

All on me, all on me, all on me
Everyone is interested in me now.

Las Vegas legend (he a legend)
I'm seen as a legendary figure in Las Vegas.

Seven years been on this shit since '07 ('07)
I've been pursuing my career in music for seven years now, since 2007.

Did it first so which nigga gon' do it second (it don't matter)
I was the first to do something, so it doesn't matter who does it second.

Kill em' with kindness be signing without a weapon (peace signs)
I try to be kind to others and promote peace, without the use of violence or weapons.

But they don't like that so they compete to feel complete (riight)
Some people feel threatened by kindness and try to compete to feel better about themselves.

Funny, now everybody compare themself to me (riight)
It's ironic that now everyone wants to be like me and compare themselves to me.

Playing for keeps accomplished all this shit by 23
I've achieved a lot in my career, all by the age of 23.

Amazing
I'm amazed by what I've accomplished.

The Golden Age got me where I wanna be (wanna be)
The era of music when I started my career helped me get to where I am now.

Now the world anticipating on me to lead
People are looking to me for direction and guidance.

My response is who got me
I'm looking to others, wondering who I can rely on for support.

Niggas wanna be put on while sloppy and then they knock me (right)
Some people want to ride my coattails to success, but then try to bring me down.

My daughter's three years and before she learn how to potty
My daughter is very young and still in diapers.

I learned and realized that this rap shit is not for everybody (real shit)
I've learned that not everyone is cut out for the rap industry.

So I'm keeping my shit solid
I'm keeping my career on track and staying true to myself.

They lying about catching bodies you niggas wouldn't even cock (keep it real)
Some rappers lie about killing people, but they're not even capable of it.

Stayin' polished, corny niggas get demolished
I keep my skills sharp and destroy the competition who aren't as good.

Spit knowledge and don't even get acknowledged
I share my wisdom and knowledge, but it often goes unrecognized.

But it's cool
I'm okay with it, I don't need validation from others.

A stand up nigga, ovation shit
I'm a genuine, honest person and deserve praise for it.

A different chick in every city that's location shifts
I have casual relationships with women across different locations.

It's not the situation, more like what you make of it
It's not the circumstances themselves, but how you react and what you do with them that matters.

The chick you layin' next to or the cat you splittin' franklins with
The woman you're sleeping with or the man you're splitting money with.

The same story, just different pages
We all have the same struggles and challenges, just at different stages in life.

And I don't drive much I get driven places
I don't do much driving myself, I have others do it for me.

This nostalgic, Rebecca [?] basement
This place is nostalgic and reminds me of Rebecca's basement, which had a similar vibe.

Classic shit we be longing is what I've been busy making
I've been working on creating classic music that people will love and appreciate.

Make way for a new legend
I'm paving the way for a new generation of legendary musicians.

I feel it's that time
I feel like the time is right for me to make my mark on the industry.

Cash ain't coming like it used to so I tend to stack mine
I'm not making as much money as I used to, so I'm saving up as much as I can now.

Hip hop on its death bed its finna flatline
The hip-hop industry is dying and will soon collapse.

The major labels is dyin' let us indie cats shine
The major record labels are dying, so now independent artists have a chance to succeed.

They don't care about the art
The major labels don't care about the music or the artists who make it.

They putting on for the bitches
They're only interested in promoting artists who appeal to women.

Blow the advance, they know hoes long for the riches
They spend all their money upfront because they know that women are attracted to wealth.

I'm like a nigga who don't understand patience
I'm not very patient when it comes to waiting for success.

I had to ask myself what's wrong with this picture
I had to question what I was doing wrong to not be successful yet.
