Way Back

Oh, yeah if I could go back, way back, way back

[Chorus]
If I could go back, way back.
I swoop that n**** E up in my Cadillac, and we could hit a corner, get a fat a** sack
I'm checking for ya ladies, where ya at?
If I could go back, way back
I swoop that n**** E up in my Caddillac, and we could hit a corner, get a fat a** sack
Yes, I'm checking for the ladies, where ya at?

Remember that cool a** n****, true thugs, my n****, that G that put me on
Thinking about it, it should'nt go wrong, why would a n**** Eazy-E, he gone
Never really had a chance to say thank you for giving Mo Thug mo love, and now that you laugh and sing on up above, you gotta be laughing, n****s we set it off multi platinum

Stacking my chips, I'm dropping these hits down every hour
And I been smoking these weed trees with them sticky leaves
Blaze to the mighty power
Six deep in the Benz-O, 6-double-O thug stroll to the studio, little Lay, Kray, Biz, Wish, Flesh Here to rhyme so cold, rap flow never heard before

As we ride, as we roll, roll
Reminiscing out the games we played
Those were the days, those were the days
Never let em slip away

[Chorus]

If I can go back, I be me and Stack, hitting, thugging it in drawely
When all of this rapping was really a hobby
Rolling in a Malibu, mobbing with Wally
To this day, feeling like yesterday, when it was Bizzy, Flesh, [Wish], lil?Lay, and Kray

We took a one-way ticket to L.A.
Creeping on a come up, we had to meet Eazy, better believe me
Them was the good times, dropping them good rhymes, yes indeed
And you know we put it down for the love of the cheese, for the love of the game, and the real O.G.s

For the love of my Cs, I'm a let it be known
Hip hop thugsta, clique tight with the bones
And a war been on since the first song
Remember them Northcoast thugstas splitting your dome

Hit em home with Tha Crossroads
Dedicated to the lost souls
Bennefit ya, forever we miss ya
Better believe that well never forget ya

Take a picture and capture the moment
On a quest for the best, its victory
Nevertheless, we stress this history
Is you feeling me, is you hearing me?

As we ride, as we roll, roll
Reminiscing out the games we played
Those were the days, those were the days
Never let em slip away

[Chorus]

I sending my chrome upside your dome, hater, disrespect my home, n****, lets get it on
Fifth Dog flipped out, and its on
Oh no, y'all testing the Flesh-N-Bone, you wrong

Too many true soldiers set up for murder, stuffed
Unsolved, and it makes me wonder who really involved in killing our prophets.
Crossing them off the list, b****es
So we still on the rise, it ain't no surprise

Beat us, so violent, rowdy Mo Thug riders
Eazy said it, real n****s don't die

[Chorus x2]





This is for my homies

Overall Meaning

The song “Way Back” by Flesh-N-Bone opens with the wish to travel back in time and relive some fond memories. Flesh regrets not having the chance to give thanks to Eazy-E who had helped Mo Thug establish itself. Mo Thug is the collective group of Thug Life rappers which Flesh-N-Bone is also a part of. Standing on the threshold of a multi-platinum career in music, Flesh and his team find themselves reminiscing about the good old days when rapping was just a hobby. Their stint in L.A., where they met Eazy-E, is particularly memorable, as it introduced them to new experiences and opened up a whole new world of music for them. They also express grief for the true soldiers who were set up for murder and never received justice- a painful reminder of the streets they come from.


The song is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Flesh and his crew- a reflection on how far they have come and how much they have lost. The lyrics beautifully capture the feeling of wanting to go back to a time when life was simpler, and the struggles were different. They express gratitude to those who helped them, honor those who didn't make it, and celebrate life in the present as they party in their Cadillacs, smoke weed, and make music that the world loves.
