Back Then
Mike Jones Lyrics

Back then hoes didn't want me, now I'm hot hoes all on me
In the past, women did not show any interest in me, but now that I have achieved success, I am being pursued by many women.

Befo' I came up in the game these hoes didn't show no love
Before I became successful, women did not pay any attention to me.

They see me in the club and used to treat me like a scrub
When I used to go to the club, women would ignore me or treat me poorly.

They wouldn't holla 'cause my dollars wasn't swole enough
They did not show interest in me because I did not have enough money.

I bet they change they mind when them 84's come rolling up
I am sure that they will change their opinion of me once they see me driving in my fancy car.

They see that I'm a star, now they wanna sit in my car
Now that I am famous, they are interested in spending time with me and enjoy the benefits of my success.

Now they wanna count my g's, smoke my weed and sip my bar now
Now that I am wealthy, they want to share in my wealth by taking my money, smoking my weed, and drinking my alcohol.

They used to love to me diss me, now they rush to hug and kiss me now
In the past, they used to ignore or criticize me, but now they are eager to show me affection.

Two, eight, one, three, three oh, eight zero zero fo'
This is my phone number, call me if you want to reach me.

Hit Mike Jones up on the low cause Mike Jones about to blow
Call me secretly because I am about to become successful and famous.

Befo' the ice was in my grill, befo' I got my major deal
Before I became rich and famous, I did not have a fancy grill or a big contract.

These hoes wouldn't give a damn if I was heah, geah
Women did not care about me before, even when I was around them.

I remember back den, most of them hoes couldn't stand me
I have vivid memories of being ignored or disliked by women in the past.

But now them same hoes begging me to pull down they panties
Now, those same women are begging me to have sex with them.

A couple of 'em said I was cute but I was just too chubby
Although some women found me attractive, others were turned off by my weight.

Same size a year later the same hoes want to fuck me
I am still the same size as before, but now some women are interested in having sex with me.

Because they see me paid, pimping pens, working my jelly
Women are interested in me now because I am rich and successful, and they want to share in my wealth and lifestyle.

And I ain't tripping cause my pockets stick out mo' than my belly
I am not worried about my weight, because I have more money than I have fat.

They know I'm paid, living laid in the shade
Women know that I am rich and live a luxurious lifestyle.

Two slabs in the Escalade with fo' or five estates
I drive a fancy car and own multiple properties.

They know that I got it made, I'm a motherfucking baller
Women know that I am successful and rich.

She would want a nigga now but I ain't got no time to call her
Women are interested in me now, but I do not have the time nor the interest to return their advances.

I'ma stall her like she stalled me, now she trying to call me
I will ignore her advances like she ignored me before, but now she is calling me.

Bitch I'ma dog yo' hoe ass like you dogged me
I will treat her poorly like she did to me before.

I'm Mike Jones, don't act like you don't know the name
I am famous and successful, do not pretend like you do not know who I am.

Ain't nothing changed but my change, I'ma stay the same
Although I have become rich and successful, I have not changed who I am.

Befo' my paper came, befo' I got my fame
Before I became rich and famous.

These hoes that's poppin on me now didn't even know my name
Women who are interested in me now did not pay any attention to me when I was unknown.

They said my flow was lame, they said I had no game
In the past, people criticized me for my lack of musical talent and poor social skills.

I told 'em all I was fin' to blow they thought I was insane
I knew that I would become successful, but others thought I was crazy for believing in myself.

But they my name started blowing up quick, now they jumping on my dick
As soon as I became successful, many people started showing interest in me and acting friendly.

Cause they see me on the rise and know now my paper thick
People want to be around me because I am successful and have a lot of money.

Because they see me on the rise and oh now my paper thick
Just like the previous line, people are interested in me because of my success and wealth.
