Back in the Day
Nostalgic Realness: Lost Values in Modern Rap
Lyrics
Back in the day everybody kept it real
There was a time when everyone was authentic and genuine
Back in the day homie this is how it' feel
That era felt a certain way, likely positive and authentic
Back in the day a deal was a deal
A deal held significant value and integrity back then
Back in the day we didn't need Navy Seals
The reliance on specialized military forces wasn't necessary
Back in the day we used to love one another
People used to genuinely care for each other
Back in the day we didn't hate on each other
There wasn't a culture of jealousy or animosity
Nowadays betrayal comes from your own brothers
Presently, betrayal often comes from those close to you
Your friends always change
Friendships tend to change over time
But your enemies they remain the same
Enemies tend to remain consistent in their hostility
Haters call us insane in the brain
Detractors label them crazy, but there's a fine line between madness and sanity
But there's a thin line between insane and sane
Reflecting on the changes in the music industry or society in general
I'm lookin' back wondering what happened to the game
Previously, people were unique, but now they've become similar
Back then we was different, now everyone's the same
Disapproval of rap content about guns, drugs, and objectification of women
Rappin' bout guns and drugs and hoes man that shit is lame
They prioritize wealth over fame
We out for the fortune man fuck the fame
Desire for a fulfilling life
We all wanna live
Back to reality
Returning to the real world
And there goes gravity
Referencing Eminem's song, 'Lose Yourself,' and the challenges of life
I been keeping it real since the days of B-Rabbidy
Been genuine since early days
Stop being plastic go back to the roots
Encouragement to be authentic and true to oneself
Don't be dramatic give the hungry some food
Advocating for helping those in need
2022 and we got way to many addicts
Concern about the prevalence of addiction in 2022
Smoking and rapping that's my only habits
Personal habits involve smoking and rapping
Oldschool flow and I bring the static
Embracing an old-school style and bringing intensity
This world needs change we need it drastic
Urgent need for significant and immediate change
I'm tryna turn dirt into gold
Desire to transform difficulties into successes
From ashy to classy cuz I'm bold
Transitioning from a less desirable state to a better one confidently
Haters tryna blast me cuz to suckaz Im cold
Facing criticism from haters but remaining confident
If she nasty like me the CP the B.I.G I'm sold
Preference for a partner similar in nature
So Sucka MC's keep on wasting ya time
Encouragement for those who oppose him to keep trying
Until the end of time
Commitment to continue his craft indefinitely
I'll be spittin' funky rhymes
Commitment to creating unique and interesting rhymes
Money's on my mind
Focus on money due to a dissatisfaction with a life of crime
Cuz I'm sick of doing crimes
Frustration with engaging in criminal activities
