Back then I was down On my luck These days things are Looking Up So far from all the things I used to be, I used to be Back then I was down On my luck These days things are Looking Up So far from all the things i used to be, I used to be Back when I ain't have no confidence Come to think about it I ain't have no common sense Used to pop a couple bottles with a couple cents These days I wonder where Id be at if I hadn't spent So much time Just drinking and trying To make everyone around me life Simpler than mine I often give them all of me Without having the time And still I hear em cracking jokes Like twisting ya spine I'm on a Different road I'm sick of the posing No more lying to myself I know I ain't chosen I'm still fighting for myself There's shit that I'm holding Way too deep inside myself Won't show no emotion I learned to control it Go and put it on a song And flow like the ocean Way my life been going down Can't tell but I'm hopeless Sorry I been tripping lately Just having a moment Back then I was down On my luck These days things are Looking Up So far from all the things I used to be, I used to be Back then I was down On my luck These days things are Looking Up So far from all the things i used to be, I used to be No more looking back No more talking down on myself and now that's a fact No more wasting time and comparing myself to them No more being friendly and giving my time to them Only putting up with the people that comprehend That this thing I been chasing Requires some time and then I'm the CEO of Yung Waves Records And I demand Some more innovation Some more dedication Why the fuck it seem like I'm impatient All I do is work and think and work with no vacation Study overtime man if you see my preparation You would think I'm ready for the next three generations That don't even show my dedication Went and checked the time and I can't give no explanation On how much I been doing for my people being patient Given I just really hope my fam appreciate it
