Back In the Day

Turn it on

Are you listening?

This is Har Mar Superstar

And I wrote the chorus to this song with you in mind

So maybe check it out

And join my team on album four

Confirm it, book it, put it on my card

Any excuse to cut that off your travels so far

Away from the crimes, the crowds I've slain

Now what's a better cage? This airplane on my brain

It's plain to see the gilded chains in my heart

Fool's gold sold, we ripped your home apart

Or pierced like a dart, the pussy ring on the tart

Who took the role of carriage to my donkey-pulling cart

Just one more step, I swear, it's mine

But the burden gets bigger and the weight of my mind

Combined with the fact that y'all broke the pact

Keep up all the hard work, dog, we got your back

Nice act, little whores, here's a way to the door

The dollar signs replace your eyes for work I paid you for

But still you want more like a fire on the floor

It's either extinguish or stop, drop and roll out

Way back in the day

Things were all the same

Without the attitude and fame

Some learned how to play (Play)

Yeah, we got with the game (Game)

Others chose to back down

The road that they came

Let it all out now

Like huh!

Here come the second verse

You can turn the other cheek until I go away

Damn, I left once, it's not like I'm about to stay

Confined, stuck in time, a line with no aim

I've been workin' hard for change while you remain the same

That's fine, I got mine, you can skate the lines

Snowball, y'all, like back in '89

The highs, they got high with a girl by your side

But even the sweetest bird is gonna have to fly

So back to the flock, their peeps, their dreams

Be it better weather or the corner of the rink

Just think every time you wish your life was mine

The boulder keeps on gettin' bigger every step you climb

Don't look behind, the vertigo's a sign

We could've worked this out if we had kept it side by side

Two for the ride, there's nowhere left to hide

Like Sisyphus, you raise your fists and keep it even high

Way back in the day

Things were all the same

Without the attitude and fame

Some learned how to play (Play)

Yeah, we got with the game (Game)

Others chose to back down

The road that they came

Way back in the day

Things were all the same

Without the attitude and fame

Some learned how to play (Play)

Yeah, we got with the game (Game)

Others chose to back down

The road that they came
