That Was Then

Back with a bang this year Back doing laps on the track fifth gear Born and raise in the CR7 Man a Christian like CR7 And what do you know about Thornton Heath And Bus Station was known for the beef And the mandem holding the heat Was the only time they were holding degrees That's overly peak Now we've got graduates And managers managing managers They cannot damage us, no longer amateurs Breaking down barriers, now we are manning up Standing up We used to be off track, now we're getting on course When you finally catchup do not forget your source Everything, everything old He's making new And when they see you they'll be like is that you? Yeah, that's me, everything fresh now Everything clean I'm blessed up from the footwear to the headtop Messed up, now we're on path with a next bop I ain't even trying to find a reason I'm just saying That was then, but I'm back again on my way in I'm doing better than I ever did I got the blessings from the heaven sent It's time to get it popping I ain't ever stopping Give me the beat, let me ride it Give me the street, let me light it Give me your feet, let me align it I'mma show the youngsters on the wrong path What life is They wanna be masculine So they jump on the fashion thing Designer brands don't make you a man It just makes you a walking mannequin There's more to life than Gucci belts There's more life than bouji girls There's more to life to this mortal life Let me multiply your future wealth Regardless of your past mess you can be better I know it's hard to see your Future when you only see era Everything, everything old He's making new And when they see you they'll be like is that you? Yeah, that's me, everything fresh now Everything clean I'm blessed up from the footwear to the headtop Messed up, now we're on path with a next bop I ain't even trying to find a reason I'm just saying That was then, but I'm back again on my way in I'm doing better than I ever did I got the blessings from the heaven sent It's time to get it popping I ain't ever stopping
