Way Back When Lyrics

I just miss all my homies from Chicago for real man

That's home no matter what

And I was thinking about this the other day, too like

There are so many of you guys that I haven't talked to in years

But that don't mean I don't think about you

I think about y'all all the time

You were such a huge part of my life and there's so many to name

So I'm not gonna be able to name all of you but

This one's for you

Yeah I remember summer 2010 when I enlisted

Was afraid to leave all my homies, I knew that I would miss em

But I had to go

Needed a change just know I had to grow

From a boy to a man

Decisions that I had to cope with

I just want y'all to understand

That I got all this love for you still but I just ain't have the upper hand

Cause life was hard as fuck, on the other hand

When the music take off I'm comin back n we gon party n blow a hundred grand

I swear

Cause way back when we would turn up til the sunrise

Now some of y'all look into your son's eyes

Wish I was there to see it but sometimes

Life gives you different doors and you gotta walk through em so you can upsize

But I'm glad I did cause it made me who I am

Still the same me just improved after time with uncle sam

Ain't gon lie I been keepin up wit y'all on the gram

Just know I'm proud of every single one of you

And even though we've gone our separate ways

My love ain't go away

Life kept us in the same book just on a different page

But I still reminisce on times where we was young in age

Grab a fifth and meet up at waters I swear those were the days

Then take the party up to Taylor's crib

Sittin her room takin shots of Jim n Jager with

Blunts in rotation

Got the two liter for a chaser

Sip on it

Then we'd dip n go home so we could just do it all again ha

Skateboarding on Mozart with all the guys

Patrick Peter Tony Aaron Josiah Connor and David on the rise

Steady grindin for the pros yeah

Life was kick push ain't got no time for the hoes yeah

Watchin all these videos n tryina be like em

Shit even down to how we dressed that's why I copped all them Nikes

Call it a little bit obsessed but thought our future was bright

And then we all grew up n we grew apart

But I still love you that's comin from the heart

Remember livin out at Patrick's crib

Still one of my best friends doesn't matter where we live

Never gonna change

You my brother hope you know the shit

Anybody tries to disrespect you then it's over with

Yeah

Can't forget about Irma n all the times we'd laugh

Over all the things

I miss all the times we used to have

Known you for forever and I'm kinda sad that we never talk

But I still think about you like all the time

Just like Taylor you my little sister

One of my oldest friends can't explain how much I miss ya

Used to sleep over at your place even more than my own

I'm sure your dad probably felt like I was just livin with ya

But we still close and I couldn't be more thankful

For you and for your support

With my dream of makin this music

Not tellin me I was foolish

From ballin back on the court to annihilating the booth you've had my back

That's how it'll always be

Rest in peace to Christian Schroeder what an awful loss

You were family to me hopefully I never cross paths

With the one who took you from us

Don't know what I'd do

Just want you to know that every day I be missin you

Theresa too

You were part of the group

We had some wild times

Wish we woulda kept in contact because I woulda tried

Keepin you from doin what you did

What a shame

Left us way too soon

The world would be a way better place with you yeah

All these memories goin through my mind right now man

The good times

The bad times

But really

They were the best times

Heh

Yeah

JJ I remember sleepin on your floor

For three months but you woulda let me stay for more

If I needed to

I'm thankful for you homie best believe it

Got me really into rappin

Never thought I'd be surpassin you

Nah I'm playin

You and Marcus makin tracks together

And he would tell me that with every track I'm gettin better

Man I love and miss you all

That'll always be the same

Just know my feelings bout each and every one of you won't ever change

Yeah
