Jr - Back in the Day Lyrics

I remember back in the day
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
I remember back in alleyways
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
I remember back in the day
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
I remember back in alleyways
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
It was pourin out

Have you ever wondered what it means to live your life
Do it right
Put in work every single night
Keeping a grind so tight
Til the day you die
And see an unknown light
Possibilities are endless like my flow
And my girl said "Jr, you're the only one they chose, don't throw it away no matter what problems do come close. And it's true that you're extra, but if you weren't doin the most then we'd probably be living in a car thinkin about going too far with depression, stressin every single day about money and food in our bellies, and you haven't been questionin your actions and striving to be"
I said baby let's be real it's all about you and me
We need to reach the stars, also known as our dreams
Make some C.R.E.A.M.
But first we need love and happiness 'for I get the foreign and go travelin
Cali, Japan, and Paris
Yeah you know i'm after it, yeah

I remember back in the day
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
I remember back in alleyways
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
It was pourin out

In 2016 I almost lost my life
Pills in my system and I really wasn't tryna fight
In 2017 I found happiness along with affiliating with many amazing people
In 2018 I made one year with my honey and started making money
And now it's 2019 and it's up and down
But I know who I am, what I want, and I know I could never ever mess with these clowns

They need to drown in their ego
And to find the reason why they need hope
Cause of right now their life is a joke
Still wishin the best for them
Cause in the end we're still women and men
Finding happiness and motivation
Damn this life is crazy
I need to stop pacin, 'for I panic
Don't know if I need a miracle, or some magic
Shit is tragic
When people get shot in those graphic drive-bys
Damn

I remember back in the day
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
We was poor out there
I remember back in alleyways
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
It was pourin out
