DKE - Back in the Day

Chorus
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see

Verse 1
If I wanted it like this to be successful on my way
Then why am I fighting with my demons, feeling stuck right in my place
And why they hyping me up acting like I’m extra ordinary
Didn’t sign up for this propaganda bullshit, I ain’t worried
I ain’t worried bout these bitches trifling asses washing dishes
Watch your sixes, they be plotting, scheming on your deepest wishes
Like they genies in the bottle, faking you just like a model
I be trying to warn my bros, how they creep on the low
Like we was back in the day
She loved the words I would say
I hypnotized her away
Like she was game, I could play…. heh

Chorus
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see

Verse2
If you wanted me, then why you treat me like i’m over-due
Why’d you fill my head with non-sense, god I must look like a fool
They prolly laughing at how stupid I fell for your tricks, it’s cool
I just pick up my heart’s pieces, rearrange back together
Nothing last forever, and nothing ever stays the same
I think I like the pressure, Of not knowing if imma make it
Always had the lesser, didn’t know what mattered til it vanished
Lacked the knowledge & integrity to be the man I hated
But I did it, I lived it, I owned up that’s real shit
Just move it, or lose it, and cruise with my music
I’m lucidly dreaming & teaming with demons
Who fiend for a reason to fight back, get even

Chorus
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
I need something else for me
You ain’t helping me with these problems
You ain’t helping me to see

If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
What I need is to be me
If I wanted you I’da told you
If I needed you i’da showed you
I don’t want what I need
What I need is to be me
