DANMAR and Chance Pressley - Back Then

I done spent a lot of time
Getting nothing chasing patience
I've been around the world twice
And I've done seen million faces
I'm tryna' get in where I fit in
Going hard so I can't fake it
God whispered in me ear
Said this your chance so imma' take it
Got no hate back then
Had it made back then
I ain't had no Audemar
Had no Maybach then
We had to pray back then
Them girls was fake back then
I remember days in college kept the faith back then
Lately I've been cold
I've been colder than a freezer
Tryna' raise the bar
Tryna' simplify the meter
Put down my rifle became a disciple
And really I just started fishing
Pick up my Bible and burning my idols
And really I just started living
I'm just tryna' change the culture come one soul at a time
I'm sitting back writing my rhymes
I promise when granny had died
That I was dead inside
But I had to just hold back the fire
Jesus is king and Jehovah can witness it
I'm going harder than Chinese arithmetic
You want a problem you start it I finish it
I want the hardest Bentley at the dealership
I'm going dummy you thought it was funny
When my hair was long
And then my nose was runny
I jumped out the trap
And went straight to the temple
I started to blow and I popped like a pimple
I'm going crowd surfing on the beat
Spirit is strong but the flesh it be weak
I'm moving too fast and they saying my name
I trusting in Jesus and stay in His lane
Got no hate back then
Had it made back then
I ain't had no Audemar
Had no Maybach then
We had to pray back then
Them girls was fake back then
I remember days in college kept the faith back then
I remember times when I was praying for a dub
I remember times when I was praying just for love
And I remember times when I was begging to above
Then I learned how to trust
Came from the dust
Had to drop off the lust
And lil' Danny in the Phantom
And lil' shawty in the cut
I ain't had no money I just prayed for the dough
Always had a buck for food but never picked back up the four
And I had a broken heart but God done brought me from the low
I'm not the one who paves the way that's something they don't even know
I ain't never been the type to have the grades to pay the teacher
But imma' pay tuition and put this beat on a t-shirt
Got no hate back then
Had it made back then
I ain't had no Audemar
Had no Maybach then
We had to pray back then
Them girls was fake back then
I remember days in college kept the faith back then
