Back Then
Song by Mogli the Iceburg
E
Puff puff pass and I'm in that
Circle with my boys
Roll the weed in the zig zag
Lightin' up these trees like a forest fire
Where smokey the bear at
Preacher tried to talk but we ain't really tryin' to hear that
Mix a little teenage angst with some ignorance
And every chance they get ya know these
Kids will get belligerent
'Cause though we know better
In this world, we unprepared
'Cause peer pressure strong and it
Was never cool to care about the consequences
Flash forward 5 years and the story
Done changed see I did a little growin' up
It's crazy how perspective change
When your head on your knees in
The bathroom throwin' up
But still, it took a fatal accidental overdose
Up in my circle just to wake me up
In time for me to get it
The fabric of this life is delicate
And most don't get too many chances
I'm just thankful that I never fully ripped it
I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
I remember back then
When we were both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
I remember back then
When we were both kids
And we would chill and talk
About the life, we wanna live
All up in your momma crib
Memories just take me back man
Nowadays it's hard for me to tell
Just where you're at man
Look me in my eyes
But you always looking distant
There's emptiness inside 'em but
Your mind is so indifferent
You don't mind it when the people
All around you say you're dumb
In a world that's full of pain
It's easier to stay numb
It started with the drink, graduated to the weed
Pop another pill, now you pourin' up that lean
And you say that this is it
But homie I don't really buy it
When the boundaries you set
Are demolished after you try it
I ain't trippin' I'm just saying
That I miss the friend I used to know
Pop a molly on me and you
Flippin' like reciprocals
So ain't much I can really go and do
But say a prayer for you dude
If you ever need me homie
I'll be there for you dude
I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
Circle with my boys
Roll the weed in the zig zag
Lightin' up these trees like a forest fire
Where smokey the bear at
Preacher tried to talk but we ain't really tryin' to hear that
Mix a little teenage angst with some ignorance
And every chance they get ya know these
