Back In The Day (Explicit) - Mac Miller

Lyrics by：Malcolm McCormick

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

I used to have a dream now it seem

That I'ma live it in real life

Gettin' free jeans good w**d feelin' real nice

Used to think that I was too short or too dumb

Just a newcomer to the game tryna do somethin'

Used to runnin' after ice cream trucks

But now I just stroll lacе my Nike's up

I'm a nice clean cut good lookin' individual

Fillin' up a notebook with rhymes when I be in the school

Learn quick that nobody here invincible

We feel big but in reality we miniscule

Try and make a million bucks before I reach my pinnacle

Supernova status from basically invisible

Growin' up thinkin' it was cool to be a criminal

Until I saw a couple homies go down

See now that isn't me or anything I'm finna be

I want the money cars h*es clothes a kid can dream

I used to talk to girls that wasn't even into me

Now they hit me up wantin' intimacy

But nah I got a girl and she down for me

My little Juliet chillin' on the balcony

If I need it she gon' run a hundred miles for me

Love me for me not who I'm 'bout to be

And if they didn't believe then I can do without 'em

'Cause at the end of the day I'm just Malcolm

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

Hey hey

Just a little snotty nose tryna find his pot of gold

Stayin' up late on the phone always callin' h*es

Never thought I'd blow no one took me serious

Now they see me walkin' down the street like "Oh there he is"

As a kid anything was possible

But momma knows the hottest flow

Don't put me on the honor roll

Grades started slippin' the classes I be skippin'

Tried to tell me that I was a fool I wouldn't listen no

As a youngin' I was playin' pretend

My wonder years never thought they would end

Back back in my glory days way before the haters

A good night sleep had me energized for the day

When I would look up at the planets in they orbit

Before this life got distorted

Before the money was a plan

Before I ever thought that I would need to be a man

Somethin' like a Peter Pan nah I ain't tryna grow up

'Cause bein' old sucks I just wanna go nuts

Before I drank a beer or ever took a hit of w**d

When entertainment was my mom's readin' mysteries

Takin' you back to them nursery rhymes

When I thought the world just deserved to be mine

Said I'm takin' you back to them nursery rhymes

Back to the beginning put the verse in rewind

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

'Cause I'ma be okay

Back in the day when it was a dream

Nobody believed in what I could be

But now I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

I'm laughin' at 'em like "Ha-ha-ha"

Haha yeah

So this goes out to

Any of y'all haha

That ain't tryna get old haha
