Since Way Back

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

Oakland to the world

Let me talk my talk

Chorus

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

I been doing this since way back

Drop the top let the sun hit the dash

Count it up fast watch the paper stack

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

Verse 1

Sixteen candles and a pocket full of dreams

Mama said boy nothing here is free

So I flipped every corner till the money came clean

Now the whole block hollering at me

Palm trees lean when my ride roll through

Old school bumping like it ought to do

Shoes stay crispy and my chain stay cold

Been a grown man since I was fifteen years old

Chorus

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

I been doing this since way back

Drop the top let the sun hit the dash

Count it up fast watch the paper stack

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

Post-Chorus

Way back

Way back

Yeah we been here way back

Verse 2

Taught myself patience taught myself game

Every single hustler in the town know my name

I ain't never needed nobody to explain

How to turn a little nothing into fortune and fame

Tell the young boys keep they business off the phone

Tell the young girls get they money on they own

I done seen a hundred fake friends come and go

Real ones still riding when the cold wind blow

Chorus

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

I been doing this since way back

Drop the top let the sun hit the dash

Count it up fast watch the paper stack

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

Post-Chorus

Way back

Way back

Yeah we been here way back

Bridge

I came

I stayed

I got paid

Every summer every winter every single decade

Chorus

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

I been doing this since way back

Drop the top let the sun hit the dash

Count it up fast watch the paper stack

Gold on my neck and my city on my back

Way back

Way back
