Rudimental - Backin the Day lyrics

(Rudimental Intro) (Verse One) I think of back in the day When these other real rappers still had something to say The words spoke then still meant something today But we never hear sh** when we're grinding for pay all day Those echoes only travel through hallways I play the part, but i wonder who god plays It big or pac Pica**o or basquiat You pull ya new whip but i leave the lot It feel hard for me to fathom I got drive when i be listening to a phantom Your words mean sh** keep living inside a pantom-mime We're floating on til we fly I hope we're known til we die, it does feel good to see what's inside, yep but we hide, case we meet lies You claim we fam but yet we need ties... I'm not wise But i see a lot with my eye on the prize I need two hands when im climbing the skies So when i fall i can still applaud i dont need to crawl When you taught me to run My days went dark you had bought me the sun, i had thought we had won But it was too soon to say Tomorrow give her the world and the moon today (Hook) I'm thinking on back in the day I'm thinking on back in the day And i really woulda wondered what had happened to me If we all stopped rapping for pay And we just found love stop macking away Uh And finally found the truth today But it already happened all Back in the day YEAH (Verse Two) I think of back in the day When these other real rappers still had something to say The words spoke then still meant something today But we never hear sh** when we're grinding for pay all day Those echoes only travel through hallways I play the part, but i wonder who god plays It big or pac Pica**o or basquiat You pull ya new whip but i leave the lot behind We will convince you we're fine Pandora's Box an empty land mine Think if you open you might be coping flow in the levy drown til it's open You can't contain a closed mind Proving its power in its own time, hope you're gone find an end to the light The thunder struck slow i fear when its bright Could strike me three times, throw my peace signs Keeping a lease i hope to see mine owned Before it be taken on Another new heart beat as low as a baritone, good as a barabond, holy as matrimon Say you run me, well we'll see at the marathon beefing the cattle on Try to shoot my wings, I been, the next kin, as fly as an eagle on Air force one til I soar a lil higher Sights set high but I'm looking through the wire Thought I feared this, now I'm fearing you a liar Came with an end date and you expire it all, I finally crawl Where i never had run Inside my palm I'll be holding the sun, icarus had become Another new tune to play Tomorrow give her the world And my tomb today (Hook) I'm thinking on back in the day I'm thinking on back in the day And i really woulda wondered what had happened to me If we all stopped grabbing for pay And we just found love stop macking away Uh And finally found the truth today But it already happened all back in the day (Verse Three) I come from back in the day When these other real rappers still had something to say The words spoke then still meant something today But we never hear sh** when we're grinding for pay all day These echoes only travel through hallways I play the part, but i wonder who god plays It big or pac Pica**o or basquiat You pull ya new whip but i leave and, rot Beneath the surface too deep Losing your mind to find what you keep, reap what you sow when faced with the hunger Insomniacs are free from the slumber My cogniac attack with a plunder I hide in the synonyms I'm under But when I'm envisioning I wonder Freedom happened today, reclaim crowns it ain't now, I left it all back in the ....
