Skepta - Back Then lyrics

[Intro] Plasticman production Very early, very authentic, icy Boy Better Know Tracksuit mafia Sun is blazin' [Hook] Back then hoes didn't want me See me on the magazine cover and they're all on me The sun goes down, these skets wanna call on me They can see that I make paper My last mixtape was a game changer And now I got these hoes on my iPhone talkin' 'bout, "Hey stranger" I just double tap Switch apps, ain't nobody got time for that Jump on the plane and I kick back This plane that I'm on got Wi-Fi Run up your mouth online, get a b**hslap Cause man don't do that tit for tat Don't wanna tweet, don't wanna talk, don't wanna interact with you [Verse] I can't take these n***as Who the f** raised these n***as?

Phone rings Voicemail for them tings, trust me, voicemail [Hook] Yo, back then hoes didn't want me See me on the magazine cover and they're all on me The sun goes down, these skets wanna call on me They can see that I make paper Blacklisted was a game changer And now I got these hoes on my iPhone talkin' 'bout, "Hey stranger" I just double tap Switch apps, ain't nobody got time for that Jump on the plane and I kick back This plane that I'm on got Wi-Fi Run up your mouth online, get a b**hslap Cause man don't do that tit for tat Don't wanna tweet, don't wanna talk, don't wanna interact with you [Outro] Icy Different 'Stician
