Ab-Soul - Back Then Lyrics
I'm turnt up right now
I'm turnt up right now
I'm off half a bean it's like eighty degrees
But I got the chills right now
[x3]
[Ab-Soul:]
She looks hot so I need that bop if you can understand my language
A dollar might fuck your main bitch
I fuck a main bitch
Ain't got no main bitch
That was back then, no disrespect to none of them
Cause what I learned from all of em'
Is that everything comes to an end
So I'mma party to the end, can I finish, counting ends
I don't drive but I'm in a Benz, she don't lie 'less she with her man
I don't licky lick, she knows that's a joke
She suck dick off impulse, that's 69 if you can't divide
I wasn't great in algebra, but I can talk you out ya bra
Take you places you can't see, with just two eyeballs (three eyes)
I got three eyes, I got three legs, pick one
Long-term, tre piece, but this will be my fifth run
Harry fraudulent on the beat I beat up that's my word
Action Bronson got the weed, I need, I didn't have to pee
Back then, way back when, I was broke as Bruh Man
Nigga my time is coming, look what I done did
Swag on 300, TDE we ballin' man
Inside the game, ain't too much change
I told y'all I been gone insane, but that was
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when, look what I done did
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when, look what I done did
[ScHoolboy Q:]
Where your nigga at homegirl, he ain't shit
I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
Dollar after dollar, deja vu, bitch
I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
Sacked out blacked out racked out
I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
Everywhere I go gotta have a ho
I'm ballin' man, I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
I'm ballin' man, I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
Dollar after dollar, deja vu, bitch
I'm ballin' man, I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
I'm ballin' man, I'm ballin' man, I'm a baller, man
Hit her one time don't call her, man
[Ab-Soul:]
Back then, way back then you'd have thought I had sense
That's 'cause you ain't know what I had since
Ask you I'm getting, dude don't call me BMF
I'm spinning every dough I get, old marijuana by the zippy
Chicken Fetuccine Alfredo, teenagers of promethazine
Codeine, that's 16 and lean
Keep that on the low, I'm talking too much, I had two eatables
Pour up a foe for soul, I'm doing incredible
Considering my schedule
BET you think matters if it don't, it pay, though
Show 'em the sing, that top dog, should've signed a page row
Grade A though you keep coming, just keep coming
Back then, way back when, I was broke as Bruh Man
Nigga my time is coming, look what I done did
Swag on 300, TDE we ballin' man
Inside the game, ain't too much change
I told y'all I been gone insane, but that was
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when, look what I done did
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when
Back then, way back when, look what I done did

Ab-Soul Back Then Comments
why does everyone hate Q and Rock so bad? Ab Soul I'm sorry is fucking shit. WeK Repeated lyrics to cover time in the songs, lyrics make no fucking sence and keeps rhyming gibberish and the beats he uses are shyte! Q and Rock go hard, anger and pain in the flow, some beats could be better on song albums etc but overall really good
Blank Face and 90059 were below expectations. If Q was on lean during OXYMORON then I'd say get back on it if that's what will cure the shit beats and lyrics just like Em
listen to these tracks bruh ab-soul has skills: west coast wu, lyrically speaking, run the show, writers block, Huey knew, terrorist threats, 47 bars, 3rd eye, book of soul, and passion
Andrew Watson youreeee maddddd tripping, ab-soul's word play been advanced since 2011, he has to dumb it down to clowns like you because otherwise they'll say his shit is overrated. .
Nah mah give him his due D.R.U.G.S is an ok song and he has a few others that are ok butni just feel sorry for him when he is in any songs with the rest of T.D.E or Black Hippy, agreed it isnt fair to compare but he isnt as strong as the rest
1.q 2.rashad 3.skiiwalker 4.rock 5. Soul 6.kendrik
anyone know the sample?
ab soul
kenkrick
schoolboy
jay rock
Ab soulo and k dot are TDE
1.TDE
2. Everything else
This is the only comparison necessary.
Ya straight stupid AF if u think jayrock isn't number 1 in TDE
1.jayrock
2.ab-soul
3.Kendrick Lamar
4.schoolboy Q
5.Isaiah rashad
6.sza
Dont Compare these guys, they all got different kind of rap style...But u stupid AF if u dont think Kendrick is No 1 ... and not only in TDE
he might be number one right one compared to other weak rappers , but in TDE hes not number one if your talking lyrically
1.Soul
2.Kendrick
3.Q
4.Rock
1. Q
2. Kendrick
3. Soulo
4. jay rock
The fact q seems to have the best album out doesnt mean nothing ( not even the best ) my favourite album is section 80 but the best one is soulo for his lyrics and what he represents he REAL
1. kendrick
2. schooboy
3. jay rock
4. ab soul
Wow, you need to look way more into TDE @beezybest101 ab soul is my favorite in the group tho
1. Schoolboy q 1. Jay Rock 1. Ab-soul 1. K. Dot
kendrick might be the best out of the four... but that's a big might. my favorite ab-soul, followed by schoolboy q... just more my style... any way you rate the four yourself is fair imo... def a preference thing when all four are dope for four different reasons
Kendrick not even the best in my eyes. Soulo is. Idk, but that's my opinion. When it comes to lyricism I'm behind my nigga Soul.
1. Ab-Soul 1. ScHoolboy Q 1. Kendrick Lamar 1. Jay Rock
see what i did there?
VVVV BLACK HIPPY!!! glad yall made it~!!!!!!!
Souls the best trippy rapper with the best views on the world q is the best rapper to get turnt the fuck up to kendricks the best in the game and jay rock is a thug ass niggas w a dope ass flow cant knock any of em..
Everyone in tde is good at what theyre good at theyre all the best at their own thing u cant compare them thats why they the perfect team
Soulo q collab album. PETITION TIME!
Anyone saying Jay Rock is the best member of TDE just go home cuz you are drunk as hell! Jay got one album out and all he talking is stereotypical westcoast stuff, where is his second album?? Ab-Soul got real lyrics, he is a pure philosopher and lyrical genius plus he got two albums and two mixtapes that will stand the test of time. Schoolboy Q just has a dope flow, other than that he is nothing special. And as for Kendrick yeah he started out good and section 80 is one of the best albums in the past ten years but GKMC is not as great as people make out.
@Adam Mellis
yeah but just because everyone is unique doesn't mean nobody outshines 1 another..it's still a competitive art form
my opinion it goes..
Kendrick Lamar
Ab Soul
Schoolboy Q
Jay Rock
i only put Q above rock because Q is more complex
and he's doubled Kendrick's GKMC sales..that's amazing
hell nahhhhhh GKMC is our generation's reasonable doubt.... shit's a holistic story from start to finish. One of the few commercial releases (along w/ NWTS) that you can bump every song and a year later still gives you that feeling when you first heard it. classic. ppl just love to hate success, cuz 'kendrick changed'... the fuck is he supposed to do???
Bro GKMC cannot touch Section 80, Section 80 is a classic that will go down in history, GKMC does not quite have the same spark. Without comparing to Section 80 its a very good album but knowing that Kendrick can make an album as good as Section 80 makes me feel disappointed in GKMC, thats just my opinion.
@BeezyBest101 but you have to realize your comparing a mixtape to a corporately sponsored CD. On a mixtape the artist has full delegation of his craft and can put out any music he or she may choose. For a CD you have to stay within the confines of commercial success. The fact that he can paint a picture so vivid and raw but with such elegance and formality is true art form. He went platinum, but the impact he made is immeasurable. I promise that GKMC will go down universally as a classic before 80 is even brought into the conversation. I love both joints tho, they both are classics to me.
@Hunter Jones GKMC is better
based of, Sing About Me alone.....
my nigga
Ab Soul
Your all Tripping, Soul, Rock, Q , Kendrick.
I like the song, hate the beat
I fucking hate this DJ.
lol i aint even gonna judge cuz ab soul & q really the main ones in the group besides king kendrick XD . hes at the top :)
you're forgetting that rock started black hippy.
@redmonkee88 kendrick was signed before rock, rock was just the first experiment, q did come up with the black hippy idea tho
@BeezyBest101 agree ab soul ftw
Soulo ho3!!!!! I ENJOY ALLLLL members of Black hippy and couldnt choose a specific order to rate them, but to me Soulo sticks out the most! His style and intelligence is JUST what the game needs!
#SOULOHOE

You can't compare tDE to each other , they rapp different
if you really fucked with black hippy you would realize ab-soul is the most lyrical n q is on his shit tf you hearing ?
you a lil bitch nigga
The biggest misconception in Black Hippy is that Kendrick is better than Soul
Black Hippy best thing since NWA
Lol I see what you did there
i fucked with black hippy whe nthey first came out. uoeno mofo. listen to q more u rlly dont know
Harry Fucking Fraud!
You're stupid dawg, you dont know what you're saying.

3. Jay rock
4.Ab
LOL Q is the weakest in TDE hes dope but still the weakest wtf are u talking about
it sounds like they were rollin when they made this lol
this was soul weakest DRONEr was the shiii tho
@ kymoni: He not long just realeased 'The end is near' & 'Christopher DRONEr' dis is just Soulo havin some fun!!
man the truth.. ab soul is changing... its what the people want.. stupid rap.. hes changing for the money.. smh
what?? hes better than j rock..
I understand where you're coming from, however, dude was in the process of recording his biggest album. It may seem like a waste of bars to spit his hottest on a mixtape that's mostly for publicity.
q is the worst of em....no ofenense q its the truth step it up its like u aint tryin
We need a new day in age bone thugs n harmony, with all the top rappers that are "On Top" to be involved in.
Q AND SOUL ALWAYS MAKE FOOLISH TRACKS LIKE THESE
imo Q is getting better
but Ab-Soul is dumbing down some of his new stuff a lil.
SOLO HOE!! wtf was up with Q's verse...? lol oh well still gonna jam oxymoron!
dafuq!? smh
doesnt matter how hard you ride em just make sure you pay all of TDE with the same amount of homage. theyre a team. kdot may lead but they all are amazing in their own ways.
They're riding Kendrick hard too
He's so fuckin great.
agree, hope ab soul stay dope as he proved in control system...u
know what i mean, control system = badass beats!!! I WANT NEW SOULO
STUFF!!! :(
Schoolboy Q/ Ab-Soul been doing quite a few songs with him.
Mac Miller and black hippy all need to collab.
i fux with Soul-brother #2
Ab-Soul >>>>>> Tupac
yall are crazy. of course this them! they tryna make the whole world know who they are. watch out tho, nigga said hes got a third eye aha damn soul smh..
Why does this sound mainstreamish
My nigga went in
i thought it said something about a hairy frog when i first heard the producer thing on the new york renaissance mixtape
IM TURNT UP RIGHT NOW
this doesn't sound very good compared to teir other shit....
Christopher DRONEr
idk..i still like ab souls old shit. theres more soul. more heart. more feeling. same with Q. but..thats jus my opinion.
idk..sounds like that new wave shit..n ahh, im not likin it too much.
Ab mothafuckin Soul. That boy coldblooded
I Fuck wit it
I really hope you're wrong about that because I just had a feeling this would happen after Kendrick blew up smh.
Sounds like the money is infecting their minds and hearts. Soul not spitting like he used too and Q has taken another step down. Smh
soullllllllll
Is there an instrumental to this anywhere????
This just doesn't resonate at all
Q could have done way better. He has stuff that is way better than this. But still Q all day
Soul can do better than this...
lol thought q was actually gonna spit
Soul like usual
Garbage
sickest beat 2013
Q us real fans arent feelin this main stream ish. Still liked tho..
Q that's it?
Yeah Q's bit is a hook!! But still it was still a lazy one. Soul should have made him re-write
Its a hook not a verse
Yo straight Schoolboy Q's part was ass
La' Musica de Harry Fraud!!! #Turrn't.Up.X.T.D.E
