Back in the Day wasn’t no joke

By: Tionna Brand

Well, Girl I’ll tell you

back in the day wasn’t no joke

It had blood on it

and ice to cool it down

and whips everywhere

back in the day wasn’t no

Joke

I be seeing dead

pickin’ in the pitch black

So girl, do you think the people

no more whip, seeing dead, pickin’ in pitch black?

back in the day wasn’t no joke
