KC Beck - Back Then Lyrics

I went to public school
When I was a kid
I did most of the stuff
Other Kids did
Now I was raised on the
South side of being poor
Weren't no fancy cars
Out my back door
If Sammy Joe
Had ever gave me the chance
I'd have taken her out
For some wild romance
They didn't like my name
Or my games
My money wasn't green enough
They didn't like my car
Or my clothes
They never seemed clean enough
And now that money rolls in
And I'm richer than sin
All I ever do is grin
Cause, Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
I was 17 thought I was cool
Was burning rubber behind the school
And bout the time I popped the clutch
I left that school in a cloud of dust
Barney pulled me over and he called my pa
Locked me in the slammer for disobeying the law
I couldn't have no fun in the sun
I couldn't wait to finish school
So I worked real hard to get far
My Daddy didn't raise no fool
And now that money rolls in
And I'm richer than sin
All I ever do is grin
Cause, Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
They didn't like my name
Or my games
My money wasn't green enough
They didn't like my car
Or my clothes
They never seemed clean enough
And now that money rolls in
And I'm richer than sin
All I ever do is grin
Cause, Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot their all on me
