Go Back

From time to time I look back
I go back

Uh, there was something special 'bout the times that we had
Our loved ones in the penitentiaries, couple in rehabs
We each had same opportunity, now he mad
'Cause I been doing good since coming home, looking like he mad
I heard that she mad, 'cause she ain't had me at my best
Life give us different lessons, I guess we ain't passed the test
There's a reason everything happen
I bought another ticket for the ride
This time the seatbelt's fastened

Thinking back I loved them days, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause life is evolution, had to fall to spread my wings
Now I soar through the clouds with the woman of my dreams
I go back from time to time to see the beauty chaos brings

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze 'em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blown
Back and forth over those train tracks

We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man, I wish that I could go back
That I could go

Young, dumb and broke
Just tryna get out the hole
The sound of a tortured soul
Is water boiling on the stove

Mama singing, "Ooh child, things are gone get easier"
Meanwhile, I'm 'bout to move out
Thinking I ain't in need of her
16 with a chip on my shoulder, I couldn't budge
I thought I was a grown man and so did the judge

Now I'm riding reminiscing
Thinking how I overcame challenges
Wish Ice Mike woulda listened
'Fore they gave the man all them calendars
Reece just did 18 years, he's home, and he's feeling fine
But he wasn't even 18 year old when that man committed that crime
And I'm just riding, rotating right now, and I'm reflecting
I'ma roll one up and have a freestyle session

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze 'em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blown
Back and forth over those train tracks

We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man, I wish that I could go back
That I could go

You know I'm blessed to be where I'm at
Never thought that we'd make it this far
And I love where I'm at today
But some days I just wish I could go back

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was young
And we ain't had no worries, none at all
I wish that I could go back
Turn the hands of time and freeze
But that's more than a clock on the wall

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze 'em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blown
Back and forth over those train tracks

We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man, I wish that I could go back
That I could go
