Backpedal

Pretty proficient with my back
I'm, pretty proficient with my - Ha ha! Backpedal! Yeah

Yo, I'm - pretty proficient with my backpedal
I'm - pretty prolific at a low level
I've always been coming up with plans with no follow-through
My entire existence is just a giant deja-vu
How do you do? I've met you, I've done this before
As of tomorrow, I resolve to do this no more
You know what, come Monday, I'm a new man
Start the week off strong, that's always been a solid plan!
Oh, wait! This is Monday number 52?
See, this is exactly what I was telling you!
I resolved to turn my life around today - a year ago!
Cheers to anniversaries! What's another day or so
Or so, or so I thought, or so I think
With all the self-sabotage, it's like I want my ship to sink
My actions keep drowning out my speech
I keep making wishes, then push my dreams out of reach

But I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!
I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!

Backspace, backspace, Control + Alt + Delete
Sorry, old habits Die Hard, Bruce 'Wil-lease'
Will ya please, cease with the decrease
In your productivity and just come out with a release, already!
Okay, fine! You win, you win,
Quit hounding me already voice of reason from within
I'll make the shifts now, not Monday or tomorrow
It was just bit of extra time that I asked to borrow
But nooo, nooo, you have to make your changes now!
Who are you talking to? Myself! ... Ok. Wow
Quit judging me, you've always been so hard on yourself!
I want the best for you, besides you could use some help
Really? Look what has become of me
All because I resolved to introduce consistency
Consistently reapeatedly reapeating that I'll change
Well get this through your brain

Cuz I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!
I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!

It's been a long time comin'
And it's gon' be a long time still because
No! No, no, no that's not what we agreed to
We're doing this right now!
But season 5 of "Where'd I Park My Car" is on!
What?! I know you know that's not a thing!
Yeah, but it should be... It should be
Come on, man, let's go!
Ugh, fine!

I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!
I'm - not about to give up - No!
I'm - not about to take it - Slow!
It's - time to put the pedal to the metal
And switch up the gears so there's no - backpedal!
