Lookin' Back & Lookin' Forward

Yo
From a younger age
I had seen the bigger picture
Grew up poor as fuck
But I knew one day shit would switch up
So life was never stressing me
Boy, I know who I am meant to be
Took my first hit in elementary
It changed my life, it was meant to be
You ain't hating yet, shit you better be
Non expendable, that's my pedigree
When my pops kicked rocks
He left me in a trailer
Whatever happened there
I would call it failure
So don't you dare
Ask me for a favor
Unless you did somethin' for me
I do not wanna hear your
Problems, nigga I got my own
Ain't no conversations, I'm on the go
Nigga I knew that, I would reach my goals
So you never seen me, I was like a ghost
I was working hard, I'm supposed to be
I was taking dabs, I was smoking weed,
R.I.P.
B.I.G.
Cause you ain't never been as broke as me
All we had faith in was rosaries
Out of cold concrete, I done rose to be
Seen my momma smile, kept me goin wow
She the only one who had hope for me
I love you momma

Lookin' back and lookin' forward
See my past, see where I'm goin
Always growing, always knowing
Breathing right and staying focused

Lookin' back and lookin' forward
Lookin' back and lookin' forward

Ain't nothing the same now, I hate how
You say that like it's a bad thing, its 'post to
People tell me that I changed, nah...
You just ain't looking with the same eyes

Look at me now
I stayed down
You know what I'm bout
Respect thou
Christ conscious, I unplugged the wires
Ain't nobody help me, but the holy higher
Wasn't given light, but given a lighter
The fuel was my life, and now I'm the fire
I'm a soul survivor, it's best to move wiser
All the shit I been through, powers I acquired
What I aspire to be is a provider for my family
Guess my vision wider
More money, that's more solutions
That's more problems for the ones who choosing
I ain't choosing I'm just flowin'
I don't judge God, he all knowin'
(Love)

Lookin' back and lookin' forward
See my past, see where I'm goin
Always growing, always knowing
Breathing right and staying focused

Lookin' back and lookin' forward
Lookin' back and lookin' forward

Ain't nothing the same now, I hate how
You say that like it's a bad thing, its 'post to
People tell me that I changed, nah...
You just ain't looking with the same eyes
