If I Could Go Back
You ever wish you can go back in time?
Maybe right your wrongs?
Correct your mistakes?
Just wanna go back
I feel you
I feel the same way
I hope you hear me
Who you become when you're alone
Is really who you are
Tell the truth
I'm still amazed
At how I came this far
I tend to isolate myself
As a form of safety
So if I cry when I'm alone
Tell me what that make me?
Any less of a man?
If I get lost
Amongst the darkness
Will you reach for my hand?
You hear me talkin
The pain got me
Fightin' my past
I told Jesus
"Take the wheel"
And put my foot on the gas
Listen
Traumatic memories
Are still there
If I say it in a song
That's cus I really been there
My best friend
Was killed in front of me
When I was 9
Lord knows
Ain't no runnin'
From what lives inside yo mind
If I could go back
And tweak it a little
To bring me peace
Tell Nipsey to stay at home
Tell Kobe to take the streets
If I could go back
And talk to my homie
Thru his depression
Tell 'em how much he's loved
And how his life
Is such a blessing
Let me go back
I know he was thinking
"Why even bother?"
But he couldn't beat the devil
Now his kids don't got a father
Damn
I swear to God
If I could go back
I woulda read the signs
And tried to save you bro
You know that
I shouldn't blame myself
For all the trauma that's built
So if it really ain't my fault
Then why am I feelin' this guilt?
You hear me talkin
My mama told me I'm jaded
Cus someone I used to love
Became someone that I hated
Now
If it was simple
I'd forgive and forget
But I harvested all these feelings
From the time that we spent
Really thought
She had my back
I see that wasn't the case
Had the nerve to say
You got me
Then you lied to my face
Mama listen
Cus I hear you
When you say that I'm jaded
Emotions choke me
When I'm sober
I can breathe when I'm faded
So for that brief
Moment in time
It's like I'm free from it all
I don't expect for you to get it
Just respect it
That's all
You hear me talkin
Just respect it
That's all
I don't expect for you to get it
Just respect it
That's all
You hear me talkin
I swear to God
If I could go back
If I could go back
I swear to God
If I could go back
I swear to God
If I could go back
Maybe right your wrongs?
Correct your mistakes?
Just wanna go back
I feel you
I feel the same way
I hope you hear me
Who you become when you're alone
Is really who you are
Tell the truth
I'm still amazed
At how I came this far
