Moving Backwards (feat. WESTSIDE BOOGIE)

Maybe if I didn't try so hard, I'd be further than where I am
But have patience I'm just a man, and I'm doing all that I can
In everything I do I give the best of me
Until there's nothing left and all I'm left with is the rest of me
Feel like I been stressed, but every breath is still a blessing G
I can't even flex, I know that God has been protecting me, through everything
Cause as I sit and think how far I came
There aint nothing I would change
Cause I prospered through the pain
I flourished through the flames
And when I needed time to heal and grow
I sat in silence and found solace through the rain
Don't nothing 'bout this story sound like happy ever after
But I found peace in every single chapter
And I aint going back to what I came from
I could never be the same one I was before
Cause now that I know after
Every single trial I overcame
Was worth the wisdom I gained
There really aint no point in moving backwards

Coulda, shoulda, woulda, probably woulda changed a lot of things
All the introspection I been doing probably woulda got me out a lot of things
I could sit and doubt a lot of things
But really tell me what's the point in that
Grateful that I made it where I'm at
And I don't ever plan on going back
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, probably woulda changed a lot of things
All the introspection I been doing probably woulda got me out a lot of things
I could sit and doubt a lot of things
But really tell me what's the point in that
Grateful that I made it where I'm at
And I don't ever plan on going back
Coulda, shoulda, woulda probably woulda changed a lot of things
All the introspection I been doing probably woulda got me out a lot of things
I could sit and doubt a lot of things
But really tell me what's the point in that
Grateful that I made it where I'm at
And I don't ever plan on going back

I think my soul just hit another drought
But do I open up and tell you or just thug it out
That's what the struggle 'bout
They telling me how shit gon' take it's time, but it's been hella late
It's something 'bout you steppin' on what's mine that make me detonate
Know I broke her faith, because I left her when she needed me
My demons getting greedy, see my guilty conscious eating me
Uh
Remind of the light you see in me
So you could help me be the man I know I need to be
Aw shit
Talking to the Lord cause everything I'm touching I destroy
Sharpening my sword 'til I cut through the noise
Aw shit
Empty out this pain until I'm overjoyed
Cause I still got this hole
And I still got this void
Uh, Aw shit
Know you want that bread but fix yo' heart, that's really wealth
Them battles in yo' head, you by yo' self, can't call for help
Uh
God come lend Yo' hand
Cause You the only one I know could come and pull me out this jam
