When I's a lil nigga , with the dirty drawls and all the women
I wish I could go back, to those times
I wish that I could say, to the younger me , that it's alright
That everything gon change, and thats life
But it's all gon be ok, after all we all just start from the beginning
Yeah yeah
Let's start from the beginning
When I was lil nigga with the dirty drawls and all the women
When I could over sleep , miss 30 calls without a care in the world
Before my baby momma was a baby momma and was bearin' our girl
Before the cynical thoughts came with all of that sinnin'
Tell my uber driver take me way back
One mistake I made, was when I came back
'Cause the side bitches want a playback
Tell a frontin' nigga better stay back
And these states don't make me pay state tax
But we can't escape its hard to face that
And it's hard to miss like a face tat
I'm from a diddy city where they take that
Girls really pretty but they paychecks , gettin spent on bottles and a face lift
I just love you in your natural state miss
F*ck a hair weave and you ain't fat
Why you talk that way like you ain't black
Yo curves good and that ass fat
We learn bad habits from our habitat
But I can see the dark through that camera flash
You can see it all through that mirror
(Yeah)
Good smoke clouds have you seein things a lil clearer
(Yeah)
Like a better reason to show more love to yo peers
(Yeah)
'Stead fightin' each other for years
(Yeah)
I wish I could go back, to those times
I wish that I could say, to the younger me , that it's alright
That everything gon change, and thats life
But it's all gon be ok, after all we all just start from the beginning
Can we take it back to the basics , Shit I need some therapy
Steady fightin' myself 'cause my limits the only scarin' me
All the shit that I seen, I just feel it's all been preparin' me
For the top of the mountain 'cause up there it cant be no fear in me
From dust to dust and then back 'gain
From a across the sea where they captured men
I ain't ask for this but I pay my rent and rest my head where that mattress is
'Gon read my lips ain't captions here
And still the same when that cash is near 'cause if I blow a bag I make it reappear
Shit I'm only slave to how great I'm is
Got the whips and chains from up off they backs and put em on my neck shit how bout that
Tryna take my fruits and then tax for that
Check my stocks and roots, see I came up black
Like the NFL ain't no Kap in that
Yeah I'm inside now but I'm still tune
Had to think about it
I got shit to lose
And shit to prove
Just not you
Workin on my craft like ain't shit to do
Hand in my face, I ain't got shit fa' you
But what yo ass could do , is stop the bull
If I said some shit it was factual
Thats off the rip and I'm snappin too
Just saw my ex but I was actin new
If you don't like my shit I'on rap fa' you
I wish I could go back, to those times
I wish that I could say, to the younger me , that it's alright
That everything gon change, and thats life
But it's all gon be ok, after all we all just start from the beginning
