Lyrics WaY BaCK - Cantrell

WaY BaCK

I come down and I swerve, yeah
I come down, feel like Earl Price
Rising up like my serve, nice
I go down, change my girl life
Can’t no fame make my wrongs rights
Humble pie by the slice
No APC, boy, this faded glory, this the Ford Taurus
This the Acura sittin' on eighteens, I’ma say they twenties
Where they dare a nigga come and take it from 'em
If you feeling froggy
I was leap-years ahead of anything that could’ve took me under
Where we went, I’m convinced, you ain’t been late on rent from paying dues
Prime time, on my shit, let me vent, wake 'em up, never snooze
Out of sight, out of mind, homicides, pray you never make the news
Pray we making better moves, tell 'em somethin' they never knew
Take 'em way back, way back
Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back
Lil' Steve with the wave cap or the braids back
Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back
(Ah naw, man, look)
Way back before the deal, way back before the shine
Way back before the glow, way back before the climb
Way back before the moves, way back before the ride
Way back (Way back), way back (Way back), way back
Obstacles are optical illusions, they ain’t really there
But jump high anyway, jump high just in case
I’m Deion making plays, fuck the code, we crack the safe
If it ain’t there, make a way
Southern bred, no roll Tide, making waves
My dues I paid, I bring the flames
I run the maze and come out clean
You don’t know the half I’ve seen
They hopped the pot and came out cream
Mama worked the wrist to serve the fiends
Family business, I flipped the kitchen to a
Place to give my deepest feelings to 'em
If you ain’t with it, you gettin' evicted, nigga
Brick by brick, I built this building, nigga
They can’t act like they don’t hear me now
I break the mold they probably fear me, huh?
Break the bread, we toast to winning
Don’t you sip the blood if you ain’t really with it, boy
Ain’t nothin' changed, still got a hundred dreams to my name
Still got battle wounds from my pain
Still tryin' to find my way through this thing
Takin' y’all way back, way back
Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back
Lil' Steve with the wave cap or the braids back
Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back
(Ah naw, man, look)
Way back before the deal, way back before the shine
Way back before the glow, way back before the climb
Way back before the moves, way back before the ride
Way back (Way back), way back (Way back), way back
What up, boy?
It’s your Uncle Mike
Your mama told me about your little situation
I’m sorry things couldn’t work out between you and whatchamacallit, but hey
It’s plenty more out there, man, you’ll find the one for you
Until then, keep your head up, have some fun
And don’t be silly, man, wrap your willy
Alright, call me back
