| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
| If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| (I'ma do the same thing, I’ma do the same thing)
|
| Man, fuck college! |
| We finna do this rap shit
|
| My mind’s like 5 mics, rhyme tight, fuck it
|
| Limelight, shine bright, life short, love it
|
| Let’s fill it with experiences
|
| Balls in my hand like the grand prize game, aiming for pocket sixes
|
| Throw back so that, you know when I say
|
| Back in the day, you know exactly where I go at
|
| Expanding my vocabulary
|
| Rapping every word off the magazine covers down at Walgreens
|
| That’s a .357 Magnum like Tackleberry
|
| Academics took a backseat like Hightower
|
| I flowered my power, yeah yeah yeah yeah
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
| If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)

|
| Yo, we got a contract on the table from Atlantic Records
|
| What do you think?
|
| Well every rose has its thorn, and if I could be reborn
|
| I mean to be the king, even Jesus puts 'em on
|
| So, Atlantic ocean motion might make you sell funny
|
| Betcha didn’t know the advance went straight to bail money
|
| That’s right, to free Chilly Chill
|
| And to do it all again, I would sign another deal
|
| Still kinda paranoid from when they leaked my tape
|
| Jeopardize being friendly just to keep mine safe
|
| When keeping it real goes right, I couldn’t keep my faith
|
| By third album I was done, you shoulda seen my face
|
| Fuck Craig, fuck rap, fuck this, fuck that
|
| Fuck your 360 deal, nigga, that shit’s wack
|
| I was Truth.com with no backup plan
|
| Got blackballed, couldn’t find a job, tryna backup dance
|
| That shit was crazy, thanks to my back-up fans
|
| I guess what lawyers can’t do, (we are Anonymous) the hackers can
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
| If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
|

|

|
| You wouldn’t change nothin'? |
| Like nothin'!?
|
| Well, that’s not totally true
|
| Young Lupe, I wish I could be totally you
|
| But that’s the way it works, came to bring the pain, that’s the way it hurts
|
| Picking in the scabs from the past just gon' make it worse
|
| Can’t be 21 every time I sit and make a verse
|
| When I did that song with NumbaNine, I was tryna break the curse
|
| The good don’t make it out of the hood unless the hood make it out you first
|
| All you needs just to believe that you can leave
|
| Crown B and Es made me believe that I could lead
|
| Righteous deeds, planting seeds for good society
|
| So you see that I can’t be totally new
|
| Cause there’s a future Lupe out there that wanna be both of me too
|
| And nobody really knows what the future holds
|
| All the future sins for our future souls
|
| And what I am doing now I couldn’t do before
|
| What would you do, man, if you could go?
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
| If I coulda, brought it back (yeah, yea yea yea yeah)
|
| If I coulda, brought it back
|
| I wouldn’t change a fucking thing
|
