| Yeah, it’s Rapper, it’s 9th Wonder, hah
|
| I’m seeing life in my rear view mirror
|
| And I recognise that people do change
|
| While viewing life in my rear view mirror
|
| I recognise we all gotta go through thangs
|
| This is life in my rear view
|
| If you just turn around, you can see it too
|
| This is life in my rear view
|
| If I just turn around, I can see it through
|
| As time go by, I ain’t gon' lie
|
| I think I seen enough to make a grown man cry
|
| My grandmamma’s gone, then my uncle’s on
|
| Gotta stay strong for the fam
|
| I gotta keep strong for myself
|
| Seen my little bit of wealth, money can’t cure
|
| All of the pain that the heart endures
|
| The memory’s here, here comes a new year
|
| Here comes a new spirit, tell me can you hear it?
|
| Got a little louder, we all begin to fear it
|
| So we push back, then we push out
|
| 'Til we still alone and the world forgot about
|
| The things that you did, goals you accomplished
|
| That dream that you had, now a broken promise
|
| I vowed to be honest, bare my soul
|
| Hear people taking shots and they wonder why I’m cold
|
| My story unfolds like any other
|
| Gotta pay homage to them older brothers
|
| Who came here before me, laid the foundation
|
| Started as a fad, now a great situation
|
| I ain’t had a job since '03
|
| But the music business is more than you see
|
| We made a bit of magic when we did it as three
|
| Then we grew up, then we grew apart
|
| That’s when I realised it was bigger than art
|
| But grown men gon' do what grown men do
|
| I can’t put the blame all on another dude
|
| No communication, that mean we didn’t speak
|
| That’s why on +Getback+, it was two, not three
|
| Wish nothing but the best to my homeboy P
|
| I also went through it with my homeboy G
|
| But this go around took a little bit of time
|
| I already put our whole story in a rhyme
|
| The lord says forgive, well mama I’m tryin
|
| Ronnie I’m flyin, all grown up
|
| Came home just in time, seen your boy blown up
|
| I know it’s that time, gotta stand on my two
|
| Tighten my belt, lean on Rapper Pooh
|
| Was it really love that we shared as a crew?
|
| Cause love ain’t something you say, you do
|
| It was all fun when we were all young
|
| And we were all dumb, just making jams
|
| Of course shit change when you start to see grands
|
| Everybody reaching out to you with their hands
|
| Not having structure, two separate plans
|
| Niggas wanna vote for themselves as the man
|
| Now we got factions, no longer whole
|
| Shit can’t work if you all want control
|
| Niggas never sold our souls to the Devil
|
| At the same time we gripped our own shovels
|
| Heavy on the bass, went light on the treble
|
| Big bad company, we just little pebbles
|
| Learnt a whole lot, don’t regret the move
|
| Came back to it indie, had nothing to prove
|
| Go hard every time, got nothing to lose
|
| At the end of the day, it’s your right to choose
|
| I’m seeing life in my rear view mirror
|
| And I recognise that people do change
|
| While viewing life in my rear view mirror
|
| I recognise we all gotta go through thangs
|
| This is life in my rear view
|
| If you just turn around, you can see it too
|
| This is life in my rear view
|
| If I just turn around, I can see it through |
