Press Rewind |
| I was just a kid from a small town west of Pennsylvania |
| '88 moved down to GA, overwhelmed by the change |
| I got treated like stranger 'cause I didn’t fit in |
| Had a mullet, getting made fun of by the other kids |
| My brother wasn’t in the same school to protect me |
| 6th grade, every day they would jump me in the gym |
| Finally got a couple friends |
| I was in and out of phases, into heavy metal for a stint |
| Then I started singing Boyz II Men |
| Playing Poison Clan |
| Really I just wanna be like them |
| So I went and brought a gun |
| In the school to be cool |
| Wasn’t real but it looked like one |
| It was chrome but this kid Trovon |
| Took it from me, making dudes take they shoes off |
| When he got caught better say it ain’t mine |
| He said he wouldn’t tell |
| I was in the office when they rung the bell |
| I had to go to panel and probably get expelled |
| I knew I had to answer to my father I was scared |
| He was known for raising hell |
| Hit me with an open hand or he whipped me with a belt but today was something |
| else |
| Quiet on the ride home when we got into the house |
| I got swung into the shelf |
| Getting swung on, I was 12 tryna |
| Hide my face |
| Ditching uppercuts from my dad’s punches making |
| My nose bleed |
| With my sister and her neighbor friend watching, momma |
| Cry, but she |
| Knew it was one of many ass whoopings coming |
| I received |
| Can’t hit the back button |
| There’s a pain way down |
| That’s been trapped inside |
| Let the pain drain out |
| Left the past behind |
| But sometimes my mind |
| Press rewind |
| '95 was the best year of my life that’s without a question |
| My brother was a senior and I was just a freshman |
| He would let me hang out with his friends and |
| Life felt normal for once |
| But the happiness I had only lasted a second |
| Mom and Dad separated same year, so my brother moved away when we finally had |
| our friendship |
| Made a lot of friends with kids in the same boat |
| No male role models for us to observe and be our guide |
| Dropped out of school, hit a learning curve, relied |
| On each other trying to persevere in life |
| Insecurities are high |
| Feeling unloved, searching for a girl that can provide |
| She wanna take it further, I’m worried that I’m gonna blow my cover 'cause I |
| said I’m not a virgin and I lied |
| I finally fertilized |
| Then she left me for another guy |
| But years flying by, life is like a circus ride |
| We done did the worst, too much dirt to purify |
| Mom was working nights |
| Helicopters circling outside |
| Lot of murders, lot of fights |
| Lot of nights heard the cries from my mom’s room |
| Household with no one in control |
| Everything crumbled, I was young but now I’m grown |
| Suddenly my brother and my father coming home |
| And it’s |
| So unreal |
| When we’re all together you can feel the tension and it’s |
| Unfair |
| Started fighting at my brother’s college graduation but it |
| Goes unsaid |
| When you love each other ain’t no conversation, hated |
| All those years |
| Wishing I could erase them |
| There’s a pain way down |
| That’s been trapped inside |
| Let the pain drain out |
| Left the past behind |
| But sometimes my mind… |
| Press rewind |
