Take A Look Back |
| Take a look back, Yeah! |
| Take a look, just slip back |
| Too late, you never know |
| Yeah! |
| Never go back but I think back |
| Hear a song on the radio from the past and get a flashback |
| Cinematic when it plays back |
| Write a story of my life and be the soundtrack |
| 11 — 46 Central on a school night I used to sneak out the window |
| I was little, my brother Neil was in the middle |
| On the bottom bunk, roof where I wrote my riddles |
| Get a chill every time I get a visual |
| Used to think I was invincible |
| Everyday shoplifting competition at the mall was the ritual |
| Never won, I never made a good criminal |
| Got a problem at the school with the principal |
| And back then all the music was original |
| I was young and dumb, the future was invisible |
| Take a look back, take a look back |
| Never go back, when I reminisce about those passed |
| Thinking it’s a trip how fast we live |
| Flashing back to the sandbox with my clothes dirty |
| And my jeans was ripped |
| Swinging on the monkey bars trying to keep my grip |
| Jump on the trampoline till my knees give in |
| Always physical, I was a little crazy kid |
| Then I got into the music and I found my niche |
| Found a gift, could’ve found a ditch |
| Even when bullets came in my direction, somehow they missed |
| Tried to grab me and stab me, somehow they slipped |
| Like a force-field, stayed the course at the Lord’s will |
| Even when it’s over, I’mma go to war still |
| Even when I’m gone I’ll be making noise still |
| I could never live forever but the voice will |
| Always knew I’d be somebody that the world feeled |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| I admit sometimes I speed for no reason |
| Sometimes I roll up the weed for no reason |
| Take a breath of fresh air for no reason |
| Cause you never know when you’re gonna be leaving |
| So I get it with the old clique |
| And reminisce while we’re thumbing through a box full of old flicks |
| Laughing at the funny clothes and the outfits |
| Take a look back, take a look back |
| Yeah they say time keep on slipping |
| But I’m sunk in the coupe, I just keep on dipping |
| Switching up the gears, I keep on shifting |
| Daydreams, my mind it keeps on drifting |
| Like J Dilla I’mma keep living |
| Never feel like a beat’s finished, I’m a perfectionist |
| Never really happy with it so I’ll mess with it |
| It’s a God-given talent, I was blessed with it |
| Thinking back from the past occurrences |
| It’s endless, I can only scratch the surface |
| But it’s a new day so I let the sun shine |
| Through the window when I crack the curtains |
| Only death is certain, only tax is certain |
| Take a break for a minute then it’s back to work |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
| Take a look back at your life now |
