[Verse 1]

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 [bad word] at the mall was a 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 forcefield, 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

[Verse 2]

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
