Colton Brown - Neva Wanna Go Back
[Intro]
Uh, yea
They say life's all about the ups and downs you know?
Supposed to enjoy it while you up, learn from it while you down
I done had enough lessons for one lifetime, I ain't neva goin back...
[Hook]
I neva wanna go back, not to that
Not that life I used to lead
See I can't believe, I ever fell so low
That just can't be me
I don't wanna go back, not to that
I refuse to take that road
Cause it'll take you low
And when you hit rock bottom
You ain't got no place to go
So I don't wanna go back...
[Verse 1]
Man I remember back when
I was like, 16, downin' bottles of gin
Me and my friends
Ditchin', skippin at the levee
Rollin up dirt weed, foggin up the chevy
Ready for whatever, thought we was clever
Always said man we will never change, ever
I let my straight A's slip to straight F's
And instead of going right I chose to stay left
Gave it all up, scholarship and all
When I coulda been in college somewhere playin ball
But naw, I had to be the hardheaded type
Do it my way, even if I never got it right
And overnight, mama put me out on my a**
Without a penny in my pocket or a dollar for gas
She said you wanna be man? Welcome to the world
Now survive whichever way you can...
[Hook]
I neva wanna go back, not to that
Not that life I used to lead
See I can't believe, I ever fell so low
That just can't be me
I don't wanna go back, not to that
I refuse to take that road
Cause it'll take you low
And when you hit rock bottom
You ain't got no place to go
So I don't wanna go back...
[Verse 2]
Lord knows, I really don't want to
Once upon a time wasn't nothin' that I won't do
For some fast money, for some gas money
For some a** from a bad honey
I used to run through them chicks like a contact sport
Til I ended up in court payin child support
My money ran short, as a last resort, I started movin all that import
But man it's a slippery slope, so easy to slide
And man life leave scars that ain't easy to hide
I never knew pain til the middle of the night
When I seen the desperation in my best friends eyes
He was, comin' down off a 3 day binge
And he was tryna score again
And man, this man was my brother, yea he was my ace
But I sold it to him anyways...
[Hook]
I neva wanna go back, not to that
Not that life I used to lead
See I can't believe, I ever fell so low
That just can't be me
I don't wanna go back, not to that
I refuse to take that road
Cause it'll take you low
And when you hit rock bottom
You ain't got no place to go
So I don't wanna go back...
[Verse 3]
As a matter of fact, man I refuse to
I got too much to lose dude
It took a lotta years and a lotta tears
For me to realize I had to seperate from a lotta peers
So I set fire to my baggage, rebuilt my life from my ashes
And now here I stand a better man, livin life with a better plan...
[Hook]
I neva wanna go back, not to that
Not that life I used to lead
See I can't believe, I ever fell so low
That just can't be me
I don't wanna go back, not to that
I refuse to take that road
Cause it'll take you low
And when you hit rock bottom
You ain't got no place to go
So I don't wanna go back...
[Hook]
I neva wanna go back, not to that
Not that life I used to lead
See I can't believe, I ever fell so low
That just can't be me
I don't wanna go back, not to that
I refuse to take that road
Cause it'll take you low
And when you hit rock bottom
You ain't got no place to go
So I don't wanna go back...
