Yeah(2x) Sometimes you gotta go back Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah They had asked me King where you been? Hook: I had to leave now I'm back again Take me back to where I first began I need the key you got the plan Now I'm taking off headed for a distant land (Leggo leggo leggo) Verse: I want revenge in the worst way Without pain wouldn't be here in the first place If struggling brings steadfastness change the way that you see pain A lot of times we miss the bigger picture all we see is gutters in these frames, if I gave a dime would that bring change? Low brought me low, down this road I don't know They put me in the dirt didn't know they sowed don't be surprised when I grow Progress is like a protest boy you know change comes slow But when they see what he got for me they gon know Growing as a boy I was treated like a toy when you was in the mood you'd play with me, when you done return me to the store That hurt me to the core you had your time but I promise no more God gave me a voice, it's one you can't ignore Hook Verse 2: I ain't tryna live in the past But to move forward I gotta go back Thought I had it mapped out I was like atlas (at last)
He put his hands on my glove world started spinning real fast With no direction, now I'm feeling lost and hectic before the plan touched down it was intercepted now my whole world in the air feeling like the jetsons That rough pain and aches, sometimes that's what it takes It's hard to eat when you got the wrong plate You know the Lord likes to do it backwards he gives you tips while he makes you wait Don't despise them small beginnings or them big mistakes cause they make you great get started now it's never too late People gonna try and stop your shine they can throw shade your lights inside I don't care where you been I don't care who you know keep on going you gon get it this time You got pain you got scars uncover em let em breathe You're the living proof somebody needs to see You could be the one to set em free Hook Outro: Excuse me but I ain't from round here I mean yeah I am it's been awhile since I been round here Let it in the rear view yeah but now I'm looking back yeah Once I'm gone I ain't coming back I ain't coming back I promise yeah (I had to leave I had to leave, I had to go, I had to go)
