9th Wonder - Rearview Mirror lyrics

[Rapper Big Pooh] Yeah, it's Rapper, it's 9th Wonder, hah I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror And I recognise that people do change While viewing life in my rear view mirror I recognise we all gotta go through thangs This is life in my rear view If you just turn around, you can see it too This is life in my rear view If I just turn around, I can see it through As time go by, I ain't gon' lie I think I seen enough to make a grown man cry My grandmamma's gone, then my uncle's on Gotta stay strong for the fam I gotta keep strong for myself Seen my little bit of wealth, money can't cure All of the pain that the heart endures The memory's here, here comes a new year Here comes a new spirit, tell me can you hear it? Got a little louder, we all begin to fear it So we push back, then we push out 'Til we still alone and the world forgot about The things that you did, goals you accomplished That dream that you had, now a broken promise I vowed to be honest, bare my soul Hear people taking shots and they wonder why I'm cold My story unfolds like any other Gotta pay homage to them older brothers Who came here before me, laid the foundation Started as a fad, now a great situation I ain't had a job since '03 But the music business is more than you see We made a bit of magic when we did it as three Then we grew up, then we grew apart That's when I realised it was bigger than art But grown men gon' do what grown men do I can't put the blame all on another dude No communication, that mean we didn't speak That's why on +Getback+, it was two, not three Wish nothing but the best to my homeboy P I also went through it with my homeboy G But this go around took a little bit of time I already put our whole story in a rhyme The lord says forgive, well mama I'm tryin Ronnie I'm flyin, all grown up Came home just in time, seen your boy blown up I know it's that time, gotta stand on my two Tighten my belt, lean on Rapper Pooh Was it really love that we shared as a crew? Cause love ain't something you say, you do It was all fun when we were all young And we were all dumb, just making jams Of course sh** change when you start to see grands Everybody reaching out to you with their hands Not having structure, two separate plans n***as wanna vote for themselves as the man Now we got factions, no longer whole sh** can't work if you all want control n***as never sold our souls to the Devil At the same time we gripped our own shovels Heavy on the ba**, went light on the treble Big bad company, we just little pebbles Learnt a whole lot, don't regret the move Came back to it indie, had nothing to prove Go hard every time, got nothing to lose At the end of the day, it's your right to choose I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror And I recognise that people do change While viewing life in my rear view mirror I recognise we all gotta go through thangs This is life in my rear view If you just turn around, you can see it too This is life in my rear view If I just turn around, I can see it through
