Int80 (of Dualcore) - Back To Me lyrics

[Verse 1: Int 80] Another play at the game where I'm k**ing these scores On this mic for a while, but I'm feeling reborn A few years in rap - in fact, add a few more My memories of life before the start of Dual Core Brain always carrying a rhyme Try to get my sk**s up, battled all the time At the Reebok tournament, winning first prize Back when the wiz was 100.9 Growing towards closure, exposure to the sound Scribble Jam every year, scoping from the crowd Snapping at these tracks when I open up my mouth Developing my freestyle, know what it's about Trolling other rappers, I was such a misfit Science in my writing feeling so an*lytic Verses in the circles, people didn't git it I thought it was a cipher, guess I'm too cryptic [Hook] First cla**, hoping that I pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it true cause you know it's overdue Still looking back at the path going through This is, first cla**, knowing that I'll pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue Knew it through and through [Verse 2] Engage life, turned another page (right) Wednesday nights when i'd battle for the stage Fright, put anxiety away Went from being introverted to inspired when I play My first show at top cats, staring at the crowd The music we developed, now they're sharing in the sound Getting big in the city, growing out of bounds Evansville, Columbus, I'm going out of town Didn't know to get around, find a better way Getting tips from other artists so I'm learning every day Blueprint and Dibbs really helped me find a balance Impressed by the best, midwest full of talent In fact, still deposit in the track If I thought it's up for grabs then I wouldn't give it back Got a hold on the feeling, take control of the healing Filling holes in my soul while I grow through the ceiling [Hook] First cla**, hoping that I pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it true cause you know it's overdue Still looking back at the path going through This is, first cla**, knowing that I'll pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue Knew it through and through [Verse 3] Back to me now, so the flow make it abstract Memories shine in the glow of a flashback Went from making something that I thought would get us laughed at To outshining every other Cincinnati rap act Still proving, not afraid of losing Stored in my core feel the war still brooding Underneath the hood, though, my brain's probably fuming Only show it on the stage so I'm so una**uming Plus human, and if I'm being fair When we're counting up mistakes Then I know I've made my share Cause life's no guide, and it's no smooth ride Swallow jealousy, envy, arrogance and pride Put the pride in my work, the other ones aside Cause life's too short and I'm running out of time Proud of having fun while I rock it for the crowd The music made it back, back to me now [Hook] First cla**, hoping that I pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it true cause you know it's overdue Still looking back at the path going through This is, first cla**, knowing that I'll pa** Priority delivery, settling the stats Returning it to true cause I know it's overdue Knew it through and through [Outro] We take it forward then back, forward then back The internet claps while they torrent this track Forward then back, forward then back Beyond all my dreams doing more in this rap Take it forward then back, forward then back The internet claps while they torrent this track Forward, back, forward, back, forward, back Sure to make us blast, first cla**
