Josh Schroeder - I Ain't Goin Back Again lyrics

I ain't goin back again to that state of mind where i was ignorant and it was war time And i thought i could save all of us if i wrote one line yaknow the right line And gettin by wasn't gettin by we had to steal and lie and some of us died We were on borrowed time and the clock was tickin and theyre lookin at me and the move was mine f** it just tellem the truth Tellem no man can take nothin from you Tellem your skin is too thick and youll die about this They dont possess the spirit you do Tellem your city is countin on you If you go home with nothin theyll probably k** you And this ain't life or d**h for them Close your eyes and count to ten Honestly this is as honest as ive been So ill try speaking to the public like were friends Truthfully i wish the very best for men But you think freedom is money well money has an end I ain't goin back again I ain't goin back again to that dope house where we slept together cuz it was cold out We had one jacket amongst all of us so we would take turns when we would go out And the open oven heated the whole house and the mattress on the kitchen floor With an AK 47 and 3 hand guns but we swore we needed more Cuz we were at war Where wed haul water by the bucket back to our home And wed heat the water and wed talk for hours cuz we didn't have no phones And wed dream together about a better life and houses and cars and clothes And wed laugh and joke as we all showered from the same pan on the stove f** it just tellem the truth Tellem no man can take nothin from you Tellem your skin is too thick and youll die about this They dont possess the spirit you do After all the sh** weve been through Id k** myself before i turn on you And this ain't life or d**h for them Close your eyes and count to ten I ain't goin back again to the time we thought that a record deal could save us Where we were unapproachable and desperate and we were dangerous Where our city would love us and think highly of us not hate us Cuz it didn't change a thing I'm still David I'm still KING
