Larry Furlow - Somersaults lyrics

[Hook] Back when I was younger, I was lost Spent a lot of time playing SmackDown! vs. Raw Jumping off the roof, doing somersaults and all Never exhausted Just waiting for my call (x2) [Verse 1] Shoot a film or two with toys in stop motion Years before I met depression or f**ed with OxyContin Before I down the potion and started rolling loud Lowered expectations now I used to make my mother so proud Got good grades and played with neighborhood kids Roll around on my skateboard, perfecting heel flips Or drew sh** in sketchbooks, tryna be an animator Trust me, ma, I got the perfect college major Eyes set on CalArts, but that sh** turned to vapor All of my ideal careers only look good on paper But you should've seen my Heffer, as good as my Mr. Horse I preferred mine to the source I was the best 'till I got bored I hope that ain't foreshadowing my future I hope these broads'll ignore my looks and love my humor Knocking doors down like John Luther Hope my voice gets heard sooner [Hook] Back when I was younger, I was lost Spent a lot of time playing SmackDown! vs. Raw Jumping off the roof, doing somersaults and all Never exhausted Just waiting for my call (x2) [Verse 2] If my mom were to see me in the state that surrounds The sounds of her scoffs and screams would echo The town that I roam loses color and momentum It's gotta be mind, just colliding like pendulum I'm destroying what surrounds me Keep my feet grounded Gets me down when she cries And I'm the reason behind it The spliff at my lip and an ounce in the grinder It's not my fault, I was introduced at eleven I'm receiving for the first time, 'cause of all that I've given I learned my lesson Never carry weapons f** with the wrong life and your time'll lessen Need the tunnel vision Every breath is a present And every song is progression Listen to the haters, what they speak is reflection Say "f** his innovation" but they learn to respect it Reading "dog" backwards, man, these haters be dyslexic Running laps around 'em, I've never been this athletic [Hook] Back when I was younger, I was lost Spent a lot of time playing SmackDown! vs. Raw Jumping off the roof, doing somersaults and all Never exhausted Just waiting for my call (x2) [Outro] Back when I was younger, I was lost Spent a lot of time playing SmackDown! vs. Raw Jumping off the roof, doing somersaults and all Never exhausted Just waiting for my call Spend a little money on installments Didn't know what it all meant Just knew it was dollar spent My parents were always pissed Wondering what the f** I did How could this all be fixed? (x2)
