Run The Jewels - ​never look back lyrics

[Verse 1: El-P & Killer Mike] Eighty-one miles to the hour down road (Uh, uh, uh) Never looked back, never ever went slow Never look back, heard 'em say that before Never look back, never stare at a ghost BK air in the summertime choke (Ayy, ayy, ayy) Ain't sh*t fly but the drones, oh no (Ayy, ayy, ayy) Low on the smokes, grab another pack, go Pops smoked too when playing piano Pops, I'm you, it's funny how that go Mom, you too, I never could drink slow Never look back, heard her say that before Sound like the type of advice I'd ignore Funny how time feel off tick tock You thinking death's beat, it drop a clock shot Never smoke sad, I heard that's a thought Got forty-four bucks on the smoke, whatchu got? [Verse 2: Killer Mike] Got my mind on a mission on the road to perdition The crime and the grind, I'll admit it, I'm wit' it Must've su*kle up crime from my mama right titty 'Cause if dollar made cents, no question she was with it She was queenpen-ing, independent when I was a kiddy Uncle Luke, "Don't stop, get it, get it," Magic City Mommy told me never give a ni**a my plug Then she told me never give these b*tches my love Still 'til this day, bruh, I'm missing my girl Still 'til this day, I'm perfectin' my thug Daddy told me never give a honey my money Had to ask Daddy, "Did that include Mommy?" Made dollar, made cents, made money, money, money Got a wife built like a Playboy bunny fu*ked up, but I kept her 'cause I keep it one hunnid Made a mil, that's for real, ain't a damn thing funny [Chorus: Run The Jewels] Ne-never look back Never look back Never look back Never look back [Interlude: Mr. Muthafu*kin eXquire] So here's the play You can't go forward, and you can't go backward The past, the present, the future, all irrelevant The only thing that matters is gratitude Gratitude is everything, time is nothing [Verse 3: El-P & Killer Mike] '81 when I moved to the county where the kings is Walk past St. James place where the king lived Think quick, never saw class, a delinquent Now I get cash for the beats and the sync chips Smart-ass kid with a mean lip Mom said, "J, gonna speak? Better mean it" (Deepness) Now I'm on fleek as a preset I don't wear a leash in the least but I'm beasting [Verse 4: Killer Mike] Never look back, you will only get bitter If you get bitter, you will never get better Never get better, then you never get bigger Never get bigger, then you never make cheddar Tell the truth, fella, you were never really special You were just a lame ni**a with a hit record Your time came and it changed like the weather Run The Jewels, muthafu*ka, we still forever [Chorus: Run The Jewels] Ne-never look back Never look back Never look back Never look back (N-n-n-never, n-n) Never look back (N-never, n-never, n-never, never) Never look back (Never, n-never, n-n) Never look back (Never, nev-nev, n-never) Never look back
