Mouthmatics - From Then To Now lyrics

[Hook: Mouthmatics] I look down and I see that we all have (grown up from children now) I had a backbone but that's gone I have to (only pretend to now) My conscience keeps telling me that I'm (gonna reinvent you now) It's amazing, the changes lately that take place (from then to now) [Verse 1: Mouthmatics] AHEM. Hello, my name is John nice to meet you (Hello John, what's the prob? We know that we can treat you) I never thought I'd end up talking at one of these meetings But I've really been feeling like there's something in me bleeding My freedom is receding and the bars are closing in And the jig is almost up like cop cars are closing in (Oh here we go again, another criminal confession) (Shh. Keep it down, I'm trying to listen to his message) Yes! It's a message and I'm trying to teach you something I've been running from this pain but obstructions got me bumping Into bad memories, old enemies and whatnot I could never get away like I was tied to a cement block Regardless I'll pull until I make it to my destination Not even a sec of rest or hesitation Because my brother needs some care for too My only hope is there is someone that can care for you [Hook: Mouthmatics] I look down and I see that we all have (grown up from children now) I had a backbone but that's gone I have to (only pretend to now) My conscience keeps telling me that I'm (gonna reinvent you now) It's amazing, the changes lately that take place (from then to now) [Verse 2: Mouthmatics] We've grown up so much in the last year Recovering from such a disaster I used to rely on my pastor right? But the man pa**ed away just two weeks tonight. That's right! But I can't lose faith, I gotta move on Bills are building, gotta get my groove on Adult now. When the hell did that happen? I used to be a kid when started this rapping I used to have a dad in the house that I live in My momma used to be too but couldn't forgive him A place without parents is a teenage dream But when the years go by things became unseen Start to realize that I wanted the company From the family because they showed so much love for me Hopefully my actions will match my words Find the good from the bad like gold from dirt And I know it seems like it'll never work And I know you're in the back but you deserve to be first It's time to move on, I can show you how It's time to move on from then to now [Hook: Mouthmatics] I look down and I see that we all have (grown up from children now) I had a backbone but that's gone I have to (only pretend to now) My conscience keeps telling me that I'm (gonna reinvent you now) It's amazing, the changes lately that take place (from then to now) [Bridge: Mouthmatics] Grown up from children now Only pretend to now Gonna reinvent you now (Alright everybody in the house, stand up, sing it) From then to now (Let's go, everybody in the house) [Hook: Mouthmatics] I look down and I see that we all have (grown up from children now) I had a backbone but that's gone I have to (only pretend to now) My conscience keeps telling me that I'm (gonna reinvent you now) It's amazing, the changes lately that take place (from then to now)
