Back Then

(الألبوم: The Throne - 2018)

Hold up, hold up, y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tell them boys

Think you're big and tough 'til that prison bus picks you up
Takes you down state, got you staring at the gates
Trying hold the tears back from rolling down your face
How'd I get here, why'd I wind up in this place?
If only I could take back decisions that I made
Got me hand cuffed, shackles on my legs
Time to man up, do the crime put your hands up
Pat 'em down
Surrounded by killers, ain't no heaven to be found
I'd take it all back, if I could go back
To the days when I blacked out and acted out of rage
That's a page of my life gone, chapter erased
Shit happens everyday, it doesn't have to I'm saying
Wish I would have thought twice, 'fore the bar fights
Couple scars might not of happened, gotta be a better path
Can't change the past but I'ma change the future
Of our youth, listen to me when I talking to ya when I tell ya

Hold up, hold up, y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tel them boys to hold up

You don't wanna get involved, you gon' get in over your head
[?], naw
Ain't no time to press pause
Now they got the K9's out there sniffing on your draws
Dog, you got kicked out of your lane
You can't handle your emotions you got killers for the pain
Doing 10 in the morning just so you can start your day
Hey, I ain't mad at you home, I struggle with the same thing
I did drug after drug on the train
Mama looking at me crying, so I turn into a lane
Thanking God for redemption, I ain't to late to make a change
All that shit I did make the man I am today
Say take a look around, we still above the ground
I don't claim to be perfect, but bitch I'm still gon' hold it down
Round after round, trial after trial ain't no way I'll ever win
If I'm still in denial that's why I told them boys to

Hold up, hold up, y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
I could tel them boys
