Back Then
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 starin' at the gates
Tryin' hold the tears back from rollin' 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 sayin'
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 talkin' 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 sniffin' on your draws
Dog, you got kicked out of your lane
You can't handle your emotions you got killers for the pain
Doin' 10 in the mornin' 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 lookin' at me cryin', so I turn into a lane
Thankin' 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 tell them boys
