I wanna go back |
|
I wanna go back |
|
Uh cause I remember way back when |
|
Got kicked out the crib and had a place to stay |
|
In the Clem with some friends George and Jay |
|
It was a funky fresh crew and I'd DJ |
|
What a shock it was to be on the set |
|
Comin from a nice home now livin in the projects |
|
No regrets cause I learned alot |
|
And I earned alot in the parking lot |
|
Doin dirt for the O.G's slangin rock |
|
They used to call me that little white kid |
|
Who could rock on the two turntables |
|
And that ain't no fable |
|
Watchin Eddie Murphy instead of Clark Gable |
|
My whole life style switched Hoss |
|
Puttin in hours at the 76 car wash |
|
But I could never wait for them weekends to come |
|
Dum ditty dum ditty ditty dum dum |
|
Boom, boom, the bass went |
|
On turntables fuckin it up in Duke's basement |
|
Groove time productions, we kept the jam jumpin |
|
Open up your ears Im tryin to tell you somethin |
|
And give some love back to those that loved me |
|
206 Court street and my second mom Tracy |
|
Little Keesha and Cole |
|
My mellow blow, and my homegirl Flo |
|
Rock round see, you could find me some |
|
But I kept my tables in the crib when I wasnt in the club |
|
Tom Whit and Mike Shafer used to give me rides |
|
And buy me groceries when I didn't have no paper |
|
And I'm grateful for this |
|
Sometimes I look back and it's these times I miss |
|
Making demos on my old four track |
|
Sometimes I cant help but think, I Wanna Go Back |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
I Wanna Go Back |
|
I Wanna Go Back...go way back way back y'all |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
I got kicked out again for bein fly |
|
Got invited to stay with Tony and Eli |
|
And they treated me like brothers |
|
R-I-P to their cool ass mother |
|
An my brother din dada |
|
For the homies ain't here I still gotta lot of love |
|
I wanna go back, way back |
|
And change things and bring y'all back |
|
I'm pourin beer out for y'all |
|
I'm singin I saw the light from my cousin Paul |
|
Life brings alot of tragedy |
|
I look around at times and its so sad to see |
|
A wasted life, or a broken home |
|
But all I can do is take care of my own |
|
I feel so alone like a stranger |
|
And sometimes I express my love through my anger |
|
And I lost alot of friends for this |
|
Blackman, T-Bone, Ernest KDC, and Chris |
|
And the rest of the Beast crew |
|
I aint sayin that I'm wrong, but I still got love for you |
|
Cause I remember how it used to be |
|
Make way motherfuckers beast crew's in the party |
|
To the right, to the left |
|
Many black men and Funk Daddy Def Stef |
|
And sometimes I feel blessed for sure |
|
To a been a part of one of raps last great tours |
|
Ice Cube, Too Short, D-Nice, yo yo |
|
Kid Rock and it dont stop |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
I Wanna Go Back |
|
I Wanna Go Back...go way back way back y'all |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
I remember litte Robert, cause I stayed with him |
|
I used ta go and see Campbell, when I need a trim |
|
And when times got grim and seen that I lost my way |
|
I used to get blown of with Reve |
|
Bumpin' shoulders and slappin' hands |
|
Willie Knight had a disco, right in his basement man |
|
Them New Haven jams |
|
Me and Blackman running crazy scams |
|
Not a black or white thing, a wrong or right thing |
|
Just makin' that money, and pullin them honies |
|
Spandex shorts and the halter tops |
|
Slanging them rocks and runnin from the cops |
|
The only white kid walkin round on the block |
|
Cruisin in Amp's low ridin ragtop |
|
Go see Howard for what ya need |
|
Underage buyin forties and bags of weed |
|
Late night liquor from Bubba Coles |
|
People used to say, Rock you got soul |
|
Vince looked out and so did Lou |
|
Had a studio budget from the cocaine loot |
|
Chuck D and Murph were the original three |
|
And now Richard D and Kracker are down with me |
|
I got a studio record and a taste of fame |
|
But when I roll throught the Clem it's all the same |
|
Even though things change, you know I ain't forgot |
|
Cause the love from the past gave birth to Kid Rock |
|
But it's hard to go back to the things I knew |
|
Cause tha me life a have now lives for two |
|
Yeah, and that's where I'm at |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
And that's where I'm at |
|
I Wanna Go Back...go way back way back y'all |
|
I Wanna Go Back...back in the time |
|
Bring it down |
|
Wayyyyy |
|
Heyyyyyy |
|
Let it ride, let it ride |
|
Heyyyy...Heyyyy |
|
Way back, way back y'all |
