Isaiah Entsua-Mensah - No Turning Back lyrics
[Intro] Go... go... go... gone! [Verse 1] In my rearview, fast living & fast women That I went thru like underwear & dirty linens I adhered to the ways of a playa, wanna pimping Breaking curfews and hearts, spilt'em like partitions I know… so cold… Taught to never love'em, yet we act like hoes See I chose... to grow... But if I stayed the same would more records be sold (hmmm) They love it when you don't love'em & abuse'em Like when you f**'em and dump'em its just amusement Sick to me you get more publicity when you're coonin' Yet question your authenticity when your judgement is prudent That's that bullsh**... I'm past that Just watch'em how they bend and run quicker than half backs Y'all would make your a** clap for a check from ASCAP ‘Til your a** capped, never me dog can have that! There is... [Hook] No turning back today Never backwards, forward we go 3x Go... go... go... gone! [Verse 2] Onward, Upwards Why look back, my bags packed Thought I was nuts but when I try to dip... they on the sack I hush the fuss, watch my six, know the time My hats off to haters while staying on they mind My crime is trying to grow while stay true While they rather love those selling them short. Disgraceful They telling tall tales, them stories ain't you Keep building like I own it, plenty walls to break through And I can't stop they can't hold me But people talk like they know me But they so weak they don't know themselves Trying to confine me to their hell But um… I ain't dumbing down to make you feel comfortable And I ain't slowing down so you can catch up my dude You live for the lie you don't really want the truth I don't change for fear my dear, nor a buck two… or a G or 3 [Hook] No turning back today Never backwards, forward we go 3x Go... go... go... gone! [Verse 3] My friend… is sadly long gone I wish… we could make some songs Or hit... the town and break bread For kicks… I'm here missing you instead Watching these clowns bite your style and use your image Meanwhile they barely gave you your props when you were living I doubt your family's getting a check it got me livid Mispronounce your name then act like they knew what you intended This isn't for the authentic it's meant for the hypocritical Who diss the dude who spit for you in since the very beginning Though our bond fractured, was still sought after They want more cla**ics, I want more laughter And I could hit them with unreleased material Since your so-called fans think my solo work is trivial Unless it's me & you but where's the honor in that When most of it was subpar or we thought it was wack Probably be overjoyed if I bought a few tracks You didn't finished then distribute them all over the map That's what they're hoping but I'll never f** you over like that I'll forever honor your memory but there's no turning back [Hook] No turning back today Never backwards, forward we go 3x Go... go... go... gone!
