Twisted Black - Back N' Time lyrics

[Verse] When I look back on the things mama told me Wish I would have listened cause it seems mama know this Followed her direction life could have been golden Hindsight weighin' so heavy can't hold it Daddy was a player only fair that I get it Only difference is that I flow so I spit it Life wide open from the time I was sh**tin' Mama droppin' j**els on me just hopin' I get it But daddy old school he don't know about kids And I want a Cadillac just like his When he say leave I ain't go I hid But when he left I do what he did Chop up the weed and roll up the joint Make sure it's even and twist up the points Don't talk much don't laugh just listen Lead with your jab don't grab just hit em But daddy done pa**ed and I'm stuck with my teeth Eleven years young and I'm buckin' like teeth And she ain't really knowin' how to raise no man Life gettin' cold can't hold no hands Now I'm 15 on the block with a gat Chasin' my dreams with rocks in a sack Seems like yesterday if I could go back Matter of fact that's what I call this track [Hook] If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here [Verse] Okay it's 19 gettin' money off yola Sess in my chest that was way full doulja Half the young n***as on the block push for me Scorin' one brick and gettin' one pushed to me Two crack spots we don't sell no dimes Fifty dollar slabs you can cut em ten times Yall play ball but it was ballin' on mine Mama prayin' for a n***a but mama I'm fine But jealousy is one thing envy is two It's three times worse when the target is you May 22nd 1991 d**h around the corner I ain't seein' mine come 12 gauge shot to the face and I'm hit Now I'm in an unknown place like sh** How'd I get here and what did I do And if I'm dead then what's these tools Did I shoot back did them s**ers get away And if I live motherf**ers gotta pay Where's my mom at where's my sis And why I can't unball my fist I never thought it'd come around like this Paralyzed got me layin' in the bed like a b**h Seem like everything came unhitched Life was so grand but then it just switched, but [Hook] If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here [Verse] Doin' pretty good it's about '05 Made a quarter mil off coke and I'm live Laid the game down now it's all about rhymes 30 somethin' now and I'm just tryna get signed I met a young dude got flow like me Nice little swagger and knows bout streets I think I'ma bet mine on him Diamond in the rough and I done found my gem But dude got knocked by the Feds for crack And that was like a blow to the head for Black I paid his lawyers and told him be strong Dissed his snitches on all my songs And that's my bad can't play with the Feds Cause if you do you'll pay with your head Cause they gon hit it and when they get it Don't go to trial cause they gon split it I'd like to take this time to apologize to my Mom and my wife for the hurt I caused and I Hate I can't be there for my own son cause he Gotta get game through this telephone from me So what am I, I'm just a shell of a man Through the eyes, can never really tell what a man has Been through, a n***a failed as a man will protect you To be a hell of a man but if I could go back and change my track I promise it would never be a Twisted Black Because too much pain is attached to that But then f** it, I can't go back [Hook] If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here If I could go back in time, press rewind Change sh** around, give back the time Promise that I wouldn't even be here Man I promise that I wouldn't even be here
