Movin Backwards

I hope my legendary style of rap lives on

A fix to the earth like my feet that got cleats on

Moving backwards never, that was never the plan

Pushing shit along, we're in the stillness in the quicksand

Asphalt jumpin', lyrical concrete

My Jetta might be moving me throughout the many dark streets

Backwoods, boondocks, whatever terrain

Auf Wiedersehen, aloha, man, our feet ain't the same

I won't abuse these shoes, these shoes ain't made for reversing

Trudging through these motherfuckers first album footprint

Never-ever ghostwritten, your shit free, bitten

Grab my shit with both hands, iron grip, steel mitten

Bloviated, Jarobi ate it, and now it's gone

Closed mouths don't get fed or move ahead

To my hustlers with customers

Amateurs are being petty, trap lords with the fetty

Don't be no backwards, no, no backward ass ****

Don't be no backwards, no, no backward ass ****

Don't be no backwards, no, don't do it, ****

I spun around without a care, when I stopped, I felt lost

I'm two hills from the top tier, I really want to be boss

I figured it out, I figured it out somewhere

Maybe the answer's not up there

Maybe it's on the ground somewhere

When I stopped, I felt lost

Do you ever feel lost?

They wanna see my downfall

Turn a good day into a downpour

Thorns in the crown and the cross I bear

Why they wanna see me hangin' like a towel somewhere?

One heart, two bills, three tears, a hard steal

How I'm feelin' in my mind right here

I think I'm moving, I ain't going nowhere, nowhere

Baby, I feel lost

How I'm 'pose to know how home feels? I ain't even on my home field

And again, I feel lost

Was not a cruise that brought us here

Again, I feel lost

And I refuse to be stuck right here

I don't want to move backwards, and no

Can somebody just give me, can somebody just give me

Can somebody just give me direction?

I don't want to move backwards, and no

Can somebody just give me, can somebody just give me

Can somebody just give me direction? (Can't go backwards)

I don't want to move backwards, and no

Moving backwards never, that was never the plan

Can I vent? I was content bein' my own man

Up until that night, ill-fated, walking home, I was faded

Cocos races on my wrist like he was clapping his hands

How demeaning y'all, who could be blind to racism?

Bring bro-bro to me for the brotherly baptism

Instead of slaps, give 'em the dose of ab wisdom

He'll make it out of the jungle some way

Hey, it's figurative, not a real place you stay

Aye, it's mind state filled with muck and malaise

Uh, I got direction without using Waze

Mm, submitted myself to praying these days, yeah

We walking backwards, it's only for stage

Fist climbing up, revive again

And everybody's hands in the air

Four-fives to get your ass 'round somewhere

Come between and jump in the spare

Say it loud with a different ring, make my **** listen

(Somebody just give me, somebody just give me, somebody just give me)

Cool out, chill out ****, I'm cool

Cool out ****, nah, **** I'm through

Head down, ain't no tellin' what you going through

(Somebody just give me, somebody just give me, somebody just give me directions)

(I don't want to move backwards, no)

Cops killing us **** everywhere

Maybe we should get some guns too

She come around everyone now and a few

Man, I hope she really loves you

Living high ain't hard to do

Should be in the clouds somewhere

Feeling fresh, I snatch your bitches out of here

Might even take your broad too

Oops, I'm 'bout to get kicked outta here

Tell mama I'ma slide through

Still I, I'm trying to make it out of here

But stuck up in the same room

Too many open mouths in here

Sick of eating at a drive-thru
