WaY BaCK - Cantrell

I come down and I swerve, yeah

I come down, feel like Earl Price

Rising up like my serve, nice

I go down, change my girl life

Can’t no fame make my wrongs rights

Humble pie by the slice

No APC, boy, this faded glory, this the Ford Taurus

This the Acura sittin' on eighteens, I’ma say they twenties

Where they dare a nigga come and take it from 'em

If you feeling froggy

I was leap-years ahead of anything that could’ve took me under

Where we went, I’m convinced, you ain’t been late on rent from paying dues

Prime time, on my shit, let me vent, wake 'em up, never snooze

Out of sight, out of mind, homicides, pray you never make the news

Pray we making better moves, tell 'em somethin' they never knew

Take 'em way back, way back

Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back

Lil' Steve with the wave cap or the braids back

Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back

(Ah naw, man, look)

Way back before the deal, way back before the shine

Way back before the glow, way back before the climb

Way back before the moves, way back before the ride

Way back (Way back), way back (Way back), way back

Obstacles are optical illusions, they ain’t really there

But jump high anyway, jump high just in case

I’m Deion making plays, fuck the code, we crack the safe

If it ain’t there, make a way

Southern bred, no roll Tide, making waves

My dues I paid, I bring the flames

I run the maze and come out clean

You don’t know the half I’ve seen

They hopped the pot and came out cream

Mama worked the wrist to serve the fiends

Family business, I flipped the kitchen to a

Place to give my deepest feelings to 'em

If you ain’t with it, you gettin' evicted, nigga

Brick by brick, I built this building, nigga

They can’t act like they don’t hear me now

I break the mold they probably fear me, huh?

Break the bread, we toast to winning

Don’t you sip the blood if you ain’t really with it, boy

Ain’t nothin' changed, still got a hundred dreams to my name

Still got battle wounds from my pain

Still tryin' to find my way through this thing

Takin' y’all way back, way back

Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back

Lil' Steve with the wave cap or the braids back

Know I’m talkin' 'bout way back, way back

(Ah naw, man, look)

Way back before the deal, way back before the shine

Way back before the glow, way back before the climb

Way back before the moves, way back before the ride

Way back (Way back), way back (Way back), way back

What up, boy?

It’s your Uncle Mike

Your mama told me about your little situation

I’m sorry things couldn’t work out between you and whatchamacallit, but hey

It’s plenty more out there, man, you’ll find the one for you

Until then, keep your head up, have some fun

And don’t be silly, man, wrap your willy

Alright, call me back
