Movin Backwards

I hope my legendary style of rap lives on

A-fixed to the Earth like my feet, they got cleats on

I'm moving backwards never, that was never the plan

Pushing shit along, render stillness in the quick sand

Asphalt jumpin', lyrical, concrete

My Jedi mind 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

Then trudging through these motherfuckers' first album Footprinting

Never ever ghostwritten, yo' 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, scam my chicks just being petty

Trap lords with the fetty, don't be no backwards, no

No backward ass nigga, don't be no backwards, no

No backward ass nigga, don't be no backwards, no

Don't do it, nigga

I spun around without a care

When I stopped, I felt lost

I'm two heels from the top tier

Really want to be boss

I figured it out, figured it out somewhere

Maybe the answer's not out 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 hit the cross I bear

Why they wanna see me hangin' like a towel somewhere

One eye, two bills, three tears, a heart still

How I'm feelin' in my mind right here

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

Maybe why I feel lost, yeah

How I'm 'posed 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, yeah

I don't want to move backwards, no

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me direction?

I don't want to move backwards, no

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me directions?

I don't want to move backwards, no

Moving backwards never, that was never the plan

Can I vent? I was content being my own man

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

Po puts braces 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 him 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

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

Uh, I got direction without using Waze

Submitting myself to praying these days

Yeah, moonwalking backwards, it's only for stage

Feds lining up, we're right here and everybody's hands in the air

Four-five so get your ass found somewhere

Caught between hope and despair

Say it loud, what it take to make my niggas listen

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me

Cool out, chill out nigga, I'm cool

Cool out nigga, nah, nigga I'm through

Head down, ain't no tellin' what you gon' do

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me

Somebody just give me direction

I don't want to move backwards, no

Cops killing us niggas everywhere

Maybe we should get some guns too

She come around every now and a few

Man, I hope she really loves you

Living high ain't hard to do

She'll be in the clouds somewhere

Feeling fresh, I strut your bitches out of here

Might even take your broad too

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

Tell mama I'mma slide through

Stealer, I'm trying to get out of here

But stuck up in the same room

Too many open miles in here

Sick of eating out at drive through

Hahaha, look at this motherfucker
