Looking Back (feat. Reverie & Vel The Wonder)

Hey yo what's up Vel and Rev, man

It's been a minute

How ya ladies doing nowadays I see y'all crushing

Yeah I was kicking it with JDS

Damn lately it's been crazy

The days just get a little hectic from

Remembering the times when shit was reckless

Ah but the hitters silent nowadays because they respect us

Yeah, yeah, we queens in this

Finesse like its nothing

I mean we really in this

That's right bitch

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

Spittin' off this rap

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

From the front to the back

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

Spittin' off this rap

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

From the front to the back

The sun drop down

Driving up Vermont

What now

It's time to wrap it up on top huh how

How did this even happen

Not long ago I was even rapping

Just found an outlet to ease off of my habits

My paint was dripping off of that easel

And all the pain that had built up to point like a needle

I wrote my own book

And now I needed to read it

And whether I liked the outcome or not

I needed to see it

It could all be so simple

But you'd rather make it hard for me

And anything would set out the alarm for me

Live too fast too soon too young to die quick (die quick)

A couple times, I almost died shit

Then one day I woke up

Decided to take a cold cut

How much longer would I be able to hold up

I made a conscious decision

Affected my life

And how I went from [?]

To [?] the price

And now life's never been so ill

I always reflect on my past, present, and still

Five years ago I needed to kill

So I started ripping rhymes speaking my mind

I'm bleeding and still

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

Spittin' off this rap

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

From the front to the back

Time passes so fast

My beginning was supposed

To make it impossible for me to be where I'm at

Shit was real different

Just a few years back

Never thought I could get through all that

I had just moved back home to LA from Seattle

No car, rode the bus before I ever got to travel

Before I went overseas

Bittersweet memories

See sick fantasies

Can become reality

But I was hopeless

I'm broken

I'm lost

Just did two weeks in county

Now I'm out of a job

Arrested at my own show

What a scene (aw hell nah)

Said it then, I'll say it now homie

Fuck the police

Two racks to my name

Rent free at my granny's

And these promoters fucking with my money

Feeling bummy

Sick and tired

No desires no goals no ambition

Just an idea a vision

A small fan-base

I'mma make 'em listen

I'mma make 'em scream my name at a show

Throw my own events and direct my own videos

I'mma blow

It's crazy reminiscing

I reflect on my past and feel better about the present

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

Spittin' off this rap

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

From the front to the back

So what it be like 15 with a rap dream

Tryin' to break down schemes that's flowing in my bloodstream

Know just what they mean

And how they make me feel

And I'm not mad at how they maul me

Honestly it never felt more real

So where they at though

Put your fucking hands high

And light one for you and I

No I cannot lie

Five years ago all we did was try

And we out here hungry in the grind

Never die, still alive

And yo we never quitting

We stay living through the most

And if the lane different I ain't trippin

Love the moment that I am breathing

We steady moving

Don't see the purpose of any sleeping

We keep it pushing keep it fiending come on

Doing what I love and see the aftermath

Running through these chapters

I live them too fast

They say noones safe

But I'm built to last

Y'all scratching the surface

But yo I'm breaking glass

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

Spittin' off this rap

Looking back

Yo all the way back

Where it's at

From the front to the back

Tiff

You gonna come in here

(Laughing)

Come on in join the party

Sick

[?]

Maybe you could be recording fully the whole time

Just to capture any fuck ups and shit

And just throw it in there with out fake laughs

Tight

Alrighty
