Back Then Lyrics by AAND

Blurred Sentiments

2021

Lemme take you back way back to centerfield
Way before I was even thinking of record deals
Every three Friday’s I would call of
But I gotta show up to get my check still
Never seen life anymore then a game that’s what I thought
My girl at the time moved west it broke her heart
Dealing with heatwaves and earthquakes her mom said they never coming back guess they loyal to a fault
I was 15 with big dreams of being something morе than a bank teller or at a cash registеr
Tryna make boss moves I’m tellin ya
Money gettin spent on anyone with the big dreams that’s sellin em
Spillin all of the spliff guts as she roll and tuck lookin at me like yea we bout to be up
Then she put it to my lips I ain’t wanna look like I was no bitch so I closed my eyes tight said a prayer fo I hit
Was my first time getting high looking at her through my bloodshot eyes seen her shake her head and smile
And at that moment right there I knew she was the one
Till she gave me a call in LA knew it was done

As I look back wish I could by time
Do it over again stay in my right mind
Starting on the field ain’t playing sideline
Holding it down right now because it’s my time

Life is for the living but we don’t notice it when we live it
Filled with bitter regrets we ain’t did it
Got me thinking where I’d be at
If I would’ve stayed playing ball
I could dribble dunk and shoot man I did it all
But my grades suck
I kept flunking on every test even though given chances to make up
Honestly didn’t care much
Too rambunctious- instead of me throwing in them three points- I was throwing them punches
Skipped class everyday in the bunches
Only kid in the whole school you would see stall three lunches
I was so free being who I wanted to be
At that time I couldn’t care less about a degree
Moving too fast having them good times
First kid at 18 had to kiss b-ball goodbye
Working in a warehouse oh my
Pulling them 12 hours shifts
Steadily stressed and I know why

It’s my life- made me into the man I am today
Proud of myself in each and every way
If I could go back and god gave a chance to stroll back- I promise on my kids wouldn’t change a thing
Yes I said kids see I got 4
And honestly I should’ve had a lot more
What you stirring the pot for
Knew that my time was coming
Kept my head down and stayed runnin
They need to feel me
Gotta day something

As I look back wish I could by time
Do it over again stay in my right mind
Starting on the field ain’t playing sideline
Holding it down right now because it’s my time
