Back Then Lyrics by ELEVATION RHYTHM

Growing Pains

2022

[Intro: Aaron Cole]
Yeah, ayy, Rhythm, uh, okay

[Chorus: Aaron Cole]
I remember back when
I remember back then
I was bad Mike Jackson
That's when God came and tapped in
I can never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then
I remember back when
I remember back then
I was bad Mike Jackson
That's when God came and tapped in
I can never go back then
Never go back thеn
Never go back then
Nеver go back then

[Verse 1: Aaron Cole]
Look, now, I just lean on the rock, ayy
I've been tryna get right
Weight on me, heavy, I look to the light (Okay)
Been in the trenches, I thought I would die (Yeah)
If you know me, then you know how I was
Went all around, I was looking for love
Went through the L's just to get to the dubs
Only get that if I look up above (That's right)
World tryna hold me down, gotta run away, ayy (Gotta run away, ayy)
Far from the fame, yeah, I'm try'na dodge L.A., ayy
Gotta get back to Your love
Went from the rags to the top
Like He raised Lazarus up
Yeah, I've been raising the stocks, let's go

[Chorus: Aaron Cole]
I remember back when
I remember back then
I was bad Mike Jackson
That's when God came and tapped in
I can never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Jordan Holiday]
Why, why, why, why, why
Should I waste all my time
Losing my mind and believe all their lies?
Why, why, why, why, why
Would I try to rewind?
I just hit my prime
I just hit my stride

[Chorus: Jordan Holiday]
I remember back when
I remember back then
I was bad Mike Jackson
Then God came, tapped in
I can never go back then
I can never go back then
I can never go back then
I can never go back then

[Bridge: Davide Mutendji]
I cannot repeat
Saving up for the Yeezy's
Problems lookin' like 3D
Wishin' life would be easy
But livin' ain’t easy
Used to be a rookie, left D league
John Cena can't see me
Ask anybody who knew who I was
Feet on the ground, but my head in the clouds
Losin' my way, didn't know who to trust
That when He touched down and gave me His love
Thank God, He showed me who He really was
And I know He wasn't hiding in the clouds
Chasing me down, ninety-nine for the one
Son of a King, royalty’s in my blood

[Chorus: Aaron Cole, Jordan Holiday]
I remember back when
I remember back then
I was bad Mike Jackson
That's when God came and tapped in
I can never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then
Never go back then
I remember back when (I remember back when)
I remember back then (I remember back then)
I was bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)
That's when God came and tapped in (Then God came, tapped in)
I can never go back then (I can never go back then)
Never go back then (I can never go back then)
Never go back then (I can never go back then)
Never go back then (I can never go back then)

[Breakdown: Aaron Cole & Davide Mutendji]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (I can't hear y'all, a little bit louder)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (A little louder)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Five, four)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Three, two, one, two, let's go)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy (Keep it going, let's go)
Ayy, ayy (Go, go, go, go)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (Let's go, let's go)

[Chorus: Aaron Cole, Davide Mutendji, & Jordan Holiday]
I remember back when (I remember back when)
I remember back then (I remember back then)
Bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)
(Then God came, tapped in)
I can never go back then (I can never go back then)
Never go back then (Never go back then)
Never go back then (Never go back then)
Never go back then (I'll never go back then)
I remember back when (I remember back when)
I remember back then (I remember back then)
I was bad Mike Jackson (I was bad Mike Jackson)
That's when God came and– (Then God came, tapped in)
I can never go back then (I can never go back then)
Never go back then (Never go back then)
Never go back then (Never go back then)
Never go back then (I can never go back then)
