Back to the Start Lyrics by Lil Wyte, Jelly Roll

2013

[Chorus: Lil Wyte]
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame
For us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said
It would be this hard
Now take me back to the start
[Verse 1: Lil Wyte]
5:25 AM and I’m sipping crown
Willin I’m at the house by myself
In the dark chillin' thinkin' bout
My life and where it all went
All the people that have crossed me
And them dollars that I spent
Where did it go I do not know
Down the drain maybe
All the fame money alcohol and drugs made me crazy
I like to think I'm pretty smart
And full of heart
But if I had one wissssh
(take me back to the start)
All I gotta say is that
I hope you're looking down and feeling proud
You always taught me
If I had somethin' to say - to say it loud
Well here I am I’m on this track
And I’m spillin' out my guts
If I would known ten years ago
What I now know
I would have hung it up but then again
That would have been me given up
And I can’t imagine my fans
Not being able to listen up
'Cause when I speak
They feel my pain
Most of em going through the same thing
All I’m trying to do is make it through
This difficult change - know what I’m saying?
[Chorus: Lil Wyte]
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame
For us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said
It would be this hard
Now take me back to the start
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
Yo
(now take me back to the start)
I’m fucked up I feel like I been to hell and back
A lot of people left me flat - like I’m a welcome mat
These memories
I’m just holding onto em close
Riding by myself
Got me talkin' to a ghost
This pistol on my hip
Go on mobbin’ through the city
Feel like everybody out here’s
Tryna get me
A body full of tattoos
And different war wounds
Battles in the street
To fighting battles in the courtrooms
And some days I swear to God
That I don’t wanna live
Put a blunt inside my brother's casket
Before I close the lid
Man I’m living close to the edge
Tryin’ not to let this fame thing
Go to my head…
I don’t give a fuck about the rap
Or all these instrumentals
Sitting at this cemetery
With this pistol to my temple
Everybody sad "like that boy had potential”
I just wanna go back to when
Life was so simple
[Chorus: Lil Wyte]
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame
For us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said
It would be this hard
Now take me back to the start
