Backwards Lyrics by Maybel Montez

0

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I stare up at the ceiling
Praying from a far
Wondering when I'll get my chance
To prove that I'm star
Told my momma I would make it
And she'd live to see the day
That her son would be on stage
To win a VMA
Nothing's better than to see a smile coming from the fam
Every single thing you did it was all worth it in the end
Tryna grind and pray, everyday cause I was born to win
But no matter how hard I try

[Chorus]
I always seem to go backwards
Backwards for the moment
Guess it's leave it or you own it, or its something
I always seem to go backwards
Nothing was the same
And now I'm done playing games
I'll always remain
It goes backwards
Loves such a surprise
And every time I see you girl I open up my eyes
Why? ooh
Its cause I wanna be with you
I can't resist no more, no more

[Verse 2]
Now I'm pushing my-self to be the greatest in the game
I would never ever leave these broken promises remain
Cannot push myself to fail, girl I gotta make a way
Gotta hustle every second stacking paper everyday
Oh, I'm on a roll now how can I make it through the ride?
Heading from MD, to LA I'm finna make a rise
Gotta fly cause I'm higher than the clouds up in the sky
But no matter how hard I try

[Chorus]
I always seem to go backwards
Backwards for the moment
Guess it's leave it or you own it, or its something
I always seem to go backwards
Nothing was the same
And now I'm done playing games
I'll always remain
It goes backwards
Loves such a surprise
And every time I see you girl I open up my eyes
Why? ooh
Its cause I wanna be with you
I can't resist no more, no more

[Verse 3]
I was in the cut one day
They tryna kill time
When I saw this beautiful girl I swear to God man I found the real me
I told her that I can't get her pregnant
Until then, I'm a fuck protected
And if she says that she don't accept it
Then I guest I'ma just forget it
If a ho just wants your money it's not the time
Just swerve it off, leave that bitch where she stand
And then, find another girl who deserve it all
I'm a find that one day if a bitch cares leave that ho alone
Swear that I am not the one to fall victim to rolling stone

[Chorus]
I always seem to go backwards
Backwards for the moment
Guess it's leave it or you own it, or its something
I always seem to go backwards
Nothing was the same
And now I'm done playing games
I'll always remain
It goes backwards
Loves such a surprise
And every time I see you girl I open up my eyes
Why? ooh
Its cause I wanna be with you
I can't resist no more, no more
