[Adam Calhoun, Mr. Brodnax - Back Then lyrics]
Hold up, hold up, y'all don't
Wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then i could tell them boys
Think you're big and tough 'til that
Prison bus picks you up
Takes you down state
Got you starin' at the gates
Tryin' hold the tears back from
Rollin' down your face how'd I get here
Why'd I wind up in this place?
If only I could take back
Decisions that I made
Got me hand cuffed, shackles on my legs
Time to man up
Do the crime put your hands up pat 'em down
Surrounded by killers
Ain't no heaven to be found
I'd take it all back, if I could go back
To the days when I blacked out
And acted out of rage
That's a page of my life gone
Chapter erased shit happens everyday
It doesn't have to I'm sayin'
Wish I would have thought twice
'fore the bar fights
Couple scars might not of happened
Gotta be a better path
Can't change the past but
I'ma change the future of our youth
Listen to me when I talkin' to
Ya when I tell ya
Hold up, hold up, y'all don't
Wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then
I could tel them boys to hold up
You don't wanna get involved
You gon' get in over your head , naw
Ain't no time to press pause
Now they got the K9's out
There sniffin' on your draws
Dog, you got kicked out of your lane
You can't handle your emotions you
Got killers for the pain
Doin' 10 in the mornin' just so
You can start your day
Hey, I ain't mad at you home
I struggle with the same thing
I did drug after drug on the train
Mama lookin' at me cryin'
So I turn into a lane
Thankin' God for redemption
I ain't to late to make a change
All that shit I did make the man I am today
Say take a look around
We still above the ground
I don't claim to be perfect
But bitch I'm still gon' hold it down
Round after round
Trial after trial ain't no
Way I'll ever win
If I'm still in denial that's why
I told them boys to
Hold up, hold up, y'all don't
Wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then i could tel them boys
Wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then
I could tell them boys to hold up, hold up
Y'all don't wanna go down, go down, go down
'Cause we already been
Man if I could change the shit
That we did back then i could tell them boys
Think you're big and tough 'til that
Prison bus picks you up
Takes you down state
Got you starin' at the gates
Tryin' hold the tears back from
Rollin' down your face how'd I get here
