Gavlyn, REVERIE, Vel The Wonder - Looking Back lyrics

Hey yo what's up Vel and Rev, man
It's been a minute
How ya ladies doing nowadays
I see y'all crushing

Yeah I was kicking it with JDS
Damn lately it's been crazy
The days just get a little hectic from
Remembering the times when shit was reckless

Ah but the hitters silent nowadays
Because they respect us

Yeah, yeah we queens in this
Finesse like it's nothing
I mean we really in this

That's right bitch

Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at spittin' off this rap
Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at from the front to the back

The sun drop down driving up Vermont
What now
It's time to wrap it up on top huh how
How did this even happen
Not long ago I was even rapping
Just found an outlet to ease
Off of my habit's
My paint was dripping off of that easel
And all the pain that had built
Up to point like a needle
I wrote my own book
And now I needed to read it
And whether I liked the outcome or not
I needed to see it it could all be so simple
But, you'd rather make it hard for me
And anything would set out the alarm for me
Live too fast too soon too young to die quick
(Gavlyn: die quick)
A couple times, I almost died shit
Then one day I woke up
Decided to take a cold cut
How much longer would I be able to hold up
I made a conscious decision affected my life
And how I went from to the price
And now life's never been so ill
I always reflect on my past, present
And still five years ago I needed to kill
So I started ripping rhymes speaking my mind
I'm bleeding and still

Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at spittin' off this rap
Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at from the front to the back

Time passes so fast
My beginning was supposed to
Make it impossible for me to be where I'm at
Shit was real different
Just a few years back Vel: few years back
Never thought I could get through all that
I had just moved back home to LA from Seattle
No car
Rode the bus before I ever got to travel
Before I went overseas bittersweet memories
See sick fantasies can become reality
But, I was hopeless i'm broken
I'm lost just did two weeks in county
Now I'm out of a job arrested at my own show
What a scene (aw hell nah)
Said it then, I'll say it now homie
Fuck the police two racks to my name
Rent free at my granny's
And these promoters fucking with my money
Feeling bummy sick and tired
No desires no goals no ambition
Just an idea a vision a small fan base
I'mma make 'em listen
I'mma make 'em scream my name at a show
Throw my own events and direct my own videos
I'mma blow it's crazy reminiscing
I reflect on my past and
Feel better about the present

Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at spittin' off this rap
Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at from the front to the back

So what it be like 15 with a rap dream
Tryin' to break down schemes that's
Flowing in my bloodstream
Know just what they mean
And how they make me feel
And I'm not mad at how they maul me
Honestly it never felt more real
So where they at though
Put your fucking hands high
And light one for you and I no I cannot lie
Five years ago all we did was try
And we out here hungry in the grind
Never die, still alive
And yo we never quitting
We stay living through the most
And if the lane different I ain't trippin
Love the moment that I am breathing
We steady moving
Don't see the purpose of any sleeping
We keep it pushing keep it fiending come on
Doing what I love and see the aftermath
Running through these chapters
I live them too fast they say noones safe
But, I'm built to last
Y'all scratching the surface
But yo I'm breaking glass

Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at spittin' off this rap
Looking back yo all the way back
Where it's at from the front to the back

Tiff you gonna come in here
(laughing) come on in join the party
Sick

(laughing) maybe you could be recording
Fully the whole time
Just to capture any fuck ups and shit
And just throw it in there
With out fake laughs (laughing)
Tight alrighty
