Chorus

We can take it back to where it started at
Couple Bad decisions never thought I'd be apart of that
Now here I stand just trying to be a man
Thought I had it all figured out
Now it's out of hand

So we gone go back to the beginning
back before the women
back before the sinning
back when I child was so innocent
and it seemed like the future was limitless

We gone take it back
To when my favorite rap
Was parents just don’t understand
Imagine that
And I remember like yesterday
Putting my momma through drama
She sacrificed for her kids
I didn’t appreciate nada
Temper was hot as Nevada
She gave me all that I needed
I wanted the whole enchilada
I felt far from completed
I wanted every new product
Cuz the cool kids had it
Never felt fresh
Though was still far from ragged
kids had guess and karl kani habits
and I guess you guess that it truly felt tragic to me
cuzing having less more or less was like a habit for we
ask why this had to happen to me
all the girls wanted dudes with the name brands
not the dude different shirt but the same pants
and as a man it was the same dance
its fucked up life is all about the circumstance
We can take it back to where it started at
Couple Bad decisions never thought I'd be apart of that
Now here I stand just trying to be a man
Thought I had it all figured out
Now it's out of hand

So we gone go back to the beginning
back before the women
back before the sinning
back when I child was so innocent
and it seemed like the future was limitless
By the time I got to high school
I was comfortable in my role as damn fool
What I was missing in fashion
I would make up by cracking jokes having girls pretty laughing
If I had to
I was quick to curse a teacher out
Just to show im not a bitch
And im down to
Had my momma at the school all time
Hella smart honor student always getting out of line
And for a time I guess it sort of worked
Had a couple girls on me real explicit with the flirt
That it aint work
Found myself hurt
Cuz I had never real seen a girl outside her skit
Always felt dissed
Never got kissed
And high school aint the place this
Lots friends for being a virgin
And that’s when I found out
Having morals was a burded

As a grown man
In my homeland
Had a couple bad experiences with romance
And mass hysteria
Acting out of character
Say the more the merrier
But love was a barrier
To commonsense
Thought a woman made me prominent
But a gift is only good if u honor it
And I tried to
But I'm not designed to
Make a woman stay if she's really not inclined to
So I'm resigned to
Do it all alone
That's the lessons that I learned from a single parent home
My momma taught me how to be a man
So I'm convinced that lack of sex doesn't really alter plans
Just hope when I catch my stride
I can give women all cast ego aside
But in the mean
I know where it began
Lost humility
On the way from a boy to a man

We can take it back to where it started at
Couple Bad decisions never thought I'd be apart of that
Now here I stand just trying to be a man
Thought I had it all figured out
Now it's out of hand

So we gone go back to the beginning
back before the women
back before the sinning
back when I child was so innocent
and it seemed like the future was limitless
