Back Then (feat. Mr. Brodnax)

Hold up, hold up, y'all don't wanna go there
 Go there, go there, '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 there
 Go there, go there, 'cause we already been
 Man if I could change the shit that we did back then
 I could tell them boys to
 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 you when I tell ya
 Hold up, hold up, y'all don't wanna go there
 Go there, go there, '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 there
 Go there, go there, '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
 You don't wanna get involved
 You gon' get in over your head and up all' they code and laws
 Naw, ain't no time to press pause
 Now they got the K9's out there sniffin' on your draws
 Dawg, 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 hom', 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, 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, baby 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 there
 Go there, go there, '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 there
 Go there, go there, '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
