Rear View Mirror

[Rapper Big Pooh:]
 Yeah, it's Rapper, it's 9th Wonder, hah
 I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror
 And I recognise that people do change
 While viewing life in my rear view mirror
 I recognise we all gotta go through thangs
 This is life in my rear view
 If you just turn around, you can see it too
 This is life in my rear view
 If I just turn around, I can see it through
 As time go by, I ain't gon' lie
 I think I seen enough to make a grown man cry
 My grandmamma's gone, then my uncle's on
 Gotta stay strong for the fam
 I gotta keep strong for myself
 Seen my little bit of wealth, money can't cure
 All of the pain that the heart endures
 The memory's here, here comes a new year
 Here comes a new spirit, tell me can you hear it?
 Got a little louder, we all begin to fear it
 So we push back, then we push out
 'Til we still alone and the world forgot about
 The things that you did, goals you accomplished
 That dream that you had, now a broken promise
 I vowed to be honest, bare my soul
 Hear people taking shots and they wonder why I'm cold
 My story unfolds like any other
 Gotta pay homage to them older brothers
 Who came here before me, laid the foundation
 Started as a fad, now a great situation
 I ain't had a job since '03
 But the music business is more than you see
 We made a bit of magic when we did it as three
 Then we grew up, then we grew apart
 That's when I realised it was bigger than art
 But grown men gon' do what grown men do
 I can't put the blame all on another dude
 No communication, that mean we didn't speak
 That's why on +Getback+, it was two, not three
 Wish nothing but the best to my homeboy P
 I also went through it with my homeboy G
 But this go around took a little bit of time
 I already put our whole story in a rhyme
 The lord says forgive, well mama I'm tryin
 Ronnie I'm flyin, all grown up
 Came home just in time, seen your boy blown up
 I know it's that time, gotta stand on my two
 Tighten my belt, lean on Rapper Pooh
 Was it really love that we shared as a crew?
 Cause love ain't something you say, you do
 It was all fun when we were all young
 And we were all dumb, just making jams
 Of course shit change when you start to see grands
 Everybody reaching out to you with their hands
 Not having structure, two separate plans
 Niggas wanna vote for themselves as the man
 Now we got factions, no longer whole
 Shit can't work if you all want control
 Niggas never sold our souls to the Devil
 At the same time we gripped our own shovels
 Heavy on the bass, went light on the treble
 Big bad company, we just little pebbles
 Learnt a whole lot, don't regret the move
 Came back to it indie, had nothing to prove
 Go hard every time, got nothing to lose
 At the end of the day, it's your right to choose
 I'm seeing life in my rear view mirror
 And I recognise that people do change
 While viewing life in my rear view mirror
 I recognise we all gotta go through thangs
 This is life in my rear view
 If you just turn around, you can see it too
 This is life in my rear view
 If I just turn around, I can see it through
