lyrics

Verse 1:

Back in the day
Had it all figured out
Well that's what I thought
Giving it the gift of the gab
And I didn't wanna listen
Back then yeah I had a lot of talk
Coz I was the man
Well, that's what I thought
I blamed all those girls
That were just tryna help
I was so insecure
My attitudes poor
Well it was
Might still be
Innocent until proven guilty
Dealt in half truths when I could've just lied
Pulled the wool over eyes
And made it look silky but
It is what it is
What's meant to be, well eventually will be
Even though I fear what comes next
Take it back to the start and
Then plan like a real g

Hook:
We plan we move
Go again from the start
Now we got the ball rolling
It's how I'm coping
Or I'll pen up some bars
And I'll start offloading
We plan we move
Go again from the start
Now we got the ball rolling
It's how I'm coping
Or I'll pen up some bars
And I'll start offloading

Verse 2:
When things get over the top
Take it back to the basics
Rediscover your values
And interpret your purpose
Don't over-contemplate it
Can't live my life chasing a payslip
When my wage stopped chasing inflation
Need to do more prayer meditation
Can't turn to God on a part-time basis
So
Gotta be more thankful
Won't be dealt tings that I can't handle
But more time I beg for forgiveness
That's why prayers hands look like a handful
So
Keep my energy natural
But I know when business is business
Compare the forecast to the actual
But we got two definitions of riches

Verse 3:
In 2-10
I was a yout' then
I'm a OG in this
I come through with the sweetest chicks
They broke me
Now call when they need a fix
Like babe I need the dick
They don't want me broke
So I act diva-ish
Got a new ting
With mood swings
She brings breakfast in bed to you
Heads incredible
Sex exceptional
She don't lay there like some vegetable
When we meet
I leave with a full belly and empty testicles
Dudes that ain't got a life be mocking yours
Bad energy comes with a toxic force
I set goals smash and wanted more
I kick 'em down I ain't knocking doors

Verse 4:
How many times did I reset
(Aight this ain't working man)
Like fuck what they want
I ain't getting my needs met
(Mm-mm)
They want me the same
But I switched the lanes
I'm coming like G-Frsh
And I put the G in genius
I put the G in grafting
Fuck it let's get it started
(Let's go)
I came up short before
But back to the drawing board
(Go back, go back)
One step
Back to hold my thoughts
I better move forward more
It got dark I got lost
I let go and let God
I learnt more when I lost
Progress at all costs from the start
