I Wanna Go Back



I wanna go back
I wanna go back
Uhh cause I remember way back when
Got kicked out the crib and had a place to stay
In the clem with some friends George and Jay
We were the Funky Fresh Crew when I DJ'ed
But what a shock it was to be on the set
Comin from a nice home, now livin in the project
No regrets cause I learned alot
And I earned alot in the parking lot
Doin dirt for the OG's slangin rocks
They used to call me that little white kid who could rock
On the 2 turntables and that aint no fable
Watchin Eddie Murphy instead of Clark Gable
My whole life style switched haas
Puttin in hours at the 76 car wash
But I could never wait for them weekends to come
(dum ditty dum, ditty, ditty dum, dum)
Boom, boom the base went
On the turntables funkin it up in Dukes basement
Groove times production we kept the jams jumpin
Open up your ears, I'm trin to tell you somethin
And give some love back to those that love me
206 Court street and my second mom Tracey
little Keesha and Cole, my mellow Bo, and my home girl Flow
Doc Relm C used to buy me some
Kept my tables at his crib when it wasen't in the clubs
Tom Whitts and Mike Shaffer
Used to give me rides and buy me groceries
When I didn't have no paper and I'm grateful for this
Sometimes I look back and it's these times I miss
Makin demo's on my old four track
Sometimes I can't help but think "I wanna go back"
I wanna go back, back in the time
I wanna go (I wanna go) back
I wanna go way back, way back ya
I wanna go back, back in the time
I got kicked out again for bein fly
Got invited to stay with Tony and Eli
And they treated me like brothers
R.I.P to their cool ass mother
And my brother Dimdada
And for the hommies that aint here I still got a lotta love
I wanna go back, way back,
And change things and bring y'all back
I pour a tear out for y'all
I'm singin i saw the light from my cousin Paul
Life brings alot of tradgety
I look around at times and it's so sad to see
A waisted life, or a broken home
But all I can do is take care of my own
I feel so alone like a strainger
And sometimes I express my love through my anger
And I've lost alot of friends for this
Black Man, T-Bone, Ernest, KDC, and Chris
And the rest of the Beach Crew
I aint sayin that I'm wrong but I still got love for you
Cause I remember how it used to be
Make way mother fucker Beach Crews in the party
To the right, to the left
Me Black Man, and Funk Daddy, Deaf Steph
And sometimes I feel blessed for sure
To have been a part of one of raps last great tours
Ice Cube, Too Short, Dee Nice
yo yo Kid Rock and it dont stop, I wanna go back
I wanna go back, back in the time
I wanna go (I wanna go) back
I wanna go way back, way back ya
I wanna go back, back in the time
I remember little Robert, cause I stayed with him
I used to go and see Campbell when I needed a trim
And when times got grim and it seemed that I lost my way
I used to go and get blown out with Ravae
Bumpin shoulders and slappin hands
Willy Night had a disco right in his basement man
Them New Haven jams
Me and Black Man runnin crazy scams
Not a black or white thing, a wrong or right thing
Just makin that money, and pullin them hunnies
Spandex shorts and the halter tops
Slangin them rocks, and runnin from the cops
The only white kid walked around on the block
Crusin in Amps low ridin rag top
Go see Howard for what ya need
Underage buying 40's and bags of weed
Buyin late night liquor from Bubba Coles
People used to say "Rock you got soul"
Vince looked out and so did Lou
Had a studio buzzin from the cocaine Lou
Chuck, D and Murph were the original three
And now Richard, D, and Kracker are down with me
I got a studio records and a taste of fame
But when I roll through the clem it's still all the same
Even though things change, you know I aint forgot
Cause the love from the past gave birth to Kid Rock
But it's hard to go back to the things I knew
Cause the new life I have now lives for two
Yeah, and that's where I'm at
I wanna go back
(back in the time)
and thats where I'm at
I wanna go back
I wana go way back way back yo
I wanna go back
Back in the time
Bring it down
Heyyyyy, heyyyyy
Let it ride, let it ride
Way back way back
