[Verse 1]
This time last year, I was feeling low
This time last year, I was on the ropes
This time last year, Kyd was hella broke
(This time last year)
This time last year, runnin' outta juice
This time last year, kinda had me spooked
This time last year, wanted me to lose
(This time last year)

[Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It’s poppin', poppin'
Nothin' keep, nothin' keep, keeping me down
Nothin', nothin'
I'm no messiah
But I walked through fire
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It's poppin', poppin'

[Verse 2]
This time last year, my girl couldn't wait
This time last year, I was losing faith
This time last year, took all I could take
(This time last year)
This time last year, enemies were friends
This time last year, they were jumpin' ship
This time last year, finally making sense
(This time last year)
[Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It's poppin', poppin'
Nothin' keep, nothin' keep, keeping me down
Nothin', nothin'
I'm no messiah
But I walked through fire
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It's poppin', poppin'

[Bridge]
This time next year, I'll be way too up
This time next year, so high I have to duck
This time next year, fly Ma to see her son
(This time, this time next year)

[Chorus]
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It's poppin', poppin'
Nothin' keep, nothin' keep, keeping me down
Nothin', nothin'
I'm no messiah (I'm no messiah)
But I walked through fire (I walked through fire)
Look at me, look at me, look at me now
It's poppin', poppin'
