[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, keepin' 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, keepin' 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, keepin' 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'
