Jelly Roll & Struggle Jennings
Go Back
[Intro: Struggle Jennings]
From time to time I look back
I go back
[Verse 1: Struggle Jennings]
Uh, there was somethin' special 'bout the times that we had
Our loved ones in the penitentiaries, couple in rehabs
We each had, same opportunity, now he mad
'Cause I been doin' good since coming home lookin' like He-Man
I heard that she mad, 'cause she ain't had me at my best
Life gave us different lessons, I guess we ain't passed the test
There's a reason everything happen
I bought another ticket for the ride
This time the seatbelt's fastened
Thinking back I loved them days, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause life is evolution, had to fall to spread my wings
Now I soar through the clouds with the woman of my dreams
I go back from time to time to see the beauty chaos brings
[Chorus 1: Jelly Roll]
I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze 'em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blow
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go
[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
Young, dumb and broke just tryna get out the hole
The sound of a tortured soul it's water boilin' on the stove
Mama singin' "Ooh child, things are gon' get easier"
Meanwhile I'm 'bout to move out thinkin' I ain't in need of her
Sixteen with a chip on my shoulder, I couldn't budge
I thought I was a grown man and so did the judge
Now I'm ridin' reminiscin'
Thinkin' how I overcame challenges
Wish Ice Mike woulda listened
'Fore they gave the man all them calendars
Reece just did 18 years, he's home and he's feelin' fine
But he wasn't even 18 year old when that man committed that crime
And I'm just ridin', rotatin' right now and I'm reflectin'
I might roll one up and have a freestyle session
[Chorus 1: Jelly Roll]
I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blow
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go
[Bridge: Struggle Jennings]
You know I'm blessed to be where I'm at
Never thought that we'd make it this far
And I love where I'm at today
But some days I just wish I could go back
[Chorus 2: Jelly Roll]
I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was young
We ain't had no worries, none at all
I wish that I could go back
To the hands of time and freeze
But that's more than a clock on the wall
[Chorus 1: Jelly Roll]
I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze 'em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just get blow
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go
