Back on me
I hope you never turn your back on me
I'm goin' further, baby (Further, baby)
Ooh, back on you
You know I'll never turn my back on you
Let's take it further, yeah
Uh, because I love you, I will never fold
Because I love you, I will never fold
Had to say it twice just to let you know
'Til it's set in stone, gotta let 'em go
A bunch of stories that was never told
But will you get the message, no Rosetta Stone, if I tell 'em all to you?
Instead of cryin' tears and sheddin' those
In the moments when you feel the most alone
You should really feel connected 'cause we all been there before, uh
Bench-pressin' all the weight off your chest and
Get to press another plate, interestin'
The introspective, uh, the hardly speak but listen
The often too proud to seek assistance, listen
I remember seein' peers reachin' higher peaks
Askin' myself, "Hell, why compete?"
But just like Homer and the Odyssey, I'm on a quest to findin' me
Even if my legs get shaky, still, I feel the ground beneath
The world'll judge you first based off appearance
'Cause even if your heart pure, we see before we hear it, uh
So hungry, I been eatin', so humble yet egocentric
You been livin' for your friends, you too damn amigo-centric
Took the knife out my back and started cuttin' through the tension
'Cause when the family feud, it feel like jeopardy's expected
So in essence, never let your fears take you on another route
I'm the lead and the stunt double, fuck you talkin' 'bout?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
That's just how it goes in the city where it snows
Where you gotta bring the flame for the cold, never fold, ayy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
That's just how it goes in a world full of woes
Where you gotta take the highs with lows, never fold
Represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
I gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta represent, show 'em where you comin' from)
I gotta represent, I gotta rep... I gotta represent (Ayy, ayy)
Gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
I gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta represent, yeah, yeah)
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta rep... I gotta represent, ayy)
I gotta represent
Uh, holdin' notes like they forgot to breathe
Can't stop 'til our opps is obsolete
We made fan club presidents out of nonbelievers
I mean, I seen some scenes you would not believe
Shawty's lyin' on the D, I be like, "What's the reason?"
If we ain't talkin' sloppy, ain't no toppin' me then
Jimmy told me everybody love a winner
Just ensure that you winnin' for the figure in the mirror
We in a race for the distance, ain't keepin' pace with the sprinters
Can't be a slave to opinions or be afraid of the instinct
It's the truth still
What's a highlight to a blooper in a news reel?
Love to the role models in my real life
The Phil Jackson, Uncle Phil types
That make sure that our wills right
My back strong, I been deadliftin' weight
I dumped it off on the pier like
You say it's heavy, but it's real light
This from my lips to God's ears
My dog said, "You gon' be C-4 before you see four in dog years"
I said, "Aw yeah"
Took a leap of faith and tell 'em, "All clear," aw yeah
Look, bro said, "You're the GOAT, better rap like it"
Mom said, "You a king, better act like it"
We ain't never goin', ayy
We ain't never goin' down like the gas prices
Rubber band in my hand, I'ma snap like it
Ayy, what would possess you to act like this? (What?)
Hey, I gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta represent)
I gotta represent, I gotta rep... I gotta represent (Ayy, ayy)
Gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Gotta represent (Gotta represent), uh-huh
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta represent, yeah, yeah)
Show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta represent, I gotta rep... I gotta represent, yeah)
Ayy, show 'em where you comin' from (I gotta...)
Back on me (Oh)
You know I'll never turn my back on you (Oh yeah)
You know I'll never turn my back on you (Yeah)
Back on you
Back on me
I hope you never turn your back on me
Let's take it further, baby
