Run It Back Again

[Intro]

Yeah

Late nights

Still the same

Still the same

[Verse 1]

I was down bad on the backstreet

Counting every rumor like a back fee

Mama said "they love you when the track heat"

Mama said "they love you when the track heat"

Funny how they vanished when it cracked, see?

Group chat silent when I need them

But my phone light up when I beat them

Every goal that I wrote on a receipt then

Got crossed off, costs deep, but I keep ten

Toes on the floor, eyes on the ceiling

Prayers in a row, pain in the building

Talk to myself like "you one in a million"

Talk to the doubts like "who you killing?"

They don't know the nights I was stressed out

Talking to the shadows when the power went out

Heart on read, all my texts timed out

Had to learn to bet on what I’m about (yeah)

[Chorus]

Run it back again, I ain’t done yet

All this pressure on my name, that’s a sunset

I was waiting in the cold for a sunrise

Now I’m shining through the smoke in your bloodshot eyes

Run it back again, let the pain heal

Turn the bruises on my heart into plain steel

Every loss that I took made a new plan

You gon’ see me when I land, run it back again

(run it back again, yeah yeah)

[Verse 2]

I remember hand-me-down shoes, they would peel quick

Holes in my socks, kept it real slick

Still showed up, couldn’t miss one shift

Clocked in early, had to learn that grit

Boss said "kid, you’ll be stuck here"

I just grinned, wrote a verse in my lunch chair

Dreams in the margins of a punch card

Now they hit me up like I’m some star (oh)

Funny how they treat you when the tables spin

Same ones who laughed tryna snake a win

Same old jokes, got a shaky grin

Same old "day ones" tryna fake it in

I forgive, I don’t fold, I just fade back

Let the karma catch a ride where they played at

I got love in my veins, can you taste that?

But I’ll never lose the hunger where I came at (nah)

[Chorus]

Run it back again, I ain’t done yet

All this pressure on my name, that’s a sunset

I was waiting in the cold for a sunrise

Now I’m shining through the smoke in your bloodshot eyes

Run it back again, let the pain heal

Turn the bruises on my heart into plain steel

Every loss that I took made a new plan

You gon’ see me when I land, run it back again

(run it back again, yeah yeah)

[Bridge]

Who gon’ ride when the rain come?

Who gon’ stay when the fame done?

Who gon’ look me in the face, say

"You the same one, you the same one" (you the same one)

I’ve been talking to the sky like a close friend

Tell me, will this little light really glow then?

If I fall on the way to the gold end

Promise that I’m getting up, going in (going in)

[Chorus]

Run it back again, I ain’t done yet

All this pressure on my name, that’s a sunset

I was waiting in the cold for a sunrise

Now I’m shining through the smoke in your bloodshot eyes

Run it back again, let the pain heal

Turn the bruises on my heart into plain steel

Every loss that I took made a new plan

You gon’ see me when I land, run it back again

(run it back again, yeah yeah)

[Chorus]

Run it back again, I ain’t done yet

All this pressure on my name, that’s a sunset

I was waiting in the cold for a sunrise

Now I’m shining through the smoke in your bloodshot eyes

Run it back again, let the pain heal

Turn the bruises on my heart into plain steel

Every loss that I took made a new plan

You gon’ see me when I land, run it back again

(run it back again, run it back again)

(run it back again, run it back again)
