Remember your brother, your father, your cousin, your friend Life ain't over now matter fact it just began I'm on a mission this is just the way it had to be Can't be mad at me cause I'm tryin ta feed my family
When you think of me, picture this sad little boy ya know that's trapped in a grown man (grown man) And when you picture me see me in the world full of fans alone and far from his homeland (homeland) Cryin in reptition, feedin his family, bein the definition of hardcore (hardcore) And tryin to be what you expected out of me, gotta be proud of me, without slavin over an hourly I know it's feelin like I vanished in the dark, keep tamperin with what I'm so enamored with in this heart Gotta come better, be better than the average competitor when I'm impressin the press and etc-etc-et cetera It's lookin like it's easy but it easily eats at me, people need a piece of me but home is where I need to be If you're lookin for me and don't see me just leave your loved ones for months and see who still wants to be me
If you wake up and I'm not there Cry for me cause dammit I swear Nothin ever can stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind If you wake up and I'm long gone Close your eyes and play my song Nothin ever could stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind
If I could re-re-re-wind time I would (DE-BEAST ME) have you be-be-be-hind N9ne baby Cause I'm crazy, did dirt to a kind lady At first you were mine maybe that hurt you that lying baby
Cause I was gone, in physical gone, in spirit gone, mentally long gone Long enough for a nigga ta get near it Now when you come home some other john is your dearest I put a million on that betchu thinkin of me when he rear it
That's cool though, rappin shouldn't make you let your boo go Especially when the man is workin to get you dough Back then I was strugglin, baby now it's a new show Instead of a Maybach I guess you prefer a Peugeot
At night you're callin my name and drive him insane, incredible pain, you got no monetary gain I'm sorry baby that's comin from the heart of the N9ne I know you're thinkin about me at this moment wishin you could just.....rewind
If you wake up and I'm not there Cry for me cause dammit I swear Nothin ever can stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind If you wake up and I'm long gone Close your eyes and play my song Nothin ever could stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh (repeat x 6) Rewind Rewind Rewind Bet chu wish I could just rewind time And just work a 9 to 5, wouldn't of found N9ne Could of just found time to kick it with all who that I've neglected And find my place, a blank face in a office space
Cause I can't get it right get it right Everybody ya know is steadily mad at me Cause they be callin me Ringin my phone Wanna know whatsa matter with me when I'm traveling
I could just put the whole city behind me Never let anyone find me Drop off the face of the Earth My vacation hurts em the worst Yeah, explain it to my wife why daddy got ta go bye bye Live out his dreams so bye bye And dry-iy the eye-iy of my son and tell him why Daddy been gone so long, only seein him off n on And tuck him in for me Maybe when I get back and he'll remember me and cry for me The big guy who had me and gladly died for me And while you sitten idly Wonderin what's inside of me Rewind the times when you kicked it right along side of me
If you wake up and I'm not there Cry for me cause dammit I swear Nothin ever can stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind If you wake up and I'm long gone Close your eyes and play my song Nothin ever could stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind
