Take You Back - Intellectual

[Intro]

CyHi, Stone Mountain stand up

Y'all might know me as Cydel though

Woodridge

I'mma take you back to Cydel in elementary

Stayed in detention I knew I would fail eventually

My childhood really fucked with me mentally

I remember telling Ashley I was a Prynce to be

Essentially, no one knew that potentially

I could change the world, onl' need myself and the man that invented me

My parents stayed in the bible, they used to vent to me

You can do all things through Christ, the strength is me

Since preschool, I always had the cheap shoes

Remember playing pencil pop, my partners used to chief glue

Huh, and I never made the honor roll

Reports cards full of F's, scared to let my momma know

Let me take you back in time

My last name was Young so I stayed in the back of the line

But I been a leader since niggas was wearin' Filas

Nautica trunks, Polo and shell-toe Adidas

La-la-la La-laaaa La-la

Yeah, CyHi

My teachers never took me on the field trip

I'm still salty 'bout that shit

Pickle Dill chips

I wasn't present cause I had a real gift

And if I did the school play, you know I was Will Smith

Pro-Keds with the teal tip

And the prom queen, cause I know she will skip

I was a young teen raised by a real crip

And a Chi-town OG back in '03

Sold 4 quarters, double-doubled off a oz

Hit the shot at the buzzer, sent the game to OT

Most players buy a chain for a trophy

And wonder why they can't stay out the frames of the police

You niggas so bleak

I did so much dirt growing up I need my soul bleached

Sometimes I wish that I could, go back to summer camp

And to us Birthday Bash's bigger than Summer Jam

And the first time I went to Freaknik

I was on the back of a truck in my football pads

And my cleats biitch

Rollin' up a blunt of Reggie bumpin' 3-6
