[Verse 1]

Rose-tinted frames I ain't seeing clearly

Opening up more but I don’t need you near me

Look, I'm just trying to live it to the best

And I confess I ain't playing checkers, I ain’t playing chess

I ain't playing games witcha, I'm just venting these confessions

I been trying listen but been sleeping through these lectures

I'm tired of these heartfelt poems, need to get back to the flexin'

(Gimme a sec)

Yeah I think they forgot who they dealin' with

Name someonе who I don't wipe the floor and ceiling with, yеah

Now they got me on that demon shit

Throw the keys, I drive the whip out of the dealership

Man I'm really, really, really rich

Yeah, haha

And I’m really, really clear of this

I round up to what the nearest is

And I know it ain’t fair but they be fearing this

And I ain't looking in my rear, so I be airing this

Yeah, ’cause there's no devil in the doubt

There's levels to this shit, so I been bezeling it out

And I ain't got no time to check the time, so I iced it out

Now that bitch don’t tip, I survived the drought

And you know I won't quit until my light is out

And I'll never run out of shit to write about

As long as the money's coming in

I'ma run this shit until the end


[Chorus]

I ain't looking back

I don't care if they doubt me

I ain't looking back

You know I'll shout it the loudest

I ain't looking back

I know you see me on this mountain

I ain't looking back

Yeah, I'll make them the proudest

I ain't looking back

Turn this money to a fountain

I ain't looking back

Man it keeps on amountin'

I ain't looking back

Lost myself and then I found it

I ain't looking back

Now it's time to remind them

I ain't looking back


[Verse 2]

And I ain't worried about shit now, I've never been

Me, I set the precedent

I run the game, no I ain't renting it

Define real, I reinvented it

Money I'ma represent it to the death of me

My biggest fear is them forgetting me

But I be evergreen

For the green I'll be whatever the cheddar be

I'm a pedigree, a cut above the rest

For the melody, I'm ready for the test

Use a feather when I'm signing for these cheques

I ain't really gotta flex, I just do it for the vibe

I don't love you, I just said it for the night

I won't forget it if it's right

If it's right, then I'll know it

Spent my whole life to be a poet

I see the finish but I ain't slowin'

Yeah I spread my seeds, now I'm sowing

And I ain't prayed for years but I'm pre-blessed

I'm tryna see more and speak less

And I live with no regrets, I just wish that I could revest


[Chorus]

I ain't looking back

I don't care if they doubt me

I ain't looking back

You know I'll shout it the loudest

I ain't looking back

I know you see me on this mountain

I ain't looking back

Yeah, I'll make them the proudest

I ain't looking back

Turn this money to a fountain

I ain't looking back

Man it keeps on amountin'

I ain't looking back

Lost myself and then I found it

I ain't looking back

Now it's time to remind them

I ain't looking back
