[Chorus: Mekdelawit]

Sit and watch my youth wash away

Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay

Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)

Wish you could've stayed

But I'll make do with the pain, uh

I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh

(Look back, look back, look back, look back)

[Verse 1: redveil]

Alright, look

I ain't looking over my shoulder, I keep my blood around

Keep my temperament colder, don't need a hundred rounds

Power structure gon' see my brother and try to gun him down

Learn to maneuver, we swimming, we never drown

Progression never came easy as hollow tips splitting faces

I face regret for my formative years

The debt that I hold is close to my heart still

Nevеr let my heart spill

A nigga nevеr got to play, but played my part still

I earned the buying power, but I kept my cart still

'Cause all I know is how to get it off my own will

Analytical from the pain felt

But ignorance is bliss, I wish that doubt was in my heart still

[Bridge: redveil]

But if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know

And if I find you gon' switch for a grip, let me go

Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know

And if I find you gon' switch, if I—

Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know

And if I find you gon' switch for a grip, let me go

Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know

And if I find you gon' switch, if I find

[Chorus: Mekdelawit]

Sit and watch my youth wash away

Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay

Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)

Wish you could've stayed

But I'll make do with the pain, uh

I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh

(Look back, look back, look back, look back)

[Verse 2: redveil]

Looking back, I'm a piece of shit for not picking that phone up

Wish I gave you a chance to see how my ideas grown up

Long time since we spoke like the phone screen Motorola

Long time I evaded, it took a minute to own up

They said fame was a reach, then I'm dislocating my shoulder

Now I'm spilling my thoughts and I'm looking over my shoulder

Niggas say I inspire 'em even though they way older

Everything feel surreal, I never was the appeal

And suddenly I'm defeating the jagged edge of the boulder

And you ain't see the potential blossom that I had just shown you

But that's out of my hands and my legacy, I'm controlling

So when I'm in your position, then I can show 'em a soldier, uh, yeah

So when I'm in your position, then I can show 'em a soldier

Them vibrations is cold, but I know the world even colder

[Chorus: Mekdelawit]

Sit and watch my youth wash away

Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay

Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)

Wish you could've stayed

But I'll make do with the pain, uh

I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh
