LYRICS:
back to square uno
i’m still tryn feed my daughter off this juno
ion know when ima meet her i can’t be indebted
so i interpolate some jazz for the blue notes
nigga i got one question
is you coming or not?
is this expression or i’m coming to rot?
let me know before i put my whole soul in the pot
hope i can trust you
showed my face at sixteen n had the world in my damn hands
what an adrenaline rush
i came for the grand slam
moments of hope was just peaking out of them samples
made them feel it how i felt i had every answer
had some waveforms of sun peaking into a mansion
graduated early baby they can’t hold me for ransom
went to north carolina spent 3 months on that campus
still got my aggie pride but left to find some advances
i blinked and i was sober again
seeing the world in the middle of october again
the shit i had up in my hand wasn’t nun but a morsel
i stop listening when niggas tell me that was a win
i learned restlessness from my mama i get it honest
that magic fleeting as ever my amnesia chronic
im starving my stomach been twisting turning and sitting hollow
he pack his pockets w his future i’ll swipe it off him
back to square uno
i’m still tryn feed my daughter off this juno
ion know when ima meet her i can’t be indebted
so i interpolate some jazz for the blue notes
nigga i got one question
is you coming or not?
is this expression or i’m coming to rot?
let me know before i put my whole soul in the pot
hope i can trust you
the gramophone sitting by my fireplace is gold
i got it for the record that they belt at all the shows
my son think it’s perfect n his age mates agree
but i feel like i got a million more tries to go
ran around the world more times than i could count
and had the check clear more times than i could pout
then came home to clumps of wool sitting on the floor
cus the teeth of my self doubt sunk right in the couch
ever since the womb saw them fangs growing out
never left that first square
i got greys growing out
they all in the open for my little boy to see
i cannot decide if i want him to mirror me
the good news is i don’t gotta make a choice
cus he gon do it anyways despite what i could voice
i wish him good luck when he travel down the path
and if he find the balance then we both gon rejoice
