Back to You
Grand A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back on my own now, Oh
Left ‘em in pieces, I did it for a reason
Thought I was gone now, No
Here for the people, I got them fiending
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
Busted Discussin
They trusted Justin was rusted
Must've fell-off at the Station that he entrusted
Y'all thought I was bluffin till JB up and did somethin
Be damned if I hung around and get treated like I was nothin
Especially since I had been around this sport before it was torchin
Started out back then, way back creatin dance moves up on porches
Before this shit became a job, we was humble and all enjoyed it
Definitely before y'alls ego and arrogance would destroy it
I had a revelation
Yo, J. I don't think they hear you
Recalculate my future
Minus ones who just don't get it
I got down on my knees
Prayed to the Lord you be forgiven
He helped me keep my cool
Till I began my new beginnin
Now, Now I got my pride back, I'm strapped
Look who got my back, and I'm flattered
This is vengeance, and I'm in this
It's why my name is the chatter
Between you and me, it's the latter
It's why they followed, I'm badder
Me falling off out this game is like sayin y'all even matter
Back on my own now, Oh
Left ‘em in pieces, I did it for a reason
Thought I was gone now, No
Here for the people, I got them fiending
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
Never did you give not one reason to leave a brother out in the cold
When it came to opinions that win, to dismiss and ignore me you chose
You lied about me no reason, clients began to question your roll
Anyone who know me, know I'm goin be honest straight down to my soul
Okay, let that be the reason
Those false allegations got old
You ain't man enough to man up and stand up
Got a hand up your ass, you get told
What to do, what to say, what to wear, how to talk
You so damn passive it shows
Wonder how you keep losin respect
It ain't hard when you ain't in control
Now I'm a Rebel
No need to check alliances
Never had an authority over me and mine
Hence, why you be so flustered, can't hush me or keep me quiet
Cause if they find out what you really done, it would start up a riot
But I got my head on, cain't even see you've been led on
Thinkin I be what I'm not, I'm the man that you shoulda bet on
I see the weakness you let on
I packed my bags and I set on
A mission to bring truth to the light
Till you regret who you have tread on
Back on my own now, Oh
Left ‘em in pieces, I did it for a reason
Thought I was gone now, No
Here for the people, I got them fiending
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you
Yo, Yo You thought you could throw me, leave me all by my lonely
But I'm truly the greatest, you goin' see, taught on all four sides of this country
I put in 26 years in this, know a little something about this business
Plus them connects I got will blow your mind
And it ain't got shit to do with you bein in this
This come easy
Betta ask the last Russ to fuss, just how I thread the needle
Cut from my own cloth, been my own boss, and that's why J.B. Lethal
I got they noses wide open, I tried to tell you people
The Biggest Statement You Can Make Is Never Sell Your Freedom
I'm doin this routinely, when-I-do what-I-do I make the blind see
Flawlessly got he and she and everybody on my schedule weekly
I handled it all discreetly
Lining my ducks in a row
Now I got you hatin
Watchin me pilin my bucks as I go
So I stack 'em to death despite the test, what happens next, no stress
Thanks again for the business, what you can't see you will feel when I flex
Follow the script I've written
Bending Brad's as I'm turning the Page
You conjured me, I'm a beast
Contained in nobody's cage
Back on my own now, Oh
Left ‘em in pieces, I did it for a reason
Thought I was gone now, No
Here for the people, I got them fiending
I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you




I got what you want
Yeah I got you, I got you, I got you

Some of the greatest memories of my life happened in 80s and 90s grand ams. My best friend in hs had an 86 two door, my first girlfriend had a 94 four door, and I had a 96 four door SE. loved that car. Super reliable and cheap to run! Sold it after two years for what I paid for it. LOVED your anti suv rant.

@420banshee7

Wow man I couldn't have said it better I have some of the best memories of my life in those cars. My parents ordered and bought a new one in 88/89 and ordered it with the new quad 4 motor and an automatic transmission and that was the car I took my driving test in later down the road and man did it rip for back then and my friends and I made so many memories growing up in that car so much that later down the road I ended up buying a 91 grand am with a standard and reliably drove the hell outta that car and have so many memories growing up in these cars and my parents eventually upgraded to a loaded out grand prix and it too was a great reliable car infact they had a couple grand prix and seemed to have a lot of water pump issues and we replaced a couple of those which were a complete nightmare to change on them and then they died out and now, I may have been raised only buying GM/Pontiac vehicles and as I got into high school and graduated I got a lot smarter and realized that I was more of a Ford kinda guy and owned many mustangs from Fox bodies on up through to the 2000s and have had pretty much nothing but Ford's since from escorts to 88 f150s on through current f150s and we are on our 3rd explorer now and absolutely love them and their awesome reliability and we just got rid of our last explorer XLT and it had almost 170,000 miles on it and I never not once had to replace anything motor or transmission related at all nothing under the hood what so ever just the basics of living on a dirt road in the country ball joints and tie rod ends and wheel bearings but that's basically the extent of it and now we just got a limited explorer with all the options you could ask for and we absolutely love it as I expected haha but this thing will even parallel park itself even though I've been too sketched out by it to even try it out yet but I love the heated and cooled leather seats and the stereo with subwoofer really jams but my old lady is pretty into the big dual moonroof and the heated seats and steering wheel as we live in NW PA and winters here get pretty cold and the 4 wheel drive systems with the different terrain modes are also a big plus living up north where we get a lot of snow they are truly amazing and great quality vehicles and I'm a big time Ford guy now and won't buy anything else if I had too. But man did this video make my morning and brought back so many memories and even some I had forgotten about until I saw this video and they all came flooding back to me. In fact I just remembered that I still have the 2 factory front seats outta my 91 grand am up in the back part of my dad's garage as I replaced them to a little bit better upgraded seats outta a fiero gt that I got from a junk yard outta a wrecked fiero gt back in the early 90s and now that I remembered I have them I'm gonna have to go dig them out and do something with them for old times sake and to help me keep and remember all those good memories from growing up back in the day in the absolute best times to be a kid growing up in my opinion the 80s and 90s were the absolute best times ever I swear.

@jasetraber

Being a kid in the 80’s, I remember my parents buying mostly GM vehicles, especially Pontiacs. They bought a new Pontiac Firebird in 1985, a new Pontiac Bonneville in 1987, and a new Grand Am in 1989. We also had a new 1984 Chevy Truck, and the toy car was a 1985 Corvette. I guess that is what makes me particularly fond of 1980’s GM vehicles, especially Pontiac.

@jeremyhurd3500

These were the days

@laowhy86

It’s crazy how my knee jerk reaction is to hate this car like I did when I was a kid… but it kind of looks cool now lol

@HelloRoad

Same. I was not a fan of these as a kid!

@mexicanspec

Hate is a pretty strong emotion.

@Wasabi9111

I didn’t know much about this car but I always liked the look, esp the pre refreshed version. Growing up in nyc, i saw mostly Japanese cars, so this car was a rare sighting and I liked the fact it was different.

@peterchen9763

Well C-Milk that's understandable, since your experience with these cars was when they were already 10+ year old beaters. I used to hate 1970s car for the same reason. Last week I saw a minty Ford Pinto for the first time in my life. Suddenly it made sense to me why people bought them and some people still love them. Before that I have never seen one that wasn't a clunker.

@nickgee7291

me too!!
