Rewind
Krizz Kaliko Lyrics

Remember your brother, your father, your cousin, your friend
Think of the loved ones that make life worth living.

Life ain't over now matter fact it just began
Life is full of opportunities and experiences to be had.

I'm on a mission this is just the way it had to be
I have a purpose and I'm following the path I was meant to take.

Can't be mad at me cause I'm tryin ta feed my family
I'm doing what I can to provide for my loved ones, so don't judge me.

When you think of me, picture this sad little boy ya know that's trapped in a grown man (grown man)
Although I'm an adult, I still feel like a child in some ways.

And when you picture me see me in the world full of fans alone and far from his homeland (homeland)
I may be surrounded by people, but at times I still feel isolated and disconnected from my roots and the familiar.

Cryin in reptition, feedin his family, bein the definition of hardcore (hardcore)
I work hard to provide for my family and it can be emotional at times, but I'm determined and resilient.

And tryin to be what you expected out of me, gotta be proud of me, without slavin over an hourly
I have high expectations for myself and want to make people proud, but I won't sacrifice my personal happiness and wellbeing for the sake of a traditional 9 to 5.

I know it's feelin like I vanished in the dark, keep tamperin with what I'm so enamored with in this heart
It may seem like I've disappeared, but I'm still passionate and driven towards my goals.

Gotta come better, be better than the average competitor when I'm impressin the press and etc-etc-et cetera
I strive to always better myself and my craft, especially when in the public eye and being scrutinized.

It's lookin like it's easy but it easily eats at me, people need a piece of me but home is where I need to be
Although it may seem effortless, the pressure and demands from others can weigh me down. At the end of the day, my family and home are my top priorities.

If you're lookin for me and don't see me just leave your loved ones for months and see who still wants to be me
I prioritize my family over everything else, and if that means being away for extended periods of time, then so be it. The people who truly care will understand and support me.

If you wake up and I'm not there Cry for me cause dammit I swear Nothin ever can stand between us but... Tiiiiime......rewind
Even if I'm physically absent, my love and dedication to my loved ones is unwavering and unbreakable.

If I could re-re-re-wind time I would (DE-BEAST ME) have you be-be-be-hind N9ne baby Cause I'm crazy, did dirt to a kind lady At first you were mine maybe that hurt you that lying baby
I made mistakes in the past that hurt those closest to me. If I could go back, I would change what I did and treat people better.

Cause I was gone, in physical gone, in spirit gone, mentally long gone Long enough for a nigga ta get near it Now when you come home some other john is your dearest I put a million on that betchu thinkin of me when he rear it
My absence caused strain in my personal relationships and now someone else holds that special place in their heart. But I know deep down, I'll always be remembered.

That's cool though, rappin shouldn't make you let your boo go Especially when the man is workin to get you dough Back then I was strugglin, baby now it's a new show Instead of a Maybach I guess you prefer a Peugeot
Although I am now successful, I remember the difficulties I faced before and resent that my passion caused me to neglect my relationships. Even though I can now afford lavish things, my loved ones are still my focus and priority.

At night you're callin my name and drive him insane, incredible pain, you got no monetary gain I'm sorry baby that's comin from the heart of the N9ne I know you're thinkin about me at this moment wishin you could just.....rewind
I know my loved ones miss me and the toll it takes on them, even if they don't say it. I apologize and wish they could turn back time and have me by their side again.

Bet chu wish I could just rewind time And just work a 9 to 5, wouldn't of found N9ne Could of just found time to kick it with all who that I've neglected And find my place, a blank face in a office space
Although I'm grateful for my success, sometimes I wonder if it was worth the sacrifice. I miss the people I used to spend time with and sometimes wish I could just blend in with everyone else and have a simple, mundane life.

Cause I can't get it right get it right Everybody ya know is steadily mad at me Cause they be callin me Ringin my phone Wanna know whatsa matter with me when I'm traveling
Despite my best intentions, I still make mistakes and cause frustration in others. My busy schedule and traveling exacerbate the stress and tension between us.

I could just put the whole city behind me Never let anyone find me Drop off the face of the Earth My vacation hurts em the worst Yeah, explain it to my wife why daddy got ta go bye bye Live out his dreams so bye bye
Sometimes I think about running away from it all and disappearing. But the thought of not being there for my family and the guilt it would inflict on them makes it impossible to actually do.

And dry-iy the eye-iy of my son and tell him why Daddy been gone so long, only seein him off n on And tuck him in for me Maybe when I get back and he'll remember me and cry for me The big guy who had me and gladly died for me
I worry about the impact my absence will have on my children and hope they don't forget me. I love them more than anything and would do anything for them.

And while you sitten idly Wonderin what's inside of me Rewind the times when you kicked it right along side of me
Instead of speculating about my motives and feelings, think back to the times when we were together and having a good time.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh (repeat x 6) Rewind Rewind Rewind Rewind Rewind
The idea of turning back time and fixing things is constantly on my mind, but unfortunately impossible to do.

Baby....you're makin me sad Make me feel good-good-good
I feel emotional about the things we've been through, but I'm also grateful for the positive aspects of our relationship.
