Another Time
Nxworries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who threw up a prayer and hit the mark?
Of course it's out the way, get in the car
Of course you have to pay to play at all
But who do you think that I look up to?
Who you think I got my game from?
Ooh, I bet you thought it was you
Yeah, who brings out the bands and hits the mall?
Who takes all the chances, win or loss?
You came a long way from the A-town
Numbers still the same, but you don't answer too many calls
Now baby, who put all the plastic in your bottom?
Who spilled all the powder on the floor?
Get out the seat, you're too big for the two-door
Sometimes you have to walk before you soar
But who you think that I look up to?
Who you think I got my game from?
Ooh, I bet you thought it was you
Who you think I got the game from?
(Yeah)
Word to my O.G.
The game that he taught me we'll always suffice
It's the reason that I'm still alive
Great grandaddy, grandpa, my father and now it's my season to shine
It's bigger than you, it's bigger than I
From the start was the words, solid rock that I stand upon
Yeah, only as strong as the base that you're building on
All this to gain if you can't stake your claim in this great, big world
It's nobody's fault but yours
But who do you think that I look up to? (Whoa)
Who do you think I got my game from? (Yeah)
Ooh, I bet you thought it was you
Who do you think I got the game from?
Yeah
Ayo, we got a problem
They're back
Ayo, we got a problem
They're back
Yeah, them cats is back, yo
On the real, what you gonna do?
Yeah

My respects to my elder

Big grandaddy, grandpa for my father and now it's my season to shine

It's bigger than you, it's bigger than I
It's more significant than any one of us
From the start was the words, I look at the rocks where I stand
It all began with the language, and I'm reminded of my origins when I observe the stones under my feet
Yeah, only as strong as the base that you're building on
Your foundation determines your strength
All this today if you can't stake your claim in this great big world
All this means nothing if you can't assert yourself in this vast universe
It's nobodies fault but yours
It's no one's responsibility but yours
But who do you think I look up to
Who do you believe is my role model
Who do you think I got my game from
Who do you think taught me how to succeed
Ooh, I bet you thought it was you
Oh, I bet you assumed it was you
