Why I hesitate to write this?
Why I only pray to God when
My life caught up in a crisis?
Why am I always on the come up?
Why I got no time to come down?
Why I ever sit and complain
When it's me who run the show now?
And we don't get to pick our stories
And I know mine found some mess
But I've grown to pick up the pieces
And it's all to find happiness
So take away all my ego, take away all my pride
Take away all my hiding places ain't no one can find
Take away all these voices running through my head
Mama told me don't get caught up in their thread
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Surrounded by a bunch of people going all out
So how I ever feel like I'm alone right now?
Been through the ringer like a hotline
That's why everything that I be thinking getting told right now
Fuck all the gimmicks, do you love me when I'm struggling?
Do you love me when the lights get low? Hey
Fuck all the hype, do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Even when the new hype get old
And my life ain't nothing like they life is
My sound ain't make sacrifices
I hold that there like a vice grip
Don't fight it, don't fight it
And we don't get to pick our stories
And I know mine found some mess
But I've grown to pick up the pieces
And it's all to find happiness
So take away all my ego, take away all my pride
Take away all my hiding places ain't no one can find
Take away all these voices running through my head
Mama told me don't get caught up in their thread
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And get back to you now (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Today was never promised
And love ain't been a given
But if your life is here upon us
Just know that shit was made for living
Go get it, go get it
Today was never promised (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
And love ain't been a given (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
But if you're life is here upon us (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Just know that shit was made for living
Go get it, go get it (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
Go (yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
The lyrics of SonReal's song Back To You center around the existential questions that arise in the mind of the singer. He wonders why he cares about other people's opinions, why he procrastinates, and why he finds himself praying only in moments of crisis. Yet all of these ponderings lead him to the realization that he is in control of his own life and responsible for its outcome. He acknowledges that everyone has their own story, and while his may have had some messy moments, he has learned to pick up the pieces and is committed to finding happiness. The lyrics are a reminder to stay focused, to let go of one's ego and pride, and to find peace by shedding the voices that can get in the way of self-fulfillment.

Remove all my ego, pride, and escapes, so that I can focus on myself and don't get caught up in other people's expectations or criticisms.
Surrounded by a bunch of people going all out
So how I ever feel like I'm alone right now?
Been through the ringer like a hotline
That's why everything that I be thinking getting told right now
Even when there are many people around, why do I still feel lonely? My life has been like a hotline, full of difficulties, so everything I think about comes out raw.
Fuck all the gimmicks, do you love me when I'm struggling?
Do you love me when the lights get low? Hey
Fuck all the hype, do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Even when the new hype get old
And my life ain't nothing like they life is
My sound ain't make sacrifices
I hold that there like a vice grip
Don't fight it, don't fight it
I don't want fake love, I want to know if people love me for who I am even when I am struggling or when things get tough. I don't care about getting popular or hype, but I want people to hear me and understand me. Their lives are different from mine, and I am not willing to make sacrifices that conflict with my own values, which I hold onto tightly.
Today was never promised
And love ain't been a given
But if your life is here upon us
Just know that shit was made for living
Go get it, go get it
We never know what tomorrow brings, and love isn't guaranteed, but if we are alive today, we should know that life was meant to be lived. So, let's go for it and pursue our goals.
