Rewind
Soul T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down
Get to looking crooked but it turns around
I pray that you, I pray that you wake up now
If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down, now
When I see my, when I see my past I frown
But I don't wanna rewind, I don't wanna rewind
I was thinking back on my old days, old ways
How I used to kick it I was so cray, so ashamed
Hide my insecurity from your gaze
Smiling while I knew I wasn't ok, mmmm
Back a little deeper, the bro was so lethal
I don't know what happened, man the passion was so deceitful
I was mad cappin', they was laughing behind my back
That was natural reaction to the fact I was not a needle
That is to say I ain't on point
And plus the boy was too wide eyed
Now my flow now anointed by all the blood, sweat and tears I cried
I often wanted forgiveness for the life I was living,
Still I was gifted with lyrics
I knew my limits was missing, you get it?
If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down
Get to looking crooked but it turns around
I pray that you, I pray that you wake up now
If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down, now
When I see my, when I see my past I frown
But I don't wanna rewind, I don't wanna rewind
You know sometimes life makes you wanna rewind
Wishing that I never made yesterday
All the memories I tend to put behind
Yeah it's crazy, but you know that
I don't wanna rewind
Yeah you know life makes you wanna rewind
But you know that I don't wanna rewind
Aye, yuh, don't wanna rewind
Yuh, you see they say life's what you make it
You know that's why I'm here
All those obstacles I overcame down through the years
From the booze to the dope to all those temptations
So lost in the sauce made me feel like I was faking
But I left it all to Him, that's why I'm a threat
Yeah you reap what you sow
I forgive, don't forget
Yeah this man found my essence and
Went and made it stainless
SoulGang forever, you know that's a statement
If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down
Get to looking crooked but it turns around
I pray that you, I pray that you wake up now
If only back then I knew what I know now
Accelerate up even when I move down, now




When I see my, when I see my past I frown
But I don't wanna rewind, I don't wanna...
