Press Rewind Lyrics - Artist : Rittz
I was just a kid from a small town west of Pennsylvania
'88 moved down to GA, overwhelmed by the change I got treated like stranger 'cause I didn't fit in Had a mullet, getting made fun of by the other kids My brother wasn't in the same school to protect me 6th grade, every day they would jump me in the gym Finally got a couple friends I was in and out of phases, into heavy metal for a stint Then I started singing Boyz II Men Playing Poison Clan Really I just wanna be like them So I went and brought a gun In the school to be cool Wasn't real but it looked like one It was chrome but this kid Trovon Took it from me, making dudes take they shoes off When he got caught better say it ain't mine He said he wouldn't tell I was in the office when they rung the bell I had to go to panel and probably get expelled I knew I had to answer to my father I was scared He was known for raising hell Hit me with an open hand or he whipped me with a belt but today was something else Quiet on the ride home when we got into the house I got swung into the shelf Getting swung on, I was 12 tryna Hide my face Ditching uppercuts from my dad's punches making My nose bleed With my sister and her neighbor friend watching, momma Cry, but she Knew it was one of many ass whoopings coming I received Can't hit the back button As the pain rain down The best thing trapped inside Let the pain drain out And left the past behind But sometimes my mind... Press rewind '95 was the best year of my life that's without a question My brother was a senior and I was just a freshman He would let me hang out with his friends and Life felt normal for once But the happiness I had only lasted a second Mom and Dad separated same year, so my brother moved away when we finally had our friendship Made a lot of friends with kids in the same boat No male role models for us to observe and be our guide Dropped out of school, hit a learning curve, relied On each other trying to persevere in life Insecurities are high Feeling unloved, searching for a girl that can provide She wanna take it further, I'm worried that I'm gonna blow my cover 'cause I said I'm not a virgin and I lied I finally fertilized Then she left me for another guy But years flying by, life is like a circus ride We done did the worst, too much dirt to purify Mom was working nights Helicopters circling outside Lot of murders, lot of fights Lot of nights heard the cries from my mom's room Household with no one in control Everything crumbled, I was young but now I'm grown Suddenly my brother and my father coming home And it's So unreal When we're all together you can feel the tension and it's Unfair Started fighting at my brother's college graduation but it Goes unsaid When you love each other ain't no conversation, hated All those years Wishing I could erase them As the pain rain down The best thing trapped inside Let the pain drain out And left the past behind But sometimes my mind...
