"Back In The Wick" lyrics
"Back In The Wick"
Beat, tonight
Yeah
Yeah
Uh
Like, how you gon' live as a Christian? (Christian)
Like, how you gon' live out the mission? (Mission)
Like, how you gon' roll through the city
And pray for the homeless but not for the wicked? (Yeah)
Used to sit in the pew as a critic (Yeah)
I would look up like, "Y'all too religious" (Too religious)
I'm like, "This is for me," I admit it (I admit it)
I said, "This is for me," I admit
Uh-huh
Had some brothers who was smokin' that dank (Dank)
I can't judge 'em, I know that I can't (I can't)
'Cause I looked at my momma with hate (Yeah)
I made all my music for me and promoted it
So I could blow up one day (One day)
And God told me, "Throw it away" (Away)
Like Pippen was passin' to J
Went to college, He changed my life (Yeah)
Twenty-two and I'm livin' for Christ (For real)
And I'm 'bout to marry my wife (For real)
And I ain't gon' marry her twice (No cap)
I ain't rappin' to put on the ice (Ice)
Talked to PB, we rollin' the dice (Dice)
Devil all on my head like lice (Like lice)
But I gave him a heavenly swipe (Yes sir)
I don't need my name in lights (No sir)
I'm just ridin' through the city in a Focus (In a Focus)
No cap, I was goin' through the motions (Uh-huh)
Yeah, the Devil sayin', "Do something bogus" (Uh-huh), I can't do that
I used to lust onto women
Until I found out where the truth at (Truth at)
Whenever you look at my life, you should see that it's right
You should see where the fruit at (Where the fruit at)
There's only One to look at
I was in middle school packin' my bookbag
This is my story, don't ask where my book at (Book at)
I was just tryna to fit in with the cool cats (Yeah)
I got my brothers, we roll through the city
It felt like my music had two fans (What?)
Back in the Wick, they was all tryna hit
Had a chip on they shoulder like cool ranch, yeah (Pow, pow, pow)
I cannot give in, I'ma be who I'm made (Made)
Yeah, the industry want you to change (For real)
Can't sell my heart to the game (No sir)
I got loyalty deep in my veins (Yes sir)
I been, uh
Thinkin' 'bout life right now, I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
God's so great you can always say, "Thank you" (Yes sir)
I was on the quest tryna break folks' ankles
Cut from the team, lookin' back, I'm grateful
I was so anxious, uh
My heart would just beat, no patience (No patience)
Until my mind started changing (Changing, yeah, yeah)
I remember when my momma was fired
I remember when my daddy was fired (Yeah)
I remember movin' so many times (Yeah)
God always kept the family alive (For real)
I tried to live with the weight on my back (Back)
Had too much on me, I cracked (Cracked)
I ain't tryna go back, I ain't tryna go back
I'll admit that, yeah
Like, how you gon' live as a Christian?
Like, how you gon' live out the mission? (The mission)
Like, how you gon' roll through the city
And pray for the homeless but not for the wicked? (No)
Used to sit in the pew as a critic (You know?)
I would look up like, "Y'all too religious" (For real)
I'm like, "This is for me," I admit it
I said, "This is for me," I admit (I admit)
Uh-huh
