Way Back / Letter to Self Lyrics

Yo, yo, yo microphone check

Yeah way back

Yeah way back

Way back used to feel different

Way back way back living the conditions

Felt normal at the time we was just living

Way back way back we was just wishing

Sometimes it's hard to figure what to write

But then I remember that it won't happen overnight

As part of reality it's tough to keep in mind

As part of the search we look to understand our time

Filled with hunger often mistaken for overconfidence

Keep in mind there's limited space upon a monument

Double edged statement centered around greatness

Positive to actively pursue your aspirations

But steer clear of things that cause you to end up chasing

You needed people to call upon the line was vacant

Don't use this as an excuse to use hatred

Or get wasted listen to your gut and stay patient

It's alright to stumble and slip up on occasion

Be your own book create chapters for your pages

Since birth you had no idea what you'll be facing

I know that you can handle it and soon I shall be waiting

Way back used to feel different

Way back way back living the conditions

Felt normal at the time we was just living

Way back way back we was just wishing

Way back used to feel different

Way back way back living the conditions

Felt normal at the time we was just living

Way back way back we was just wishing

The signs telling me you came this far for a reason

It ain't how it used to be it don't mean you leaving

I know you want to turn back but trust me keep believing

You sorry for the ones you let go but keep achieving

But then you start to grow and understand the deeper meaning

Feel like the trials and tribulations was put on to you

You got to face it or leave it your time to pick and choose

We all got different versions of the trial it's work to do

You can't escape what's greater than the mind can even fathom

It's just the way that everything goes repeat the pattern

You came from needing understanding life was filled with sadness

But you stood up and chose to color in where paint was lacking

And people thought you were insane to just imagine

The bigger picture a mirror to help where they was lacking

You saw what only you could see was nothing you could do

You healing from survivor's guilt soon you'll be comfortable

Way back used to feel different

Way back way back living the conditions

Felt normal at the time we was just living

Way back way back we was just wishing

Way back used to feel different

Way back way back living the conditions

Felt normal at the time we was just living

Way back way back we was just wishing
