# “CAN’T GO BACK”
**[Intro]**
Yeah
Ayy
Look—
I remember when they ain't answer that phone
Now everybody calling
Funny how that work
**[Hook]**
I can't go back broke, already been there
Can't go back trusting everybody, been scared
Whole lotta weight on my shoulders, still here
Made it through the smoke, now my vision real clear
I can't go back, nah, I came too far
Used to watch the nice whips, now I'm picking my car
Used to tell 'em my plans, they ain't think I'd get far
Now the same ones watching wanna know who we are
**[Verse 1]**
I ain't beefing over women, I'm too busy getting paid
If she bring me drama, I'ma send her on her way
Had to cut some people off, they was standing in the way
Funny how they call you lucky after years of being late
I remember counting change, trying to stretch it through the week
Now I'm talking ownership whenever business people speak
I don't care about applause, put the paperwork in reach
'Cause looking like you got it ain't the same as being free
They'll dap you with the right and try to snake you with the left
So I learned to move in silence, keep some business to myself
Every scar became a lesson, every loss became a step
I ain't competing with another man, competing with myself
**[Hook]**
I can't go back broke, already been there
Can't go back trusting everybody, been scared
Whole lotta weight on my shoulders, still here
Made it through the smoke, now my vision real clear
I can't go back, nah, I came too far
Used to watch the nice whips, now I'm picking my car
Used to tell 'em my plans, they ain't think I'd get far
Now the same ones watching wanna know who we are
**[Verse 2]**
I need land, I need buildings, I need something with my name
I need everybody with me eating off the plays
Don't confuse being humble with me scared to make a change
I done walked through too much fire just to stay inside the same
Had some people switch sides, I ain't even get mad
Sometimes losing certain people is the best thing you can have
Now I'm focused on tomorrow, I ain't arguing 'bout the past
When you finally know your worth, you'll stop giving out a pass
Phone jumping, plays coming, still calm
Same dude whether twenty or a hundred in my palm
I don't need to prove I'm tough, I got bigger things going on
Trying to make the family wealthy long after I'm gone
**[Breakdown]**
No going backwards
No begging for seats
No chasing approval
No working for free
Build it
Protect it
Put the team in position
They was chasing attention
I was chasing the mission
**[Final Hook]**
I can't go back broke, already been there
Can't go back trusting everybody, been scared
Whole lotta weight on my shoulders, still here
Made it through the smoke, now my vision real clear
I can't go back, nah, I came too far
Every bruise, every loss put some fuel in my heart
If they ask me what changed, tell 'em nothing but the bar
I was built for the pressure—now we raising the bar
**[Outro]**
Can't go back
Nah
Too much behind me
Too much ahead
Keep going.
