I Wanna Go Back Lyrics

Cause I remember way back when 
Got kicked out the crib and had a place to stay in the Clem 
With some friends George and Jay 
It was a funky fresh crew and I'd DJ 
What a shock it was to be on the steps 
Comin from a nice home now livin in the projects 
No regrets cause I learned alot 
And I earned alot in the parking lot 
Doin dirt for the O.Gs slangin rock 
They used to call me that little white kid 
Who could rock on the two turntables 
And that aint no fable 
Watchin' Eddie Murphy instead of Clark Gable 
My whole life style switched Hoss 
Puttin in hours at the 76 car wash 
But I could never wait for them weekends to come 
Dum ditty dum ditty ditty dum dum 
Boom, chick boom, the bass went 
On turntables fuckin it up in Duke's basement 
Groove time productions, we kept the jam jumpin 
Open up your ears Im tryin to tell you somethin 
And give some love back to those who loved me 
206 Court street and my second mom Tracy 
Little Keesha and Cole 
My mellow blow, and my homegirl Flo 
Rock round see, you could find me some 
But I kept my tables in the crib when I wasnt in the club 
Tom Rich and Mike Shafer used to give me rides 
And buy me groceries when I didn't have no paper 
And Im grateful for this 
Sometimes I look back and it's these times I miss 
Making demos on my old four track 

Sometimes I cant help but think, I Wanna Go Back I Wanna Go Back (x2) 

Got kicked out again for bein fly 
Got invited to stay with Tony and Eli 
An' they treated me like brothers 
R-I-P to their cool ass mother 
An my brother din dada 
For the homies up here I still gotta lot of love 
I wanna go back, way back 
To change things and bring y'all back 
Im pourin beer out for y'all 
Im singin I saw the light from my cousin Paul 
Life brings alot of tragedy 
I look around at times and its so sad to see 
A wasted life, or a broken home 
But all I can do is take care of my own 
I feel so alone like a stranger 
But sometimes I express my love through my anger 
And I lost alot of friends for this 
Blackman, T-Bone, Ernest KDC, and Chris 
And the rest of the Beast crew 
I aint sayin that Im awe, but I still got love for you 
Cause I remember how it used to be 
Make way motherfuckers beast crew's in the party 
To the right and to the left 
Many black men and Funk Daddy Def Stef 
Cause sometimes I feel blessed for sure 
To a been a part of one of raps last great tours 
Ice Cube, Too Short, D-Nice, yo yo 
Kid Rock and it dont stop 

I Wanna Go Back (x3) 

I remember litte Robert, cause I stayed with him 
I used ta go and see Campbell, when I need a trim 
And when times got grim and I lost my way, 
I used to get blown of with Reve 
Bumpin' shoulders and slappin' hands 
Willie Knight had a disco, right in his basement man 
Them New Haven jams 
Me and Blackman running crazy scams, 
Not a black or white thing, a wrong or right thing 
Just makin' that money, and pullin them honies 
Spandex shorts and the halter tops 
Slanging them rocks, runnin' from the cops 
The only white kid walkin' round on the block, 
Cruisin' in Amp's low ridin' ragtop 
Go see Howard for what ya need 
Underage buyin' forties and bags of weed 
Late night liquor from Bubba Coles 
People used to say, Rock you got soul 
Had a studio budget from the cocaine loot 
Chuck D and Murph were the original three 
Now Richard D and Cracker are down with me 
I got a studio record and a taste of fame 
But when I roll throught the Clem it's all the same 
Even though things change, you know I ain't forgot 
Cause the love from the past gave birth to Kid Rock 
But it's hard to go back to the things I knew 
Cause ta me life a have now lives for two 

Yeah, and that's where I'm at 
I wanna go back (x3) 

Let it ride, let it ride 
way back, uh-huh
