Can’t Look Backwards Lyrics by Kevin Gates

I wanted to marry baby then evacuate safely
Everything at the time wasn’t right
Decided to follow my advice
We in the prime of our life
Taking them road trips on the road
Close circle, small circle, going in still
Playing offense with them bricks, hit back, call sense
In the blitz, 30 band ball cap
All the shit, a lot of niggas talk that till it’s real
You was my nigga, hand over fist
Best friends ended up getting killed
Intelligence overrides ill intent
Now I got a fallback disappear
How do you tell a woman that’ll die for you
You in love with somebody else

Got married to her, kept it silent with her, she was there for me when I fell
I was dyin’ inside, dealin’ with depression, realin’ line to myself
Independent grind for myself
I’m a breadwinner to the death
I got a graveyard by the belt
I got some teardrops with the red
I run with OG, boobie black
Pull up and ask him when you by yourself
Broad day, Mac 11 with the left, on the blacktop learnin’ how to step
Lost a lot of fights in juvenile cells, still undefeated in the dog jail
Up in rank, plug with the cartel
I done put a lot of niggas on the shelf
I done put a lot of niggas on the shelf
I done put a lot of niggas in the building, takin’ care of a lot of niggas in the system
Takin’ care of they family members and they children
My heart so big, my scars on here
I get sick and tired of even tryin’ to fix it
Take over the world, I been on a mission
On the floor, sit on the corner floor
I’m a young nigga with a vision
I got a swag different called the memory
Steal it, then go and tackle it when you get it
Big leader, and I been showin’ progression
I’m one of the chosen, I’m no one special
At first I was losin’ control, now everything I touched, turnin’ to gold
God love me, even when I was broke, sellin’ dope, had to stand on the stove
Life a journey, I was carving away
Caught a coffin, oh you caught you a case
Approach with caution, I get caught with a case
I’m up in carbon, the carbon in pain
Ain’t my fault if you ain’t caught with what I’m saying
Real calm in the car with them bands

Eight of Chinese secrets, sworn to secrecy
I’m in that underworld, moving discreetly
Moves in secret, devil I’m from another world
In carpool I got left lane status, career been going so fast
Focus, pay attention to what’s up ahead

And I can’t look backwards
I’m in love with her, still wishing she was here
But I can’t look backwards
I mean, Lord would’ve still wished she was here
But I can’t look backwards
I can’t look backwards
But I can’t look backwards
Lord would’ve still wished she was here
But I can’t look backwards

Keep listening
