Rewind (Outro)

[Hook] I can't take back all the mistakes in my life I can't rewind to all of the good times I've always tried but can never do it right I can't rewind to all of the good times [Verse 1] Lets reminisce over those great days We were all happy in over a thousand different ways When everyone said "Peace", it was our favorite thing to say We could all buy gas without spending what we make in a day Happiness was the definition of gay Politicians weren't worried when people put their hands up to pray It's hard to watch that's why I wanna look away But if I keep my eyes closed for too long then I'll end up in chains Life has speed limits, you don't wanna go too fast Life is a test I'm just trying to pass Aren't we all so focused on trying to get the last laugh That we gotta start a war just to get our gas back Teachers ain't even teaching So much for passing math class Man, when I was growing up it was nothing like that It was safe for children run freely in the streets Without parents carefully watching their backs and strangers were ok to meet Our food wasn't made of chemicals, it was safe to eat It was all easy to afford we didn't have to work for weeks AIDS didn't exist, people could meet and greet I wish those days never ended Government didn't take money out of our pay check before we could even spend it The most important news is always the least-trended [Hook] [Verse 2] I remember holding your hand We promised each other that one day we would run away to the promised land But so much for that, it ain't even worth taken the chance You roll your eyes every time I ask you to dance And now our kids are askin': how come we don't see daddy no more? And you say: cause he just left, just walked out the front door Don't even tell them the truth That's why I uncontrollably stay mad at you Told me to man up or leave but I couldn't choose So now I'm forced to live out the rest of my life here without you But that's ironic cause every time I try to tell you the truth You burst out laughing and call it an excuse I can't take back all the things that I said And you can't get rid of all the bullshit left in your head I know I was wrong for doing what I did All the mistakes that I've made makes it harder for me to live In order to show you that I still care even after all of that shit that we did when we were kids Growin' up didn't know any better and got you pregnant and wasn't even outta high school yet My aunt knew it would happen and she shook her head Cause I didn't have a father figure to look up to and dream of whenever I went to bed But later I straightened up and I passed all of my tests Guess my grandmother was right when she said I would become one of the best [Hook] [Verse 3] Damn, my life is going by so fast I wonder how much longer it will truly last I wish I had a time machine so I could return to the past Ready to revoke my mistakes without looking like an ass But alas, it's nowhere near as simple as it sounds Gotta keep your head held high and your feet on the ground With your chin up and your fists up Ready to fight what comes your way I want to return to the time where we were safe Nine eleven, thousands in heaven plus a war all in one day And now our children have even more trouble in their way We couldve fixed our problems easily And left our next generation less trouble to face But look at what we've done, look how far we've come We left'em with more enemies and less room to run So before I pass out and this night is over Make sure a gun is in my hands, after I'm sober Cause... [Hook] [Outro] Ohh I wanna I wanna return I wanna I wanna return Ohh I wanna I wanna return I wanna, yeah I wanna return
