lirik lagu justin freeman – blackwards
[verse 1]
a kid can only see black as his back’s attached to the street
he reverses from his collapse and gets sn-tched back to his feet
his eyes open, the blood in the air was splat on the street
make their way back into his skin with the bullet latched underneath
the bullet begins to exit, his muscles get reconnected
the bullet comes out his chest and the skin goes back to perfection
the bullet makes its way back to its home inside of the weapon
and goes back to the state it was in before its ejection
you hear a bang, and then you hear the kid ask why
there’s tears going up his face and going back in his eyes
they drastically dry, the man with the gun says, “stop
just shut up. you speak another one and you’re getting popped
i don’t need a sermon from you and eff having a friend
and you heard me the first time, don’t make me ask you again”
that was after the kid had told him, “you don’t have to depend
on violence to get what you want, bro, we can actually win”
the kid lowers his arms and turns towards his lap with the rim
his drink and chips fly from the ground and go back to his hands
away from the thief, he freezes, afraid to react
gun aimed at his back and then the perpetrator in black
tells the kid to empty his pockets and puts his gun to his side
walk backwards back to that ride that he left there and pumped nine
pretends that he’s pumping gas but it’s all a form of disguise
as he looks away from the guy as he walks backwards inside
of the gas station that he was just in before he had died
and now the kid can see the man pumping gas but don’t pay him mind
he tells the cashier goodbye, gives back the snacks and the change
and gets back the ten dollar bill that he had before the exchange
picks up the arizona and cheetos and puts them back
arizona into the fridge and the cheetos there on the rack
the cashier then replies by telling the boy, “hi”
then the boy is telling him, “hi” while making his way outside
walks back to that cadillac from 2009 with the rims on it
not knowing that person that pumped nine
has thoughts of drawing his weapon and catching him by surprise
’cause a car of that make and model ain’t easy to come by
then the kid starts up his car and he leaves instead of arrives
thinking about how hungry he is the entire time
the kid drives in reverse, no food places on either side
and thinks, “i’ll just go to beep beep, it’ll be fine”
ten minutes of driving fast in reverse on the back road
he punches the b-ttons into his gate, now he’s back home
he gets out the car, and then you hear him yell, “okay”
it’s his mom at the front door and then she yells, “be safe”
walks past the flowers and fountain and back to where momma’s waiting
goes inside of the house to the end of a conversation
he’s shaking his head yes to show that he knows what she’s saying
she says, “son, it is a crazy world, no misbehaving”
and “son, you have a very good heart, that gift is the greatest
and people aren’t really bad, they’re just lost, it’s really amazing how
the right words can make anybody worthy of changing”
then the mom goes right back in the kitchen where she was making
some healthy cr-p he ain’t want, the kid replies with excitement
saying, “man there’s a party tonight and we got invited”
then mom says, “you look nice but hold up, where are you going?”
then she turns her head back to the point before she had noticed
once upon a time
[verse 2]
yo, yo
now back to the gas station
the man that’s standing there and he’s fake-pumping his gas
put the nozzle back in its place and then tightly puts on the cap
gets in the car and looks away from every car that p-ssed
he’s hoping that he can find a target to rob for cash
he starts the car, drives in reverse back to the block
and the whole entire time, he’s just thinking of where to stop
and he thinks, “well there’s a station and i can wait in the lot
and it’s about ten minutes away from the people who carry guap
okay, that’s the plan” then he looks out for the cops
as he backs in his neighborhood where there’s kids throwing their rocks
rocks fly back in their hands but this time the man doesn’t watch
he turns away from the kids and keeps driving back and he stops
in the cul-de-sac where his bro is at and everybody talks
he gets out the car and he smiles and up to his brother he walks
he takes the gun from his pants, puts it in his brother’s hands
shakes his head up and down to show that he understands
and his brother opens his mouth and says, “this will make you a man
in this world you gotta get to these things any way you can
so make sure you protect yourself and make it happen regardless
get to the bag, if they’re not your family they’re a target”
he says, “listen up,” the man says, “what’s up bro
you called?” as he walked backwards through all that high gr-ss in the yard
walks past the dudes on the porch smoking weed and playing their cards
goes inside of the house and then walks back in the hall
walks inside of his room, he locks and closes the door
quickly takes off his shoes and then drops his jeans to the floor
he rushes to lay down but before he places his head
he’s listening to his bro, trying to hear all the words he says
his brother yells from the window saying, “yo, come to the yard”
puts his head on the pillow, then comes a reverse yawn
then he closes his eyes and everything turns black
and now you guys know both sides of the story, imagine that
once upon a time
