Artist: Rittz Album: Last Call Song: Press Rewind Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Rittz] Ya-uh-yeah... I was just a kid from a small town west of Pennsylvania '88 moved down to G-A Overwhelmed by the change, I got treated like stranger Cause I ain't fit in Had a mullet gettin made fun of by the other kids My brother wasn't in the same school to protect me 6th grade every day they would jump me in the gym Finally got a couple friends I was in and out of phases, into heavy metal for a stint Then I started singin Boyz II Men Playin Poison Clan, really I just wanna be like them So I went and brought a gun, in the school to be cool Wasn't real but it looked like one It was chrome but this kid Trovon took it from me Makin dudes take they shoes off, when he got caught better say it ain't mine, he said he wouldn't tell I was in the office when they rung the bell I had to go to panel and probably get expelled I knew I had to answer to my father, I was scared He was known for raising hell Hit me with an open hand or he whipped me with a belt but today was somethin else Quiet on the ride home when we got into the house I got swung into the shelf, gettin swung on, I was 12 Tryna, hide, my, face Ditchin uppercuts from my dad's punches Makin, my, nose, bleed With my sister and her neighbor friend watchin Momma, cry, but, she knew it was one of many ass whoopings comin I, re-ceived Can't hit the back button [Chorus: Rittz - singing] As the pain rain down... Best thing trapped inside... Let the pain drain out... Left the past behind... But sometimes my mind, press rewind... [Rittz] '95 was the best year of my life, that's without a question My brother was a senior and I was just a freshman He would let me hang out with his friends and life felt normal for once But the happiness I had only lasted a second Mom and Dad separated same year so my brother moved away when we finally had our friendship Made a lot of friends with kids in the same boat No male role models for us to observe and be our guide Dropped out of school, hit a learnin curve, relied on each other tryna persevere in life Insecurities are high Feelin unloved searchin for a girl that can provide She wanna take it further, I'm worried that I'ma blow my cover cause I said I'm not a virgin and I lied I finally fertilized, then she left me for another guy But years flyin by, life is like a circus ride We done did the worst, too much dirt to purify Mom was workin nights, helicopters circlin outside Lot of murders, lot of fights, lot of nights, heard the cries from my mom's room, household with no one in control Everything crumbled, I was young but now I'm grown Suddenly my brother and my father comin home And it's, so, un-real When we're all together you could feel the tension And it's, un-fair Started fightin at my brother's college graduation But it, goes, un-said When you love each other ain't no conversation Hated, all, those, years Wishin I could erase 'em [Chorus]
