I.O.U. - Back In Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Check…
Alright…
There's so much I could…
So much I could say…
97' 98'
Little stuff..

[Verse 1: Buck]
I’d sit me down in a chair
Like two feet away from me and look deep into my eyes
(Wow man I can't believe it man)
Just to look at innocence I’m still living in
And get to see the two parents that im still living with
Take a moment and be greatful to revisit this
Because the me of today don’t ever reminisce
(Like ever .. that’s not why im here .. listen man)
I want to tell you this world will forever rotate
We evolve as it revolves there’s reasons we relocate
School ain't in the cards till later on youll be like, "No way!"
And develop a habit listening to Kush & OJ
Females they're gonna push you to bad decisions
You'll question your religion it’s the structure that was given okay
(Stay confident)
Man, I'm rambling
But there is something I do need to let you know
Its that you can't begin till everything inside you finally decides you need to let it go
And take nothing to heart 'less for a laugh or two
And make sure you or what I have to do is
Take my own advice your only life its only fair
And please don’t lose your Jordans dog they’re your only pair
I swear

[Chorus]
If you had the chance to go back in time
And tell yourself one thing
What would it be?
Would you change how you look?
Or how you would act?
Or the people you meet?
What if its supposed to be
Then what would it be?

[Verse 2: Izee]
(Yo Iz let me talk to you real quick)
Yo cherish your childhood
Cuz one day you gonna want it back
And set the bar higher
I promise you won't live under that
Nah we still haven’t invented the hover craft
But someday you'll fly but you gotta keep that all under wraps
Cuz you gonna meet some people wit evil that’s hard to find
And all they wanna do is just rip out this heart of mine
But you can't let it happen
You ain't gonna let it happen
I know this might sound crazy right now but just keep rappin
And tell your uncle Neil you love him before its too late
And you can cry when he dies homie its okay
Cuz I know your fears is heavy as every tear
But think about it see when you cry you just losing weight
But don’t do it too much man luckily your not a punk
And stop worrying cuz when you stress you chew a lot of gum
And girls, yeahhh theres a lot of them
I know they have cooties now but soon they’ll be a lot of fun

[Chorus]
If you had the chance to go back in time
And tell yourself one thing
What would it be?
Would you change how you look?
Or how you would act?
Or the people you meet?
What if it’s supposed to be.. Then what would it be?

[Chorus]
