Flashbacks - Live

[Intro : Deante' Hitchcock]
Gon' slow this motherfucker down right quick
If you feeling good in here let me hear you say hell yeah
I said, If you feeling good in here let me hear you say hell yeah
(Hell yeah)
That's what the fuck I'm talking about
Everybody put them hands up in the sky
Left, Right, Left, Right
Okay Ohh, Okay Look

[Verse 1 : Deante' Hitchcock]
Flashbacks to that laundromat with my momma
I was young and wildin' out, unaware of incoming karma
They say the first child should pay for the sins of the father
So I bought 'em out tomorrow and said "fuck it"
Look, okay
Tell Nick I'm sorry, I had to do what I couldn't take
If I don't kill 'em, I'm sorry shawty, we ain't gon' make it
See I done seen my lowest lows, I mean low as the basement
Tryna reflect without usin' a mirror 'cause I'm too scared to face it
What am I chasin' and will it fulfill me once I catch it?
I need some straightforward answers 'cause I been livin' backwards
Can't feel the pastor when he talk about upcomin' rapture
Preachin' money's the root of all evil and ask for money after
See comin' up we ain't have it to give but we still gave it
The church was makin' a killin' off, of our lil' savings
"Son you can't put a price on faith", that's how my momma phrased it
But momma if this house of the Lord, so how can we not appraise it?
Say I was young and confused, with nothin' to lose
Better to be human than God, word to Langston Hughes
Ironic when your brain start to spark, they try and defuse
But my nigga the only choice that we have in life is to choose, so I'm choosin'
I got a homegirl convinced that everything we see is tricks and this life is just an illusion
Some days I entertain it, I know that thinkin' is dangerous
Just be feelin' like it's so much more, hard to explain it
But I do believe in God and it's odd but I know that even when I'm strayin' far away from my path
There's a reason there you have it
Word to my boy from TDE, that I met in them sessions
This is the Revenge of the Dreamer
I seen a rose grow from out of that concrete, yeah right there, up my block
Right on the corner where DeVonte got shot
And then it hit me
One day eventually things'll change and maybe somethin' beautiful can rise and thrive from all that pain, so RIP

[Verse 2: Miguel, St. Beauty]
I'm sure as a sigil
That I believe (And we got Miguel on the debut album, that shit crazy)
It's hard to believe in anything
With all that I've been through
All that I've seen
Can't just believe in anything
(And St. Beauty on this motherfucker, talk to 'em Alexe)
Much to my surprise
I'm old enough to know
I can't do anything on my own
So, I believe in God
I've cried enough to know
I'm trying every day to hold on (Hold on)

[Bridge: Miguel, Deante Hitchcock & Both]
No one
Ever gonna do it for you (Quite like)
(If you feeling good let me hear you make some noise, I just realised that I can't hear shit with these in ears in, My bad)
Quite like you
(Quite like) Quite like you
No one
(Drop some comments, if you feeling good about the show right now man, shout out to the band ya'll make some noise for the band too)
Ever gonna do it for you (Quite like)
Quite like you
(Quite like) Quite like you
That's why it's hard to put my faith in anyone else
So I don't put my faith in nobody else
Though I know that we all need some help
Me too

[Bridge : Deante' Hitchcock]
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Brr
Brr
Put them hands back up high in the sky
Everybody at the crib sitting on your couch, I was 'bout to say listening from your room
Let me hear you sing this shit loud as you can
Okay

[Outro: Deante' Hitchcock]
I know I ain't been all that you expect from me (Ayy)
Still talkin' to God
I been so lost, so low, I need you desperately
Still talkin' to God
I swear, I heard them say the truth will set you free
Still talkin' to God
If there's one thing I learned, I can't be nothin' else but me
Still talkin' to God

Shit sound good as fuck
Oh my God, Oh yeah
I think it's time for the throwbacks, Oh my God
Aight so look, we in here we having a good time yet again
I gotta say thank you to everybody who's tuned in to this motherfucker
I hope ya'll enjoying this from the safety of your homes
Wash your hands, wash your ass, do all that good shit
Stay away from everybody and please try your best to be safe
We tryna' do our thing, ya'll see us up here with out lil'
Hazmat suits and everything
We tryna' put this show on
We giving all the proceeds back, everything that we make from this show
If any donations are given, we givin' em back to all the small businesse's and some of our partners who were affected by the Covid-19 crisis
So if you donate anything that's where its going
Know your money is going to support black by black
Fuck the police for the bullshit that they got going on right now, we ain't even gon' keep that going
We gon' get into the throwbacks so lets do it
