Kickback Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been away, but now I feel you, yeah
Wonder what made you feel like I could be the one, oh ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, it's been me, I pissed you off
I let you in my feelings, you really feel, yeah
Uh huh, sayin'
[Chorus]
You been high, I get that
I been at the kickback
Nothing will content me
Doesn't matter, ah
Thought you came from nothin'
JDog, that’s my cousin
You should like my brother
Doesn't matter, ah
[Verse 2]
I've had a taste of how you feelin', yeah
Yeah, I've been hiding how I feel for way too long, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately it's been me, I pissed you off
I let you in my feelings, you really feel, yeah
Uh huh, sayin'
[Chorus]
You been high, I get that
I've been at the kickback
Nothing will content me
Doesn't matter, ah
Thought you came from nothin'
JDog, that’s my cousin
You should like my brother
Doesn't matter, ah
You been high, I get that
I've been at the kickback
Nothing will content me
Doesn't matter, ah
Thought you came from nothin'
JDog, that’s my cousin
You should like my brother
Doesn't matter, ah

What was the songwriting process?
I made the beat first and then that’s how I make all my shit. It just comes like that first and then I’ll just start humming or singing over it. It’s just kind of like that.
