A play on words of popular Christmas song “12 days of Christmas”
[Verse 1: Natalie Lauren]
I told the homies get dressed
It's go time, let the cameras roll
What did you expect?
I'm back like I never left
Yup, yup, yup, yup
I'm back like I never left
Yup, yup, yup, yup
I'm back like I never left
[Intro: Swoope]
Ahem, I wanna make a toast
[Chorus: Natalie Lauren & Swoope]
Yeah, don't it feel good when you're here with the ones you love
To the ones I love the most
Really ain't got nothin', but it feel like it's just enough
Lemme see those glasses high
Yeah yeah, and it's just enough
Celebrating life
Yeah, yeah, we got just enough
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, you know it's enough
Yeah, one take, what's up?
Yeah
[Verse 2: Swoope]
I'm back like I never left, blessed what you call that
I ain't came up, God came through, all facts
Errybody got a story, mine ain't funny
Errybody got a price, mine ain't money
Old head told me "Know yo' worth, then add tax"
"Take what you heard, then add facts"
"Fam is only loyalty, never half that"
"Fam is only royalty, never ASCAP"
AK-Town back for the city where it first started
Back twice for the homies that's dearly departed
Back again, grind 'til I move my momma
Into a bigger crib all with a new designer
Moving with the same team members
We in the right lane like 18 wheelers
I admit, that my crew, flyer than, stewardess, and pilot
Sorry for the way ya' boy screwed up the diet
Now I'm back like I never left
[Chorus: Natalie Lauren]
Yeah, don't it feel so good when you're here with the ones you love
Really ain't got nothin', but it feel like it's just enough
And you back like you never left
Yup, yup, yup, yup
And we back like we never left
Woo, ayy!
If you feel the same way, know we back like we never left
Woo, yup, yup, yup, yup
Boy back like he never left
Momma, gon' get the fine china, woo
I'ma bring it back like a wind-up, woo
Yeah, yeah, you know where to find us
Right here, nunna somet'in, yuh, back like we never left
Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup
Ya' boy back like he never left
Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup (back-back)
[Interlude: Swoope & Natalie Lauren]
Cats don't be wanting music no more
Back-back like he never left
They be wanting that rachet, so here you go
[Bridge: Swoope & Natalie Lauren]
Where you been? I been gone!
Why you back? Been too long!
Thought I was off, what you on?
I had to skrrt, so I could come
Back like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Back like he never left
Like I never left
Like I never left (alright)
Like I never left
Back-back
[Verse 3: Swoope]
Back like I forgot somethin'
Left out like I stole somethin'
New crew? I ain't got one
Bless God for my old ones
Bless God for my old ones
Wake Up, that's my old one
Jay say you want the old one?
Go and listen to the old one!
Back, back with the newness
Hear this they gon' lose it
Backpacks to the truest
But keep up, keep it moving
I'm an Anomaly
Check the gold plaque
'Crae, tell 'em we still follow Jesus
They can hold that
I'm back like a chiropractor off of vacation
Couldn't come home 'til I covered all my bases
It's it's least I could do, like I'm working out of Avis
Eyes on Zion, unplug from the Matrix
Now I'm back
[Bridge: Swoope & Natalie Lauren]
Where you been? I been gone!
Why you back? Been too long!
Thought I was off, what you on?
I had to skrrt, so I could come
Back like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Like I never left
Back like he never left
Like I never left
Like I never left (alright)
Like I never left
Back-back like he never left
Back-back
