Rappers Dillmatic & ConchezYout use “Past Life” the second to last song from their collab album, Speak It Into The Universe with producer Bicks Boogie as a love letter to their previous wife. The song centers around a breakup they previously had. They reminisce to the first time they met her, an...
[Intro: Dillmatic]
I think I need one
Past life or some shit
[Verse 1: Dillmatic]
Uh, we was homies way before we made love together
Thought he was the one but I knew you need someone better
That was me, couldn't miss my shot to scoop you off your feet
Might not been the one to him, but girl, you the one to me
Took that shit for granted, had to make you understand it
I was immature before I knew what love commanded
We both had our standards, you was done with second chances
'Til I asked you for another, this time it would bе romantic
Had to put in the work, the thought of losin' made mе frantic
Had to put you first 'cause in the past, you couldn't stand it
When I brush you off the canvas like a nigga got no manners
Doin' shit with my mans instead of what we had planned?
That was childish, no Gambino (Facts)
You was out in Boston, no Bambino
Atlantic city, yeah, we did casinos
Virginia at the West Gate, breakfast with cappuccino
Shopping for the apartment, we both hit up Home Depot
Had to let go my ego just to see how far we go
When you need me there, girl, I'll be your superhero
You be my amiga and I be your amigo
Anything that you need, you just gotta let me know for sure
[Chorus: ConchezYout]
Uh, it's like I knew you in the past life
I had the whole pie, I'll let you take the last slice
Met you, night was young, we was really livin' fast, right?
Was over every night, and every night, I gave you mad pipe
Then you moved on, I was really in a sad life
Sad Boy ENT so it's no more seeing me
You rocked a nigga world like PnB
Never seen the day you'll be leaving me, had to change up the scenery
[Verse 2: ConchezYout]
Lost my peace and my happiness, tryna figure what happen next (Uh-huh)
Took a knee just like Kaepernick, now all I get is angry texts (Damn)
Followed by some make up sex, you the one I wake up next to
Never meant to stress you, take me back to the first day I met you (Word)
You forever special, thought that I would never get you (You my girl)
Then I let my mental get everything detrimental (Fuck it up)
I made a vow to always be there to protect you (I did)
And now the signs is showing me to go get you (Comin')
You was the run while I was on the road (Oh)
I was on the high while you was on the low (Yeah)
Call me mad times but wouldn't pick up my phone (I didn't)
When you needed me most, yeah, I left you all alone
And I know, things done change (Yeah)
I done wrong yeah, made you feel pain
Made you feel strange, yeah, and drove you insane
But, gimme one more chance, girl, let me explain (Yeah)
[Chorus: ConchezYout]
Uh, it's like I knew you in the past life
I had the whole pie, I'll let you take the last slice
Met you, night was young, we was really livin' fast, right?
Was over every night, and every night, I gave you mad pipe
Then you moved on, I was really in a sad life
Sad Boy ENT so it's no more seeing me
You rocked a nigga world like PnB
Never seen the day you'll be leaving me, had to change up the scenery
[Outro]
Uh, it's like I knew you in the past life
It's like I knew you in the past life
It's like I knew you in the past life
Past life
