Borrow And Return - JohnnieB

Lyrics

( Johnnie B On The Beat ) Oh shit, it’s unlocked and the keys are in it Looks like life just handed us a different kind of ticket Me and fate ain’t talking Sonic when we say we gotta live it Can’t even count the nights I sat there wondering if I’d get it Money got me stressed, got me pacing, got me thinking Might run into a dead end, whole damn plan start sinking Funny thing about pressure, it’ll test you in an instant But every time I hit the bottom, I come back up different Dark of the night, still echo through my memory Long roads, no map, just chasing possibility Somebody said, “You ain’t got the guts to make it happen, G” So I took the wheel and drove straight into opportunity Got stuck in the mud, had to figure out a different way Life don’t always move forward every single day Got out, laughed, wiped the dirt away Sometimes the biggest lesson is what you return after you stray Just borrowed a ride, took a quick little run Not a thief, just a night for some fun And bitch I promise you it wasn’t that deep Just needed some air, now I’m back to sleep Came right back, yeah I did it correct Same damn spot, full respect Now this world keep talking like I’d forget where I came from Trying to rewrite stories after everything became one Calling people names while pretending they the sane ones Meanwhile I just keep building while they waiting on the same run Here’s a charge for a charge, every action got a balance Every loss and every win become a part of your challenge I ain’t thinking about revenge, I’d rather build a legacy Because every bridge I burn is one less road ahead of me See my problems took a turn when I learned what really matters Not reactions from the crowd or chasing digital chatter Everybody got opinions, everybody got a case But they hardly know the person, only know the first name base I tried to tell these motherfuckers I was coming back improved Not to steal the spotlight, just to show them how I moved Borrowed from the past, returned it with a different view That’s the difference between JohnnieB and everything they assumed Just borrowed a ride, took a quick little run Not a thief, just a night for some fun And bitch I promise you it wasn’t that deep Just needed some air, now I’m back to sleep Came right back, yeah I did it correct Same damn spot, full respect
