Songtexte

[Intro]
Uh
Two, one
Uh, look
[Verse 1]
And every time I think the mojo gone
Here come the feelin' I've been tryna find for oh so long
"You can't hang it up now, bro, hold on
People all around the world knowin' your songs"
So this is for the diehards and casuals alike
That press play soon as the clock strikes midnight
Hit up all my posts with the comments and likes
First on the site tryna cop the merchandise
Could damn near recite every single verse I write
Or bought tix to see me on the stage with the mic
And tell me after the show how my songs changed your life
It's y'all energy that's keepin' on the lights (That do)
I was down bad, scribblin' my life in a pad
They said, "Go get a real job, put down the mic, it's a fad," but
Nothing could keep me away
[Verse 2]
Nah, nothin', uh, look
Was headstrong and so I kept on
Was fueled by the fact that I was slept on
Wanted to prove to **** they was dead wrong
I wouldn't take it, take it onto the next song
Told my mama I'd make it, she like, "I hope you right"
Worked up the courage to hit up the local open mics
Me and these raps got a bond so tight
I'm back the next week even if I bombed that night
It's like, for real like
Nothing could keep me away
[Verse 3]
Uh, look
At Domino's writin' rhymes on the back of a time sheet
Bosses would grind teeth at me fallin' behind
Tryna scroll through my mind to find beats
All I needed was a tempo to latch onto
Till I could find an instrumental that match
This back when producers wasn't sendin' me packs
I dropped some shit on SoundCloud and people didn't react
I'd be happy just to get ten clicks on a track, ****
Goddamn, it's bringin' memories back
When my heart was sure, the art was pure
I'm talkin' back when we was packin' out department store
But of course
Nothing could keep me away
[Verse 4]
Bruh, and I hit Apache Music, roamin' packed lounge
Let the bouncer know I'm performin', doin' pat-downs
Hit the blunt, wait my turn, play the background
Nothing could keep me away
Nah, bruh, I'm not a part of EARTHGANG, bruh, I'm just JID, but appreciate you
Even though they was all mimickin' the trap sound
I knew this wasn't how that sound
It's only fittin' eventually I lapped clowns
Now give me that crown, pussy
Nothing could keep me away
[Verse 5]
Look, uh
From sportin' it even if it got thorns in it
Open my doors for you to explore for four minutes
Critics nitpick to the core, but as long as my core get it
Then fuck 'em, easy, huh
Nothing could keep me away
[Verse 6]
Uh, been like this for over a decade
No matter how many times I try and segue
No matter how many heartbreaks, headaches
Affliction and the pain, it's itchin' in my veins
No right or wrong prescription, I'm addicted to the game
[Outro]
Daddy got best bars in the world?
Yes
Nothing could keep me away
[Outro]
Nothing could keep me away
[Outro]
Nothing could keep me away from you
