Lyrics

TOO LOST / NOT GOING BACK
Hook
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And I’m never looking back on tomorrow
I’ve been up, I’ve been lost
Used to drown myself in a bottle
They say a rose in the desert only survives off its strength
Not its beauty—but you got both, so we go together
Whatever storm comes your way
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And I’m never looking back on tomorrow
I’ve been up, I’ve been lost
Used to drown myself in a bottle
I’m not going back
And I’m not going back no more (x2)
And I’m not going back
Verse 1
Lights out, no more Superman—it’s all cracked
In the mirror like, “Who’s the man?”
Lost his voice when the crowd stopped, no more chants
And his life caught up when there’s no more chance
You ever been a track star running from problems
Hoping that they don’t catch up, shoot and rob ya
One more dance in a room with the devil
In the backyard, pounding dirt with a shovel
Bury all the bones, then foot on the gas
Forgetting one truth: built a house made of glass
Not all things—even good—meant to last
And everything bad don’t end with a laugh
Verse 2
Reached out to God, trying to have a convo
Asked Him if pain’s just part of the cargo
Moved all the weight to survive my past tense
Rolling Devil’s Highway—can’t slow, too fast
Hook
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And I’m never looking back on tomorrow
I’ve been up, I’ve been lost
Used to drown myself in a bottle
I’m not going back
And I’m not going back no more (x2)
And I’m not going back
Bridge
Without you, life never made sense
When you raised by lions, you stay on defense
Without an enemy, never know strength
Never know love, never feel what it means
I’m alive—one day I’ma die
I’ma leave a legacy so my fam can survive
More than that, they gon’ really thrive
And I’m sorry to my wife for the lies
I would cry, but I can’t
Gotta stay a killer in a world where they swallow when you feel it
I know that I ain’t
Never going back, never—never going back
Never—never going back ’cause I can’t
Down by the river, my reflection
In the water got me looking at the pain
Never going back
Never—never going back
Never—never going back ’cause I can’t
Ahhh
Final Hook / Outro
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
And I’m never looking back on tomorrow
I’ve been up, I’ve been lost
Used to drown myself in a bottle
I’m not going back
And I’m not going back no more (x2)
And I’m not going back
