Lyrics

That's my ninja
I look back
I look back
I look back
I look back
I look back
I look back
I look back
I look back
All memories are different when the city get quiet
I look back
I look back when the nights felt colder
Young hearts carryin' weights on our shoulders
Rain came down but we still moved forward
Now the ghosts sing low through the corridor
Hold on
I still hear mama prayin' through the hard times
Still see streetlights glowin' in my mind
I remember bus rides, cracked seats, cold weather
Mama holdin' tears together under cheap sweaters
Kitchen light flicker while the rent stayed due
Still she smiled somehow when the stress broke through
Cousin in the hallway baggin' little white stones
Grandma in the next room prayin' life turn home
Meanwhile I was sketchin' dreams in the math book
Tryna make pain sound beautiful on tracks cooked
No sleep, no feet, but big dreams
Concrete, yeah
Now the same kid headline sold-out venues
But success don't erase what survival been through
Every scar got a timestamp hidden inside it
Every loss still echo when the night gets quiet
I look back
Fast life, street lights, cold nights, fist fights
Dark blocks, car clocks, bus stops, lunch boxes
Play far, play cards, stand tall, don't crawl
Sirens singin' through the avenue mix
Young souls outside
Still chasin' significance
I look back when the nights felt colder
Young hearts carryin' weights on our shoulders
Rain came down but we still moved forward
Now the ghosts sing low through the corridor
Hold on
I still hear mama prayin' through the hard times
Still see streetlights glowin' in my mind
My uncle drank slow listenin' to soul records
Told me every strong man got invisible pressure
I ain't understand it 'til the world got heavier
'Til friends disappeared chasin' fast paper
Existential tension mixed with survival decisions
Every blessing came wrapped inside suspicion
Tryin' not to lose humanity in the system
While ambition kept pullin' me deeper within it
I still remember church clothes at funerals
Mama sayin' "Watch the company around you"
Now I move calm through rooms full of envy
'Cause pressure taught lessons success never tells me
Slow dancin' with the memories again
Old pain still livin' under my skin
I look back
But we made light from the dark somehow
I look back
And I know they'd be proud of us now
Heavy is the soul when the stories stay real
Every wound became part of the armor we build
And even when the city tried breakin' our spirit
We turned scars into songs so the whole world could hear it
I look back
I look back when the nights felt colder
Young hearts carryin' weights on our shoulders
Rain came down but we still moved forward
Now the ghosts sing low through the corridor
Hold on
I still hear mama prayin' through the hard times
Still see streetlights glowin' in my mind
Some memories fade
I look back
The real ones become music forever
I look back
