Back to the Future, Part I Songtext
von D’Angelo

Traveling at the speed of light and then
At the same time I′m in the same spot too
The room was kept in
About the same way you left it
With about the threat and messin' attitude

Where have you been, with all your grin
Until all your friends turn their backs on you?
Reminiscing over what you′ve been missing
Could be just like cousins kissing
That's taboo

Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I used to get real high, now I
Now I'm just gettin′ a buzz
I wanna go back
Back to the way it was


If you win, no matter if you lose
You got to come back again
Pay some dues
Back in Richmond, shit ain′t changed a bit in
Niggas with a little piss in got some attitudes

I've been wondering (I′ve been wondering)
If I can love the moon (I could love again)
I might love again, and you too
So if you're wondering about the proper shape I′m in
I hope it ain't my abdomen that you′re referring to
This what I want you to listen to

The season may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memory, oh
The season may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you'll have is some memory, oh
The season may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you′ll have is some memory, oh
The season may come and your luck just may run out, and all that you′ll have is some memory, oh

Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high, now I
Now I'm just getting′ a buzz, now, now, now
I said back to the way it was, now, now, now


Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
Said I used to get real high, now I
Now I'm just getting′ a buzz, now, now, now
(Back to the way it was, now, now, now)
