[Intro] [vocal gunshots] Pow, pow! [vocal record scratch] Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt Hold up, okay, skrrt, okay, wait, hold up, skrrt Yeah, uh, whoa, turn me up, turn me up, whoa, yeah, uh [Verse 1] [rhythmic humming bassline and vocal percussion enter] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm I'm in a room and I gotta stay locked I'm in a zone and I cannot be stopped People gon' talk when I reach the top Run it back, never dropping the crop Forty my brotha, we pulling up, whoa Forty my brotha, we pulling up, whoa Pressure on me and I'm spinning it right Gotta get it and hold it down tight People wanna play like that, like that Keep it in the bag like that, back-back When I want it, people wanna play like that Gotta keep it moving forward, never looking back Got the momentum back-to-back-to-back Coming back-to-back-to-back-to-back Got a track on the back of the stack of the grind Everybody wanna play like that Uh, okay [Pre-Chorus] [build, vocal stabs] Woo! I been working in the quiet While they sleeping I been buying time Nobody gave it, I went and got it Back-to-back until it's mine, mine, mine [Chorus] [vocal slide whistles] Woo, woop! Yeah, like that, like boom! Woo! A-ha, ooh! People like the way that I move, like ooh! I'm in a building and I'm building something new [vocal percussion continues] Tough love, rough road People see me playing for keeps Gotta get it, never fold — back-to-back on repeat [Verse 2] [cadence tightens, delivery more deliberate] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm I been moving in silence, they missing my steps I been stacking my focus, collecting my checks Never told nobody what I had in my chest Let the outcome do the talking, let the work manifest Back-to-back, overlapping like waves in the tide Back-to-back, never slipping, keep the standard up high Some were waiting for me stumble, I just waved 'em goodbye Back-to-back-to-back-to-back, no cap, no lie They asking how I do it, I just tell 'em discipline Wasn't given nothing, had to build it from the origin Pressure make it polish like a diamond in the interim Back-to-back until I'm legendary, not a synonym Okay, okay — woo! [Chorus] [vocal slide whistles] Woo, woop! Yeah, like that, like boom! Woo! A-ha, ooh! People like the way that I move, like ooh! I'm in a building and I'm building something new [vocal percussion continues] Tough love, rough road People see me playing for keeps Gotta get it, never fold — back-to-back on repeat [Bridge] [stripped back — just bassline hum and claps] Mmm-mmm-mmm... mmm-mmm-mmm... They said slow down, I said back-to-back They said fall off, I said back-to-back They said give up, I said back-to-back Back-to-back-to-back — that's a fact [vocal percussion builds back in] Skrrt — okay — woo — uh Back-to-back, back-to-back, back-to-back — let's go! [Verse 3] [most confident delivery of the song] I don't need nobody doubting what I carry in my name Every setback was a setup, every loss became a flame I was building in the background while they occupied the lane Now they circling the moment that I stepped into the frame Back-to-back-to-back, the work never stops Back-to-back-to-back, I been doing this non-stop Back-to-back-to-back, from the bottom to the top Back-to-back-to-back — pow, pow — don't stop [Outro] [energy drops to hum, ad-libs float over] Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm [whispered] Back-to-back... back-to-back... [vocal scratch] Skrrt... skrrt... Pow... yeah... that's it...
