E-Man Bates - Flashbacks (feat. Avery Norris & Lola Tea)

You may never know what the future holds
You may never know
Know
You may never
Know Know Know Know
You may never know what the future holds
You may never know
You may never

Once upon a time in 7 Mile and Patton
Block full of thugs and sub woofers blasting
Back when mumble was kept out of rapping
Lived a kid who almost let life past him
With his grandma and his moms
On the grind 9-5 holding 2 jobs
Just to make sure we had food on the table
Cartoons on cable
Super Smash till he not able to think
Before he ever picked up a drink
Even before he could put gas in the tank
Me and my bros rode bikes from Lasher till Northland Skating Rink
Manuel be home before those street lights on
Mom just chill won't be gone to long
But I stayed out later than I should
Cause I though I could
Then I caught that belt
Nigga wish you would think you grown
Till you on your own
Your ass is mine so stop that crying and woe
I don't do it cause I wanna
I do it cause I care
If I was to lose you I just couldn't bare
Cause just yesterday
Only three blocks away
There was a drug raid in the block
They pulled out the ak's and they fired away and your classmate got hit by the shots.

You may never know what the future holds
So let it all go an create your mold
Growing and it shows, the mind and soul
You may never know
You may never know
Look into my eyes and what do you see
Is it all a dream or is reality
Foot up on the gas
Or should I take it slow
You may never know
You may never know
You may never know what the future holds
So let it all go an create your mold
Growing and it shows, the mind and soul
You may never know
You may never know

Now our heroes a little bit older
Off that bike into a corolla
Young and he wild
Got a new crowd
Spending weekends getting tore up
Where the party at
He would go follow
Bacardi jack
Chased with the swallow
Insomniac
Dreams looking hollow
Riding through life
And then hit a pothole
Ya'll know
I'm white Russian mano
Drinking everything until I can't handle
They Say I got fire but feel like a candle
Living in the burbs grew up by the bando
I feel like a child
I'm drowning my frowns
I'm finding my style
And comfort in crowds
Who come by the piles
Who traveled those miles
To here all these sounds
All mastered and proud
That my band makes
But I feel like a damn fake
Depression, the demon you can't shake
I wonder if feeling low is my damn fate
Till I overdoes or I Hannah bake
Mama watch over me
Keep very close to me and help me heal all of these scars
Cause these Green balloons rise
Creating my demise and
Keep the world from saying DOR

You may never know what the future holds
So let it all go an create your mold
Growing and it shows, the mind and soul
You may never know
You may never know
Look into my eyes and what do you see
Is it all a dream or is reality
Foot up on the gas
Or should I take it slow
You may never know
You may never know
