Big Pete - Circlin' Back (To My Future) Lyrics

Big Pete - Circling Back
Hey
Have you wondered
What you could have been
If you could do it all again
You didn't do it right the first time
So you just tryna get a rewind
And try again
Follow your dreams
And then begin
To make the changes needed in your life
Try to do it again and do it right
As you look back in hindsight
You can't copy your past you gotta re-write
Don't be mad at yourself
You just did it wrong
Maybe you needed some help
Take a look at the
Choices you made
And do it differently
You can't be afraid
Its time to celebrate
Throw a big ol bash
And check the haters at the door
Burn those bridges to ash
When the parties over
Time to relax
Then find yourself a Hyna
With a big ass to smash
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
Now here's my story
I grew up in a real small town
The only radio station
We could get
That was down with my sound
KUKQ 1060 AM Phoenix Arizona
"The Rhythm of the City"
As a kid I used to listen
Day and night
Write down all the jams that I like
As a small town
There wasn't much to do
But party with the Homies
Bumpin the funky tunes
One of the big Homies
Used to make mixed tapes
10 Bucks a pop
And you supply the tape
I knew a hit record when it hit my ear
His tapes had all the funky jams I wanted to hear
The big Homies were a big influence
I spent Every last dollar, dime
And every cent
Every jam written on my list
Every tape, 45, album
And 12"press
I gotta have my music
I gotta have my music
I gotta have my music
Ok part 2 of my story commences when I went to college
I got a job at a record store
Because of my knowledge
At the interview,
They were confused.
How can a small town kid like you understand the industry like you do?
I paid attention to the details to the facts
I knew the labels, producers the artists and the spinoff acts
The customers used to come in with a song
They didn't know the name, but used to Humm 4 bars
"Haw haw haw haw"
Oh yeah! That's on aiIsle 3
I think it comes on
Tape Vinyl and CD
But if you really wanna get hooked up
Follow me Ima show you all the shit that'll bump in your trunk
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
See I provided a service unique, unlike other record stores
I would take a stack of CDs to bump up in their cars
And only show them the shit that I'm bumping myself
My recommendations were flying off the f*cking shelf
Upper Management Saw my potential
They were amazed at how I can be so damn influential
Hey, I know my music and I know the hits
Soon the record labels used to treat me like I was the shit
Sales figures don't lie
They doubled and tripled
For them complicated
For me very simple
I took the risk out of buying CDs
My love for funky sound
Was the foundation for my expertise
But it only got better
I caught the attention
Of my favorite record distributor
City Hall records out of the bay
They got the funky ass gangster shit
That get no radio play
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back To My Future
Circling Back Its my life
I was influential to the Arizona music scene
I flooded the market
With a gangster lean
Independent label, underground, gangster, funk
The kind of shit that you want to bump in your trunk
E40, Brotha Lynch Hung, RBL
Mac Dre, Drew down and celly cell
But my real love for music started to peak
When I was able to make
My own dope fiend beats
Hey, I know what I like
I make the funky ass beats
Slap hard and hit just right
Yeah, I've got that West Coast sound
But I am representing Phoenix, Arizona my hometown
