Background - Ricky

Lately, I’ve been tryna kick it in the background

I’ve been tryna tune out all the bad sounds

I’m just tryna come up cause I’m so down (yeah)

You see, the way my heart was set up was

It didn’t know the difference between truth and assumptions

There’s something

That’s steady tryna limit my function

It might be me

Or maybe demons or some shit

I laugh it off (Ha)

Steady attacking when I’m blacking

Don’t know who to call

I’m sorry kid, I gotta dip

It’s always good seeing you and all

But everything ain’t meant to last

That’s why I had to move along

I’m tryna see the world from every angle

Plus the moon and stars

I’m tryna feel what love is like

And will I have to travel far?

Or what if I said f**k it and I moved out to the amazon?

I’d probably find myself

And maybe not even remember home

Or maybe I’d go crazy

F**k around and lose my sh*t or something

And I’m climbing summits

I’ll amount to something after all

Moving forward step by step

It’s pretty hard to make me fall

My destiny just called

That sh*t aligned me with the greats

So wherever the wind takes

Baby, just know that sh*t was fate

Lately, I’ve been tryna kick it in the background

I’ve been tryna tune out all the bad sounds

I’m just tryna come up cause I’m so down (yeah)

You’re the one for me

(And you’re for me)

And I’m the one you want

(And I’m the one you want)

So girl come with me

(So girl just come with me)

You don’t gotta front

See, I was down

Driving around town

Speeding and bugging all out

Need me a crown

Cause I am the king of this now

Really I need me a crowd

And I’m

Feeling it happen

There’s n*ggas that know me just off of this rapping

So I

Remain on my humblest tip

Even when I wanna quit

Pour up

Some Paul in the cup and

I get to sipping and talking my sh*t

But I

Remain in the background

Got nothing on me like a pat down

My slate is clean

I can just black now

I cleared out my RAM for these damn sounds

Like, my memory is coming back

I done did a little dirt

But drew no X’s on my map

That means you’ll have to come to me

If you been wondering where I’m at

I’m going ghost on all you n*ggas

Pulling out on all these b*tches

And if I don’t call you fam

I’m probably not f**king witchu

What’s the issue with the people these days?

It seems like everyone just backtracks

And folds like Lay’s

What a shame

Y’all on the same sh*t from like 10th grade

There’ll come a day when y’all will realize

You were in your own way

But hey

Lately, I’ve been tryna kick it in the background

I’ve been tryna tune out all the bad sounds

I’m just tryna come up cause I’m so down (yeah)
