Butterfly Effect

[Verse 1]

If I could travel back into time

I'd probably go sit in my spaceship

The colorful lights on the inside

To brighten my frown and faces

Got the radio loud when it's in drive

'Cause I ain't tryna hear frustrations

I'm floatin' on clouds in the sky

What an imagination

[Pre-Chorus]

I crank the engine up and take a trip to see stars

Sit on top of the moon, build a mansion on Mars

Take me back to when I had no bandage and no scars

'Member when I was a youngin, wasn't stressin' at all

Someone there to catch me every time that I fall

Someone there with me at my every beck and call

Way before you met me, weren't no problems I could solve

Swear that I would trade it all

[Chorus]

I'd go back in time, in time

I'll fly to another dimension

To make this right, this right

Kill all this mental tension

That makes me fight, me fight

It's the only way I know I'ma be alright tonight, tonight (Be alright, I'd be alright)

If the butterfly effect only made this right

[Verse 2]

Roll the window down when I'm up high

Breath of fresh air when I'm flyin'

You drive me crazy sometimes

I'd rather sit alone in the silence

But climb to my seat when I get tired

Light somethin' up when I'm vibin'

Floatin' on clouds in the sky

Fall asleep under the horizon

[Pre-Chorus]

I crank the engine up and take a trip to see stars

Sit on top of the moon, build a mansion on Mars

Take me back to when I had no bandage and no scars

'Member when I was a youngin, wasn't stressin' at all

I would change the pieces to the puzzle, where your heart?

If I could do it over, take it back to what it was

Back before we ever made mistakes from the start

If I could only trade it all

[Chorus]

I'd go back in time, in time

I'll fly to another dimension

To make this right, this right

Kill all this mental tension

That makes me fight, me fight

It's the only way I know I'ma be alright tonight, tonight (Be alright, I'd be alright)

If the butterfly effect only made this right

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I used to sit inside my room on the floor (Uh)

Tryna build a fort and use a blanket as a door (Yeah)

Cardboard boxes, drawin' pictures on the board

At them times, I felt rich, even though we was really poor (True)

Imaginary friends, niggas thought that I was nuts (Uh)

But I was only ten and everyone was out of touch (Yeah)

Dream about the Benz every time I caught the bus

I used to watch the other kids and now them kids are watchin' us (Uh)

But sometimes I feel like a butterfly with broken wings (Yeah)

'Cause even if it's still flyin', it don't float the same (Uh)

I often think about the past way before the fame

And how I used to cope with pain and why a nigga overcame (Yeah)

It's weighin' heavy on my skull (Uh)

I wish I knew the pressure was so heavy for my soul (Joyner)

If I could do it over, I'd trade everything I own

Take back everything I know

If I could only trade it all

[Chorus]

I'd go back in time, in time

I'll fly to another dimension

To make this right, this right

Kill all this mental tension

That makes me fight, me fight

It's the only way I know I'ma be alright tonight, tonight (Be alright, I'd be alright)

If the butterfly effect only let me

Go back in time, in time

I'll fly to another dimension

To make this right (Yeah), this right

I'd kill all this mental tension

That makes me fight, me fight

It's the only way I know I'ma be alright tonight, tonight (Be alright, I'd be alright)

If the butterfly effect only made this right
