Back2thebeginningagain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It took me 22 years to trust myself
Too many people told me to be somebody else
They said, “There’s two things you gotta do to succeed:
1. Forget about you
2. Listen to me.”

[Verse 2]
But on the 20th day of December this year what I needed to do became ever clear
I got drunk and I cried and I fell asleep
When I woke up I knew who I needed to be
Took off my shoes and my socks and I ran through the snow
Through the center of town I left long ago
Frost bite on my ankles and I don’t care
Got some shit on my mind that I wanna share
I’m riding around old stomping grounds
Riding around on sacred ground
I know where I’m going cause I know where I’ve been
I’ve been- riding around old stomping grounds
Riding around this small town
Finally know where I’m going
Back2thebeginningagain
Take them to the strip club
Make a Euro pop song
Do whatever I say
Industry get along
You should do a cover song
You should make a Katy song
You should pull your titties out
Then I'll put your record out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did JoJo say about "Back2thebeginningagain"?
Genius Answer

“It’s about driving around Foxborough in my mom’s Toyota Echo with the dents on the side of it and just getting in touch with my roots: Who I am; where I came from. I’m talking about some of those dark times where I’ve drank until I’ve gone to sleep and woken up and feeling like ‘ok, everything else is in the past. Today I start forward and start fresh.’'
