[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 1]
It's been a while
Since I saw you
And since you hurt me
And it's been a while
Since I saw started back doin' my thing
And if you wanna know
Why I've been on the low
Lets just say it was me
Gettin' to know me
And now it's time to see
That I

[Pre-Chorus]
I've learned some things
And I've been some places that I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to

[Chorus]
Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (Oh-oh)
Taking time to say, "What's up?" (Oh-oh)
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track (No, no, no, no)

[Verse 2]
I heard some things
Things that weren't true
Supposed to be about me
But I have a dream
And I won't let nobody stop me
I can tell you know now that I'm gonna stay around
And that they can do them
'Cause I'ma do me
And now it's time to see
That I

[Pre-Chorus]
I've learned some things
And I've been some places all that I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
But it's time to get back to this
Back to

[Chorus]
Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (Oh-oh)
Taking time to say, "What's up?"
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh, it feels good to be back
And ooh (Ooh)
How could people think that
That I, I wouldn't get my spot back
And for those who thought that, just know
That I'm back to what I love

[Chorus]
Back to what I love
Giving up hugs
Taking time to say, "What's up?" (Oh-oh)
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know (Taking time)
I am back, and I won't lose track (I'm back)
Back to what I love
Giving up hugs (What I love)
To my girls and to all my thugs (To my girls, all my girls)
Back to sellin' out shows, doin' videos
Lettin' all my people know
I am back, and I won't lose track
