Lyrics of Butterfly Effect by Joyner Lucas
[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
With An Imagination
[Pre-Chorus]
I Crank The Engine Up And Take A Trip To See Stars
Sit Inside The Moon, Build A Mansion On Mars
Take Me Back To When I Had No Bandage And No Scars
Remember 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 (Yeah), This Right (Yeah)
Kill All This Mental Tension
That Makes Me Fight, Me Fight
It’s The Only Way I Know I’ma Be Alright Tonight, Tonight
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 Drivin’ 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 Inside The Moon, Build A Mansion On Mars
Take Me Back To When I Had No Bandage And No Scars
Remember 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 (Yeah), This Right (Yeah)
Kill All This Mental Tension
That Makes Me Fight, Me Fight
It’s The Only Way I Know I’ma Be Alright Tonight, Tonight
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 The 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 Outta Touch (Yeah)
I’d Dream About The Benz Every Time I Caught The Bus
I Used To Watch The Other Kids And Now Those Kids Are Watchin’ Us
But (Uh) 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-huh)
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 (Yeah), This Right (Yeah)
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 (Yeah)
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’ll Be Alright)
If The Butterfly Effect Only Made This Right
