justin torres - the return lyrics

[intro: derrick rose]
team doctor’s right there & he… he’s the one that told me that
right then & there i just broke down, i couldn’t believe it
so imagine having that pain the entire night, & you gotta take medication
if anything i think i learned, it’s gonna help me with my patience

(verse 1)
i rose up from the bottom, they saw what i possessed
i’m number 1 in my hometown i’m grown now, balllin’ for success
& i’m ready for the league no longer a lil’ boy
now i’m heard when i speak, no longer a lil’ noise
i’m nervous, but on the surface i’m fearless
i do so much work i feel the people just hear less
i used to wonder why when it was me they don’t believe in
how can they listen to me when i don’t give ’em a reason
uh, g4 had given me my award
was rookie of the year but yet i know there’s more in store
so on, the m-i-c, i see them tryna be like me
a lil’ later won the mvp
& then i knew what i was destined to see, the best i could be
leave compet-tion restin’ in peace, the rest in the streets
wear my heart on my sleeve, it’s easy to show
god told me that i needed to rise, therefore i rose

[hook 1: derrick rose]
i think that i’m way more patient, becoming a man
i’m puttin’ all this time in, breaking my fingers, twisting my ankles
why not be the best? i sacrifice a lot of things, i dedicate my whole life to this game
so why not wanna be the best in it?

(verse 2)
i was a force to be reckon with, every verse did damage to the booth
not every mic can handle the truth
but i was glad to give the people what they wanted
even if it meant me gettin’ hurt in the process
it’s not stress, but i felt my knees buckle
uh-oh, this sh-t’s bad, only means trouble
i should’ve just played safe, but knowing me that’s something i would never
do, till i collapsed cuz on me was too much pressure
& i fell, layin’ on my back mad at the world
how could this happen when i was just gettin’ started
i lost what driven me & could no longer steer
felt like when i was tryna talk to my fans they wouldn’t hear
now i’m in rehab, tryna recover what i had lost
i’ll do it no matter what may be the cost
because this, is all that i even have
i’m training for my future no longer carin’ bout the past, i’m comin’ for the crown

[hook 2: derrick rose + (ahmad rashad)]
(you are not gonna be regular..)
not the way i look at it, my heart won’t let me
(how about carrying your own team that you grew up being a fan of, & now you are the guy?
a lot of weight on your shoulders to be “the guy” that’s bringing them back?)
i would love to be that guy..

(verse 3)
i’m in the studio just tryna get my focus back
i lost my will to play like i don’t even what’s rap
i’m lookin’ at my injury & saw that i fully recovered
lookin’ at my mvp like how could i win another
& i knew i was shook, i couldn’t possibly do this
i’m pullin’ the cord outta the mic i’m stoppin’ it’s useless
but the voice up in my head sayin’ “stop it you’re stupid
you’ll walk away from all the fans who talk of your music?”
look in the mirror, & i see my only opponent
now quittin’ is not an option, i won’t condone it
i wasn’t mentally ready cause the thoughts in my head i can’t control it
thought the heat was too hot for me now i’m scorchin’
i step up to the mic now i’m scorin’ way better than what i used to be
look at my fans & it’s proof to me
that they believe in me, know that whenever i may return
it’s a wrap, now i’m back i’m on a whole new level musically
don’t celebrate me, that don’t mean sh-t to me
want us to celebrate the victories
& i can see i have it within me
they said win’s in me, flow like a hurricane the wind’s in me
was never shy about the sk!ll i possessed or the city that i rep
i’m the -ss-ssin don’t you ever forget
it doesn’t matter how hot the heat is when it burns
this the calm before the storm, they’re waiting for my return

[outro: derrick rose]
n0body believed in me, in the beginning. just me & my friends
me & my friends, my city, & my fans. that’s it. that’s all i need
i wanna be great…
i’m gonna be great…
there’s no doubt about it
