Back

B00sted's song 'Back' is a reflective piece that delves into the artist's journey from his past to his present. The repetitive chorus, 'Back, back, back, back, back to those days,' sets the tone for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's younger years, filled with moments of running in place, both literally and metaphorically. This sense of stagnation is contrasted with the need to set a pace and move forward, highlighting the struggle between staying in a comfort zone and pushing oneself to grow.

The song also touches on the pressures and challenges of growing up. Lines like 'Been growing up way too fast like where is my childhood?' and 'Taking in no revenue, yeah, that's the sneak preview, yeah, of the life you be living' reflect the artist's contemplation of lost innocence and the harsh realities of adulthood. The references to cultural icons like Robinhood and Clint Eastwood, as well as modern-day brands like Gucci, add layers of cultural context, making the song relatable to a wide audience. The mention of 'creating music with some rhymes' at 2 AM signifies the artist's dedication and passion for his craft, even in the face of obstacles.

B00sted also critiques the current state of the music industry, lamenting that 'songs were actually written by the artist, now they are artless, shit.' This line underscores a longing for authenticity and a disdain for the commercialization of art. The song's flow, described as 'flowing good like I am some driftwood,' mirrors the artist's journey—sometimes aimless, sometimes purposeful, but always moving. The vivid imagery and raw emotion in the lyrics make 'Back' a compelling narrative of personal growth, societal critique, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.
