Rewind
Embracing Imperfection: Akil Omari's Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Rewind'
Lyrics
I don’t think that I’m perfect
I acknowledge that I am not perfect.
But I know I’m worth it
I recognize my own value and worth.
Tryna prove em wrong
Attempting to prove others wrong.
Ain’t too much I could lose
There isn't much to lose in the pursuit.
I’m gone
I have left or moved on.
Close my eyes, fill the room
Closing my eyes, creating a mental space.
Tell me the truth
Requesting honesty from others.
But please don’t kill my vibe
Asking not to disturb my positive energy.
What’s new
Asking about the latest updates or news.
Rewind rewind
Expressing a desire to go back in time, possibly to correct mistakes or relive certain moments.
Rewind rewind
-Rewind rewind
-Rewind rewind
-Broken bones all in the ground
Reference to broken relationships or struggles.
Richest place on earth
Suggesting that emotional pain is valuable and enriching.
I think I’m lost and found
Feeling lost but also discovering oneself.
Digging for a child, a child
Searching for something meaningful, perhaps representing a quest for identity.
Been digging for awhile
-Young and wild, I know
Acknowledging youthful energy and rebellion.
I can't be no lost cause
Rejecting the idea of being a lost cause.
I’m seeing trees
Observing beauty (trees) but tainted by negativity (blood on leaves).
But so much blood on leaves
-Just let me go right now
Expressing a desire to be released from a situation.
Just let me go right now
-I don’t think that I’m perfect
Reiteration of self-perception, value, and the pursuit of truth.
But I know I’m worth it
-Tryna prove em wrong
-Ain’t too much I could lose
-I’m gone
-Close my eyes, fill the room
-Tell me the truth
-But please don’t kill my vibe
-What’s new
Repetition of the desire to go back in time.
Rewind rewind
-Rewind rewind
-Rewind rewind
-Rewind rewind
-It’s ok
Describing various challenges, substances, and issues in life.
It's alright
-It’s all free
-It’s all pride
-It’s lonely
-It’s all night
-Close your eyes
-Press rewind
-It may be your biggest dream of time
-Be your biggest find
-It’ll be your deepest pain
-When you see, you’ll change your life
-I know pain
-It’s a fight
-It’s the drank
-It’s the ride
-It’s the smoke
-It’s the pills
-It’s fake friends
-It’s the bills
-It may be your biggest dream of time
Reiteration of the transformative power of pain and realization.
Be your biggest find

-When you see, you’ll change your life
-Now go
Encouragement to move forward or take action.
I don’t think that I’m perfect

Expressing a strong desire to go back in time.
Ima go back in time

-Ima go back in time
Reiteration of the longing to go back in time.
