Ballin in Newport (feat. Omen)

[00:02.38] Whether it's 23, 24, 6, 8, 30
[00:10.59] It's all destined for the Hall of Fame
[00:12.34] Been together since age nine, the brothers I never had
[00:15.30] Times forever last inside my paragraphs
[00:18.21] Ballin' in Newport, was barely aware in class
[00:21.19] I'm tryna hoop, my mind stuck in this hourglass
[00:24.01] None of us had our dad, I had my step-pops
[00:27.32] Didn't know what I had, he never flip-flopped
[00:29.60] Don't giving me what I lacked
[00:31.53] When I hit pit stops my family always there
[00:34.15] Studying hip-hop upstairs in my granny pad
[00:37.40] I got a new love and this ain't heaven's dance
[00:40.32] Feeling this avalanche taming in wonderland
[00:42.92] Music's in my blood, the flow is genetic thin
[00:46.25] Poppa was a Motown singin' heartbreaker from the Chi
[00:49.42] Soon to be shot on stage when I was five or six
[00:52.86] Survived it, saw a bright light in silence
[00:55.40] To this day he vividly describes it
[00:57.99] How could I be godless? My mother is a goddess
[01:00.75] Went away to College, now I'm my own pilot
[01:03.78] Brothers that I never had went to different schools
[01:06.59] Now when I feel the blues don't know who to talk to
[01:09.55] Life never came with a walkthrough strategy guide
[01:12.74] Moved out to New York with no family ties
[01:15.74] I'm on my own, no time to watch Family Guy
[01:18.54] I'm tryna blow, exactly how my sanity died
[01:21.44] Tryna get known, thirsting for approval, it's usual
[01:24.88] My pen touch your heart like voodoo
[01:27.14] She said I was boring but the feeling was mutual
[01:30.01] Turn down King, give a fuck what you're used to
[01:32.87] Never ever felt so free
[01:35.82] Never ever felt so me
[01:42.22] (Gangsta Grillz)
[01:44.74] Never ever felt so free
[01:47.76] Never ever felt so me
[01:50.07] (Shit, we ballin' in Newport, free at last)
[01:54.09] (Omen, talk to 'em), yeah
[01:57.28] They say my ambiance is way too nonchalant
[02:00.22] Faced all kinds of times, they thinkin' like dinosaurs
[02:02.92] Loud as tyrannosaurus
[02:04.28] Can't see how I got this far
[02:06.28] Who's the model or prototype I should source?
[02:09.00] Nobody perfect here, what's on the surface?
[02:11.50] Just some shit you work to build but I been searching
[02:14.46] For what's been underneath my shield
[02:16.43] Can't keep worshipping niggas that's unhappy, even if they got athlete
[02:20.36] I always wanted to be even if they'd out-rap me
[02:23.42] More dollar signs, more bitches, I can't exactly
[02:26.45] Follow what you say like it's all satisfactory
[02:29.25] Plus the rich and famous seem to have the most tragedies
[02:31.99] So what's the strategy for happiness now?
[02:34.77] Need the master key, somebody bring Khaled around
[02:37.76] Fuck the past, only focus on what's happenin' now
[02:40.57] 'Less what's happenin' now has got you in debt and doubt
[02:43.56] Know you chasing some dreams but what you chasin' 'em for?
[02:46.42] Every time you remember why you can't take yourself forward
[02:49.31] I've connected with something deeper so now I need more
[02:52.45] Give me peace, give me calm, and a Bentley Azure
[02:55.34] Need a car as classic as these bars
[02:57.68] From afar everything is a star, gotta see with your heart
[03:02.45] (These bars cross you over like number three)
[03:06.59] Never ever felt so free
[03:09.52] Never ever felt so me
[03:11.28] (Dominate the whole game like KD)
[03:15.53] (Make it look flawless like Kyrie)
[03:18.38] Never ever felt so free
[03:21.15] Never ever felt so me
[03:26.53] (Welcome to the dynasty)
[03:28.37] (Gangsta)
