๐ Lyrics
I stand in this booth in a moment we call now
At the same time, peddling to school as a child
Under a canopy of jacarandas, it ain't change much
Colorful trees still surround us, L's get touched
Baby-faced, staring out the window of a school bus
20 years later, same wistful look but shackled up
Bearded down, momma kissed his forehead good luck
Tears anoint the crown
He lied to her anyway and toasted that night over pounds
Sterling, whispers in whirlwinds
Polaroid pictures, edges curling, at the auction
The contents of one storage space, sight unseen, going once
16, 17, cracking Philly Blunts
Half the smarts, but twice the heart
Look at the picture, eyes had a spark
Sputtering, at the bar mutterin'
Money comes and goes
Broke today, but tomorrow who knows?
Ten years ago, she was just some hoe
Five years after that, I'm in love
And if you asked me today, I could give a fuck
Go figure
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Sorry I ain't make the wake, yeah, I know
A dollar short and 24 hours late
Trying to live my whole life in '98
Your moms watchin' me clean my plate
But there ain't no seconds
I'm at the ATM emptying my checking
I'm 11 years old firing a weapon
Dad's hand on my shoulder, smoke in my nose
Got older, went from chocolate to dro
Now if it ain't flight, it's a no-go
Bigger, faster, stronger
I seen old friends start working with the po-po
Just goes to show
I could go back, tell myself everything I know
But me at 23 would probably shrug a shoulder
Put stoge to fire like you're preaching to the choir
V-Mega was spitting through the wire
Like, don't even wet that
It ain't about no get-back
We doing digits on Route 90
Late for your wedding
Sitting in the morning sun with that good Otis Redding
This music
This music
Is so much
Is so much bigger than me
Bigger than me
Bigger than me
This music
This music
At the same time, peddling to school as a child
Under a canopy of jacarandas, it ain't change much
Colorful trees still surround us, L's get touched
Baby-faced, staring out the window of a school bus
20 years later, same wistful look but shackled up
Bearded down, momma kissed his forehead good luck
Tears anoint the crown
He lied to her anyway and toasted that night over pounds
Sterling, whispers in whirlwinds

The contents of one storage space, sight unseen, going once

Half the smarts, but twice the heart
Look at the picture, eyes had a spark
Sputtering, at the bar mutterin'

Broke today, but tomorrow who knows?
Ten years ago, she was just some hoe
Five years after that, I'm in love
And if you asked me today, I could give a fuck
Go figure
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Sorry I ain't make the wake, yeah, I know
