My dad built houses, my mom painted pictures They both gave it up once I came into the picture Me, I´m like them, just a fifty-fifty mixture
My mom rode horses, she wish I had a sister I prefer the pen to a hammer or a brush But I build things up and my imagery is lush I used to play soccer but I never had the touch Basketball, too, but I ain´t love it that much Much of my time´s spent lookin´ for a rush Tryna find something to afford me that feeling I fall in love with girls ´cause they physically appealing A couple weeks pass and the convos hit a ceiling I´ve smoked a few blunts, cookies, and runtz Gotten high enough to know it isn´t what I want Met the celebrities, seen through the fronts Dated one girl and I´ve seen two at once I ain´t upset to be inside for some months And get back in touch with the person that I was Know I´ve given too much of my time to the chase Tryna get in touch with a person that I lust
So this the perfect time to hang it up Used to sleep until noon now at nine, I´m waking up More time that I´m inside then the less I want to talk I don´t wanna FaceTime, I ain´t tryna say, "What´s up?" Careful with the ways that my time is taken up Bunch of geeks tryna take the shine away from us Reaching for critiques and they tryna say I suck Got me reminiscin´ back to a time I gave a But my skin´s gotten thick since then And my high school crush has done the same thing So when this blows over and I´m back home I´ma tell her that I´m really done playin´ games Seven figures in my bank statements Seven fellas that I´m that stayin´ on the same page with
We been shootin´ for the stars and our aim´s dangerous Hasn´t been a single thing that the gang can´t get My main thing shall remain nameless Know they ask about her often but I ain´t sayin´ shit There´s a level of discretion that I´m maintaining She don´t understand it but she ain´t famous We gon´ see who´s still around once the game changes She´s a business woman but I got her playing favorites You ain´t rooting for me then I gotta make changes Ex girls watchin´ with a lot of fake pages (A lot of fake pages)
My OG showed me what a Plain Jane is And a bust down is, now I got a hankering to spend a few thousand KY used to take me up to Icebox when he´d get his jewelry cleaned They would ask if they could help me and I say "I´m just browsing" Woyne worked at Enterprise Rentals discounted Ville to the A and back, we was putting miles in Always wondered to myself if I could really be a leader of a group of brown-skinned boys when I´m not brown-skinned Certain things they grew up on that they get but I don´t get Differences in how we raised make me feel like I don´t fit Not to mention the distance between our parents´ houses
Shared some money with ´em so they know I care about ´em I´m tryna do it right and figure what a fair amount is But I fantasize ´bout a day that we all swimming in it No contracts and we independent Stay close, never start a convo´ with "It´s been a minute" ´Cause it never will be end the sentence Nemo, that´s my right hand, guides me through my indecisions Vodka in my left hand takes away my inhibitions Way too gone but I´m waking up in mint condition Ready for whatever, got the troops with me in position
