BIG BOY

I still remember writing words down
Tryna get 'em all out of my mouth
Big boy, you a big boy now
Big boy, you a big boy now
Don't pout 'round me
Don't cry 'round me
Don't laugh around me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
If I had another
I'm a bad motherfucker
Got love for my mother
The city that protect me
I don't fuck with y'all like I used to though
But you could come around for the Houston baby, oh
I still remember writing words down
Tryna get 'em all out of my mouth
Big boy, you a big boy now
Big boy, you a big boy now
Don't pout around me
Don't cry around me
Don't laugh around me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
Who the hell am I?
Who the hell are you?
Don't waste my time, I got shit to do
Been in love with you, don't know what to do
Still searchin' for the truth, every which-way
Mental foreplay
Bound by cuffs to you
Do it my way
Like everything I do
Take my breath away
Don't let me fade away
May die before I wake
Not the type to play
I take, and take, and take
Never wanna change
Always wanna change
Used to count my change
Everybody changed
Memories of the days
I was young at heart
Matters of the heart
Re-arranged, reactions in my brain
Re-define my pain
Been wishing I could change
Hard to change my ways
Trained a certain way
Afraid of my own fate
Just another face
Lost 'cause and a lost child
Lost my way tryna change for the wrong crowd
I'm weak and I'll say it proud
Built me up, pull me down, lets air it out
Patch me up, and stitch it
Make me better
Just patch me up, and stitch it
Make me better (make me better)
What a day, what a day
I just had a dream that you took it all away (ayy)
Blow smoke in the face
I just hope you're lil' bro grow up to be great
What a day, what a day
I just had a dream where you took it all away (ayy)
Blow smoke in the face
One in the clip, and one in the chamber
We was riding in the dark, you were putting your legs up (legs up)
Girl, I don't know, maybe I should just stay shut (stay shut)
Did I ruin your life baby, even from day one one?
If it was another life, maybe you could still save us
I still remember writing words down
Tryna get 'em all out of my mouth
Big boy, you a big boy now
Big boy, you a big boy now
Don't pout around me
Don't cry around me
Don't laugh around me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
He ain't shinin' like me
He ain't shinin' like my cousin
