Yesterday when we were getting high

You were invited, you woulda liked it

Uh uh nah, I know you all too well

We said that we can kiss the past goodbye

But your weren't excited

There's no way to fight it

You can stay shawty but here I go

Should I spend the weekend in vegas

I'm busy living the moment not taking pictures to save it

I mean how could I forget

My memories never faded I can't relate to these haters

My enemies never made it

I am… still here with who I started with

The game needed life, I put my heart in it

I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr sh-t

Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship

Yeah, I'm 23 with a money tree

Growing more too, I just planted 100 seeds

It's ironic cause my mother was a florist and thats how she met my pops

And now my garden is enormous, it's happening penny lane

I said its happening penny lane

Just like you said I avoided the coke game and went with sprite instead

Uh ahh, thats word to the millions that they putting up

I'm trying to do better than good enough!

What am I afraid of

This is what dreams are supposed to made of

The people I don't have time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same sh-t

You promised me you would never change

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

You promised me you would never change

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

Am I wrong for making light of my situation

Clap on when 40 got something for me to snap on

Now that I'm on I dont want to worry about getting back on

I'm just trying to stay on

Get my f-cking buffett on

I heard they jsut moved my grandmother to a nursing home

And I'll be acting like I don't know how to work a phone

But hit redial you'll see that I just called some chick I met at the mall

That I barely know at all and

Plus this women that I mess with unprotected txt us saying she wish she woulda kept it

The one I'm laying next to just looked over and read it

I couldn't tell you where the f-ck head is

I'm holding on by a thread its like I'm high right now

The guy right now and you can tell by looking at my eyes right now

That nothing really comes as a surprise right now

Cause we having the time of our lives right now

What am I afraid of

This is what dreams are supposed to made of

The people I don't have time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same sh-t

You promised me you would never change

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

You promised me you would never change

Oh, huh huh

Oh, huh huh

I live by some advice this girl lissa told me

The other day lissa told me she missed the old me

Which made me question when I went missing

And when I start treating my friends different

Maybe it was the fast pace switch up or the 2 guns in my face during the stick up

Maybe cause I girl I f-cking trusted set the whole sh-t up

But a fact I have'nt seen 'em since they locked big rich up

I know, the same time, I'm quick to forget

Bout to roll me a blunt with my list of regrets

Burn it al burn it all, I'm starting it fresh

Cause half the itme I got it right I probably guessed

Did I just trade free time for camera time

Will I blow all of this money baby, hammertime

Yeah, I just need some closure, aint no turning back for me

I'm in it till it's over
