y’all reminding me of Spike Lees
not even in the game and still they wanna fight me
just a bunch Spike Lees
not even in the game and still they wanna fight
i got
punchlines for centuries
end the talks when they mention me
got more flows (floors) than apartments while y’all remind me of a mezzanines
— enemies sending me all this negative energy
cuz im balling like Reggie, while you ball like vesectomies
i got heaven here on earth so y’all just talk for the hell of it
if my name aint on yo list well then that list is irrelevant I’ve been
ignoring melanin only looking at skeletons
my songs getting me dimes - when i aint even selling it
oh you tryna produce, you think your Kanye?
oh you tryna sing too, you think you Andre?
nahh bae -- but i am that dude thats always on stage
putting on a motherfuckin show like it was Broadway
all day - you doing the most
so its cool if you hate me, cuz theres a lot more that don’t
they say that light travels faster than sound
i guess thats why you seemed so bright until you opened your mouth
VERSE 2
y’all reminding me of spike lee
not even in the game and still they wanna fight me
y’all reminding me of spike lee
sitting court side but ill still give you nosebleeds
I’ve never had a goal that i aint accomplish
I’ve never met a mind that i aint astonished
They hear my songs and I got em Thunderstruck
so now they // OK seein(OKC) me change the game when i play my Sonics
KEEPUP, I’m putting banners in rafters
sacrificing now so i can go look back at it after
I’m tryna go and reach the masses like I’m acting as pastor
so if you wanna be the best you chose a bad time to be a rapper
when i was young i used to pray for this
people talk a lot but I’m the only person saying shit
i could do a country song and probably still make a hit
then show up at the grammys looking fly because my Taylor Swift
i quit the team and i still got game
i sit the bench and i still got play
never gonna matte when you talking on a sideline
or the timeline gotta beta use of my time
so say ya peace
i’ll make a feast
outta anybnody com in with the trash talk
back off everyone a critic when they sitting on a laptop
but I’ma make moves while you chillin in the back drop

Why don't you just come on over
Why don't you just stay with me
Life is gorgeous and you add to the scenery
but Im not sure of what you mean to me
i ain't known of you for some time
but it don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine
so i gotta know — yea i gotta know
are you looking for a deity on the honor roll?
with a lotta dough, (pockets full) always down to go
or do you just want someone with common goals
are you looking for one man or one night?
someone who stays, or leaves before the sunlight?
this aint' a court room, no judgment from me
but the juries out - i need a testimony
have you been with a rapper before?
if i came to your city would you see me on tour?
see i had a metaphor but i think i met a ten
so theres something i gotta ask before the night end
why don’t you just come on over
why don’t you just stay with me
i can give you more than everything you need
whats he got that i don’t got girl
give me just a thing or two
i do not have all the answers
but theres no question what we should do
are you high on life, or are you down on ya luck
do you wanna make out, or do you wanna ..
Lay under the stars and just stare up at affection
the night said that it's young I’m relaying the message
ya feel good? or ya down on ya luck
do you wanna make out, baby or do you wanna ..
Lay under the stars and just stare up at affection
don’t think long these are simple questions
VERSE 1
she told me tag her in the photo
so she can see me whenever she clicks the logo
they say goodbye as I’m boarding the plane
we promise to stay in touch but know it won’t be the same
see i haven’t seen my best friends since pursuing rap
the last time i saw my home was on google maps
— feels like this new start has brought the old to an end
I love where I’m at, but *its like i* I’ve lost where I’ve been
i try to keep relationships through snapchat
but nowadays neither of us really snap back
guess we can’t live off emojis and texts its
funny how wifi makes me feel disconnected
forget it….my pride is what I’m swallowing
so now I’m speaking like the instagrams I’m following
no filter, my blood grows thinner
I’m cold even living in a place with no winter
she calls me scared like she’s using up her life line
begins to cry as we both staring at the night sky
we may be far but we’re looking at the same moon
just gimme time - we’ll have new moments for this frame soon
VERSE 2
I’ve missed 3 weddings and a graduation
feel like i just need to get back to basics
trading seconds for a stack of pages
getting caught up from a lack of patience
i never couldve seen myself in this position
its everything i dreamed but sometimes it feels like shit is missing
see i remember coming home from my visit
telling my mom theres not a chance that i would go there forget it
and well
its been a year since i went n made the Houston move
with the homies screaming know i had to do it to em haaaa
A new circle - gotta curve em if they aint straight
cuz these squares always getting twisted like a rubix cube
the best year of my life,
wouldn’t trade it for a moment through the tears and the strife
can’t believe what I’ve been blessed with,
can’t believe what has been tested
and even through all the lessons
man y’all still won’t get the message
I’m just saying
sometimes its hard to be away
i see my brother getting buckets in his varsity game
and my other brothers number one in his high school class
our lives are flying through fast
just wish that I knew that
he says i wish you couldve seen it, and it breaks my heart
its like i built up this love, and now its taken apart
so now I’m living through pictures, scrolling through anything i might miss
wishing i could do a little more than like it
