lyrics

Forever On Some Fly Shit

…I want more than just the glory
I’ma tell you where I’m going but I’ll start with my story
Look, I grew up good, never in no hood
The suburban life most wished they could
Have but I’ll admit that I was selfish
Took for granted what I had, wanted more, I couldn’t help it
See, I did what I was told, I mean, most the time
And when I didn’t, a little mercy’s what I hoped to find
But I gotta thank my parents, they were fair and they were just
Everything that they did, they did it out of love
Taught me with good deeds came rewards
And bad behavior was punished, pick your wall
Dad sold computers, moms did the tax
Weren’t rich, just technologically advanced
So I’m humble when it comes to these little gadgets
What my friends didn’t have, I usually had it

The example that they set was that of hard work
They came here to live their dreams and now it’s my turn
…But it took me some time
‘Cause for the longest, I was dealing with the fact that I could die
At any moment, so to cope with, I was zonin’
Only stress that I had, I was smokin’
Now I’m floatin’, 5 years between school, work and homies
Hated being at home but no idea where I was going

…’Til my eyes finally opened
Reevaluated my reflection in these poems
As I look at the years when I was a stranger
What I called “not giving a fuck” was just misplaced anger
At the world…’cause I was the nice guy
Who never got the girl that I liked
…So all I did was feel sorry
Compensated for the lonely void with a bunch of parties
But no amount of liquor could blur out the fact
That I lost sight of my future being caught up in the past
Wondering why it couldn’t last when it was staring right at
Me in my face and now it’s, no more looking back!
… it wasn’t the world, it was me
Seeking approval from people I didn’t need
People who couldn’t see the person that I’d be
They kept fighting with the vision so I threw ‘em the peace!
