[Verse 1: XV]
|
Countin' my blessing watching Inception
|
But I'm living one of those scenes
|
Where everyone knows it ain't real except him
|
They can't convince him to believe
|
I know this life with all the lights and how it ain't true
|
But fuck it, I don't wanna leave
|
Cause you can never have deja vu
|
If you don't ever dream
|
Uh, successful stories never told to us
|
Tryna make ends cause we never got what was owed to us
|
School never grown on us, Pops never shown on us
|
Open sesame, see the street never closed on us
|
Moved white, and didn't see much green like a ski slope
|
Now I see so much green that I could be Hulk
|
And people think I relocated on the East Coast
|
But I still hold it down in the town I speak for
|
Towing my city behind me like it was repoed
|
In a game full of sharks but there ain't no cheat codes
|
XV can take a hike, I'm Tim Tebow
|
Matrix Reload, face it, he cold
|
Rep the 316 I'm 7 30 in the mind
|
I'm that dude hands down, 6 30 when I rhyme
|
I'm a 235, always in my prime
|
And it's 4.15, meaning it's my time
|
Was I a nerd cause niggas acted like dim wits
|
Or was I truly just gifted in academics
|
To get that with these lyrics that I was rapping like christmas?
|
I could number 2 on all of the doubters up on my shitlist
|
Pissed my little brother has to miss this
|
Told my momma she'll never watch from the sofa
|
Tell my haters, hit record on they remote controllers
|
Until til my totem falls over
|
|
[Hook:]
|
This is the life that I never will forget
|
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
|
So I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick
|
I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick
|
|
This is the life that I never will forget
|
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
|
So I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick
|
I'm just sittin back, waiting for the kick
|
Wait for it...
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Lord can I change my life with these sentences
|
When I got boys doing life cause of sentencing
|
I'm dealing with it every night, that's what penance is
|
Barred like Bruce Willis but Die Hard With A Vengeance kid
|
And I'm in this party where all these women is
|
Tryna find where niggas with dollar bills and Benzes is
|
Finally left what I wanted for what I needed
|
Can't be the girl of my dreams if you don't close your eyes to see it
|
The road less travelled, where both of us were headed
|
Said it would kill us, I told you I won't let it
|
When my life was plain, most bitches jetted
|
You said boy I've been down like toe touch stretches
|
I even set expectations and you never ever met it
|
But I gave you my heart you ain't even call a medic
|
Now she telling me to leave her alone
|
But I can't like she got bad credit
|
I guess it's deaded with me and you both have left it
|
In eternal sunshine but my spotless mind won't forget it
|
So I accept it and pray no-one intercept it
|
Given the globe my soul and hope everybody accept it
|
Making it is never what you expected
|
I told my girl she'll never watch from the sofa
|
Tell my haters hit record on they remote controllers
|
Until my totem falls over.
