Lyrics

[00:08.56] Everything costs something bro
[00:10.79] Winning somewhere, somewhere else you just lost something though
[00:13.99] The cost of opportunities is always good to know
[00:17.37] But if you know that then you're good to go
[00:19.58] Yea, no dreams too big
[00:21.77] Chase anything you have the passion to do
[00:23.47] Only a dream 'till it happens to you
[00:25.11] Finally seeing money now I'm acting a fool
[00:26.81] Never thought touring the world all year would be something I might actually do
[00:30.12] Friends came through got me so high
[00:31.78] I forgot who I was passin' it to
[00:33.45] Party in a mansion splash in a pool
[00:35.14] Reminiscing '06 back in the school
[00:36.53] When my whole crew would come through and rap with us too
[00:38.49] Couple of them been goons, packin in a tool
[00:40.14] Go ahead try and talk shit on me
[00:41.81] I squad up come back with a crew
[00:43.46] Call me a bitch see what that's gonna do
[00:45.15] Fights in the streets like that shit was cool
[00:47.19] Yea, We used to do dumb shit daily
[00:50.10] Dreamed since I was just a baby
[00:51.72] Now I'm here its "Fuck you, pay me"
[00:55.30] I just had enough of waiting
[00:56.73] I worked hard, they stuck with lazy
[00:58.37] If I stayed I'd have just went crazy
[01:00.91] People change
[01:01.78] Everything's in constant motion
[01:03.41] My old girl's across the ocean
[01:05.60] Some stuff fades thats lost devotion
[01:08.39] Some folks stay some come and go
[01:09.93] Ain't what you think it's what you know
[01:11.54] I must run fast you're running slow
[01:13.81] Smoke, break down some kush and roll a dutch
[01:16.81] Right now my vibe's so alive so please
[01:18.89] When we smoke just hush
[01:20.10] Me and some of those who's closest to me haven't spoken much
[01:23.45] Crazy when you learn the cost of blowing up
[01:26.27] Yea
[01:34.79] I know I should keep in better touch
[01:38.66] But that door it never shuts
[01:40.43] Even when we chilled I never said that much
[01:42.83] Sometimes it be worth the bullshit sometimes you should let it flush
[01:46.28] Yea, but when I'm on tour now I just get a rush
[01:49.47] Everything is hella plush
[01:51.80] Get caught up in all the girls I get and stuff
[01:53.54] Meanwhile I see some girls I used to know are getting wed and stuff
[01:56.84] Having kids with full salary jobs while I'm just getting drunk
[02:01.00] Missing every birthday anniversary
[02:03.56] Yesterday my moms got out of surgery
[02:05.99] Wasn't even in town
[02:07.61] Shows and after parties what I've been 'round
[02:10.12] Finding out the news late
[02:11.75] Imagine how that shit sound
[02:13.61] Sit down priorities are all over the place and shit
[02:16.96] Stress levels rise and that J gets lit
[02:19.32] Try on shoes that Jay Z fit
[02:21.00] Fuck all that complacent shit
[02:22.69] I'm just dropping crazy shit
[02:24.31] Trying to outdo those fool who think they can spit
[02:27.38] But I can't even lie
[02:28.42] All this real life shit is passing me by
[02:30.10] Talking to myself and I'm asking me why
[02:31.76] Would I feel better as an average guy?
[02:34.00] But I know that's just a lie
[02:35.46] Pour up a glass and get high
[02:37.12] Wonder if this rockstar life taking a toll on me like I'm asking to die
[02:40.50] Going on tour for 6 months, hug moms right after she sigh
[02:43.84] Look up wish me luck when you see that plane pass in the sky
[02:47.76] No Stress bullshit gets passed to the side
[02:50.54] Working hard to make sure I'mma be the man when I die
[02:53.80] Yea
