[Verse 1: Bon Voyage]
Went from riding to flying with my crew
Now look everything looks so new
We got a couple brand new endorsements
Coachella press was awesome
2012 wrapped up in a bag
You would think that's enough for me be glad
Momma saying, "Relax, honey relax"
But I can't if I need change still to pump gas
Man these niggas don't, niggas don't understand
What I really be going through
Thankful for these brand new fans, though
I know you feeling we over due
For the top, man we did a lot
Ain't enough for the world, it's a bigger plot
Walk a tight rope line, but I feel the knots
Losing hold at the ends, I could see the drop
Let the needle drop
I'm a chill right here stay walking
Rather transfer my story through a ballpoint
Ballpoint pen, Hilroy papers
Do it till we raking in Hilroy papers
'Til there's a Beau Monde corporate office
Change the weather forecast, see y'all later
That's what I told my old friends on the corners
Came a long way from the Pope John hallways
All day parle, now we cape diem
(DM) my twitter if you want to
I dare you to try to get hold me
Be careful, probably couldn't recognize me, I'm a werewolf
Waiting on my prey to prepare its self for the taking
I'mma grab it indeed cause nothing just come
Shit you gotta work for
Had a clear route, now we gotta detour
Now I see tours and I want to see more
Now I see whores and they want a key for
Hotel rooms, I just want to record
And I ran around world bitch, now my feet sore
Probably got more juice left in me to make a sequel of the movie
Transcending with the same cast, I Sega Dreamcast
Thoughts into fruition hoping your memory just re-laps
Think back, I was riding with my seat back
'9-7 Maxima, now I'm thinking 'bout a 911
It was '08 when the cops came through
Homies set me up said I had gauge who
Would of thought they'd would rob Gee next
While I'm siting right there 4-5 to my chest
No fear in my eye, just a bruise on my pride
But the karma so real I swear nigga doing life, true story
Funny how life change for the glory
Young and want fame in the streets like it's important
Old heads brain wash the young to meet a quota
Caught up in the cycle of up top, we don't know
Any better, we just Scarborough kids
Opportunities there, but we never seen that then
Fucked up cause I wish could see some friends
Ride with me see the world we believed back then
See we was supposed to be making lunch
Easter Sunday, then knocks came from
The door, cops broke it down said don't run we'll blow your head off ambulance gone come
They down stairs, flip round chairs
Keep your hands your head, nigga we'll drive fear
Hide your moms in the stairwell, sister too
'Til we find we what we know you gripping, fool
I'm like, "Fuck ya'll pigs! Then search my house"
Upside down, still can't shake out
What you came here for, break through car doors
If you pop my trunk then you'll find my source
Of light, my light, my light
Found a box full of mixtapes, the fire to my dreams
That's right, that's right, that's right
Tell them haters I bless them, I'll see you in the after-life
[Verse 2: Beck Motley]
I'm a fraction of seconds nearly hit from a car running red that's speeding off
He just missed and I stop and I look back all I hear *tires screech* and he slides right into a car
Night fall, stop the car, emergency the blinker on the urgency what am I thinking of
I nearly lost my life for what the driver thought
Thought red was green, irresponsible
Thoughts walk out of the car for now
I'm thinking, "Wow!"
Could've been my life somehow
I made some vows to chase my dream that I believed
Plus a promise to my father that I would make him proud
Painful thoughts that I think of now
How could I leave behind everything That i ever loved
If it's time, it's time
I'll find, rewind the time
If I was a boy then, I would be the man now
Where I left i love, I brought pain
Thankful for love, and I'd do it again
My best of friend, I can't pretend, Carolyn
Love me unconditionally cause she loved me for me
Took love for granted, demanded that I should be
In a better place in the world to feel free
Obsessed with the chase I was blinded to see
I ignored what she gave five years over dreams
That I thought would fill the void but I'm empty
A lot would be destroyed if I never breathe
Feeling sorry for myself cause I couldn't do
What I had to do when she needed me, in her time of need
Now I bleed, please Lord forgive me
Far from my home I'm alone come and get me
Off of this road this life would commit me
Shades of the grey but it's more than the fifty, get me?
Back to where we land in Vegas
I get message a day before our show
Everybody leaving voicemails on my phone about something
That I need to know, she calls
She alone back home, screaming, "You said you would be here!"
But I wasn't, her mother passed away, she was loving
I had nothing, to say, to keep her calm
Time stops I'm in shock
And I really got to be there I'm supposed to be her rock
It's just her and her mother in this world little girl is alone now and my heart drops
What now, we live to die, but die to live, If God permits I'm off this shit
Coming off with this, lethargic shit
Set up in the middle, spitting riddles is the visual with The Alchemist
Powerful shit
Flight back home I need confidence
I'd admit
First time in a long time feeling nervous and worthless under surface
Wish I had the pill from the Limitless
Give me this, God cause I need answers
Give her strength and hope to fight the abandonment
For you to see this world with me
Meant to be the world for you, you were for me
Thank the Lord you showed me love, you set me free
Your energy it set me free
Instantly beside my dreams, protected me
I'll never lose the love that you gave to me
The path that we had would be incomplete
But I know you need to leave me for the world to see
I know you need to leave me for the world to see
Goodbye, and she smiles
She inspires, and she's patient
Full of life, full of strength, special kind
(She inspires, and she's patient
Full of life, full of strength)
Thoughts are back inside the car
Slowly driving home, count your blessings I tell myself as I drive this lonely road
(Damn, damn, damn, damn)
Damn I been through the worst, seen all the thirst
Out with the pain, mind introvert
Confidence hurts, search for self worth
Comes with a price, lack of numbers
All this advice, one should wonder
They love you for you or love for what works
Red for green, blood for money
But go for gold if it's in front of you already
But go for gold if it's in front of you already
I said, but go for gold if it's in front of you already
Count your blessings
