[Verse 1]
I'm a city kid I grew up on train cars
Lights so bright you could swear it was raining stars
I'm white but I'm hood fresh, so much confidence
Girls cling to me like a shirt when it gets wet
So I just smile and tell them they're beautiful
Cause the ones I know are far from the usual
Life so fast sometimes the edges blur on me
But my friends are always there, they never front on me
I might not have money or fancy cars
But I blast the amp on life like it was a guitar
You want to ride with my girl? I'll take you far as you want
We could go to Paris drink wine and eat croissants
Kiss you on the lips and tell you you're my everything
I got high standards I won't settle for anything
Make sure I have everything remember my Visa
I can't get caught leaning like the tower of Pisa
Haters always try and tell me how to live my life
Go and get you're own find yourself a wife
Doubters look at me and suddenly get their tongue tied
You can't say nothing, don't even try to hide (it)
I always keep it real so nothing is fake
And I go full speed I forgot to fix the brakes
Listen to my messages, I'm so magnificent
I don't have a rap sheet but I'm far from innocent
[Hook: Dwele]
As I recall I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know? (Flashing lights)
As you recall you know I love to show off
But you never thought that I would take it this far
What do you know? (Flashing lights)
[Verse 2]
Life so short so don't waste my time
I only carry tens so I must be dropping dimes
Watch the night unfold people committing crimes
Instead of shooting guns, though, i commit to rhymes
So charismatic you could swear I was the president
And I live on the streets, you can call me a resident
Dropped a fifty for the waiter and said "don't mention it"
Got a bucket at the buzzer, you sitting on the bench and sh**
