VERSE 1: [Ogden Payne]
Can I get a one time
Can I get a two time
I'm about to fly to the sky and ain't nobody changing my mind
Cause I'm a big boy now, gotta do it on my own
But it's so hard to move on from a place that I've known for so long
They tell me that I'm wrong
They tell me I ain't working hard enough
But if I want the things I want then I'm gonna have to toughen up
But I'm just an only child
Trying to be a big brother
I'm just a bachelor trying to find my significant other
They say, “Boy you best love her”
And make lots of money
But I find it funny they think you're a dummy
If you love on people more than you love money
Cause some want to play young Ogden like he's dumb
Oh no don't do that, not Ms. Wallace's son
Cause I'mma be on point until kingdom come
And Jesus himself wrap me up in his arm
And tells me “Well done”
And I see my grandma it's been way too long
I promise I've been good, I don't do no wrong
And I'm watching my mouth and I pull up my pants wh
En I talk out the house
And I read my Bible everyday
And I feel you each step of the way
But Momma's been lost since you moved way up here
And I know it's been years but she's still shedding tears
And she knows that you still love her but she still
Feel guilty
I don't know what to do Grandma it's gonna k** me
To know that I won't have your cooking no more
And I won't ever see you come walk through that door
On East 7th Avenue, I miss not having you
I'mma buy that neighborhood and I'll name it after you
I know that you've been with me, I can hear you in my ear
And since I never said I love you, I'm gonna have to say it here

Because we can't change who we are
But I hope that it's been worth it, cause we came too far
Because we can't change who we are
But I hope that it's been worth it, cause we came too far
This one's for the people, this one's for the lovers
This one's for all the boys and girls who need each other
This one's for the broken, who will never give up
This one's for you in case you don't hear it enough

You're special to me, special to me
I said you're special to me, oh so special to me
I said you're special to me, you're special to me
I said you're special to me, oh so special to me
VERSE 2:
Okay now I've been baptized twice but didn't change until you left me
So if I keep living like this, my pride's gonna be the d**h of me
So go and catch that flight to find your life overseas
But I hope the day that you come back, that you come running back to me
Because we

BRIDGE: [Ogden Payne]
Sometimes you just gotta tune out, listen to a new song
Get your good shoes out, go and get your groove on
I heard that you're just trying to move out, cause
You just want to move on
Looking for a new house, when you really need a new home
