[Intro]
Some of the realist sh** I ever wrote...
[Verse]
The night was still young when our relationship first begun
Conversations about our aspirations were strong
REMEMBER Ludacris, Pimpin' All Over The World
That was our song, man, what went wrong?
Looking back, I wish we didn't prolong all the things
We wanted to do Tokyo is now an impossible view
I know deep down it's bothering you
Several years apart weakened the connection we shared
REMEMBER, when I said I want to be, an academic instead
You said go ahead, but I was young and lost
Trying to follow family traditions
Our obsessions, taught us valuable lessons:
Work hard to acquire them luxury cars
I guess you misinterpreted
Become another victim of the system
Painted the picture vivid, never timid
Moved out on your own, kneeled down on one knee
Six months later, I heard the news
I was real confused, I guess, life escalated exponentially
It took me back retrospectively
You don't even know what I mean
But I'll pretend like there's no difference
REMEMBER, we were on a mission
Somehow I ended up being a mathematician
You started shifting boxes at a warehouse
To keep the lights on in your own house
Living with your future spouse
I miss the days when we used to hoop around
With no care in the world
Living our lives through the videos we saw
Always kept it raw, organic in our approach
We used to have the same basketball coach
It was destined to happen, I should have known
Positioned at the top of the key, we never travelled alone
Up in your face like a two-three zone
Man, I miss the days when we used to hoop around
