[Verse 1]
Visions of living great, liberty over fate
Tryna keep my head above water lest I suffocate
f** all these consequences; take all the luck I make
All this food for thought got me praying I don't drop the plate
My mind over matter, Mind no matter to foes
Give my opponents calluses I keep ‘em on their toes
Always move with the squadron, day or night keep it moving
Plus my whole team tinted, haters don't get a look in
Living fast, dying young, that's the motto where I'm from
When in doubt, make it count, do it how it should be done
Feeling like I'm Simon, they do it because I said it
These haters tryna cash in just so they can get some credit
But my mother raised me well, these streets made me able
Been the man of the house since I grew out of my cradle
If we ever disagree we settle it at the table
Cause shouting'll leave you horse and have you looking unstable
And like 2,3,5 I'm still in my prime
So when they asking what's the wait, I'm like all in good time
And when that money gets to coming, and these vultures get to running
Then I swear to God I could be changing my mind
Though I'm still tryna make strides like everywhere I tread
So if I say cheese know we bring in more bread
My mother always told me to keep a level head
So my girls period's the only time I see red
[Hook]
If you see me on the grind ain't no telling where I've been
Roaming around town, I got nothing but a dream
All my people dream big so we do it for the team
I got money on mind, you should know just what I mean
When we talking ‘bout Lightyears
Know we'll be living right here
It ain't gonna take Lightyears
Before we doing alright yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
I'll be gone till November, I'll be gone to November
Hope i'm coming back colder than the weather in December
But these, bright lights, make it hard to remember
Why I'm all around the world strumming chords on my fender
Still in search of that treasure chest, ball ‘till there's nothing left
Only fools self-destruct, wise ones chase their d**hs
When I started rapping that's the day I started saying less
Treat my words like currency ain't it right that I save my breath
And with success some relationships sour
n******gs start throwing sh**, I stay smelling like flowers
But still my single focus is what this money endowers
I'm dreaming of foreign models and champagne showers
But still in search of all the glitz there ain't no glamour
I saw a few old friends on an old camera, thinking
Cause nowadays the company I keep just don't have the same presence
My god I miss the old Santa
And this game is like going to battle and try as hard as you may sometimes it has to unravel
I can never be judged as hard as you hit the gavel
I'm trying to go the distance the greatest have all travelled
But you can't see it all by taking a few glances
All the information don't leave you with all the answers
And even if they hate, they really just hate to love it
They can never pull me under, forever we rise above it
[Hook]
If you see me on the grind ain't no telling where I've been
Roaming around town, I got nothing but a dream
All my people dream big so we do it for the team
I got money on mind, you should know just what I mean
When we talking ‘bout Lightyears
Know we'll be living right here
It ain't gonna take Lightyears
Before we doing alright yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
