Boi-1da - The Resistance lyrics

[Intro] Yesterday when we were getting high You were invited, you woulda liked it I, I, I know you all too well I said that we could kiss the past goodbye But you weren't excited There's no way to fight it You can stay but shorty here I go [Verse 1] Should I spend a weekend in Vegas? I'm living inside a moment, not taking pictures to save it I mean, how could I forget? My memory's never faded I can't relate to these haters My enemies never made it I am still here with who I started with The game needed life, I put my heart in it I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr sh** Carry the weight for my city like a cargo ship I'm 23 with a money tree Growing more too, I just planted a hundred seeds It's ironic cause my mother was a florist And that's how she met my pops And now my garden is enormous "It's happening, Penny Lane, just like you said!" I avoided the coke game and went with Sprite instead Uh-huh, that's word to the millions that they putting up I'm trying to do better than good enough [Hook] What am I afraid of? This is supposed to be what dreams are made of But people I don't have the time to hang with Always look at me and say the same sh** They say "You promised me you would never change" "You promised me you would never change" [Verse 2] Am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on? When 40 got some sh** for me to snap on, now that I'm on I don't really want to worry about getting back on I'm just trying to stay on, get my f**ing buffet on I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home And I be acting like I don't know how to work a phone But hit "redial", you'll see that I just called Some chick I met at the mall that I barely know at all and Plus this woman that I messed with unprotected Texted saying she wished she would have kept it The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it Man, I couldn't tell you where the f** my head is I'm holding on by a thread It's like I'm high right now, the guy right now And you could tell by looking in my eyes right now That nothing really comes as a surprise right now Cause we just having the time of our lives right now [Hook] What am I afraid of? This is supposed to be what dreams are made of But people I don't have the time to hang with Always look at me and say the same sh** They say "You promised me you would never change" "You promised me you would never change" [Verse 3] I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me The other day Lissa told me that she missed the old me Which made me question when I went missing And when I started treating my friends different Maybe it was the fast paced switch up Or the two guns in my face during the stick up Maybe cause a girl I thought I trusted Was who set the whole sh** up But in fact I haven't seen them since they locked Big Rich up I know but same time I'm quick to forget I'm 'bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed Did I just trade free time for camera time? Will I blow all of this money baby, hammer time? Yeah, I just need some closure Ain't no turning back for me, I'm in it 'til it's over
