[Verse] From the city of the lost dreams Just a kid tryna get a taste of that ice cream Worked so hard when i hit my teens Its like i switched up when i started cruisin' in the beam To be honest i really haven't been working hard I been slackin on sh**, sittin' around like a birthday card I ain't perfect, yeah i've got my flaws But i promise i will drop them jaws (yeah i will drop them jaws) Yeah I've been tryna move ahead in life Do everything right But been doing everything wrong When will i learn how to get it right Stressful nights thinking how am i gon' pay these bills School tryna up my brain cells but all it does is k** Was floating in the sky above the clouds Now it feels like i'm falling to the bottom Like leaves from trees in the autumn All my problems man i'm tryna resolve 'em I heard the haters telling lies but acted surprised when i caught 'em Damn, Its been 4 years Pursuing music as a career Now i'm 18 With the same dream Barely any progress but that will be changing 'Cause i'm done playing around Its time to leave the sandbox and go explore the town Want to grab the mic so you can hear me loud So you can hear me clear So you can shed a tear With me No hood raps but the hood feel it This right here for the spirit I know you can feel it I'm speaking on things you been holding in for a minute And i ain't finished I'll admit i always seeked for approval from others Everyone and they mothers But its time to say f** that and put on for my brothers 'Cause we got each other (yeah, cause we got each other) So i gotta do my part Shoulda done it from the start Some of my n***as, man we grew apart 'Cause i didn't stay true to my heart I'm still in the same place while they moved on So i sat down and i wrote this song To let them know that i'll be catching up So we can reunite, so we can talk, so we can say what up So we can catch up on our lives at a pub Drink a little, we never really was with the d**
