Yeah

Growing up I used to wanna be my uncle Wayne

Until I saw his body layin' in the grave

Rest in peace

Growing up I used to want a Jeep Wrangler

Haha

Until I got to drive a Range

Growing up I used to have a lot of friends

**** 'em all

Until I saw the money change 'em

Growing up I used to want a lot of h*es

Until I met Ben Franklin

Haha

I'm writin' this from a place that you ain't heard about

And you can only come here through the word of mouth

That's real

Growing up I used to tell my ma "I'll work it out"

I worked it out but now still somehow **** ain't working out

Real ****

Growing up I watched my favorite rappers' interviews

I ain't believe 'em when they said it ain't all what it seems

But now I'm here and realize they were tellin' truth

'Cause you sacrificed yourself for everybody's needs by any means

I'm married to the game for this diamond ring

And I spend more time with her than anybody else it seems

Courtside with my ***** we can't see the nosebleeds

Afterparty Bootsy Bellows h*es make they nose bleed

Always stressin' 'bout my brother I know this **** hard on him

Always stressin' 'bout my mama but I know that God got her

I'm stressin' out more now than what I did at rock-bottom

And I'm blowin' more clouds hopin' that'll help stop it

It's all smoke and mirrors with these *******

It's all smoke and mirrors with 'em all

For real haha

Promised the world and delivered me an atlas

But I guess that's how it goes

Ooh I don't know why I can't believe it

Oh yeah

Oh nothin' ever is in season oh

Ooh

I thought my nightmares were my dreams

Ooh I don't believe

This ain't what it seems no no

Hey Charlton been tryin' to call

It's Mom

Just wanted to check up and say "I miss you"

Call me back when you get a chance

Love you

We been to hell and back together you're my closest friend

Uh

**** you probably know me better than

I know myself and you're the reason why I never rest

I walk into the crib high as hell head full of stress

I love you even though sometimes I forget to text

I'd give everything even if it means I have nothing left

And even at your worst for us you tried your best

And all this **** that we went through together I just won't forget

You check me when I spend lots of money that I make

You tell me you won't ever let me make the same mistakes

You makin' sure we had it good and then we lost it all

A year later hidin' narcotics in the wall

Of the apartment we was livin' in in King's Cross

Always thought my uncle was a boss

But now he up with God I thought he was invincible

Ninth grade turned around and said "**** my principal" and dropped out

And this was at the time that we ain't have a house

And me and you was sleepin' on the separate ends of Louie's couch

I would go to JD's to make music end up passing out and wake up with my back sore

Callin' tryna figure out just where you at **** made me mad

Seein' you in the back of the ambulance to the hospital

I thought you weren't comin' back

Next mornin' walked in just like nothing happened

You'd never admit the problems that you had

And tell me that I'm bein' crazy if I ever asked

But now I got my own problems and I understand

'Cause I try to protect you from anything bad

I understand

Ooh I don't know why I can't believe it

Oh yeah

Oh nothin' ever is in season oh

Ooh

I thought my nightmares were my dreams

Ooh I don't believe

This ain't what it seems no no
