Album: Thank Me Later

Track No: 01

Money just changed everything
I wonder how life without it would go?
From the concrete, who knew that a flower would grow?
Lookin' down from the top and it's crowded below
My fifteen minutes started an hour ago
Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shit
When I hear 'em talkin', I just don't know what to make of it
Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracin' it
Doesn't come natural, bear with me, it could take a bit
Yeah, and my dreams are who I'm racin' with
But you can see I'm pacin' it so that I'm always chasin' it
Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with
I hope that my success never alters our relationship
Yeah, this life is somethin' I would die for
October's Own but it's lookin' like July 4
I just wish they'd let you try it first
This time, I'm really goin' off, fireworks
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before
But won't miss them again
I keep havin' the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Takin' off like fireworks
Takin' off like, oh
I'm just such a gentleman
You should give it up for me
Look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery
I could tell it wasn't love
I just thought you'd fuck with me
Who coulda predicted Lucky Strike would have you stuck with me?
Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily
What happened between us that night?
It always seems to trouble me
Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags wanna cover me
And you makin' it seem that it happened that way because of me
But I was curious
And I'll never forget it, baby, what an experience
You coulda been the one, but it wasn't that serious
There was smoke in the air before
That was me clearing it
That felt good
All and all, I learned a lesson from it, though
You never see it comin'
You just get to see it go
Yeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at first
Now I can see it in her eyes, fireworks
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before
But won't miss them again
I keep havin' the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Takin' off like fireworks
Takin' off like, oh
Everythin' the same but it feels different
My dad called me up knowin' that I still listen
And he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin'
It's been years, though
I just learned to deal with it, for real
Me and my realtor
We built up a better rapport
Got my mother in a place with some better decor
She searched the entire city
I let her explore
And now she sayin' she more lonely than ever before
How many of our parents' marriages lasted?
I was only five, I bet I barely reacted
I'm flyin' back home for the Heritage Classic
Searchin' for that feelin', tell me where is the magic?
Let's stay together till we're ghosts
I wanna witness love, I never seen it close
Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first
That's why I'm really goin', off fireworks
Oh, today it begins
I've missed them before
But won't miss them again
I keep havin' the same dream
And I think that I just realized what it means
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
Every night is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
All I see is fireworks
Takin' off like fireworks
Takin' off like, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
