Album: Thank Me Later

Track No: 03

Yesterday when we were getting high
You were invited, you would've liked it
I-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 shawty, here I go
Uh, 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 shit
Carry the weight for my city like a cargo ship
Uh, I'm twenty-three 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-uh, that's word to the millions that they putting up
I'm trying to do better than good enough
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 shit
They say, "You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh
"You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh
Uh, am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on
When 40 got some shit for me to snap on
Now that I'm on, I don't really want to worry 'bout getting back on
I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking 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 "re-dial", 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've kept it
The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it
Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck 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
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 shit
They say, "You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh
"You promised me you would never change"
Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh (Well, alright)
Uh, I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me
The other day, Lissa told me that she miss the old me, uh
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start 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 shit 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 till it's over
