Annotate [Verse 1] Money just changed everything I wonder how life without it would go From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow Looking 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 talking I just don't know what to make of it Hate is so familiar to me I'm slowly embracing it Doesn't come natural, bare with me it could take a bit Yeah and my dreams are who I'm racing with You can see I'm pacing it so that I'm always chasing 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 something I would die for October's Own, but it's looking like July 4 I just wish they'd let you try it first This time I'm really going off, fireworks
[Hook] Oh, today it begins I've missed them before, but won't miss them again I keep having the same dream And I think that I just realized what it means
[Alicia Keys] All I see is fireworks Every night it's fireworks Taking off like fireworks Taking off like
[Verse 2] 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 can 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 blogs want to cover me And you making 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 in all, I learned a lesson from it though You never see it coming, 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
[Hook]
[Verse 3] Everything's the same, but it feels different My dad called me up knowing that I still listen And he's still got his foot out, guilt tripping It's been years, though, I just learn 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's saying she's more lonely than ever before How many of our parents' marriages lasted I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted I'm flying back home for the Heritage Classic Searching for that feeling, tell me where is the magic Let's stay together til we're ghosts I want to witness love, I never seen it close Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first That's why I'm really going off, fireworks
