[Verse 1] It’s like ’09 in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn’t ready And your back hurt, and your neck hurt, and you smoking heavy And I sit next to you, and I lecture you ‘cause those are deadly And then you ask shit and we argue about spending money on bullshit And you tell me I’m just like my father, my one button, you push it Now it’s “Fuck you, I hate you, I’ll move out in a heartbeat” And I leave out and you call me, you tell me that your sorry You love me, and I love you, and your heart hurts, mine does too And it’s just words and they cut deep but it’s our world, it’s just us two I see painkillers on the kitchen counter, I hate to see, it all hurt so bad But maybe I wouldn’t have worked as hard If you were healthy and it weren’t so bad Uh, maybe I should walk up the street, and try and get a job at the bank Cause leave it up to me, J, and Neeks, we’re probably gonna end up robbing a bank Then Wayne calls on my phone, conversation wasn’t that long Gets me a flight to Houston in the morning Oh it’s my time, yeah, it’s on He’s thinking of signing me, I come home We make a mixtape with seventeen songs I almost get a Grammy off of that thing They love your son and that boy gone You get the operation you dreamed of And I finally send you to Rome I get to make good on my promise It all worked out girl, we shoulda known Cause you deserve it
[Hook] This shit real, should I pinch you? After all the things that we been through, I got you Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done Look what you’ve done for me now You knew that I was gonna be something We stressed out, and you need some, I got you Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done
[Verse 2] It’s like ’06 in your backyard and I’m in love with Jade And I’m still in love, just wasn’t that real, so then it doesn’t fade And my father living in Memphis now he can’t come this way Over some minor charges and child support that just wasn’t paid Damn, boo-hoo, sad story, black american dad story Know that I’m your sister’s kid but That still don’t explain the love that you have for me I remember sneaking in your pool after school dances Damn your house feel like the Hamptons For all of my summer romances I never really had no one like you man this all new, Shh Made the world I knew bigger, changed the way that I viewed it Had all this fighting going on at the crib You calm me down when I lose it Told you I think I’m done acting, I’m more in touch with the music You said either way I’ll be a star, I could go so far Talked to me, to you got to me you You tossed the keys and loaned me your car Yeah, just a young kid in a drop top Lexus hopin’ that I don’t get arrested Just another kid thats goin’ through life So worried that I won’t be accepted But I could do anything, you said that, and you meant that You took me places, you spent that, they said no, we went back Checks bounce but we bounce back I put all the money in your accounts back And I thank you, I don’t know how it’d really be without that It worked out man You deserve it
