I grew up upper lower class We was always low on cash Hard to believe, we was six deep In a three bedroom one bath Some have nots, ain't have a lot But thankful for what we had Tho at times I was fighting mad Feeling sad now I'm glad Cuz the struggle made us stronger In retrospect wouldn't so bad Wrote it down in my note pad Cuz life a go by so fast Same things that made us cry Are now the things that make us laugh End of the day the memories are the only things that's gone last I'm on a flex I'm wanna be on what's next I wanna storm a castle Join a gang, be the capo Change my name to Oladapo Break the chains and the shackles No more knocking at doors in a lil suit and a book satchel Life can be so demeaning The same time with out meaning I just wanna reminisce looking at pictures while I'm cleaning I don't wanna be a nigga But am I dreamin Don't just wanna be your nigga But am I clingin Relationships can be so silly You fronted me thank you dearly But life really does go on I was 13 when Mr. Spikes recorded our song Now I'm up in age and me God don't really get along That's life Sun still lingers after sundown My world still centers round a sun dial Prolly never see it again in that one town Find me lookin at the pictures when we'd run wild Sun still lingers after sundown World still centers round a sun dial Never see it again in that one town Lookin at the pictures when we run wild I'm on a bench Making art like DaVinci Painting by numbers so simply How can it be, I came up from nothing not anything On a mission not many see They been calling me Skinny since 23 Independent without a pension Or magic jumping jellybeans Been BoB'in it before anyone really knew what the hell it means Relevance is the missing element to anyone who's still developing Keep at it Don't let nobody sell you a dream Even Hellen Keller could smell its a scheme Failure, is a helluva thing The elephant in the room is making one helluva scene Life is a bitch who jealous, even if you call her your wife with a wedding ring Corona and grenadine, in my stomach is so unsettling We're past the point, of no return Unspoken success to me, should mean everything Sun still lingers after sundown My world still centers round a sun dial Prolly never see it again in that one town Find me lookin at pictures when we'd run wild Skrrrrt... I'm on the move, creating music that can soothe The savage beast set the mood Hell bent put the needle on a 12 inch and get in my groove Buffalo pretty sho he dat dude tho it's always room to improve Shooting for the stars landing on the moon Bring it home like he Boov Ain't nothin more for me to prove Made my mom proud made my hood smile stuck my chest out flexin on dee haters like terry cruise Paved the way for the younger dudes now them bumpy roads lookin smooth Eyes to the blue skies wit the orange hues enjoyin the views Seventeen we was running wild I would skip my class it would take a mile Getting educated that was outta style Come to realization it would take a while Shit got heavy when the made a file No one answered when I made a dial Momma like no need to wait around Pack a bag you need to leave the town The cross you out or they gone lay you down No tears can't show a frown You a king to most they gone take the crown Played the shepherd couldn't play the sheep State to state when I had the Jeep Hear my voice they gone know I'm own They gone click my name like a wiki leak Sun still lingers after sundown My world still centers round a sun dial Prolly never see it again in that one town Find me lookin at the pictures when we'd run wild Sun still lingers after sundown World still centers round a sun dial Never see it again in that one town Lookin at the pictures when we run wild
