[Intro: Sample]

By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear

I know not when, I know not why

[Verse 1]

The other day, I had brunch with Cupid

We were bumping Q-Tip while we cued clips

Of beautiful cruise ships, swaying to the waves

We were too lit

I told him that I prayed for the day that my wings made me lose grip

Without being afraid

If I fell into hell, I'd start flapping 'em

But if I get distracted, I would meet the same fate

Cause Icarus did and he was going the other way

My predicament is keeping that balance

After reaching the plateau

After leaving the path so many people have traveled

After seeing them plaques go

Ridiculous, platinum and gold

I love hip-hop, don't ever wanna get divorced

You stayed with me when everybody else dispersed

Was it accidental when the arrow went through my temple?

I was listening to instrumental

I guess u were the one for me in the universe

[Hook]

I guess I'll never learn how to conform and settle for the norm, I was born unique

No, never, never learn how to be dormant in a dorm taking courses that do nothing for me

I guess I'll never learn how to give up on my dreams

No, never, never learn how to give up on my dreams

[Verse 2]

I had a date with destiny

Spilled my drink on her dress, then she checked me

I told her it was an accident, why she overreacting?

I'm a catch, bitch don't ever disrespect me

She asked me do you ever kiss your mother with that mouth?

I said yeah, every time I leave the motherfucking house

To go where, to school? aren't you a junior now?

Don't tell me what I am, I'm Ferris Bueller with the crown

Then we argued 'bout my future plans

I got the Midas touch and you are just Medusa

Hand me the reigns so I could maneuver as a newer man

I gotta persevere, quite frankly you already lost control

You're the worst puppeteer, you're a hoe

Fucking dreams and careers

I'ma stroll to my steer

I don't pose, I'm just here

Centerfolds, chandeliers

Let me go, she did out of fear

[Hook]

I guess I'll never learn how to conform and settle for the norm, I was born unique

No, never, never learn how to be dormant in a dorm taking courses that do nothing for me

I guess I'll never learn how to give up on my dreams

No, never, never learn how to give up on my dreams

[Bridge]

By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear

I know not when, I know not why

So, I gotta get it now

[Verse 3]

I had a meeting with the Reaper

We were very faded smoking Jack The Ripper

Contemplating whether life or death was realer

We talked for hours on top of the clocktower

Got devoured by darkness that shrouded

Every particle that was ours in the arena

After a while, I realized that I would never know alive

And I would always be

So unless I meet a poltergeist that tells me otherwise

This is my philosophy

I'ma fill up lots of seats

They gon' feel the knock thumping like my knuckles bouta bleed

All that heart got the crowd jumping using shutter speed

Check the box that is other on the beat

Unorthodox, he gripped his scythe

And then he grinned, like you're never gonna win, sike

You're the one, go have fun, go motherfucking dumb

But never forget what comes with your ability, get it done

[Hook + Bridge: Sample]

I guess I'll never learn

No, never, never learn

I guess I'll never learn

No, never, never learn

By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear

I know not when, I know not why
