[Verse 1]

Where do your dreams live?

Mine are still in Kingsville

Granny died up on that hill

She ain't get to see me make my first mil'

Or tell her daughter how I actually feel

I did a roach recently after a show

Out in Florida, we never done that before

Drove past the place I used to live at when I was four

When your heart gets to goin', you know how nostalgia goes

Writing emails to my dad when I was five

Hopped on AIM, hoping he hopped online

Is he finally finna tell me 'bout his other family this time?

And if not, we laugh it off like, "Oh, it's fine"

That's what my mama used to tell me all the time

What you mean I got a sister and she nine?

Who lying? What's lying?

Nigga, stop crying, in my bedroom with my thoughts

I be flying like, "Damn, when I grow up, I'ma be so fucking famous"

Ain't no way you can keep hiding me, nigga

This magic, I'm off being Simpson

Superstar, this magic, magic, magic


[Interlude]

So I'm tryna write about, like

My dad had, like

One foot in, one foot out type shit

And I thought it was cool when I younger I was like

Oh, I ain't like them other niggas

I like them other niggas, my life different

My daddy love me, that's how I felt

My daddy love me, that's how I felt


[Verse 2]

Was-was-was-was running 'round with thugs

Always had a crush on them

Watch what cost your money, some was burning on my skin

Girlfriend at the time had a crush on a nigga

With some skin darker than mine

And his dick bigger than mine

Kevin, do you fuck niggas? (Kevin, do you fuck niggas?)

I say all dick taste the same, little bitch (Fuck nigga)

Get the fuck up off my dick, little bitch (Fuck nigga)

Came from the mud, ended up (Rich nigga, ayy)

Got my niggas on my back, glory, this ain't coming back

Hold me back, I'm finna spaz

Dedicated to my dad

Every problem that he had, I inherited with pride

See me shine, see me glide, see me ride, see me—

All this pain it makes me smile (All this pain it makes me smile)

All this pain it makes me smile, been in this movie since I was a child

It's like the Texas "8 Mile" with a little "Brokeback"

When the metric slowed down, who was there to keep track?

My 1999 memories with you was like Will and Carlton

Blockbuster and Tarzan

Man, you left before my story even started

So I turned into Beverly (Who?)

Hollywood's darling


[Outro]

So I

I had to- had to do what I had to (I mean, is that really accusatory? Like-)

I left Texas, I left Georgia

Went to California with all my niggas (Kevin, do you fuck niggas?)

I said, "Look, if I'ma do it, I'ma do it big, real big"

Show my daddy what it is (Kevin, do you fuck niggas?)

Make him show his bitch (Bravo, bra-vo)

That's what it is (I mean, is that really accusatory? Like-)

You gon' have to- You gon' have to tell your whole goddamn family about me, nigga! (I'm not being articulate)

That's how it felt (Kevin, do you fuck niggas?)

That's how it felt (Ke-Ke-Kevin, do you fuck niggas?)

Ayy y'all, y'all still gotta ask me silly-ass questions like (Do you fuck niggas?)

Kevin!

Do you?
