[Verse 1]

Make believe ain't make believe

Well not blatantly

My minds creating my fate for me

Don't plan to shoot for stars aimlessly

I plant the seeds in which trees will rise and thats growing old but so gracefully

I'm meant to be one of the world's great achievers and lead a nation courageously

But I'm, on some other other type shit

Try it and my brothers might flip

I ain't a bougie lover type chick

Just a get a takeaway and rent a DVD type shit

Oh you ain't a stoner try this

Put you on a cloud where your brain ain't gotta try think about the shit happening around the world

Ain't enough love it's all dimes and pearls

Never been a material kinda girl

Well its very easy to say but if you throw it my way, shit I just might look twice

Staring at that item like that watch is alright

No motivation then the boredom strikes

Calling up Sienna what you saying for tonight

She like I don't know I'm on whatever turn up

Im like say nuttin' grip suttin' burn up


[Pre hook]

And thats the mentality

No intuition or sanity

Lazy my mother is mad at me

Spend money fuck my job salary

Eat nigga fuck burning calories

This ain't no pictures in galleries

This is the realness

Not about standards

Settle for less, settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons


[Hook]

Wherever we go, we go, our soul is here to stay

(Settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)

As long as we know ,we know, to make it count each day

(Settle for less, settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)


[Verse 2]

Make believe, ain't make believe you didn't know

If these niggas are the hottest out, I'm Queen Elizabeth yo

Ain't no mastermind could ever master I

Pass the mic and let me flow

It's just one of them days

Backpack, headphones, runners and shades

Hear it in the bass

We all pray for love (pray for love)

And yet still can't explain it

How the hell does it work, I dunno

We need to read above all these lines, that's not in-between at all (between at all)

But still that won't explain it

Gotta figure it out, you feel me (feel me)

Shit's sounding like a movie

Like emotionally it really moved me

Tryna work out how your seeing through me

What I'm doing is my only duty

To the world and my own community

This is what I choose to be

You should fix up and stop amusing me

Still I act a fool with the team

Still I act a fool when I'm lean

I'm just being me

Truth is all that we talk about

And they wrapped it up when we brought it out and that's


[Pre hook]

And thats the mentality

No intuition or sanity

Lazy my mother is mad at me

Spend money fuck my job salary

Eat nigga fuck burning calories

This ain't no pictures in galleries

This is the realness

Not about standards

Settle for less (settle for less)

Settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons


[Hook]

Wherever we go, we go, our soul is here to stay

(Settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)

As long as we know, we know, to make it count each day

(Settle for less, settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)

Wherever we go, we go, our soul is here to stay

(Settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)

As long as we know, we know, to make it count each day

(Settle for less, settle for less or work hard and be nice in the Hamptons)


[Outro]

(Wherever we go, we go, our soul is here to stay)

(Ohh)

(As long as we know, we know, to make it count each day)

(Each day)
