[intro]
If only you knew
What I’ve been through
I swear to god you wouldn’t be talking bout me
The way that you do
I do this shit by myself
LXTR we don’t need no help
Feed us like don’t bite the hand
Alex knows he can explain
We’ve been pouring the pain (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I just be myself and they don’t like it fuck they say
I could die tomorrow you know LXTR here to stay
You be talking game like you got some and we don’t play
I’m just talking all my shit
You don’t even know the year I was born that was
[Chorus]
’96 I was born, ever since
It’s been a ride, no six flags
A fairy tale? I wouldn’t tell
No Disney, I need a princess
Do you miss me?
[verse]
I almost lost daddy in the summertime this time
But I’m worried Imma have to let it go next time
I remember summer 2 O’ 6 that was some time
You would take us by the ocean those were the best times (han)
But now it’s 2018 and I’m 22
Sometimes I stay locked in cause I’m scared of you
But you were scared of your father too It’s nothing new
You go me thinking and thinking: should I be blaming you? What to do?
I almost killed you when I told you my life plan
No I don’t wanna be a doctor, a lawyer, nah nah nah
I just wanna set a precedent cause ain’t no precedent of a black president
I just need father forgive me for all my sins now
I’m on a mission to get it and if you don’t now
Imma tell the truth
Imma show you proof
Imma take it to the roof like it’s summer ’96 that was
[Chorus]
[verse 2]
Pics on my iPhone man I reminisce
Couple questions on my mind: was it always like this?
When did you turn from a father to the monster I’m scared of?
Or maybe that’s just what love’s supposed to be made of (han)
You don’t get it still?
You love the tea I spill
I’m turning just like you my heart is really made of steel
I can bring the future back for the quick snap
VCR, rewind, that was just a flashback
