[Intro]

I took a trip out to Melrose

The whole city's strange in the daylight

My old plug he still wears the shelltoes

I left home for cocaine and French fries

(Yeah...)

[Hook]

I took a trip out to Melrose

The whole city's strange in the daylight

My old plug he still wears the shelltoes

I came home with cocaine and French fries

My bitch bad but she falls asleep in my bathroom

She and I are never sober at the same time

I turn on Mad Villian and eat my fast food

But honest with you ain't nothing could get my brain right

[Verse I]

I thought that I could find the ocean just by jumping in puddles

Thought I could dig up something golden just by sifting through rubble

You get the trouble, I just argue with me 'cause I hate rebuttals

I'm simply oh so blessed to be, but I've been befuddled

So what? It's hard to grow up, it ain't hard to show up

I ain't know if it's hard to blow up, it I ain't target it much

He said he's gangster, I'm the type of one who's calling his bluff

I ain't easy to be around, I does it all in the mud

I was all in them drugs, made a hundred thou and lost all of my trust

Met somebody, falled in love, and then fucked all of it up

But life is funny in a way how it shows you

What it is that you want and need through all the shit that you go through

Don't let shit own you. I lost part of myself I was sure of

Too many drugs and crazy women leave you sort of distorted

Too much pouring and pouring, crushing and sniffing, fucking and falling

I don't answer when she call, so lately no one been calling

(I guess I saw it)

[Verse II]

I used to trust the world, but now I don't believe what they tell you

I believe in a heaven just not that that heaven is hell-proof

I believe there's people whose intentions are really to help you

But I also believe there's some who'd go to lengths to de-rail you

I won't tell you something that I know you already know

Shorty said "Hello", I said "Say less, I'm already sold"

That clock is turning fast, and I feel like I'm already old

I used to think that I could just sit back and let shit unfold

See I was left in the cold, I had to heat my shit up

Fiending to brush different shoulders, I started leaving my cut

Motherfuckers thought I was selling out, but deep in my gut

I know motherfuckers just envied how I can keep it a buck

Reap it and run, I came up with my stomach twisted in knots

Added rue to the day, and I learned to thicken the plot

I rep everything that I know, when people tell me to stop

I say the trick's to keep it moving even when you cannot
