[Intro]

Yeah, you know when you staring up at the ceiling

Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's really spinning

The fans or your mind

Yeah, so what I need y'all to do is

Just look up, tune everything out, and live

Hey, you know


[Chorus]

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow


[Verse 1]

The elevators broken, the stairs second room on the left

I seen my ex on my mattress sucking my dude for a check

She ain't say nuttin while he nuttin', she was in for the money

He in it from the back because even he knew he was frontin'

But you know, can't be too careful

In the hood, that's what they there for

Even your kin ain't your friend, they heart hollow as air holes

That's exactly how I spit it, it's exactly how I live it

Like a drunk man on his gimmick, ceiling fans still spinning

Turn around see the smoke fill up my living quarters

Packing gun shells dipped in water, that's what you go tell your daughter

Opened up the bathroom door and seen somebody shooting up

Peek-a-boo'd out those window shutters seen somebody shooting up

Bam, duck, bust, that's what procedure calls

Not knowing, not being involved but gets you locked behind them walls

I just lost one of my closest friends to the jury

Still, the blades on the fan keep turning, and you know


[Chorus]

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow


[Verse 2]

They say what's up with your lifestyle, you living off a dream

Staring at the ceilings till that lint in your pocket turn into green

How bout the schooling and the college

[?] at the job

But you just scribblin your number, forgetting about the wallet

And I respond to get your own [?]


[?] something like I ran from my home [?]

Just by my lonesome

Bumming off the [?] and let me use the sofa

Gotta keep drumming or this marching band is over, done deal

It's real in the feel when the snake bites don't heal

When the [?]

[?] is all I am, bedridden for months

Staring up the town's sky watching my fans do stunts

18 reflects my age, infinite on my ambitions (Kells)

And 12 will be my greatness if translated into inches

Which means one foot up in yo ass

Biblical when I say don't dance

I'm the Kid, I see y'all but you got [?]


[Chorus]

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow

I don't recall ever graduating at all

Sitting in my room watching ceiling fans on the wall

Ceiling fans on the wall, ceiling fans on the wall

Living for today because we never promised tomorrow


[Outro]

And it's like that

When you living this lifestyle, man

And your whole life's spinning around in a big circle

You just gotta keep focus and live

Yah
