[Intro: Aimee Carty & Rod Wave]

I'm two days into college with a busy, busy mind

That guy that we named Colin, he's so handsome, he's so kind

My friends tell me I'm crazy, say I take it way too far

'Cause I told him that it's over 'cause he doesn't play guitar

I'm only two days into college and my bedroom is a mess

There's just so much that I want to do that I have not done yet

There's just so much that I want to say and far too little breath

Oh, my mind, it runs so far away, it's easy to forget

Yeah, yeah


[Verse: Rod Wave]

Damn, I should've went to college

Childhood gone too soon, where is everyone from high school?

My nigga Jigga, he a genius, he landed at a BCU

I was sleeping in his dorm room

Made me think about my path and the life I chose

Never fucked with my class, but I liked them hoes

I ain't good with that math, but can count my dough

Had me looking in the mirror like my life a joke

Damn, I really hope I'm right 'bout this rapping shit

Fuck that job, it's back to that trapping shit

Can't go back home, moms ain't having it

Got a show tomorrow, I hope it's packed as shit

Been living fast since fifteen, this rap shit my dream

Just signed me a deal, my bitch laughed at me

I've been rich since nineteen, took the world by storm

I perfected my form, I hope her eyes can see

Why you mad at me? I ain't mad at you

All the shit that I did, shit, I had to do

I moved on, found love, living life on the run

As careful as I was, still broke my ass in two

For the second time, the third time

The fourth time, shit, I done had a few

Heartbreaks, mistakes, alleyways, and avenues


[Bridge: Rod Wave]

And the one thing I learned about living this life is

Nothing is precious, precious as time

And all of the pain made me who I am

I'd do it again, I would do it again, woah


[Outro: Aimee Carty]

The one thing that's important above everything else

Is to learn not to put all this heavy pressure on myself

I try to believe it when I say

If it's meant to happen, it'll happen anyway

I'll be fine

I've got time

I've got time

That's where I'm at, to be honest

Just two days, two days into college
