[Verse One]
They say I lost touch with the game like 50 after Aftermath
The aftermath was my master class fell faster than the sky does
My fly rhyme wine buzz, sipping chardonnay tryna chart my way
The kid never was Columbus, a hundred dollars in my wallet chasing clouds away
The fruit was so abundant, the truth was so deluded
My mind was always racing trying to contemplate the fate I'm facing
Cos all I really wanna do is slow down for a minute
Cruise towns for a living, the gifted couch surfer
The flight life, the samsonite
The glass in hand for the times I looked down on the man I am
But I'm learning til the day that my bridges stop burning
I wanna live it free til the world stops turning
Empowerment, eyes of the owl
She looked so sweet but its a sour kiss
[Chorus]
Yeah this thing we call life, yeah
It wasn't all easy but at least I've got her with me and she'll never leave me
Yeah this thing we call life, yeah
It wasn't all easy but at least I've got her with me and she'll never leave me
Things my paper teach me
Things my path teach me
Things my mom teach me
There ain't another way
So til the day I lay my head under the stars for the final time
I guess all I can do is just wonder why
[Second Verse]
It's funny it never really ends the way that you thought that it would
But at least I can't say that I thought I should of
The tri-colour, the times I bragged my rhymes butter
The times I thought I'd die out my light would flicker and stutter
She had the shutter, she had the paisley
And tucked behind her ear she wore a daisy
Nitobe where kids would rhyme 40 lines while sipping 40's and glorious wine
Trading stories like lovers in high rises
My morning, my mourning
My black suit and shoes
The DeLorean he drove
The streaked paint brushing his clothes
The seed as it grows from the rain as it flows from tear ducts of lost souls
The cross roads by the lost grove where I'd dance with her
The fam pictures, the past scriptures
That I wrote trying to float to the sky cos I'm a drifter
I'll never leave her side and I whisper
[Third verse (after pause)]
So close to greatness so close to making a statement
So close I can almost taste it, so I'm waiting
My placement in a strange station, my vain statement
I'm just tryna cool down, who got played the fool now
Cos all I'm really tryna do is slow down for a minute
Cruise towns for a living
The gifted couch surfer
The flight life, the samsonite
The glass in hand for the times I looked down on the man I am
[Chorus]
Yeah this thing we call life, yeah
It wasn't all easy but at least I've got her with me and she'll never leave me
Yeah this thing we call life, yeah
It wasn't all easy but at least I've got her with me and she'll never leave me
Things my paper teach me
Things my path teach me
Things my mom teach me
There ain't another way
So til the day I lay my head under the stars for the final time
I guess all I can do is just wonder why
[Outro]
Dark days are gonna come, yeah dark days are near
Dark days are gonna come, yeah dark days are here
Dark days are gonna come, yeah dark days are near
Dark days are gonna come, yeah dark days are here
