[Verse 1]

Countin' my blessings, watchin' Inception

But I’m livin' one of those scenes

Where everyone knows it ain't real except him

They can't convince him to believe

I know this life with all the lights and how it ain't true

Ha, but fuck it, I don’t wanna leave

'Cause you could never have déjà vu

If you don’t ever dream

Uh, successful stories never told to us

Tryna make ends (Ns) 'cause we never got what was owed (O'd) to us

School never grown on us, Pops never shown on us

Open sesame; see, the street never closed on us

Moved white, but didn’t see much green like a ski slope

Now I see so much green that I could be Hulk

And people think I relocated on the East Coast

But I still hold it down in the town I speak for

Towin' my city behind me like it was repoed

In a game full of sharks but there ain't no cheat codes

If XV did take a hike, I’m Tim Tebow

Matrix—reload, face it, he cold

Rep the 316, I’m 730 in the mind

I’m that dude hands down, 6:30 when I rhyme

I’m a two-three-five, always in my prime

And it’s 4/15, meanin' it’s my time

Was I a nerd 'cause niggas acted like dimwits

Or was I truly just gifted in academics?

Figured that with these lyrics that I was rappin' like Christmas

I could number two on all of the doubters up on my shitlist

Pissed my little brother has to miss this

Told my momma she’ll never watch from the sofa

Tell my haters, hit record on they remote controllers

Until my totem falls over


[Chorus]

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick

I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick (Yeah)

I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick, wait for it


[Verse 2]

Lord, can I change my life with these sentences

When I got boys doin' life 'cause of sentencin'?

I’m dealin' with it every night, that's what penance is

Balled like Bruce Willis but die hard with a vengeance, kid

And I’m in this party where all these women is

Tryna find where niggas with dollar bills and Benzes is

Finally left what I wanted for what I needed

Can’t be the girl of my dreams if you don’t close your eyes to see it

The road less traveled, where both of us were headed

Said it would kill us, I told you I won't let it

When my life was plain (Plane), most bitches jetted

You said, "Boy, I been down like toe touch stretches"

I even set expectations, and you never ever met it

But I gave you my heart, you ain't even call a medic

Now she tellin' me to leave her alone (A loan)

But I can’t like she got bad credit

I guess it’s debted with me, you both have left it

In eternal sunshine, but my spotless mind won't forget it

So I accept it and pray no one intercept it

Given the globe my soul and hope everybody accept it

Makin' it is never what you expected

I told my girl she’ll never watch from the sofa

Tell my haters hit record on they remote controllers

Until my totem falls over


[Chorus]

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick

I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick

This is the life that I never will forget

I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit

So I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick

I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick, wait for it


[Interlude]

"There is no room in your life for love"

"That's the way you feel about it, that's the way it is"

"You want answers?"

"I think I'm entitled"

"You want answers?!"

"I want the truth!"

"You can't handle the truth!"
