I know my mama always told me I should drive slow
But I been bending corners with my eyes closed
Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope
But its my time though
Run that back again I would throw it away
One way ticket Imma go MIA
Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain
The world is gonna know my name

They told me don't spend too much time looking back
Stare at the future too long
the present's what you're looking past
Mistakes can be hard to face in that looking glass
But I wouldn't be who I am if I took 'em back nah
Just a kid in the back of the bus in his headphones
Trying to crack at a bad one
and not get left off in the friend zone
Put my name at the top in Helvetica
where the letterhead goes
I'm rounding third and finally
got that go ahead to head home
This is Grandma's cornbread flow
When the album's finished I'm taking the fam' to Venice
And I ain't going to Club Med though
I'm not well read no quoting Shakespeare off the head
But the mouthpieces always trend
and a little more Detroit red though
The talk Pellegrino Arrowhead no
All my dawgs with me like I bought some stock in Petco
Off the leash all their bark is cheap
I finally cut the strings
I didn't want to have to dance
and sing and answer to Geppetto
Life's too short whether I like it or not
I don't exist in the dimensions they put round my box
Just me myself a ceiling a couple of thoughts
No one on their deathbed regrets
the things that they should've bought
The greatest resource is time
and you can't buy back the clock
You can't rewind the tape
and dub over the things I've watched
Only a matter of time
before they pass the rock give me a shot
I promised my mama Imma show the world what I got like

I know my mama always told me I should drive slow
But I been bending corners with my eyes closed
Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope
But its my time though
Run that back again I would throw it away
One way ticket Imma go MIA
Ain't no bottle big enough to hold all this pain
The world is gonna know my name
