Cheers (feat. Q-Tip)

Yeah, uh-huh

Yeah

I'm workin' on a world premiere

And I can see the world from here

They ask me where I'm goin' from here

Shit, anywhere long as the runway is clear (Shit)

Music business moving too fast for me (God damn)

Wishing I still had Mac wit' me (Yes Lord)

How do you tell a ****, "Slow it down"?

When you living just as fast as him

I couldn't understand when I seen him stretched out cold on the pavement

**** catch TKO's on occasion

Wishing I can save him, what was I to say?

I was doing dates, dippin' in and out of state

We was going in, to get away

Sick of feeling so out of place

Wishin' I could save ya, what was I to say?

Wishin' I could save ya but now it's too late

Now is this really what I wanted?

Is it really worth the pain?

Now am I really an asshole? Fuck what you say

Don't do me no favors

Let's get back to basics

We live for today, bitch

Fuck up out my way, bitch

I'm losin' all my aces

I'm runnin' out of patience

Got some pretty faces knowin' what my name is

Up in high places, I got some new neighbors

They don't really say shit but when they see the spaceship

They just think I rap or some form of entertainment

But they don't know I'm black, young, gifted and amazing

You know I had to close my eyes (My eyes, yeah)

And now I have to free my mind (Free my mind, yeah, yeah)

I'm in my own lane, movin' all alone (You know I had to close my eyes)

Knowing that I can't do it on my own

A **** had the painkiller coming on (And now I have to free my mind)

'Bout to run away, think I'm going home

Yeah, you know I'm workin' on a world premiere

And I can see the world from here

I know you somewhere in the atmosphere

I know someday I'll meet you halfway there (Cheers)

They say there's nothin' you can do about it

Can't say that I'm new to sorrow

Wishin' I could take your problems

Trade 'em for a little more time with you

Carry you out the bottom

The weight of the world, I got it

Spotted you on my shoulder

The greatest, honored to know ya

I gotta be honest wit' ya

I hate you ain't in the picture

I hate all them fake **** claimin' like they gon' really miss ya

I know there's no one to blame

That may be the point that I'm missing

But I needed a minute

Just give me a minute

You know I had to close my eyes (My eyes, yeah, yeah)

And now I have to free my mind (Free my mind, yeah, yeah)

I'm in my own lane, moving all alone (You know I had to close my eyes)

Knowing that I can't do it on my own

A **** had the painkiller coming on (And now I have to free my mind)

'Bout to run away, think I'm goin' home

Oh, say it ain't so

Tears keep falling down my eyes

Damn it, I miss you

I should be with you

Can't turn back the hands of time

Can't turn back on the hands of time

But I miss my friend, and I

I should be with you

Damn it, I miss you

Can not bring you back

These pictures I'm seeing are

Fuckin' me up, and

I don't know what to do but

Reminisce and face the pain of back in the days

Before you were "Dawg" and you were just pup

Bangin' beats and bringin' bitches back to the tour bus

Excuse me, y'all, I know this Paak shit

I just need a second, It's Q-Tip in this bitch and I'm just in here reflectin'

Head on collisions with memories in the intersection

Lookin' in my rear view, wishing I could be near you

The freeways of my mind are crowded with traffic

The good times that we had and them bad habits

Look at me now, look around, last man standing

Grown man cryin' like a child tryin' to understand it

So sick of sendin' flowers to all of my brother's mommas

Don't know what's harder, fightin' trauma or keepin' the promise

True confession, breath is a blessin' without a question

But **** don't get the message until they get disconnected

My story ain't over, I'm still turnin' pages

But the picture I painted with you in it has faded

My queen, my dreams and even my wages

I know what it means to lose everything when you made it

Rags to the riches and back to the rags is a mo'fucka

The consequence of putting all of your chips in one bucket

To be honest, I feel like gettin' right back to these commas

You motherfuckers keep the drama

I'm workin' on a world premiere

And I can see the world from here

I know there must be somethin' after here

I know someday I'll meet you halfway there, in the atmosphere, cheers

Free my mind

You know I had to close my eyes (Close my eyes)

And now I have to free my mind

Yeah, you know I had to close my eyes (And now it's time for me to)

And now I have to free my mind

Free, free, free, free my mind

Free, free, free, free my mind

Free, free, free my mind

My mind, my mind, my mind
