Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sorry, is this allowed?
I shoulda bet my daddy proud
A lil' **** with a shaker smile
On top of the dreams is where I'm found
Some figured I was Satan bound
Until I came back with a skill I found
Then all of a sudden they fixed they faces
'Cause of who I know when they trail the places
That I've stepped, how many **** wanna hate
'Cause I left? How could you blame me?
And my plan attack, 'cause I'm risking my soul attack
Now I'm heard all over the map
Only rule of thumb, it don't really matter just where you from
All that really matter is where you're gonna go
Maybe I'll stay for somethin'
But you can't rule out this caps of gun
Second chances given out for some
All you gotta do is take advantage
To make it, you can get yourself a horse and carriage
Done pimping, you can think about marriage
Until then, get it in, find yourself and let's begin
I'ma tell you how in a minute, I'ma show you how I been living
From a long time ago a young ****, he was tinted
Now I'm zoned, see things so vivid
How my soul, nah homie, not even
I'ma zone out till I lose feeling, remember
I'ma be gone way past November
Even stay up there, up there
Floating, floating, hoping I can find peace somewhere
[Chorus]
In my mind it sounds like, ooh
When I'm gone, it feels like, ooh
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
I forget about it all
[Verse 2]
Balling, is this allowed?
Without feeling like Shallow Hal
Diamonds on the Jesus piece for style
Back in Cleveland City, we ride around
Greeting my **** with dap and pounds
So if I fall, I won't hit the ground
These are the things that'll make me smile
Knowing this blunt might burn a while
I keep myself so lifted, I am accustomed to new heights
I feel perfect though they think it's worthless
See without my flight, man
Everybody wanna be a critic, I have my life and I will live it
Shut your mouth before I fuck it
Ha, my jokes, they will love it
If I'm seen on the scene with my slim cut jeans
More than likely I am faded, man
You are not the shit if everywhere you go
**** ain't sitting, standing around hating
So my advice is when the lights start flashing
I'll be zoning all alone, and
And the place where my mind is going
Filled with songs and no one's knowing
And the devil in the hot pink dress
Tryna ask me for one dance
He think he slick, but my guardians protect me from his wrath, so
In my place no hate shall enter, living high up there, up there
Coping, coping, floating, I will find peace somewhere
[Chorus]
In my mind it sounds like, ooh
When I'm gone, it feels like, ooh
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
I forget about it all
[Chorus]
In my mind it sounds like, ooh
When I'm gone, it feels like, ooh
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
When I'm zoned (I'm feeling alright, I'm feeling alright)
I forget about it all
