The Resistance

Yesterday when we were getting high

You were invited, you would've liked it

I-I-I, I know you all too well

I said that we could kiss the past goodbye

But you weren't excited, there's no way to fight it

You can stay but shawty, here I go

Uh, should I spend a weekend in Vegas?

I'm living inside a moment, not taking pictures to save it

I mean, how could I forget? My memory's never faded

I can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it

I am still here with who I started with

The game needed life, I put my heart in it

I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit

Carry the weight for my city like a cargo ship

Uh, I'm twenty-three with a money tree

Growing more too, I just planted a hundred seeds

It's ironic 'cause my mother was a florist

And that's how she met my pops, and now, my garden is enormous

"It's happening, Penny Lane, just like you said!"

I avoided the coke game and went with Sprite instead

Uh-uh, that's word to the millions that they putting up

I'm trying to do better than good enough

What am I afraid of?

This is supposed to be what dreams are made of

But people I don't have the time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same shit

They say, "You promised me you would never change"

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh

"You promised me you would never change"

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh

Uh, am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on

When 40 got some shit for me to snap on

Now that I'm on, I don't really want to worry 'bout getting back on

I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffet on

I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home

And I be acting like I don't know how to work a phone

But hit "re-dial", you'll see that I just called

Some chick I met at the mall that I barely know at all, and

Plus, this woman that I messed with unprotected

Texted saying she wished she would've kept it

The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it

Man, I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is, I'm holding on by a thread

It's like I'm high right now, the guy right now

And you could tell by looking in my eyes right now

That nothing really comes as a surprise right now

'Cause we just having the time of our lives right now

What am I afraid of?

This is supposed to be what dreams are made of

But people I don't have the time to hang with

Always look at me and say the same shit

They say, "You promised me you would never change"

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh

"You promised me you would never change"

Uh, uh-uh, uh, uh-uh, uh

Uh, I live by some advice this girl Lissa told me

The other day, Lissa told me that she miss the old me, uh

Which made me question when I went missing

And when I start treating my friends different

Maybe it was the fast paced switch up

Or the two guns in my face during the stick up

Maybe 'cause a girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up

But in fact, I haven't seen them since they locked Big Rich up, I know

But same time, I'm quick to forget

I'm 'bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets

Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh

'Cause half the time I got it right, I probably guessed

Did I just trade free time for camera time?

Will I blow all of this money baby, hammer time?

Yeah, I just need some closure

Ain't no turning back for me, I'm in it till it's over
