Ants

Where do the ants go?

Empty halls to feel you know

Small and obscure, wander the world

Where did my ants go?

Truth be told

Familiar faces say hi, street car go by

Carryin' fish plates and first dates

Finger waves and hard hairstyles

Corner conversations, pop-lockin' and droppin'

High school sweetheart at the gas station

Wonder who he's dating now, if he's married now

If he's busy thinkin' what was like I am now

Should I ask him how he doin'?

If you're goin' to the second line

Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now

Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now

Erykah told me, "I'll see you in the next lifetime"

****, bye

Double Dutch and free lunch

Mean hoes sweet ones

**** that like me, dudes that dodge me

Girls wanna fight me 'cause like Kimy I'm dark and pretty

Confident as a saditty like Whitley

Yet down to Earth like Freddie

Down to ride, no Bentley

At home it was Kool-Aid packs and Disney

Lizzie McGuire and One Saturday Morning on the weekees

Never had a pair of Jordans, don't want 'em

My jump shot don't need sneakers

More costly than I can afford 'em

Rice Krispie Treats and noodles

Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin

'Cause sometimes, 'cause sometimes

I need more space than stars can give me

More sky than God provides me

And TV so I won't get lonely (Lonely)

Where do the ants go?

Why do they run away? Ooh, yeah

Leave me alone now

Why can't I make you stay?

I got a JanSport book sack

A girl that be talkin' 'bout me in third period

Oh well (Oh well)

The day was still made for me

Reruns of Martin waitin' on me

More cake for me, cake for me

Amy scared me and Ashley make me jealous and Cherolyn my best friend

Brian my boyfriend, gay as his father

But his love letters be sweeter than snow balls in the East

And Freezy Street all wrapped in one letter

And a warm sweater in December, I'm better, I'm better

Idk whatever

Where do the ants go?

Why do they run away? (Run, run, runway now)

Leave me alone now

Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the colors)

I'm prettier than Sunday

On Mondays I be trippin'

My mama want me to wash the dishes

While she make my brother lazy and distant

Fuck it, I'm movin' at eighteen

Fast forward ten years later, it's the same routine

And I'm complaining, catching bucks, mood change

Like it's a new thing, I want everything on anything

Thrift clothes in a basket on a Hummer truck

Man, my life funny as fuck, like Bruce with a cut

Just my luck, I'd end up famous and blunt

Rolling a blunt, turned down while everyone is busy turning up

(Can you turn my music up?)

(Hey, turn my music up)

Where do the ants go?

(I wonder, I wonder) Why do they run away?

Leave me alone now (I know)

Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the colors)

Where do the ants go?

Why do they run away?

Leave me alone

Why can't I make you stay?

I saw you throw a universe once

That wasn't the type of shit you see every day
