Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know why
I can see things, but I can't show why
I don't wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop, I can't, I'm so high
I do the things I want to do
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
[Verse 2]
Know the reason
I can over deep it, not supposed to be this
Wrote my feelings and show my secrets
I got things in my head, but I don't know the feeling
[Verse 3]
Hold my thoughts
So I know I'm breathin' less
Everything I've seen so far has been a test
I won't look back, so I still can't regret
Jay-Z's missus' "To the left, to the left"
There's bare things that I still can't forget
And when I get older, I wanna be the best
I have mad dreams where I fall out my bed
I guess that I learned from the things that you said
It's weird that I earn from the things in my head
I think that we go somewhere in the end
I hope that I go somewhere in the end
Get me?
[Verse 4]
I don't know why
I can see things, but I can't show why
I don't wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop, I can't, I'm so high
I do the things I want to do
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
[Verse 5]
I think all the things that you done
I done
When I make decisions, I don't make the right one
I wanna know the angle I live my life from
Right angle or the wrong one that I decide on
Don't wanna beat myself up
I need help up
When people think they're helpin', I feel held up
Yeah, it's hard, but I can change
Turn my phone light off, 'cause you light the way
Guess what I'm tryna say is this
I write down my goals and I put 'em in a list
If I don't reach my goal, then I do get pissed
I shouldn't do
Maybe that's the thing I should switch
On overdrive
But I don't drive for shit
Can't live in the past, I don't think
That I owe you
Hope one day I can show you
Even if you think I don't know you
[Verse 6]
It coulda been
It shoulda been
If you'd've worked harder then it would've been
I know the hood has been good to a couple man
Tryin' to make a couple grand
Lie like I couldn't sin
Ay, I don't remember when I couldn't swim
I had my eyes on the deep when they pushed me in
I've been tryin' to stay afloat on this crooked whim
They lie, I'm on the outside lookin' in
But no one's lookin' out
And it be fillin' me with fuckin' doubt
Tryin' to keep the spirit in my mother's house
Trust, the pressure's always in my fucking mouth
I write the words down but, yo, I can't say 'em loud
Alright, so am I lyin'? Am I bluffin' now?
Is it enough to simply make your mother proud?
I miss Andre 3000, but they say he's foul
Probably just another verse never comin' out
[Verse 7]
I don't know why
I can see things, but I can't show why
I don't wanna do it when it comes to showtime
Said I would stop, I can't, I'm so high
I do the things I want to do
[Verse 8]
It coulda been you
It coulda been you
It shoulda been
It coulda been you
It woulda been
