Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh yes, I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise
In this moment of mine, I can't recognize or see that the glare is bright
And would you compromise, I almost died
I thought the water is red as mine
[Verse 2]
Hey, how you lonely in a room with God?
Never slow up, never even a pitstop
Praying my **** will never get caught
Overcame it all like I'm some bigshot
Was taught to be a man down to the wristwatch
To the collar shirt tucked with the front pocket
Part of adolescence when they go blossom
When your stars align, I hope there's no comet
So far it's
[Verse 3]
Oh yes, I made it alive, I'm on the West side
Still at my mama house
The kids on my conscience now 'cause the youth dying
And it's just more common now
Common ground, stuck through it all like we Carmelo
Coming down, high off a life, arrive unannounced
Summoning, numbing the pain of when I'm in doubt
High school, my head in the clouds like I learned about
[Verse 4]
Oh yes, I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise
In this moment of mine, I can't recognize or see that the glare is bright
And would you compromise, I almost died
I thought the water is red as mine
[Verse 5]
What are you looking for? (I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
All the things you adore (I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
[Verse 6]
Running through my city like a tour bus
Hoping one day I can have a tour bus
I can see the planets from my window sill
And I tend to tell what is honest
I don't wanna fight no one, no contest
I just wanna undress my conscience
I just met a killer that been in his ways
Tried to raise a family with minimum wage
What can I say? Besides the demons
It's reality for the people that we love and we are
The ones that will team up and tee up the party
Dead end the school, bet they'll show up real tardy
The audience awfully ready and rowdy
I made it, I said it, you get it in writing
Got into a science but write with the lightning
Like soil, I'm grounded
The seed has just sprouted
[Verse 7]
Oh yes, I made it alive, Lake Shore Drive, headed to paradise
In this moment of mine, I can't recognize or see that the glare is bright
And would you compromise, I almost died
I thought your water was is red as mine
[Verse 8]
What are you looking for? (I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
All the things you adore (I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it)
[Verse 9]
So what you want? So what you want?
So what you want? So what you want?
[Verse 10]
I just wanna be the plug so my people could eat
I just wanna play soccer on rooftops of Tokyo
I just wanna find somewhere
I don't gotta put on a face on for people no more
Yours truly, Billy Williams
