She Wanna Fly

There was a time where it felt like we had all day

Running pickup basketball till it got late

Don't remember when the stakes changed or got raised

But that first year of school we came a long way

Microwave dinners and strangely warm winters, uh

Ain't know how to dress but learned from lost pictures

Of the man that I knew I could be

Looked myself in the mirror, didn't like what I see

Bad bitches, I had no shot

Found no props that I was looking for

Took a while to see not sum'n I could afford to

Get lost in, put one and two together

Maybe things brought in my life would get sweeter

Dealing with a broken heart was trying to heal too fast

Holding onto lust that I thought might last

Take the chance, a choice I ain't ever regret

A smile on they face, pay as nice as a check

Sometimes I don't trust the man I'm becoming

Like, if I get up off these pills, will I shine or be nothing?

Butting heads with my mother, 'bout my stomach and lunges and

What I choose to put in 'em, got kicked out for the summer

But truth is, it's been a long time, it's nice to see you

Despite bad blood still go back like a beeper

On the hip, ducking calls ducking flip-flops

From Mema, memories seem centuries ago in rearview mirrors

When you dreaming of the future, always tryna play catch up

Mac told me win or lose, it just doesn't matter

Got a pot to piss in, **** call me a crackpot

When Ali place the bet he always go for the long shot

That's just who I am hope they don't see a change in me

But all I'm is isn't all that I was meant to be

Failed physics couldn't figure my trajectory

But when I'm on a song, that shit is getting done expertly

From our spot, the grass was never greener

Biking down the block after class to meet her

Spending time with baby boo ya my mamacita

Then to the stu man, fuck the standards tryna break the meter

We on a heater then a bender for days

With the homies in the field, we be drawing up plays

Like Peyton Manning Reggie Wayne but we in modern day

We the Pro Bowlers y'all ain't even Bobby Boucher

Lo-lo-lo-locked down, had to use the camera for school

We on the block now, partying and breaking the rules

And to tell you the truth, was off the juice to keep my sanity

Need that liquid courage in the moments where I had to sing

It's all eyes on me, OMG wasn't prepared to be

On center stage though I begged, just wanted to be seen

Lean into moments 'fore they all pass me by

Scrolling through my life as the time just, fly
