I spent like a year and a half on the Greyhound bus

On the way to see this girl

Take a flight back just to keep my job

Used to fly standby, late to the airport

Where the buddy pass? Stuck in the traffic

Whole lotta hours, real long distance

But I've grown since then

Learned to be on my own since then

Marble floor in my brand new crib

This the life that I wanted, still

Got a hole and it burn my chest

Mash the chip that's still in my shoulder

Ain't a day that I still been sober

These the things that I'm trippin' over

Y'all motherfuckers made three albums

Still talkin' about the same shit

The one gay, the one sellin' drugs

The one that's, ah, tryna act like Lil Wayne

What the fuck is this shit, man?

Y'all better turn this shit off when y'all get in the whip

When y'all enter my whip, y'all better not play this shit

'Cause this can go right the fuck off−

Now them boys hooked on heroin

Parents always askin' like, "Where y'all get it from?"

Rehab poppin' like when Amy had the single out

Single out the reasons how I quit before I fell down

I used to pick Ameer up

Talk about what's got us fucked up

We vent till the sun up, ay

Hopefully get our funds up, ay

And if I didn't know y'all, maybe y'all would have a desk job

Tickin' till I off myself

Used to drive around for some hours (Oh, ohhh)

Used to get paid by the hour (Oh, ohhh)

Now I'm just pickin' up my check (Oh, ohhh)

Now I'm just pickin' up a sweat (Yeah)

Used to drive around for some hours (Oh, ohhh)

Circle 'round the block for some hours (Oh, ohhh)

Now I'm just pickin' up my check (Oh, ohhh)

Now I'm just pickin' up a sweat (Yeah)

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

I spent like a year and a half feelin' sorry for myself

'Cause I thought love ain't make sense anymore

If I drank, you would probably see a fifth on the floor

And a hole in the door, rest a few more

Scared of the past I've been tryna avoid, from before I was born

Runnin' from the shoes that my grandfather's wore

Tryna pick a better battle I saw on the wharf

Feel the sun in my pores, but I still got clouds in my head, now

Rain for a little bit, stay for a little bit

Moved along with my head down

That's what momma taught me and I never let them fuck me

When they handed me a dead king's crown

Told 'em think of what you doin' before I'm the one you're choosin'

I just wanna be a human when I share myself

Hear the things I'm sayin' and I scare myself, goddamn

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby

Be there any minute

I'll be on it in it, baby
