[Intro: Sample]
By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear
I know not when, I know not why
[Verse 1]
The other day, I had brunch with Cupid
We were bumping Q-Tip while we cued clips
Of beautiful cruise ships, swaying to the waves
We were too lit
I told him that I prayed for the day that my wings made me lose grip
Without being afraid
If I fell into hell, I'd start flapping 'em
But if I get distracted, I would meet the same fate
Cause Icarus did and he was going the other way
My predicament is keeping that balance
After reaching the plateau
After leaving the path so many people have traveled
After seeing them plaques go
Ridiculous, platinum and gold
I love hip-hop, don't ever wanna get divorced
You stayed with me when everybody else dispersed
Was it accidental when the arrow went through my temple?
I was listening to instrumental
I guess u were the one for me in the universe
[Hook]
I guess I'll never learn how to conform and settle for the norm, I was born unique
No, never, never learn how to be dormant in a dorm taking courses that do nothing for me
I guess I'll never learn how to give up on my dreams
No, never, never learn how to give up on my dreams
[Verse 2]
I had a date with destiny
Spilled my drink on her dress, then she checked me
I told her it was an accident, why she overreacting?
I'm a catch, bitch don't ever disrespect me
She asked me do you ever kiss your mother with that mouth?
I said yeah, every time I leave the motherfucking house
To go where, to school? aren't you a junior now?
Don't tell me what I am, I'm Ferris Bueller with the crown
Then we argued 'bout my future plans
I got the Midas touch and you are just Medusa
Hand me the reigns so I could maneuver as a newer man
I gotta persevere, quite frankly you already lost control
You're the worst puppeteer, you're a hoe
Fucking dreams and careers
I'ma stroll to my steer
I don't pose, I'm just here
Centerfolds, chandeliers
Let me go, she did out of fear
[Hook]
I guess I'll never learn how to conform and settle for the norm, I was born unique
No, never, never learn how to be dormant in a dorm taking courses that do nothing for me
I guess I'll never learn how to give up on my dreams
No, never, never learn how to give up on my dreams
[Bridge]
By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear
I know not when, I know not why
So, I gotta get it now
[Verse 3]
I had a meeting with the Reaper
We were very faded smoking Jack The Ripper
Contemplating whether life or death was realer
We talked for hours on top of the clocktower
Got devoured by darkness that shrouded
Every particle that was ours in the arena
After a while, I realized that I would never know alive
And I would always be
So unless I meet a poltergeist that tells me otherwise
This is my philosophy
I'ma fill up lots of seats
They gon' feel the knock thumping like my knuckles bouta bleed
All that heart got the crowd jumping using shutter speed
Check the box that is other on the beat
Unorthodox, he gripped his scythe
And then he grinned, like you're never gonna win, sike
You're the one, go have fun, go motherfucking dumb
But never forget what comes with your ability, get it done
[Hook + Bridge: Sample]
I guess I'll never learn
No, never, never learn
I guess I'll never learn
No, never, never learn
By and by, all my dreams will soon disappear
I know not when, I know not why
