[Intro]
Yeah
This album's out to the vassar kids
We v-town exclusive
Now let me run this out
[Verse 1]
Another comeback, why don't I hit the sack?
I've given up so many times, I lied every time i rapped
That I'm not comin back, that I won't bite back
Them tracks ain't nailed, pushed like a thumb tack
In the wall, even when I said it in fall
That i would drop all of the rap shit, but now I write for practice
By the way, half my flows are stolen
Covers of Koreans, when I told, I wasn't jokin
It's been the cliche shit they all say, move on
Like Kelly Clarkson, tellin you to be strong
Pause
Like the dog in the new songs
Take a break, go play fetch with store-bought bones
I took a break, a bit of a seat, and no one bit outta me
I guess they don't see, the throne been worshipin me
The low class been the real high society
The keepsake shoebox dons all your sobriety
[Chorus]
Yeah, we got our ups and our downs
We all dressed fresh in the caps and gowns
We open now
As the class of 2017
Like ya shoebox, turn back and listen to me
When you actin happily in dealin with the malady
Ya thought you'd live to see forever, then ya back to gravity
So write like your dying tonight, show what you singin
Reap what you sow, always go down swingin
Yeah, they got they ups and they downs
They all dressed fresh with they gats, they clowns
We Gatsby now
As the class who can't speak out
So catch me now, before you turn your back and pounce, know that
When you rappin after me you’re trapped inside the vanity
Thought you'd live to see forever then ya back to gravity
So write like your dying tonight, show what you singin
Reap what you sow, always go down swingin
[Verse 2]
Like a movie that you can't predict
Like a song that should never exist
The shoe just fits, when you boxin with a bare fist
Slice like a butterfly, sting like a dentist
Run up on em quick, that part 2 of the tempest
They don't know shit that you do, don't notice
Don't blow this true light, the midnight sky
Glows red, green, blue, like a summer night's vibe
When I take the time outta my day to jog a memory
You best believe that we ridin on the interstate
Never late, map the USA until we automate
All it takes is the drive till we pushin dictators
Routines later, ink to the paper
The pen liquid so short stories are long drips
And long trips make short stories of all this
Arrive in a gunship and watch the eclipse
Reprise with the Admiral, or sail with the Captain
The shoebox journalist, the backend interlockin
Dockin as if Interstellar, universes come together
We can share it all together, take it back, fly like a feather
Because you never know when it could all be over
We fought each other then, but should be walking by the shoulder
This whole thing is a waste of time I'm looking for some closure
It's the mid split of October, getting colder as i’m growing older
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, we got our ups and our downs
We all dressed fresh in the caps and gowns
We open now
As the class of 2017
Like ya shoebox, turn back and listen to me
When you actin happily in dealin with the malady
Thought you'd live to see forever then ya back to gravity
So write like your dying tonight, show what you singin
Reap what you sow, always go down swingin
Yeah, they got they ups and they downs
They all dressed fresh with they gats, they clowns
We Gatsby now
As the class who can't speak out
So catch me now, before you turn your back and pounce, know that
When you rappin after me you’re trapped inside the vanity
Thought you'd live to see forever then ya back to gravity
So write like your dying tonight, show what you sing
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
Who lives? And who dies?
You decide
Nah, never mind
[Bridge]
Our hellos, and our goodbyes
Our half-truths, and our half-lies
It drives me insane
When you're in my mind every day
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, we got our ups and our downs
We all dressed fresh in the caps and gowns
We open now
As the class of 2017
Like ya shoebox, turn back and listen to me
When you actin happily in dealin with the malady
Thought you'd live to see forever then ya back to gravity
So write like your dying tonight, show what you sing
Fuck a legacy, just give me a Happy Ending
