[Verse 1]
We stay moving
You win some you lose some
Doesn't mean that they won either but you’ve gotta reach a conclusion
Anna said that our twenties are scary
And I said that I'm funny and caring
What more can you want from me
Love turns to company, I go down my path, you aren't down to come with me
I always knew of this
Shouldn’t be assuming you and I would ever stay on the rudiments
Of our humanness
My prudent movements are always the stupidest
Was on my student shit, now I'm making bank
Shouldn't take for granted, people layaway
But I lay awake, thinking at 2-3 'bout you and reunion and music
The two things I haven't been doing no more
The plan was I get a whip and you ride too
You get this dick and I slide through
We get a crib and say I do
Fill it with some kids and we fine-tune
We always did plan too ahead, came up with the plan while doing lsd
I mean LSD, guess we weren't that mature, please you don't need to be telling me
[Verse 2]
Back on that shit from the 44, ain't nobody gon’ hold me back
Your core, you ain’t ever gon' show me that, I tried love finding all of us are phony hacks
Put on my mask when I meet you, then assume your face is real
And then sooner or later we see through, and then you start to see through me too
It just takes too long, it’s been a while
Got more thoughts in me than the LES
More mileage he still ain't print, so there's def' no space in my head for you to tell me shit
Been switching to Celsius too much, do I re-up on the selfishness?
Hope you know your boy got some melanin, so you know the government ain’t looking out for him
In the 212, asian girl with red lipstick dancing on me, that's Mulan rouge
She's going back to Australia in 2 days, but I'm down to waste time if you want to
That's the new me huh, don't you tell me I didn't grow, don't ever say that
I had a fantasy of my twenties being that I'd never stay pat
I think I had it clearer back then, my dad said he's glad that I can explore
You need to see what you want, while you're still young, shit I had you when I was 24
My mom was my age, anyway, guess they taught me to be protected
This is the momentum, the momentum, I gotta always see the next shit
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta keep it moving, now on Lexington
No looking back at you and all my skeletons
Crossing west to Park, shit I've been doing pivots
I've been too forgiving, Madison
I'll take these avenues instead having you, I catapulted
On my own, you better watch your tone
Onto Fourth Ave, expectations that you gotta move past
This is the momentum
[Chorus]
This is the momentum, this is the momentum
Sentimental got no place in new beginnings
Sprinting like I haven't been in for a minute
My inertia never got me furthest did it
Can't be slowed, no I'm gone
Not even this city for long
[Verse 3]
Moved to the city, you couldn't feel me
So you tried to hold me back cause you knew I was getting
Enthused bout this city, and its true possibility
Too many women, you know it's tempting, then you get defensive
Stuff I didn't mention, been independent
Too long, your boy's been a menace too long
So can I end my sentence ‘fore you get offended
Been ascendant and you benefited
Did my sentence but was innocent, and now you been repenting
I've been getting better, you need intervention
Now you're trying to make a fucking new reentrance
Fuck all your epiphanies and your opinions
I've been out here getting it, spending for my family
Living for the moment, not for my descendants
Been saying that but now I mean it
I mean I'll repeat it if you failed to keep up
I'ma always rise up like the phoenix
I mean mama named me sky and freedom
Y'all can't trap me, I'm freer than I've ever been
Gotta choose, you want settlements or sediments
All of y'all motherfuckers like oedipus, know that I spit some prophetic shit, ayyy
Never gonna know what you want, more than when you're caught up in what you don't
Making money's never been the goal, but it sure makes the momentum roll
Stepping on the 4 on the way home, but you know that I've been in my zone
Finally got a domicile to my own, I feel my momentum forever grow, cause I
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta keep it moving, now on Lexington
No looking back at you and all my skeletons
Crossing west to Park, shit I've been doing pivots
I've been too forgiving, Madison
I'll take these avenues instead having you, I catapulted
On my own, you better watch your tone
Onto Fourth Ave, expectations that you gotta move past
This is the momentum
[Chorus]
This is the momentum, this is the momentum
Sentimental got no place in new beginnings
Sprinting like I haven't been in for a minute
My inertia never got me furthest did it
Can't be slowed, no I'm gone
Not even this city for long
