Everything costs something bro When it's somewhere somewhere else you just lost something yo The cost of opportunities is always good to know But if you know that then you're good to go Yeah, no dreams too big Chase anything you have the passion to do Only a dream 'til it happen to you Finally seeing money now I'm acting a fool Never thought touring the world all year Would be something I might actually do Friends came through got me so high I forgot who I was passin' it to Party in a mansion splash in a pool Reminiscing those days back in the school My whole crew would come through and rap with us too Couple of them big goes packin' it too Go ahead try and talk shit on me I squad up come back with a crew Call me a bitch see what that's gonna do Fights in the streets like that shit was cool Yeah, we used to do dumb shit daily Dreamed since I was just a baby Now I'm here it's "Fuck you, pay me" I just had enough of waiting I worked hard, they stuck with lazy If I stayed I just went crazy People change, everything's in constant motion My old girl's across the ocean Some stuff stay well that's devotion Some folks stay some come and go And what you think is what you know I must run fast you're running slow Smoke, break down some Kush and roll a Dutch Right now my vibe is so alive so please When we smoke just hush Me and some of those who's closest to me haven't spoken much Crazy when you learn the cost of blowing up Yeah I know I should keep in better touch But that door it never shuts Even when we chill I never said that much Sometimes it's worth the bullshit sometimes you should let it flush Yeah, but when I'm on tour now I just get a rush Everything is hella plush Get caught up in all the girls I get them stuff Meanwhile I see some girls I used to know and get her wet and stuff Having kids with full salary jobs while I'm just getting jumped Missing every birthday and anniversary Yesterday my moms got out of surgery Wasn't even in town Shows and after parties what I've been 'round Finding out the news late Imagine how that shit sound Sit down priorities are all over the place and shit Stress levels rise and that J gets lit Try on shoes that Jay Z fit Fuck all that complacent shit I'm just dropping crazy shit Trying to outdo those fool who think they can spit But I can't even lie All this real life shit is passing me by Talking to myself and I'm asking me why Would I feel better as an average guy But I know that's just a lie Pour up a glass and get high Wondering if this Rockstar life taking a toll on me like I'm asking to die Going on tour for 6 months, Hug moms right after she sigh Look up wish me luck When you see that plane passing the sky No Stress bullshit gets passed to the side Working hard to make sure I'ma be the man when I die Yeah Hey Gerald, I just wanted to leave a message And repeat just how proud I am of you You have risen to the peaks of a behavior And ah Creativity, and It's just the beginning Gerald And it's going to be your life by the sounds of it And I'm just so proud I just had to call and sound like my Cheery self when I'm happy So anyway, it's just the beginning You're going to be blown away And you have your grounding, and yourself and that's so rare So I'll talk to you soon and Play on Okay sweetie I love you, bye bye
