Lyrics
0:03Feeling like forever was a long time ago
0:05Balance the highs and the lows
0:08Get your blindfold only God knows
0:10I've done seen some better days before
0:13Feeling like forever was a long time ago
0:16Balancin' highs and the lows
0:18Get your blindfold only God knows
0:20Twin don't forget the better days we been friends since ten
0:23Back then we told people we cousins kin
0:26The busses from my school couldn't come to where I live
0:28So my mama used to drop me at your crib
0:30Like four maybe five a m
0:32I ain't get no good sleep 'til I was twenty-seven
0:34I used to wear my big bro clothes
0:36He used to let me borrow some of your clothes
0:38I thought that I looked funny in 'em
0:39It's only you and lil' Jojo
0:41Yo parents used to treat me like they third son
0:43I'm the first one buckin' on any person tryna make you feel hurt or something
0:47You my brother I murder something for you
0:49Throw that dirty gun into the Chattahoochee
0:51You Louis I be Gucci we was Webbie and Boosie with the low fade
0:54Brush my hair for days still ain't have no waves
0:57Now we talkin' through a window while you in a cage
0:59I'ma come get you when they figure out your date
1:01I was in and out the States you was rapid on the rage
1:04Had Atlanta goin' crazy I was packin' out the stage in different places
1:07You hit me said Cassandra had your baby
1:09The day that Kobe died I'm at the Grammy's in LA
1:12Pray Allah can show you grace and the Lord stay out the way
1:14But when you caught that other case I ain't know what your a*s was thinking
1:17My momma said to say You ain't too old to get a spankin'
1:19Still one of her children but she feel like you needa be thankful yeah
1:23I've done seen some better days before
1:25Feeling like forever was a long time ago
1:28Balance the highs and the lows
1:30Get your blindfold only God knows
1:33I've done seen some better days before
1:36Feeling like forever was a long time ago
1:39Balancin' highs and the lows
1:40Get your blindfold only God knows
1:44Oh oh oh
1:47Oh oh oh
1:49Oh oh oh
1:52Oh oh oh
1:54Oh oh oh
1:57Oh oh oh
2:00Oh oh oh
2:02Oh oh oh
2:04Life gets too real make you you
2:07Life skills you build make you choose
2:09Between old times and new waves
2:11Fake friends and real snakes false knowns and true values
2:14Computer it to see through it we do it
2:17Take a moment to breathe and achieve through it
2:19Stay free through it cause your vision makes me your slave
2:22Uh look
2:22So I pray for better days
2:24Check
2:24To make it to forever took a very long time
2:26I took every wrong turn packed a long line
2:29Just for rapping long words
2:31**** a net worth I made a million off of merch
2:33Pay the bills first and then invest in guest verses
2:36Progress **** the lessons the blessings the journey
2:38Agitate the white guilt explain the black burden
2:41The stresses the entrance the exit the purpose
2:44Prayin' that we see some better days between worse ones
2:46Nothing's ever perfect but I made it so my mom's ain't working
2:49Off of murkin instramentals and there's no coincidence
2:51When I was little I was very sensitive
2:53Never was talkative n***a don't even try to tickle 'em
2:56Me and my brothers and sis an 'em slept in the same room
2:59Suffered the same afflictions
3:00See the reflection of a n***a that never liked attention
3:03Don't need acceptance from strangers coming in mentions
3:06I got protection papa had the right prediction
3:08Said I was destined to be whatever I envisioned
3:11I manifested blessin' that I made it out the club at twenty seven
3:14The weapon was formed against me
3:16I formed against the weapon
3:17Tried to stretch 'em but n***as sprintin'
3:19If we don't catch 'em then God will get 'em then
3:21We ain't gotta get into karma if we ain't kill a man
3:23But you did in the better days
3:25Now I miss my friend
3:27I've done seen some better days before
3:29****
3:29Feeling like forever was a long time ago
3:32Balance the highs and the lows
3:34Get your blindfold only God knows
3:37I've done seen some better days before
3:40Feeling like forever was a long time ago
Feeling like forever was a long time ago Balance the highs and the lows Get your blindfold only God knows I've done seen some better days before Feeling like forever was a long time ago Balancin' highs and the lows Get your blindfold only God knows Twin don't forget the better days we been friends since ten Back then we told people we cousins kin The busses from my school couldn't come to where I live So my mama used to drop me at your crib Like four maybe five a m I ain't get no good sleep 'til I was twenty-seven I used to wear my big bro clothes He used to let me borrow some of your clothes I thought that I looked funny in 'em It's only you and lil' Jojo Yo parents used to treat me like they third son I'm the first one buckin' on any person tryna make you feel hurt or something You my brother I murder something for you Throw that dirty gun into the Chattahoochee You Louis I be Gucci we was Webbie and Boosie with the low fade Brush my hair for days still ain't have no waves Now we talkin' through a window while you in a cage I'ma come get you when they figure out your date I was in and out the States you was rapid on the rage Had Atlanta goin' crazy I was packin' out the stage in different places You hit me said Cassandra had your baby The day that Kobe died I'm at the Grammy's in LA Pray Allah can show you grace and the Lord stay out the way But when you caught that other case I ain't know what your a*s was thinking My momma said to say You ain't too old to get a spankin' Still one of her children but she feel like you needa be thankful yeah I've done seen some better days before Feeling like forever was a long time ago Balance the highs and the lows Get your blindfold only God knows I've done seen some better days before Feeling like forever was a long time ago Balancin' highs and the lows Get your blindfold only God knows Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Life gets too real make you you Life skills you build make you choose Between old times and new waves Fake friends and real snakes false knowns and true values Computer it to see through it we do it Take a moment to breathe and achieve through it Stay free through it cause your vision makes me your slave Uh look So I pray for better days Check To make it to forever took a very long time I took every wrong turn packed a long line Just for rapping long words **** a net worth I made a million off of merch Pay the bills first and then invest in guest verses Progress **** the lessons the blessings the journey Agitate the white guilt explain the black burden The stresses the entrance the exit the purpose Prayin' that we see some better days between worse ones Nothing's ever perfect but I made it so my mom's ain't working Off of murkin instramentals and there's no coincidence When I was little I was very sensitive Never was talkative n***a don't even try to tickle 'em Me and my brothers and sis an 'em slept in the same room Suffered the same afflictions See the reflection of a n***a that never liked attention Don't need acceptance from strangers coming in mentions I got protection papa had the right prediction Said I was destined to be whatever I envisioned I manifested blessin' that I made it out the club at twenty seven The weapon was formed against me I formed against the weapon Tried to stretch 'em but n***as sprintin' If we don't catch 'em then God will get 'em then We ain't gotta get into karma if we ain't kill a man But you did in the better days Now I miss my friend I've done seen some better days before **** Feeling like forever was a long time ago Balance the highs and the lows Get your blindfold only God knows I've done seen some better days before Feeling like forever was a long time ago
