Lyrics

0:25So what's a young man to do
0:27Had a million in the bank when I turned 22 Alright
0:32Am I the same me Doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn't changed me
0:37If only that were true now But ain't an artist in the game that can do what I do out
0:43I ain't your little secret no more But listen real close and I give you one more
0:48See all of these American dreams that I find myself living out
0:54Mixed with all of these man-made women that I find myself digging out
1:00They tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around
1:06But I ain't ever been afraid of other people getting inside
1:10I'm more afraid of what I got on the inside getting out
1:18And what was left A perfect mess
1:30And if we forget A perfect mess
1:42And what was left A perfect mess
1:55That we forget
2:03Been a while since '09 'member when I told you it was
2:07A matter of time that you
2:09Believed me Did it take this long
2:11I told Sean if I ever got on that I'd never ever buy a chain with ice
2:16And I didn't
2:18Before this all changed my life from dreams
2:21In the dorm room to doing big things
2:24In the boardroom
2:26See all of these non-American bottles that I find myself sipping on
2:31Mixed with all of the things I'mma have to relearn how to
2:36One day live without
2:37Mixed with all of the things inside my head that I can't figure out
2:44But I ain't ever been afraid of people seeing inside
2:47I'm more afraid of what I got on the inside getting out
2:55And what was left A perfect mess
3:08And if we forget A perfect mess
3:20And what was left A perfect mess
3:32That we forget
So  what's a young man to do
Had a million in the bank when I turned 22  Alright
Am I the same me  Doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn't changed me
If only that were true now  But ain't an artist in the game that can do what I do out
I ain't your little secret no more  But listen real close  and I give you one more
See all of these American dreams  that I find myself living out
Mixed with all of these man-made women that I find myself digging out
They tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around
But I ain't ever been afraid of other people getting inside
I'm more afraid of what I got on the inside  getting out
And what was left  A perfect mess
And if we forget  A perfect mess
And what was left  A perfect mess
That we forget
Been a while since '09 'member when I told you it was
A matter of time that you
Believed me  Did it take this long
I told Sean if I ever got on that I'd never ever buy a chain with ice
And I didn't
Before this all changed my life  from dreams
In the dorm room  to doing big things
In the boardroom
See all of these non-American bottles that I find myself sipping on
Mixed with all of the things I'mma have to relearn how to
One day live without
Mixed with all of the things inside my head that I can't figure out
But I ain't ever been afraid of people seeing inside
I'm more afraid of what I got on the inside  getting out
And what was left  A perfect mess
And if we forget  A perfect mess
And what was left  A perfect mess
That we forget
