For the Time Being...
Lyrics
Lately i been caught up in a richer me
I ain’t been living in the moment
I been thinking bout a future where i can pack up and take a trip to Italy
I’ll still be the same on the other side, its just a simple line of symmetry
Different’s always been my way of thinking
Bring a Fresh Prince vibe to find a Jada Pinkett
Not a girl thats overly enthused by fancy trinkets
I encounter women like that and it gets me drinking
I ain’t the person that i wanna be when off the bottle
Heading to destruction and i can’t let off the throttle
Hard to see whats good for me wearing these dirty goggles
Feeling better off letting the world be run by Donald
Haters gone pull up in a rolls like its a trump
But their attitude really show me that they some chumps
I pull up in the kia, my ego never shrunk
I see my ole reliable, while all you see is junk
See i’m different today, and prolly more mature
Growing with the fact, thats theres things that i haven’t learned
People love to speak on things that they haven’t endured
And claim to be all of these titles that they haven’t earned
But i’m guilty of it too, now i’m coming clean
I like to talk a lot of shit, with this i come in peace
If i don’t fit inside the puzzle, find another piece
Another rapper being fake, ain’t what i come to be
Come and see
Hunter Dreww in his bag, feeling complete
More successful than ever without a degree
Dreams are harder when your father never agreed
But I’ma be achieving all the things he never believed
And i don’t say that out of spite
He may not have been there when i was three
But held me down when i was twenty three
Thought i couldn’t make it twenty feet
He gave me legs like a centipede
To take a step to a better me
And now i’m content
But i don’t wanna pretend
I don’t want a normal life, i’m tryna keep it complex
I wanna have my music played and be the latest request
I wanna leave a mark on the world, be who they won’t forget
And that ain’t easy to attain
But you won’t hear me complain
Open and honest, and tell em all that i been afraid
That people won’t hear about everything that i overcame
Before i’m hitting the age that’ll see me dead in the grave, yeah
Past events gave me a colder heart
Had some friends jumping ship and left me there rowing hard
But when they see walking down Hollywood boulevard
They‘ll be wishing we was still tight, and couldn’t be pulled apart, damn
I acknowledge that everybody got different paths
We all got our X’s marked somewhere on different maps
Been some years since my ex left me for a different man
And i ain’t mad at ya, we just had some different plans
But i still get the chills thinking how people come and go
Frequent nights that i was up sipping a glass of rum and coke
Could’ve been the one but hit me with the touch and go
Now i contemplate giving women whats in my buttoned coat
Wish that i could do some things different
Even though i’m everything they isn’t
Tryna peak inside the window of my life
But they didn’t know i keep the whole thing tinted
I been out in Dover with the business
Hunter Dreww the man, is you with it
I done lost my patience with the women
Til i found a ride or die, riding pretty in a civic
I ain’t ever gave em no facade
I learned a lot by being round a fraud
Funny they won’t give you no applause
Till you got a foreign car, that you park in your garage
All these haters make me laugh
They act like i need em for my back
I got people that appreciate my craft
So i’m steady moving forward
Haters nipping at my calfs
Lately i been caught up in a richer me
I ain’t been living in the moment
I been thinking bout a future where i can pack up and take a trip to Italy
I’ll still be the same on the other side, its just a simple line of symmetry
