The Resistance

Yesterday when we were getting high, you were invited
You would've liked it. I-I know you all too well
I said that we could kiss the past goodbye, but you weren't excited, there's no way to fight it
You can stay but shawty here I go...

[Verse 1:]
Uh, should I spend the weekend in Vegas?
I'm living inside a moment, not taking pictures to save it
I mean, how could I forget? My memories never faded
I can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it
I am, still here with who I started with
The game needed life, I put my heart in it
I blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit
Carried the weight for my city like a cargo ship
Uh. I'm 23, with a money tree
Growing more too, I just planted a hundred seeds
It's ironic, 'cause my mother was a flourist
and that's how she met my pops and now my garden is enourmous
It's happening Penny Lane, just like you said
I avoided the Coke game, and went with Sprite instead
Uh huh, that's word to the millions that they putting up
I'm trying to do better than good enough.

[Chorus:]
What am I afraid of? This is suppose to be what dreams are made of
But people I don't have the time to hang with, always look at me and say the same shit..(they say)
You promised me you would never change
You promised me you would never change.

[Verse 2:]
Uh. Am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on
When 40 got some shit for me to snap on
Now that I'm on, I don't really want to worry about getting back on
I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffet on
I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home
And I be acting like I don't know how to work a phone
But hit redial you see that I just called, some chick I met at the mall
that I barley know at all and
Plus this woman that I messed with unprotected
Texting saying that she wish she would've kept it
The one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it
Man I couldn't tell you where the fuck my head is, I'm holding on by a thread it's
Like I'm high right now, the guy right now, and you can tell by looking in my eyes right now
That nothing really comes as a surprise right now
'cause we just having the time of our lives right now.

[Chorus:]
What am I afraid of? This is suppose to be what dreams are made of
But people I don't have the time to hang with, always look at me and say the same shit..(they say)
You promised me you would never change
You promised you would never change.

[Verse 3:]
Well all right. Uh. I live by some advices, girl Lisa told me
The other day, Lisa told that she missed the old me
Which made me question when I went missing
And when I start treating my friends different
Maybe it was the fast paced switch up
Or the two guns in my face during the stick up
Maybe cause the girl I thought I trusted was who set the whole shit up
Or the fact I haven't seen em since they locked Big Rich up
I know. At the same time I'm quick to forget
I'm bout to roll me up a blunt with my list of regrets
Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh
Cause half the time I got it right I probably guessed
Did I just trade free time for camera time?
Will I blow all of this money baby, Hammer Time?
I just need some closure
Aint no turning back for me I'm in till it's over.
