Lyrics

The Resistance

Yesterday when we were getting high You were invited, you would've liked it Uh-uh 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 could stay, but shawty here I go Uh, should I spend the weekend in Vegas? I'm living inside the moment, not taking pictures to save it I mean, how could I forget? My memory's 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 sh- Carry the weight for my city, like a cargo ship Uh, I'm 23 with a money tree Growing more too, I just planted a hunna seeds It's ironic 'cause my mother was a florist And that's how she met my pops And now my garden is enormous It's happenin' Penny Lane, just like you said I avoided the Coke game and went with Sprite instead Uh-uh, that's word to the millions that they puttin' up I'm tryna do better than good enough What am I afraid of? This is supposed 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 sh- They say, "You promised me you would never change" You promised me you would never change Am I wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on, before they got some sh- for me to snap on Now that I'm on, I don't really wanna worry 'bout gettin' back on I'm just tryna stay on, get my f- buffet on I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home And I be actin' like I don't know how to work a phone But hit re-dial, you'll see that I just called some chick I met at the mall That I barely know at all And, plus this woman that I messed with unprotected Texted saying she wished she would have kept it The one that I'm layin' next to just looked over and read it Man, I couldn't tell you where the f- 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 What am I afraid of? This is supposed 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 sh- They say, "You promised me you would never change" You promised me you would never change Uh, I live by some advice this girl Alyssa told me The other day Alyssa told me 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 Put up two guns in my face during the stick up Maybe 'cause the girl I thought trusted was who set the whole s- up But in fact I haven't seen 'em, since they locked Big Rich up I know, the same time I'm quick to forget I'm 'bout to roll me up a - with my list of regrets Burn it all, burn it all, I'm startin' 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? Yeah, I just need some closure Ain't no turning back for me, I'm in it 'til it's over
