Opportunity Cost

Everything costs something bro

Winning somewhere, somewhere else you just lost something though

The cost of opportunities is always good to know

But if you know that then you're good to go

Yea, no dreams too big

Chase anything you have the passion to do

Only a dream 'till it happens to you

Finally seeing money now I'm acting a fool

Never thought touring the world all year would be something I might actually do

Friends came through got me so high

I forgot who I was passin' it to

Party in a mansion splash in a pool

Reminiscing '06 back in the school

When my whole crew would come through and rap with us too

Couple of them been goons, packin in a tool

Go ahead try and talk shit on me

I squad up come back with a crew

Call me a bitch see what that's gonna do

Fights in the streets like that shit was cool

Yea, We used to do dumb shit daily

Dreamed since I was just a baby

Now I'm here its "Fuck you, pay me"

I just had enough of waiting

I worked hard, they stuck with lazy

If I stayed I'd have just went crazy

People change

Everything's in constant motion

My old girl's across the ocean

Some stuff fades thats lost devotion

Some folks stay some come and go

Ain't what you think it's what you know

I must run fast you're running slow

Smoke, break down some kush and roll a dutch

Right now my vibe's so alive so please

When we smoke just hush

Me and some of those who's closest to me haven't spoken much

Crazy when you learn the cost of blowing up

Yea

I know I should keep in better touch

But that door it never shuts

Even when we chilled I never said that much

Sometimes it be worth the bullshit sometimes you should let it flush

Yea, but when I'm on tour now I just get a rush

Everything is hella plush

Get caught up in all the girls I get and stuff

Meanwhile I see some girls I used to know are getting wed and stuff

Having kids with full salary jobs while I'm just getting drunk

Missing every birthday anniversary

Yesterday my moms got out of surgery

Wasn't even in town

Shows and after parties what I've been 'round

Finding out the news late

Imagine how that shit sound

Sit down priorities are all over the place and shit

Stress levels rise and that J gets lit

Try on shoes that Jay Z fit

Fuck all that complacent shit

I'm just dropping crazy shit

Trying to outdo those fool who think they can spit

But I can't even lie

All this real life shit is passing me by

Talking to myself and I'm asking me why

Would I feel better as an average guy?

But I know that's just a lie

Pour up a glass and get high

Wonder if this rockstar life taking a toll on me like I'm asking to die

Going on tour for 6 months, hug moms right after she sigh

Look up wish me luck when you see that plane pass in the sky

No Stress bullshit gets passed to the side

Working hard to make sure I'mma be the man when I die

Yea

Hey Gerald I just wanted to leave a message

You have risen to the peaks of A. behavior
