Mountain View
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry on Mountain View
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry 'round Mountain View
Tell me why everyone got it there
Tell me how everyone playing fair
Tell me how I never came from no brown field
Still the grass so much greener there
It's clean and care-free
Nobody think about what they can't see
Nobody worried 'bout what they can be
They're born on a coast and they ride it hands-free
Ain't worried 'bout nothing, trust I ain't come from the bottom
Ain't stopping till I'm at the top of the mountain like them
I've seen what the city looks like
From the top and the bottom and everything all in the mid
I've been from the coast to the coast to the coast
And I've traveled the world and I've been back again
And still I imagine a road where you walk up and down
And you run into nothing but friends
I'm saying like two kids, two parents
A dog and a cat and like maybe a Benz
A place where the sun always out
And we got enough clouds to like balance the good and the bad
A place where the whole family stay
There's never no problems past dark till the morning time hits
But now spend a day in my pad
And spend every night at the park till tomorrow begins
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry 'round Mountain View
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry on Mountain View
I see my life through a telephone
If I told you my life would you tell it all
All this weight on my chest, gotta get it off
I try my best but you tell me I did it wrong
The top of the mountain is cool
But I'm never gon' look up to you
You ain't do shit for the people you see that be struggling
How could you want me to lose?
I just wanna stay alive
Gotta make change, gotta change lives
I don't need a lot, I don't wanna waste time
Everything I got, you can never change mine
I define the life I live, I look past you
Move the way I do because I have to
Love my princess, I built this castle
With my two hands and that's a perfect example
I did it 'cause I have a real passion
Imagine a life full of darkness, tragic, I will never have it
Dream of a scene where my family is happy
Seen everything, I just gotta make it happen
Forget the fashion 'cause I flex in my Vans
Open-minded, see success in my hands
Don't need a milli, I just need all my fans
When I'm out the city, I owe all this to them
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry 'round, hurry 'round
It's about the proximities in which you stay and who you're around
Ray is in Miami. And if you ask him
"Yo, what did Range tell you more than anything?"
"He told me to leave Roanoke"
"What did he tell you every time he talked to you?"
"He told me to leave Roanoke
He told me get out of Roanoke." Right?
'Cause I can't tell him how to produce, right?
I was like, "Yo, Ray, you need to get out of Roanoke
Ray you need to get out of Roanoke
Come see me in Philly
Come see me, come meet cats up here
This producer been trying to do things at a higher level"
"Okay. Alright. Cool. Alright. Oh, I got signed to Cool & Dre."
"Oh, cool, Ray, go! Get out! Either move up here or move down there
Either way, get out of Roanoke
Get out of Roanoke
Get out of Roanoke
Get out of Roanoke
Get out of Roanoke
Get out of Roanoke"
He leave Roanoke, next thing you know
"I got this placement, I got that placement"
Right? So, you gotta be where you can be to be great
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry on Mountain View
Closing my eyes, don't see nothing but visions of living on Mountain View
Something about all them late nights, spending sitting on Mountain View
Pretty people, pretty city, ain't nobody worry on Mountain View
Don't nothing compare to them early mornings, never hurry 'round Mountain View
Tell me why everyone got it there
