The Resistance

Yesterday when we were getting high
You were invited, you would've liked it
Uh-uh-ah 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 shit
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 shit
They say, "You promised me you would never change"
(Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
You promised me you would never change
(Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)

Uh, (Ha-a-a) am I wrong for making light of my situation?
Clap on, before they got some shit 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 fucking 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 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

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 shit
They say, "You promised me you would never change"
(Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
You promised me you would never change
(Uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)

(Ha-a-a) 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 shit 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 blunt 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
