Drive Slow

The seeds I've sown have begun to grow and ima start to harvest
From palm trees, throw shade down on where we've started
Keep your pennies, don't need your opinion (uh)
Well you do you, i'll be pleased to forgive you
Then we can chill by the window
Watching the clouds blow in through the moonlight
A pastime I indulge in when the star's bright
Just give me space and let me aline the planets
Weight of the world on my shoulders, I wonder if I can manage

I swam across the Atlantic
In search of some Cali weather expanding
The plan we had way back in 2000
Plus seventeen or so years, that shit was astounding like
Grateful for the love and the ones who keeping me grounded
When Lucifer creeps
And staying thirsty for the poison when vices are cheap
Take me to the garden of Eden where I'll be starvin'
By the way, I'll probably be having to beg your pardon

Thinkin' of living out my days under palm trees
Down the avenue I need to drive slow
Just help me cross these trees in my palm please
So I can simmer down and get my eyes low

One day I wanna build a house out of palm trees
Prayin' I can leave behind my homeland
Just fly me south of the border
When November comes, I'll say my goodbyes
There's little chance I'll ever come back

Right before I leave
I got some unfinished business I need to tend to
See, keeping my side of the street clean is paramount before I depart
Attempting to infiltrate the circle of stars (not really my style) but
Money, women, daily on the Daniel sippin'
Runnin', killing, these habits has got the devil grinnin'
Mummy
Grimace is just hopin' that the cycle's finished
She's seen it before and a daddy who had her kids

Now im praying not for a kindred spirit
Nor am I praying for higher horses or righteous livin'
He made some mistakes and I guess I made them too
Yeah, well only I saw from a different point of view
Awkward, she had to break the news
End of a tether
Cut them off cold like some wintery weather
Both growing old, leading lives that were separate
Missed out on Cupid's attendance
But luckily for this child in question
That only gave him the desire

Just to go and spend my days under palm trees
Down the avenue I need to drive slow
Just help me cross these trees in my palm please
So I can simmer down and get my eyes low

One day I wanna build a house out of palm trees
Prayin' I can leave behind my homeland
Just fly me south of the border when November comes
I'll say my goodbyes
There's little chance I'll ever come back

P.S. I can't forget my shopping list
Got myself a bit of some property
Maybe in the city or in 'the sticks'
Or plane tickets to paradise where the ocean lives

One day I'll sail in the distance with a pack of Silver rizla
Some personal effects or maybe one or two scriptures
Explainin' that i'm only comin' back on one condition
Umbrella in his hand, the wizard telling me to listen

Look, careful in the rain
You'll catch a cold if your unprepared
I'm an outlaw, I don't need your rules
I live by the kick and snare
Plus some ivories to lullaby myself to sleep
When I was smoking way too much to slumber naturally
Yeah, uh, and as this flower grows
I'm asking myself if I ever will return
'Cause life is a dream when you're under palm trees
And just for that reason I say I can't leave

"Why, come back?
Why did, you need to disappear?
You're home, with him."
