Quintessential Fantasy
Growing up I never had much to my name
A couple dollars and pennies and I'd feel so much fame
Then a couple of friends came and showed me some things
Mom and dad were never happy with the way it would swing
They said apples don't fall very far from the tree
If you follow what they do, you'll never hear from me
That's when I decided to do what was right
With some slaps and some tears I never put up a fight
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Growing up in the good ol' 2770
Teenager me never did what she was told
Hung around with some guys who said they were down for me
Little did I know they were using me
And mama always said do what was right
I did all I could, studied up all night
Never used to see the worth of me
Looked for in it in a boy or three
Quintessential
It's a quintessential fantasy
Oh no, so high
Money so high that we can't reach
Quintessential
It's a quintessential fantasy
Oh no, so high
Money so high that we can't reach
Waking up in the morning on the edge of adolescence
Doin' what is right's the only thing i've had success in
I don't want my mama always stressin'
Everything I do it always ends up with my father teaching lessons
I'm blessed 'coz it keeps me from the streets and get arrested
You guessed, got me ballin' for a school I'm representin'
I was picking pockets from the system
Getting back to who I was supposed to be
On god! It was a mission
I know I don't wanna be like other guys
Poppin' pills just to fly up in the sky so high
Maybe it's just how it be
Or is it just insanity?
Even though I really don't know what it's like
Living real world problems in an average life
Maybe in the next reality
My quintessential fantasy
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Uh uh uh oh uh oh uh oh
Said my mama always said do what was right
I did all I could, studied up all night
Never used to see the worth of me
Looked for in it in a boy or three
Quintessential
It's a quintessential fantasy
Oh no, so high
Money so high that we can't reach
Quintessential
It's a quintessential fantasy
Oh no, so high

It's a quintessential fantasy
Money so high that we can't reach
