Where We Wanna Be

Fillin' the void I'm just
Killin' the noise of the
Voice in my head
Some good choices some bad
Folks rejoicing folks sad
But we all in our bag
Cause the times that we have
Not the times that we had

And the lives that we want
Not the lives that we get
So we lay there in bed
We're just waiting for death
Gotta go out and get
What we want it to be
Never know who we are
Till we find who we need

By our side thick or thin
Fireflies play pretend when
The night come around
And they ain't feeling down
When they drown in the drink
Get too faded to think
Used to float but my ship fell
It started to sink

Used to roll with no seatbelt
Till I start to think about
Things I could lose and the
Things I could be without
Wanna be on the news wanna
Be what they read about
Gone be the man gone be
What they speak about

Remember back in the day
When we used to be sneaking out
Making that bread midnight
Shift sun be peaking out
Dirty hands clean money
You know we ain't cheating now
Man I guess I got lucky
The hill's getting steeper now

Went from keeping the grounds
To tipping the groundskeeper
Went from makin' the rounds
To waving to crowds of people
Up on stage they gone be
Clapping loud for me
Staying patient don't have to
Happen now for me
For now it's me against
All the people that

Stay hating praying I lose
Got all this doubt for me but I
Stay playing nothing to prove
Make no one proud but me
Been thinking this way since
A child in time you'll see
Whether we make or not
Remaining wild and free

Cause we got a long way to go
Till we get where we wanna be
Nothing to show yet but our
Blood sweat and misery
From the end of the road
To the middle of MSG
Holding myself back
I'm my own worst enemy

Had the books in the backshelf
Sipping Henessey now I'm
Trading my past self
For the better me
I checked and my bag left
Needed currency ends to means
Paid off my bad debts
Sold all the Louie V Double G's

Now I got a fat check and
Some denim jeans
No need fact check man
We chasin' dreams
Back in the lab tech
Cheffin' up beats
Lab's in the back shed
Next to the trees they

Tell you to reach for the stars
Then when they see
That you're making it far
They'll say get your head
Out the clouds man
Shoulda known from the start

That you add a D to evil get devil
Add a O to God get Good
Whole different breed a new level
Don't gotta knock on wood.

Don't need no medals or diamonds
Just want the good life
I'm good with rentals and ramen
Yeah that's a good night
Just having fun with it
Makin' leaps and bounds
Weekend in London
Convert from greens to pounds
And we went from

Keeping the grounds
To tipping the groundskeeper
Went from making the rounds
To waving to crowds of people
Up on stage they gone be
Clapping loud for me
Staying patient don't have to
Happen now for me
For now it's me
Against all the people that

Stay hating praying I lose
Got all this doubt for me but I
Stay playing nothing to prove
Make no one proud but me
Been thinking this way since
A child in time you'll see
Whether we make or not
Remaining wild and free

Cause we got a long way to go
Till we get where we wanna be
Nothing to show yet but our
Blood sweat and misery
From the end of the road
To the middle of MSG
Holding myself back
I'm my own worst enemy

Had the books in the backshelf
Sipping Henessey now I'm
Trading my past self
For the better me
I checked and my bag left
Needed currency ends to means
Paid off my bad debts
Sold all the Louie V Double G's
Now I made it cause I

Stayed praying nothing to lose
Killed all the doubt for me
Now they stay playing bumping
My tunes made mama proud of me
Been thinking this way since
A child in time you'll see
Whether we make or not
Remaining wild and free
