Moving Fast

Pedal past rose petals, driving Miss Daisy
Thinking the sun is a flower that was planted on Earth
They went from thinking that I'm so special to nigga you crazy
Somehow the stars gained they power when my momma gave birth,
I knew life was gone be messed up
When I saw my friends jump my cousin in the back of the church
And every time I try to help that nigga, he get mad at me
I'm so confused, like who really hurt
I swear we grew up so fast, middle school chasing ass
We ain't had no favorite teachers, we just had a favorite class
First day of school everybody comparing schedules
The class you want with shorty
Your homie in it, sitting next to her
Ain't nobody's fault
You ain't had a chance to holla
You and your homies played ball
While she was gone all summer
Thinking I gotta find a way
I gotta get some leverage
Then you wake up one day
Shorty got kids, or she pregnant
Time was

I still wake up and think it's crazy
Ain't no way I'm a father
Always knew I'd have a son
Ain't no way that's my daughter
They say it's power in the tongue
And I always knew I have everything I spoke on me
I always said my child would be my twin
And she is
Yeah, I said she, joke's on me
But don't laugh too long
Cause she all I ever needed
I'm just trying to find the reason I never prayed for this
And the closest I'll ever be to a deadbeat is paying for my raising
I'm dead broke, I ain't paying for shit
But I appreciate the compliments
Boosting my girl dad confidence
Had to become more flexible
Me and my baby mama split
Whew
That's some tough shit to think about
Now I'm swerving on dark roads
See my friends take the scenic route
Maybe one day I'll come back to my senses
And realize that love travels at an even greater distance, when you not
