Nia Long

I remember day dreaming about nia long,
Like it was sumn i could see in shawty
They aint listen when i sing a song
Now when i play a song shit is like a sing-along
Girl said she need me but there's something that I needed more
She just bring up old shit like a ouija board
Like i know you see the crowds trying peep the boy,

All i see is birds having babies I don't need a stork
Getting used to crunching numbers up i dont need a dork
All my life i been a runner up now I need awards
Hate me cause im getting hot what you heated for?
Laker game sitting in a box just to see the score
I remember when i hooped wouldn't see the floor
Crazy how for me to ball I had to hit record
Now we sitting half-court let my sneakers see the floor
Thank the lord these metaphors came and opened hella doors
Need 7 figures and a dime what you settle for?
Reminiscing back on hard times I think I'm better for it
Know I had to earn stripes that I never wore
Just to settle scores
Cause right now im 0 for ten
My heart been broke and hopeless I hope it ends
Im folding back to old me i won't pretend
Cause even back then a nigga wasn't focusing like

I remember day dreaming about nia long
With a oversized hoodie pants pleated wrong
They aint listen when i sing a song
Now everytime i play a song shit is like a sing-along
Girl said she need me but there's something that I needed more
She just bring up old shit like a ouija board
Like i know you see the crowds trying peep da boy
So you ain't gotta stay around ain't no need to force

All i need is love in this life i dont need the war
Still i know a lot of niggas fake like CB4
Trying give 'em something on these records they ain't seen before
Why my brother in a cell like he the core
And my other brother doing sales like the beastie boys
This life shit is crazy you got to keep your choices right on the daily or shit could be destroyed
Niggas talk but never know what they speaking on
These are sensitive topics im touching
Cause going back to broke is not a discussion
This pressure got me coughing not robitussin
They talking war Soviet like I was Russian
I don't give a fuck then
With me it's all or it's nothing
I played the songs they played with me teddy ruxpin
Now lavon is hot like grease in the oven
These dreams i got can't stop im keeping em coming

I remember day dreaming about nia long
Like it was something i could see in shawty
They wouldn't listen when i sing a song
Now when i play a song shit is like a sing-along
Girl said she need me but there's something that I needed more
She just bring up old shit like a ouija board
Like i know you see the crowds trying peep the boy
So you ain't got to stay around ain't no need to force
I remember day dreaming about nia long
With a oversized hoodie pants pleated wrong
They aint listen when i sing a song
Now everytime i play a song shit is like a sing-along
Girl said she need me but there's something that I needed more
She just bring up old shit like a ouija board
Like i know you see the crowds trying peep the boy
Im jus tryna keep the course tell me what you need me for,
So you ain't got to stay around ain't no need to force
