This Ain't The NBA

I been dreamin' of big mansions
Up on the ocean yeah real fancy
Inundated with old phantoms
That fuck around dancin'
Copin' with the weight of lost answers
Messin' with samples
Isn't it a lot for them to handle?
When they got them rooms to wander
It's complicated cause I know that one day
I'll dwell up there among them
Kickin' it bayside with some friends
Away from that inimical humdrum

So I'm comin' up to breathe that air again
Ain't no apologies if I sound arrogant
Or if this whole thing is just a long-form lament
Cause sometimes it's like I'm trapped covered in cement
But I'm movin' day-to-day yeah I'm feelin' pretty low
I be workin' with this landscape but startin' with the door
Cause I'm tryina bring it in
But these mofuckas tryina smear the paint again
And when I open up I fear they gone hate away
Yet I still gotta say what I gotta say
This ain't the NBA I don't need yo give n' go
I be tryina box you out so now we at the UPS store
Cause you goin' travelin'
No more listenin' to that mouth babblin'
I can't stand all them dead thoughts rattlin'
If you gone keep runnin' trap then we battlin'
I ain't fuckin' with the way you dogmatic in yo blood
So you about to get obliterated underneath the sun

It keep fuckin' with my head that you had to go and cross the line
Hurts more in my veins than you could ever realize
Even with these new days that have come along
I've had to look at my own life
(So now we move on)
It keep fuckin' with my head that you had to go and cross the line
(You couldn't let go)
Hurts more in my veins than you could ever realize
(I always wanted more)
Even with these new days that have come along
I've had to look at my own life
(So now we move on)

Guess it's open water open season I be grievin'
Feel forgotton what's the reason
Disregarded soul imparted fuck yo pardon
I ain't no burden I was just gettin' started
Lovin' you as a matter a fact I thought you were too
But now I know that shit wasn't on the muthafuckin' menu
Turns out it wasn't just me and you it was him too
Just one night you stuck that knife in my loyalty
Bitch you know I woulda made you royalty
Fuck it I'm finna run up in the game and cash in on all my royalties
Scratch that where's the riches without no love?
Who gives a fuck about money if there's no one to share it with
Apparently my words were just fuckin' gibberish
Because I wrote you poems and songs and told you all along
I thought the world about you someone said never to make myself wrong
Hm well I thought you cherished me but how in yo right mind could you burn it to ashes so flippantly
Musta put yo conscience in some place distantly
Might as well have put yo fists to me
You know I never wanted you to become just another part of my life's history

It keep fuckin' with my head that you had to go and cross the line
(You couldn't let go)
Hurts more in my veins than you could ever realize
(I always wanted more)
Even with these new days that have come along
I've had to look at my own life
(So now we move on)
It keep fuckin' with my head that you had to go and cross the line
(You couldn't let go)
Hurts more in my veins than you could ever realize
(I always wanted more)
Even with these new days that have come along
I've had to look at my own life
(So now we move on)

I been dreamin' a big mansions
