The Resistance
(专辑: Thank Me Later - 2010)
Yesterday when we were getting high, you were invited. You would've liked it. I-I know you all too well. I
said that we could kiss the
past goodbye, but you weren't excited, there's no way to fight it. You can stay but shawty here I
go... [Verse 1] Uh, should I
spend the
weekend in Vegas? I'm living inside a
moment, not taking pictures to save it. I
mean, how could I
forget? My memories never faded. I
can't relate to these haters, my enemies never made it. I
am, still here with who I
started with. The
game needed life, I
put my heart in it. I
blew myself up, I'm on some martyr shit. Carried the
weight for my city like a
cargo ship. Uh. I'm 23, with a
money tree. Growing more too, I
just planted a
hundred seeds. It's ironic, 'cause my mother was a
flourist, and that's how she met my pops and now my garden is enourmous. It's happening Penny Lane, just like you said. I
avoided the
Coke game, and went with Sprite instead. Uh huh, that's word to the
millions that they putting up. I'm trying to do better than good enough. [Chorus] What am I
afraid of? This is suppose to be what dreams are made of. But people I
don't have the
time to hang with, always look at me and say the
same shit..(they say) You promised me you would never change. You promised me you would never change. [Verse 2] Uh. Am I
wrong for making light of my situation? Clap on. When 40 got some shit for me to snap on. Now that I'm on, I
don't really want to worry about getting back on. I'm just trying to stay on, get my fucking buffet on. I
heard they just moved my grandmother to a
nursing home. And I
be acting like I
don't know how to work a
phone. But hit redial you see that I
just called, some chick I
met at the
mall, that I
barley know at all and.. Plus this woman that I
messed with unprotected Texting saying that she wish she would've kept it. The
one that I'm laying next to just looked over and read it. Man I
couldn't tell you where the
fuck my head is, I'm holding on by a
thread it's.. Like I'm high right now, the
guy right now, and you can tell by looking in my eyes right now. That nothing really comes as a
surprise right now, 'cause we just having the
time of our lives right now. [Chorus] What am I
afraid of? This is suppose to be what dreams are made of. But people I
don't have the
time to hang with, always look at me and say the
same shit..(they say) You promised me you would never change. You promised you would never change. [Verse 3] Well all right. Uh. I
live by some advices, girl Lisa told me. The
other day, Lisa told that she missed the
old me. Which made me question when I
went missing. And when I
start treating my friends different. Maybe it was the
fast paced switch up. Or the
two guns in my face during the
stick up. Maybe cause the
girl I
thought I
trusted was who set the
whole shit up. Or the
fact I
haven't seen em since they locked Big Rich up. I
know. At the
same time I'm quick to forget. I'm bout to roll me up a
blunt with my list of regrets. Burn it all, burn it all, I'm starting it fresh. Cause half the
time I
got it right I
probably guessed. Did I
just trade free time for camera time? Will I
blow all of this money baby, Hammer Time? I
just need some closure. Aint no turning back for me I'm in till it's over.
