Dead Flies (30's Version) Lyrics

I'ma go ahead and drink to this one

Since I didn't have one at the right time

Figured it was time to have one while in my right mind

Had to make sure the hook came before the right line

Cause I didn't want to sink in the night time

Got to a point where I was just being a Debbie Downer

Or a Negative Nancy, but I was just Kickin' It Karen

Just trying to manage, not wanting my skills to vanish

Consider myself Barry, just trying to go bananas

Still kicking, now, how you love that

It's been documented since I was a rugrat

But I don't want this to be about how I rose above the bad

Cause I still look at things to this day like what was that

Or maybe it's just me that really needs to practice

Trying not to let every single thing be a factor

And overthinking because all it does is create madness

But am I overreacting or are you underreacting

That's what happens when you give somebody the world and too much of it

Cause money's bound to be wasted down to nothing when you got too much budget

Should've told myself that at 2001 and the Gold Nugget

I try to always put my all in this shit

Keep my ego feeling 7 feet tall in this bitch

I'm like Myles to this game, I keep my balls in this bitch

Let me chill before people get to pausing and shit

That's on general principle, learn there's a lot of principles

Before you try to throw the book and send me to the principal

Saying I'm being despicable, but it's so unforgettable

That when I get whimsical, it's a matter of getting it through

Keeping that in mind, what is acceptance to you

Does it mean respecting the booth and just accepting the truth

That you don't waste a lot of time basking in the essence

And you come with no exception when you do what you expected to do

One day we gon' talk about what it means to create

And I'm okay if that turns into a debate

All this selective support like you on payroll for the shit that they make

Here go a dollar, now go make something shake

Used to wonder how much stuff I could change with two dollars

Now I wanna see how much of that I can change in 2 hours

Might be an answer I won't find out for another 2 years

And that's what happens when the wrong people get too much power

Just some tongue in cheek humor be careful when you devour

But is life more about giving or about what you take out of

Maybe the liquor's getting to me around these hours

But it's just Moscato, seven percent alcohol by volume

And I can't believe we lost Mac

Crazy how much innocence we had as kids and I can't believe we lost that

Same bridge that was for sale I bought and it feels like I lost stacks

But it'll take me a ton of millions to recoup that loss back

But back to innocence and that '02 Accord

Back when the studio was something that I could not afford

And I used to pull out the flip phone and press record

And brought it to people as entertainment who were bored

And then they looked at me and responded like what is you on

And then it stopped playing at a minute and thirty seconds

Scrolled up to the second voice memo like wait there's more

Your boy done came a long way since I jumped off the porch

And they be like you a spittin' bastard

Speaking real hoping they don't skip past it

I've been waiting on this chapter

Ahh, just what I needed
