Where do I start?
I [F#] have more lives than I can count.
[C#m] I want too many all nighters.
I hear surfing these crowds.
[G#m] And it's hard to remember names when every day [F#] you wake up in a different town.
[C#m] So be careful what you're wishing for when you think no one's around.
Got [G#m] a first contract on that contact.
[F#] Ha!
Still blows my [C#m] mind.
How to became more than became worldwide.
Hold [G#m] up, man I went too far.
Gotta [F#] go back to the start.
Raps in the [C#m] car, beats in the garage, and raps in the walls.
Never knew another crew iller than ours.
[G#m] We on course.
_ [F#] Not with a few detours.
[C#m] Along the way I lost faith in my idols.
Found a wreck damn near [G#m] suicidal.
See we both seen things that'll make [F#] a thief sing like an angel in a church [C#m] revival.
So we did a few shows and we did a few tours to ensure our own personal [G#m] survival.
_ This for [F#] my shortcuts and my dead ends [C#m] and my dead friends and my demons and my lack of feelings.
This evening [G#m] I've been meaning to do this.
[F#] Been busy making these hits.
[C#m] See we just some neighborhood kids trying to live our dreams out in this bitch.
And I [G#m] probably won't stop till I'm rich.
[F#] And I know that sounds selfish.
[C#m] Spend so much time with my mules that my girls always jealous.
[G#m] In the end I'm probably gonna have some [F#] regrets.
But they won't outshine my [C#m] attempts.
When it's all said and done we ain't here that long.
Better get your feet wet.
