Lyrics
CHORUS
She moved right up the block from me.
Right next door to Mr. Oglevey.
I acted like I didn't see her.
Because my heart was pumpin' fear.
One day I was feelin' motivated.
Took my Granddaddy lawnmower
total player.
Got to see her on a weekly basis.
While savin'
so I can take her places.
We hit high school
things changed.
She was like
friends we remain.
I was like
what?
Skip that!
We goin' to the prom
I'ma flip that!
VERSE
I told her that was irrelevant!
Especially seein'
all the time we spent.
I'm wonderin'
if she's under
the spell I spit.
And what we drinkin'
we hella bent!
Ridin' around in an Uber Lift.
Laughin'
hopin' that we two would kiss.
Seein'
and gazin at the moon and shit.
Now, all we need
is a pool
as she drifts
she leaned over
to roll a spliff.
Usin' Backwoods.
You know,
showin' off and shit.
From around the way.
She ain't afraid of a switch.
Ask me
she the coolest chick.
And quick to handle
the rudest Nig.
She grabbed my phone
and she took the smoothest pic.
She posted it on her social
with the coolest grin.
I introduced her
to one of my
coldest fam.
Immediately
I got the approval stamp.
I was never worried
crazy, sexy, cool, it down.
Might be about time
to go see mom dukes now.
Play times up!
Time for me to settle down.
Year 6!
We married,
with 4 kid's!
Ya mama and nem was at the wedding.
They a straight trip!
Ya cousin still owe me money cause he think he funny
he got until this weekend
before I make 'em run it!
One of our kid's
they got a big ass head.
That's yo side of the family.
Look at yo uncle Fred!
You know one of the girls
they goin' need therapy.
I've already called the doctor
she scaring me.
Watching them grow up
via the internet,
missing those moments that
we soon forget.
Picking up pieces of our
own regret.
But fooling ourselves into thinking
that we know what's best.
Now we old den a muthafucka.
What's next?
The kid's are grown
and
I'm fat.
The dog is old.
The cat ran away.
My wife and I
we wade through worse to get to better days.
If I have lived to see the sun come up
and open my eyes
I'm good.
Just wanted to see if you still pop open then thighs.
I wanted to tell you a story and what it means,
to have a vision
a vivid
and spectacular dreams.
CHORUS
She moved right up the block from me.
Right next door to Mr. Oglevey.

One day I was feelin' motivated.

total player.
Got to see her on a weekly basis.
While savin'
