"FLOAT" lyrics

"FLOAT"

Do I have to go?
Well maybe for a little
They say goodbye is brutal, see you later's just a brittle
Remember you used to do this rapping shit so non-comital
Homeroom, speech class, was walking in the middle
Classroom Richard Price, tryna get the people going
Serious has left the room, now I'm accidentally flowing
Shoutout Marcus you have no idea
That dumbass battle sparked a whole career
And ain't it funny how we look back at time we wished we took back, but wrong
We was in the right place for us all along
Cold crib, [?] station, put your records on
We'll tip wine, smoke peach, [?]
Night shift, standing by the walk-in
While Jordan had to clock in, we stood there trading poems
Didn't know it then, but I was floating for a purpose
It was something unseen

Do I have to go?
Do you have to stay?
I'll be all alone
You'll be far away
I'm not trying to whine or put up a fight
But how will I know if I'm doing this right?

When can I come home?
Will you still be here?
It feels like so long
It's just been six years
I already feel old
I miss when we were five
There's better days ahead, but all my favorites are behind

Word up
We riding 'round in the whip flippin' birds up
Windows all down so the whole city heard us
Big dreams, that's so no one could deter us
We was making diamonds, put us in a furnace
And we wasn't scared of nothin', and nobody could hurt us
And I was on the come up
At least that's what the words was
It was such an oyster of a world
Miss how good it felt to live
Miss that brave but naïve girl
Sometimes life is really cruel just to show us all the people that we dearly miss who don't know us
Then my only wish was just to travel to Paris
Now my only wish is have back half my parents
But that's what we call living
What we call evolving
What we call a cycle, constantly revolving
Grateful that I had it even though I miss 'em
So many good moments
Glad I got to list 'em

Do I have to go?
Do you have to stay?
I'll be all alone
You'll be far away
I'm not trying to whine or put up a fight
But how will I know if I'm doing this right?

When can I come home?
Will you still be here?
It feels like so long
It's just been six years
I already feel old
I miss when we were five
There's better days ahead, but all my favorites are behind

There's better days ahead, but all my favorites are behind
