Luxury but make it bittersweet I like that yea mhm It’s the every day rappin, Mr never make it happen, He could never be a rapper, How he on the stage and rappin, How’d it happen huh, He snappin, huh, Not a poet but i’m slammin, And i’m crackin all the codes I needed after the fact, Guess that i’m actually back, And yes can actually rap, I took my cape off in June, This villian’s actually cracked, Don’t look dazed and confused, Don’t get lost by the views, There’s a man in the pool, One day that man could be you Shoulda had a mill in views The life will be the death of me Tried to bag a lil boo But she ain’t wanna mess with me Now i’m back, a different mood Im working thru the recipes  People tryna tell me what to do I get the message, we gone And we gone, so muthafucka be strong Be strong, I’m tryna soar the beyond The beyond, we dropping gems till we on Till We on, yea I should be on stages instead of my playstation, Getting paid in my weight instead of minimum wages, I can’t fake no more, I need patience, I can’t take no more, I need saving, Lost a couple thous and a couple friends, Took a couple trips on the biz to make a couple ends, Kinda glad it happened, got some lessons in, I’m passionate, please do not tell me what to be happy with Set a goal, i’m passin it, Swimmin like i’m passionpit, Wrote a couple verses, Now they irking like i’m average, Never that,  They want me to bring back old flows like a progressive ad, Maybe I just wanna move pass, i’m progressing that,  Grateful, I forever am, Luxuries I never planned, Hard growing up In my bittersweet Neverland, Bittersweet luxuries forever man I don't understand how people live it's amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say yea another day let's do it, how do people do it, i don't know how it gets easier, every day it gets a little easier but you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part, but it does get easier ok

Ok ok Here’s the secret to being happy, Just pretend you are happy and eventually you’ll forget you’re pretending Maybe you’re right, just need to stop complaining and work harder, Everyone else is doing it, why am I so special? Maybe i’m just a fool who doesn’t know what I should get, Maybe i’m just a fool who doesn’t know when i’m spent, Surely didn’t know that it would be so bittersweet, Surely didn’t know that it would lead to luxury I don’t really know if I should be here, Just being honest, I don’t really know if I can hear clear, All this change that i’m rocking, In my pink prada wallet, With not a cent to my name, Addicted to luxuries, I lock in a frame, In my pink wonderland, I just charge to the game, I don’t like to play, It’s lame, Dress me up like your favorite barbie doll, I am not a 10 out of a 10 or a Ken, But we can play pretend, again and again, And again and again and again and again I’m your best kept secret, Show me to the world, Let go of that feeling, Please don’t hold me like a pearl, Maybe i’m just a fool who doesn’t know what I should get, Maybe i’m just a fool who doesn’t know when i’m spent, Surely didn’t know that it would be so bittersweet, Surely didn’t know that it would lead to luxury Can I ask you something? Would that really have made you happy? Yea I mean for a little bit, but then, Probably? So what does it matter? But there has to be more Hey Benny, you ok?

I’m not done, Hold on i’m not done, I’m not done I didnt come from such a great home, One day I started running and that seemed to make sense so I just kept running When I grow up I want to be just like you and I think i’m on the right track What do you do when you get sad? How do you not be sad? When you get sad you run straight ahead Yea Don’t you stop running or look behind you (I can’t find my phone) (Don’t leave me to deal with this alone) Keep running forward no matter what (Yea) All that exist is what’s ahead (Yea yea I can’t) I can’t find my phone, Don’t leave me to deal with this alone, I can’t feel my feet firm on the ground, All my insecurities are g- g- gone, Flying through the air no gps, I convince myself i’m in control, I try to change course, But I can’t I try to change course, But I can’t I’m already halfway down, I can’t break this fall, I’m already too far out, Can’t commit my wrongs, I’m already halfway there, Halfway from the top, I really miss the ground, Wish I felt this from the start, The people in your life will try to hold you back, slow you down, but you don’t let them It’s all ok, it would be, Were you not now halfway down It’s a disgrace is what it is Find your peace big guy, find it I wish I could have known about the view from halfway down You know I think it just goes to show You can be the fastest runner in the world but you can’t outrun the truth
