Or is missing what we had outta the question I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson I got flows for the Marilyn Monroe's who's there before it all I guess thats how it goes they hear about your cons or focus on your pro's and love you for who you are from the bottom of their soul but those same ones from your area will grow into women that are ready to get married at hello because of what they allow where are they all now I know there somewhere watching so I'm trying to make them proud searching for the meaning you'll find it next to me and tell me that I'm the finest I guess we finally get to see I'm feeling like Nas who am I to disagree they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key it's probably why I'm in this b-tch shining jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded and the bandwagons full you can try and run behind it I'm sorry poolside drinking margharita rounds shout out to my city though I hardly be in town I'm the Black Sheep, but Chris Farley wears the crown and I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down I'm in the World where things are taken, never given how long they choose to love you will never be your decision and I'm aware this could be the last time you listen so while I'm still in this postion… [Chorus]
