8Ball, right side, I put it in the pocket
She don't know me anymore but she still keep me in that locket
Launch me into Jupiter, yeah put me in that rocket
Let me fly too close, let me in the air-lock and
I don't know where you're from but around here we talk with respect and
I got a lot of people I feel like I gotta protect and
I'm in ALL COSTS mode so don't even speak on em
I spoil myself why you think I act so rotten?
I had to shed my own skin a couple times to forget you
Now that I did I wonder why I even ever let you in (in, in)
In this perfect life with all the perfect people I know
I shed the negativity and I couldn't help but grow
In this perfect life with all the perfect people I know
I shed the negativity and I couldn't help but grow
Back when I had a flat tire for 2 years straight
Back when I asked questions but swear to God I still prayed
Back when I was still walking into class late
It was a flowers in my hair, your ame on my lips kind of day
Because I've been having these dreams since I was 17
Like fog every morning and like flurries in the spring
Like long nights on the road and Dollywood bee stings
Back when butterflies and best friends meant everything
I'm talking back when El Sazon had the music out front
And I was selling out the back of the Mazda at the end of each month
I was still driving over the mountain to prove I could
And Aaron was still in The Bonus floating on driftwood
I could only change my future so I did it
I couldn't fix my past so I didn't (even try)
