Fill up the smoke in my chest so I can cope with the stress
This sh** ain't really working out but I just hope for the best
Somebody told me I'm blessed with all these quotes I possess
Feel like I'm stuck in the ocean, I need a rope and a vest
I had to go through the test, to turn my goals to success
I lost some friends along the way, but I ain't focusing less
This rollercoaster a mess, I feel the bolts coming loose
Every night I'm in this motherf**in' booth with no rest
And when my heart stops beating, and my car stops speeding
If I crash and burn, I know my bars got meaning
Never thought of how you felt when you played this sh**
Until I take a look back at all these scars I'm leaving
Now I'm bar to bar drinking, like it's Mardi Gras weekend
And this party got me thinking how we hardly ever speaking
I been gone a couple months and baby ain't sh** changed
I got you calling in the evening leave a message at the beep
And I'll get right back to it, I'll get right back to it
"What the f** is your problem?" I never write back to it
Try to tell me that I changed, I could give a f** less
f** stress, in the fog I look right past through it
With the windows limo tinted and my high beams on
You can't see the bigger picture with the wide screen on
I been smoking and drinking so I could write these songs
I got the johnnies in the rear view, my visine gone
I keep the ride on chrome and Riverside's my home
I'm bout to do it for the city every time I roam
I'm tryna roll these trees up don't even try my phone
You gave a f** about me then, I'm doing fine on my own
Just recognize that I'm grown, I been through hell and I'm breathing
I never did it for the fame, that sh** was never the reason
To be forever in the game, that's the dream that I'm reaching
Baby Jay still the name, and that's whatever the season
[Bridge: 2Pac]
"I feel as though I'm cheated because, instead of me fulfilling my prophecy I have to start one; instead of me, you know, doing a good job and carrying on an empire, I have to BUILD one. And that's a hell of a job for a 21 year old; you know what I'm saying, thats a hell of a job for any youngster, male or female, to have to - "
[Chorus]
Man I wish I could go back in time, I got a couple things I would change
I roll, my sack, one time - Mary Jane got me feeling so strange
If my time comes before I wake, no I won't feel no pain;
If my time comes before I wake, hope you still know my name

[Verse 2]
And when it comes down to it, won't nobody understand it
Everything I put into it all in part how I planned it
I got control of these verses, you see the way I command it
I got the world on the my shoulders and I don't shake when I'm standing
I don't got too much friends, I keep my day ones with me
So if I got it you got it, roll up and blaze one with me
We used to rap in the room, we used to have no ends
So all this cash I spend ain't bout to change none with me
Stick to the script, the whip still a 96' not a 16'
Pull up out front and make her dad say that sh** clean
Baby to the Jay, her best friend on my gram
Then she bout to hit me all day like "what that b**h mean?"
I'll be gone in the morning, that's how it plays out
In the studio with a bottle what my days bout
Life full throttle baby, rolling with the brakes out
Show you what mistakes bout, real pointing fakes out
I make this music just to give you some to think about
Word around town I'm the one who's blowing speakers out
Blow the whole pound if you with it, no sleep allowed
Trees we keep is loud, got me creeping through the reefer clouds
Driving through this highway with my eyes closed
Scraping on speed bumps gotta keep the ride slow
Seen em' looking sideways, pull up with my eyes low
Hands on the wheel other hand where her thighs go
Don't gotta do to much, I ain't got sh** to prove
Blew the f** up, hate it or love it better pick and choose
Now they f**ing with me, I remember when they hit the snooze
I just do my own thing, rolling trees and sipping brews
Never different views, money comes and money goes
Don't ever get confused, funds never running low
Man I wish I could go back, I got some sh** to change;
Cell phone numbers and the ones I thought I used to know
[Bridge: Leonardo DiCaprio]
"I want you to take a good look at the person next to you, go on. Cause someday in the not so distant future, you're gonna be pulling up to a red light in your beat up old f**ing pinto; and that persons gonna be pulling up right alongside you in a brand new Porsche, with their beautiful wife -"
[Chorus]
Man I wish I could go back in time, I got a couple things I would change
I roll, my sack, one time - Mary Jane got me feeling so strange
If my time comes before I wake, no I won't feel no pain;
If my time comes before I wake, hope you still know my name
