It's the motion of the ocean, not the size of the boat
It's not the places that you've been, it's the places you go
It ain't the people you meet, it's the people you know
For a long time, know for a long time
Not the guitar that you're playin', it's the song that you wrote
It's not the things that you be sayin', it's the things that you know
It's not the clothes that you be wearin'
It's how you wear them clothes, how you wear them clothes
You have a lot of money and not no cla**
The sky could be sunny
But you're lookin' at the gra** on the other side
The other side, other side
You got a honey with a body like an hourgla**
Spent the last half hour lookin' at another girl's a**, whoa
You're a fool
Don't know what to do
I've been there too
Just like you, just like you
I was a fool, didn't know what to do
But then I met a pretty girl that said she loved me
And I said I love her too
That's what you should do
It ain't the car that you be drivin', it's the drive that you got
Ay-yo, that diamond in your watch, man, that's just a rock
And all those bottles you be buyin'
Ain't never gonna hit the spot
You tryin' to look like you ain't tryin' but you're tryin' too hard
It ain't the things that you find, it's the things you lost
And if you break it, then you buy it, man
Break it, then you buy it, man
You have a lot of money and not no cla**
The sky could be sunny
But you're lookin' at the gra** on the other side
The other side, other side
You got a honey with a body like an hourgla**
Spent the last half hour lookin' at another girl's a**, whoa
You're a fool, don't know what to do
I've been there too
Just like you, just like you
I was a fool, didn't know what to do
But then I met a pretty girl that said she loved me
I said I love her too
Ya, I was a fool, wastin' all of my time
I was a fool sittin' down in the sunshine
Did you see it, see it, see it, what?
Did you see it?
My dream is gone, oh no, I let it get away
I played myself, dreams last just a second
Yo, that's all it takes, a moment, a moment
A moment, then it's gone in a blink of an eye
Like a firework in the sky
I changed my plan, I rearranged my whole game up
I've seen the superficial things
And fantasied about wine, women, real-estate
Y'all, it's too easy to want what you don't got
And the more that you get, you want more nonstop
What else to stop for?
Turns out it's wrong
It's best to find somethin' that's real and hold on
'Cause silver might shine but not like her eyes
And diamonds might sparkle but not like her mind
And the time that you spend is the most valuable thing
So love what you got or it don't mean a thang
You're a fool, don't know what to do
I've been there too, just like you
Just like you
I was a fool, didn't know what to do
But then I met a pretty girl that said she loved me
And I said I love her too
That's what you should do
I was a fool sittin' down in the sunshine
Wastin' all of my time
