[Intro: Jordo]
And it just goes, yeah
And it just goes, and it just goes
And it just goes on
[Verse 1]
Pardon me, my different ways
Got me just a bit astray
Like a mistake, tried to pull me out, I'm here to stay
Orphan child, I've been tryna find me a place
In this world, I've been tryna be great
f** tryna be, I'm finna be great
Living off this free housing til they send me away
And yes, I'll always be lounging
And it makes me feel guilty
If I end up too comfortable
That's the sh** that's gon k** me
More desperate for a dollar
Every time that they bill me
To those living the same struggle
Know my brothers gon feel me
How long could I be in this basement?
Wires hang from the ceiling
My fingers go cold until I hardly could feel them
The devil's getting closer
I feel my back is itching
I just want to pay my grandparents back for my tuition
They took their hard-earned money
Put it in college fund
They should've kept it to themselves
And got their dollars up
I wish they never helped, honestly
Now I'm obligated to go through something that's not for me
And I'm too embarra**ed
To ask for an investment in my talents
Cause the sh** that I've been doing
Got my future in the balance
College kid, don't know if I'm staying or not
Time is not a luxury, but I've wasted a lot
I've seen the world's ugly face
Looked straight in its eyes
And learned going the safe route
There ain't no surprise
You could take a few shrooms
Hope you're gaining the lives
But this life ain't a game
You either breakthrough or die
So I ain't thinking the same
Every time I seen a lost soul
Drink through the pain
I lift my chin up and say, hey
[Hook: Jordo & (TripOne)]
And it just goes on and on
On and on, on and on, yeah
And it just goes on and on
[2x]
(I'm high off hope, see life through a wider scope
So surreal, my mind is a kaleidoscope)
And it just goes on and on
[Verse 2: TripOne]
Shifter of the paradigm is what I'm tryna be
f** living with limits, I'd rather die and be free
Mama said I'm losing my mind, she's crying to me
"I think you're dreaming too big", well let's find out and see
I might be arrogant, at least I'm aware of it
I can't let go of these goals, I cherish them
But what happens if you fall flat back on your back again?
That be embarra**ing
You're back to square one
Just because you got cash to get
And whatever the f** you're doing now
You're not pa**ionate
And when you're old and grey
They look back and they laugh at this
Apparently a dying dream is f**ing hilarious
I heard it from my aunt, she said "when you 50 and broke
You become a slave to others just to keep you afloat"
When she said that, I choked, then I figured it out
As I watched another lightbulb flickering out
And the wallpaper ripped, dawg I'mma change the script
Gotta s** up all my pride when it's time to pay the rent
Always felt that I was too good for a regular job
But some sh** you gotta do if the dream is dead or alive
The sh** you gotta do to survive
Type of sh** you gotta do to keep breathing
Sometimes I wish that money wasn't needed for our freedom
But f** it man, join them if you just can't beat them
And I keep on singing
[Hook: Jordo & (TripOne)]
And it just goes on and on
On and on, on and on, yeah
And it just goes on and on
(2x)
(I'm high off hope, see life through a wider scope
So surreal, my mind is a kaleidoscope)
And it just goes on and on
[Skit: Grammy & (Jordo)]
(Yeah)
Jake, this is Grammy
I just want to congratulate you
I'm so proud that you made the Dean's list
(And it just goes)
Please keep it up
I love you honey, bye bye
[Outro: Jordo]
And it just goes on
And it just goes, yeah
