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
