Timeflies - Crystal Ball lyrics
Small town livin' chillin' acting like I'm cool While I'm one strappin' backpackin' probably actin' like a fool See I'm walkin' up to my V-dubs and rolling up to school And I'm feelin' like O'Doyle b**h I rule... See I grew up on a one way Only knowin' one way Thinkin' I could do it like a subway Underground sound pa**ion And now I'm smashin' these b**hes who make they livin' on a runway Fashion me with a mic now Might flash a free I might write down sh**, is this my life now? My crystal ball never showed me what life was like My crystal ball never showed me a life so bright And yeah you show me what to do You show me how it is But I don't need you To show me how to live My crystal ball My crystal ball My crystal ball OK Cuttin' school playin' hook But they call me Peter Pan Cause I'm never growin' up look I don't need a plan See they never wrote a book on how to be the man Worst case I'll be down by the river chillin' in my van I'm in the back of the cla** with a backwards hat Tryna concentrate on these pages And it's usually math where I'm writin' raps Thinkin' bright lights on these stages Dreamin' all along I might get my songs to go and drop at radio stations I might have failed a cla** but I'm cool with that you can't top this education My crystal ball never showed me what life was like My crystal ball never showed me a life so bright And yeah you show me what to do You show me how it is But I don't need you To show me how to live My crystal ball My crystal ball My crystal ball Went to live the dream, I'm falling Rushing to the scene I'm stallin' Shot callin' now you see I'm all in Man I must have stacked the deck cause b**h I'm straight up crystal ballin I was freestyling so old school while I was on the mic in the bedroom With low ceilings on Pro Tools now that's off the top with no headroom Started out on a Tuesday, so hot we couldn't stop it Turned my day dreams into day times now I'm feelin' like a prophet My crystal ball never showed me what life was like My crystal ball never showed me a life so bright And yeah you show me what to do You show me how it is But I don't need you To show me how to live My crystal ball My crystal ball My crystal ball
