[Verse 1]
I guess it's Adele's year, but not mine
"Hello from the other side of these long lines," it's your boys time
Totally speaking in a future-tense scenario, when I walk in and my hits are all over the stereo
The room is tense before the show, it's hard to flex, but if I don't, tell my story, your mind will go
To places unknown, you fill in the blanks
As I get larger the money get fatter, I'll fill up the banks. As I get wiser much older you can call me Phillip Banks
I am fresher than you think, grab a seat, let's have a drink. Take a moment get in sync
I got that rat pack like Sammy D, smooth with it like Frankie
I'm mean wit it, please thank me later. Remove your safety, hater. They taking shots in my favor. I'm taking shots for my Fader cover. Striking poses, get me another
My progression is real, preach. Non-believer, but I believe that I'm blessed with it, priest
[Hook]
You don't understand how I feel
You don't understand, things would be different. [x2]
[Verse 2]
You don't understand how I feel, to be quite frank
I think we got something real, but I need you to chill
If my thoughts made sense, we'd be rich. If my mom didn't leave when I was a kid, things would be different
But fuck a Grammy, look what I've become. All these motherfuckers talking shit be looking so dumb
A quarter century, your daughter's into me. This time it's meant to be. Just joined your family tree, all my thought are mumbled, they're random, you see
I'm destined to be the best dressed. I'm a latch kid so you know we got the key. [Gasp] I can barely breathe
Nah, it's not emotion, but this food I just ate, I swear to God was to cry for. Oh lord, trying to stay in my lane, but I keep swerving, I've been blessed with greatness, what you trying to drive for?
This music, I would die for. Fuck anything else
I don't want more
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
My parents up'd and bounced when I was 12. Now these girls are bouncing to my music? What is this world?
I swear I'm jumping off. You won't ever catch the boy
Even if you tried, once I hit the ground, you won't catch the boy
My work ethic is unforgettable Methods are unattainable. Man, heading for legendary status, shit's unchangeable
Man, I got this mapped, 5 years out. No need to reroute, no need to shout, I'm the one the girls whisper about
If she don't think I'm good enough, she can suck this dick. Pssh, let's call that blowing up. Yeah, I like that
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Hey, Daren it's your dad. Umm, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Hope you're having a good day. Talk to you later, bye
Just wanted to call and wish you a happy birthday. We're so proud of you, and how far you've come
Happy birthday, bro. Just wanted to say, uh, we love you and keep doing what you're doing, we're so proud of you
Ohhh, so you decided to have a birthday? Happy birthday, man. I love you like a brother, who only loves me back sometimes
Hey fuckface you should probably answer your phone more often. You know, cause I'm like your best friend and all. Just wanted to say happy birthday. Have a good day
Happy birthday, my love. I think that you should've taken the day off and cuddled with me instead, but I guess I'll survive. I love you, and I'll see you later for pie. Bye
