[Verse 1: Gat$by]
I guess in life, not everyone can make it
Already had a few friends taken
I guess, this is me makin'
Up for those lost years
All those trips to Oakmont
To cop beers
In my Mom's Chevrolet
While my peers
Were at home studying
But fuck it
Chock it
Up to a phase
I mean
We were just trying to find our way
But nothings sacred when you're tryin' to get paid
Best believe I need
That money, property and prestige
Bet these, chips that your in
I doubled down when it all hinged
On me and
I ended up with my pockets empty
Flat broke
Butt of all jokes
Livin' at home with my folks
Second guessin' every word comin' out my throat

[Verse 2: Gat$by]
I guess in life, not everyone can make it
Already had a few friends taken
I guess, I'm makin'
Up for those lost opportunities
And those silver spoons foolin' me
Who are these fools say they schoolin' me
A friend a who, Bill
Shit I'm too cool to be
Fuckin' with you kids
Never had a father figure bigger than myself
So how you figure I'll react to the help
Not well..
Well..

[Hook: Gat$by]
Different paths were takin'
They cross and interact in ways we couldn't imagine makin'
Couldn't imagine makin'

[Verse 3: Gat$by]
I guess in life, not everyone can make it
Already had a few friends taken
I guess, this is me makin'
Sense of these paths we takin'
They cross and interact in ways we couldn't imagine makin'
Shakin'
To my bone marrow
As the years pass
This path that we travel
Narrows and ergo
Most folks fall off the wagon
That's what we do
That's what they'll tell to you
Settin' us up for the fall
Before we even fly
I never pay attention to this peasant state of mind
I'm a testament to this
Seven years strong
Never took a drink bitch
Listen how I think bitch
Listen how I get rich
I don't even need this
Different paths were takin'
Different paths were takin'
Different paths were takin'
Different paths were takin'

[Hook]
Different paths were takin'
They cross and interact in ways we couldn't imagine makin'
