Bygone boy
Running on empty
Never did break
Everything bent me
Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche
Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly
Bygone man
Running on gas
And ain't shit changed from a seminar class
I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame
Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me
Twenty-one-three
I was busy making music for my buddies and me
Me and Cat were in that student house, loving with ease
I know we're still like that
So I can swallow any pill until the pill bite back
Back then, I wasn't stressing
Broke with my baby still felt like a blessing
Reflection in my eyes from the half moon crescent
We could stay up all night
Now the world keeps spinning when it's outta my sight
We chased paper cause we had to
Wedding dress hanging up in moms by the bathroom
Never did it wrong, but it's sad when it pass by
I spent a while in the iris of a glass eye
Now my kid need food, my friends needing me too
My day job's gonna break me like a day job do
All my heroes slowly fade, I'm alone on the stage
But I no longer feel rage when I serenade you
Bygone boy
Running on empty
Never did break
Everything bent me
Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche
Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly
Bygone man
Running on gas
And ain't shit changed from a seminar class
I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame
Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me
I try to slow my breathing
I try to stop that watch
Wish I could freeze these moments
Keep all the photographs safe in a box
I'm on top but I'm tripping every single time I cough
Getting lost in my worry
So I put that on the rocks
Growling up in a hurry
Like I only just met her
My past got buried when my days got better
And away we go
It was black eyed peas on the radio
Now I'm all jacked up behind lazy flows
Scrutinizing my work
Wonder how my form look when I lie in the dirt
One day I might forget my ascension
How I made the whole scene pay attention
I get lost in the talks and the tension
Bygones from my heart when I mention
Bygone boy
Running on empty
Never did break
Everything bent me
Every mistake, got stakes in my psyche
Had a lead foot, so I learn to tread lightly
Bygone man
Running on gas
And ain't shit changed from a seminar class
I'm a little more brittle but I snap like sesame
Rap be my effigy, clap for the rest of me
