info [00:40.77]I give to you niggas [00:41.96]I'm on the brink of influential [00:43.85]I'm here for you niggas [00:44.95]I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career for you niggas [00:48.30]I must have been hard to watch [00:49.96]What year for you niggas [00:51.47]It's December 31st and we in Miami just meditating [00:55.21]You got your resolutions [00:56.87]We just got reservations [00:58.50]Living out a dream it feels like I stayed up [01:01.27]And we just wanna party [01:02.92]Patron straight up [01:04.40]**** that old **** [01:06.01]I'm on new things [01:07.63]O.V.O clique [01:09.20]Red wing boot gang [01:10.63]Yeah we want it all half was never the agreement [01:13.78]Who'd thought the route we chose would ever end up this scenic [01:16.87]I could relate to kids going straight to the league [01:20.03]When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed [01:23.39]And that's around the time that your idols become your rivals [01:26.31]You make friends with Mike but gotta AI him for your survival [01:29.58]Damn I swear that sports and music are so synonymous [01:33.10]'Cause we wanna be them [01:34.78]And they wanna be us [01:36.53]Yeah so on behalf of the demanded [01:39.06]And the entertainment that you take for granted [01:41.41]You could thank me now [01:42.83]And oh my goodness you're welcome [01:44.56]You're welcome [01:45.34]At this point me is who I am trying to save myself from [01:48.76]Rappers hit me up and I never know to tell them [01:51.61]'Cause they think I can help them get back to where they fell from [01:55.35]But drink up 'cause everyone here is good tonight [01:58.48]Except the niggas that I came with they good for life [02:01.75]Yeah that's how you know it's going down [02:04.10]In case another chance never comes around [02:06.45]You could thank me now [02:08.86]Uh go 'head [02:12.14]Thank me later yeah I know what I said [02:15.23]But later doesn't always come so instead [02:18.37]It's o-okay [02:19.61]You could thank me now [02:32.60]Uh shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimmin' [02:36.48]I think I'm spending all my time with the wrong women [02:39.64]I think have a chance at love but knowing me I miss it [02:42.71]'Cause me dedicating my time just isn't realistic [02:45.92]Man the good girls went silent on me [02:49.10]They got a boyfriend [02:50.62]Or left for college on me [02:52.26]And all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now [02:55.26]That make me wish I had a little less mileage on me [02:58.74]But do I ever come up in discussion [03:01.08]Over double pump lattes and low fat muffins do I [03:05.26]Or is missing what we had outta the question [03:08.34]I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson [03:11.22]I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes who was there before it all [03:15.45]I guess that's how it goes [03:17.17]They hear about your cons or focus on your pros [03:20.10]And love you for who you are from the bottom of their soul [03:23.33]But those same ones from your area will grow [03:26.31]Into women that are ready to get married at hello [03:29.49]Because of what they allow [03:31.20]Where are they all now [03:32.77]I know there somewhere watching so I'm trying make them proud [03:36.03]Searching for the meaning [03:37.54]You'll find it next to me [03:39.12]They tell me I'm the hottest [03:40.51]Guess we finally get to see [03:42.22]I'm feeling like Nas who am I to disagree [03:45.27]They say that doors'll open up as soon as you find the missing key [03:48.70]It's probably why I'm in this bitch shining [03:51.11]Jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment [03:54.17]I rep the A.T.F in case you need to be reminded [03:56.71]And the bandwagons full but you can try and run behind it [04:00.61]I'm sorry [04:01.31]Poolside drinking [04:03.10]Margarita rounds [04:04.55]Shout out to my city though I hardly be in town [04:07.80]I'm the black sheep but Chris Farley wears the crown [04:10.61]And I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down [04:14.38]I'm in the world where things are taken never given [04:17.08]How long they choose to love you will never be your decision [04:20.24]And I'm aware this could be the last time you listen [04:23.36]So while I'm still here in this position [04:25.60]You could thank me now [04:27.94]Uh go 'head [04:31.19]Thank me later yeah I know what I said [04:34.16]But later doesn't always come so instead [04:37.45]It's o-okay [04:38.61]You could thank me now [04:50.14]It's o-okay
