First Day Out

[Verse 1]
Walking 'round this campus got me feeling kind of famous
Not to mention people compliment me on my cadence
Plus the pretty bitches wanna add me to they playlist
Sometimes I got to pause just to realize I ain't made it yet
Tryna be the man, moving slow, taking baby steps
Think about the fam, make 'em proud 'fore I'm laid to rest
If it goes to plan they pay half I can pay the rest
I just wanna pay they debt, pay it off in paper checks, yeah
Feel like I'm Jordan in the flu game
Everyday I'm waking up, I'm dealing with a new pain
I ain't one to quit, my DNA it isn't built lame
Know my name is good, they know me all the way in Tulane
My ego hella big, when I'm driving take up two lanes
Bouta book a flight and put the family on a few planes
When I drop the tape I'ma go and buy the crew chains
F.S. studded in ice, that shit be too flames, yeah

Congratulations Frankie, on your graduation
So proud of you, love you

[Verse 2]
Yeah
The man don't make the mission, nah, the mission makes the man
What I'm really saying is shit don't go to plan
It's about the way you play it when the cards are in your hands
When your backs against the wall will you take your only chance
Will you throw it down and fold cause you're scared to do the dance
I don't mean to preach lately I just been observing
Moving out our comfort zone, it tends to make us nervous
Scared to leave the dark so we hide behind the curtains
But we want something more, there's something deeper than the surface
Give up on our dreams and that's the reason why we're hurting
Gather up the baggage and let's go take on the journey
Fuck the destination, it's the trip that makes it worth it
You'll start to realize everybody isn't really perfect
The ones that love you back are the ones that make it worth it
Everything you want in life, I promise you deserve it
I wish somebody told me that before I had to learn it, damn
