Nowadays

[Verse 1]
Nowadays life passes like a fast car
My momma told me ‘son never take it too far’
Going parties even though I like my house more
Hiding secrets like your mind is just a locked door
If looks could kill then she a stone-cold killer
She got lips like a cushion with those wack lip fillers
No matter who you talk too, they’ll say the same thing that nobody who gone hate on someone is ever gone win, we got
Five years till we leaving out this atmosphere
Never take me serious, exactly why I hate it here
Sipping on a bottle like I got a place to be tonight
But really I’m just all alone, the only thing I do is write
Lyrics in a book and then rap em over hot beats
Mix em till it’s 2 am and put them on a spreadsheet
Then open up an app and work on shit for TV
Send it off to studios hoping that they will pay me

[Chorus 1]
Thoughts on my balcony, looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony, that is when I just pretend
That life is like a movie and our stories all have happy end-
-Ings, brunette with pearls, wanted wedding rings
And finer things, stirring up the pot, I’m meddling
New friends cause I’m going new places, seeing new faces, shit feels amazing

[Verse 2]
Nostalgias cool until you’re swept up in it
And all you really wanna do is just relive it
Well this is it, the real world takes a toll
And cause you were too busy you ain’t got no one to hold
No
I’m not tripping, you just acting up to get friends
Post shit on the gram for attention
Nobody cares at the end of the day
They only start to support as soon you get paid, ay
I’ll be quick, get the money then I’m outta here
She ain’t coming home tonight so we’re in the clear
Looking over all the city sitting on the balcony
Nowadays I’m all alone, it’s always my demon and me
I know I’m sad all the time but you make me smile
So can you stay here by my side for a little while
I know it’s tough, putting feelings on the shelf
Hard to love someone when I do not love my self
I know it’s cool, putting drugs on your story
But doing all that shit ain’t never end in glory
There’s a war in my head, I’m just tryna run away from it
Girl, you are the only thing that’s makings any sense to me

[Chorus 2]
Thoughts on my balcony, looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony, that is where I play the part
Nowadays life passes like a fast car
Thoughts on my balcony, looking over city lights
Every night I wonder if we’ll ever really be alright
Thoughts on my balcony, that is where I play the part
Nowadays life passes like a fast car
