Rest of Our Life

Asonhi, what up, man?

[Verse 1]
He looks himself in the mirror and smirks a grin, and say, “tonight is when my life really begins”
He really loved this feeling that he got in his soul
Gotta live this life slow is what I’ve always been told, by the old wise ones who got four or five sons
Say them girls trouble if they only want one
Hundred dollar bills, they’re just digging for gold
See, this life ain’t like Click, ain’t controlled by remote
And people try to mimic what they see on the screen
Walk away with sized clothes, say he living the dream
Bright lights in the city but the shining is vague
What thеy portray, is that why you be living this way?
But he say you can't take this away, I еarned this
Dawg, do you know how long it took to earn this?
He wanna be celebrity, VIP
He turned around and this is what he sang to me

[Chorus]
Tonight is going to be the first day of the rest of my life
But I’ll enjoy every minute

[Verse 2]
I’m tryna stop him before he make a mistake
But it’s an hour past 1 so I guess I’m too late
Wait, I know he won’t jump at the opportunity
I guess some people grow an immunity to reality
So he makes his own earth in his mind, not caring what his life really worth
He want the light works, girls with the tight skirts
Dawg, nothing easy, that ain’t how this life works
But when you fall down, who you gon’ grab on?
Gotta understand the fast life don’t last long
Unprotected sex with some woman he just met
AIDS candidate ‘bout to make him a suspect
He wanna pop bottles, bag models in the club
Infatuated with the life he done grown to love
He wanna be celebrity, VIP
He turned around and this is what he sang to me

[Chorus]
Tonight is going to be the first day of the rest of my life
But I’ll enjoy every minute

[Verse 3]
Is fame what it's choked up to be?
I don’t really know ‘cause I ain’t grow enough to see what it is
The secret life of the music biz
And he would give it all away to pursuing it
You lose friends along the way in the pursuit of it
But he went at happiness, didn’t care who he had to whip
Didn’t know it would lead to regrets after it
He was just tired of all the girls that kept passing him
So he used my passion for celebrity status
We used to be mad cool but I can never get at him
‘cause he was adamant at him, tryna keep his rep up
He didn’t even body-build so his soul probably will never know
If I get a deal, will it change me since it changed him?
Nah, ‘cause we're not in it for the same reasons
You wanna be celebrity, VIP
He turned around and this is what he sang to me

[Chorus]
Tonight is going to be the first day of the rest of my life
But I’ll enjoy every minute
