[Verse 1] Am I becoming more of what I never was? I feel myself changing, Im changing Since the first day of school and such Skipped study hall for extended lunch Baby, is this the end of us? Animaniacs, this is the suspended us Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once Wish I only had to ask for your forgiveness once Can I get a witness, church Call me Winston, downhill rolling bit the dust See my queen on her own, Im like Ill go dutch And Julian has been my Uncle Dutch Keeps a hundred dollar bill, no matter how I fill yep Price is only getting higher, you can look but dont touch He was saying I shouldnt be in a rush to add friends We sort of like Mad Men, creative in the clutch And he knows how I can be like Don Draper out to lunch When my ego gets injured, Ill be looking for a crutch Should be looking for an alter pleading for the blood All day getting offers and even after dusk I pray and I prey, seek while I hunt I shouldve got off her they beat me to the punch And Its gon cost us, if we keep it on the hush Wolves as sheep are quick to eat you up for dinner Send you on your way sinner Man I gotta watch who Im amongst Lord knows Ill be the first to announce my shame Before you know my business though First order of business bro Please properly pronounce my name [Hook] I feel like the whole world waiting on me 50 shades, they dont know me well enough to cast me Lately shes been on it like she tryna own me 50 shades, she dont know me well enough to catch me 50 shades [Verse 2] Seen a number in her phone I dont recognize Something feels different, so different I seen a brick wall when I read her eyes But cheers to the future, I drink too much to whine Cheers to the future, I drink to us, why? Lover of my soul say we gon be fine 50 shades, all I see without a ray of sunshine Not a one not a Ray unless im blind Maybe nocturnal, baby have a good night These girls driving me crazy, baby have a good flight Excuse me as I kiss the sky, purple haze catching shade Since 86 maybe its time To come back to the ground May I borrow your state of mind Ever since second year of college in 05 Started me a saga during the Ciera 13 dimes all at the same time And it didnt make sense, then I met Christina Her demeanor was indeed one of a kind 13 dimes turned to 13 ghosts Started to see clearer, but ghosts never die They keep coming back, even in year five Now everybody worry like how will he survive In turn I ask you, how can you deny? Cuz Im sure than I cant be the only one there Please come clean before you compare And the more weve been in prayer, Im feeling at ease It aint about speed, tortoise and the hare God gave me wings, Im like Jordan in the air [Hook] And I feel like the whole world waiting on me 50 shades, they dont know me well enough to cast me Lately shes been on it like she tryna own me 50 shades, she dont know me well enough to catch me Im telling you the whole world waiting on me 50 shades they dont know me well enough to catch me 50 shades [Kirk Franklin] sir, its your boy, kirk Franklin.

Youre free here Alright, one [Verse 3] You know sometimes I cant believe its you They used to think that we in different lanes We knew this could be dangerous And I cant do what people do Just for the sake of making it Its such a love and hate relationship Skyzoo, they playing favorites And man I dont want to be like nobody else But if it happens, itll be a accident Ill still be cool with it Long as my album dont stay on the shelf But I know this life is beautiful Too many things almost made me forget That this is what Im called to do Spitting the real, not the autotune You know this game aint for the faint at heart I try to remember everything you taught I hope you like the picture that you painted Art And mom I know you wanna play your part Its difficult to point this gun at the man I hope I dont become For Mya, her mother, and me, dont leave, dont leave [Outro] A wise man once told me some words worth repeating He said in this life glory is fleeting In this life, glory is fleeting
