On a plane overlookin’ the ocean

Certain people I needed just couldn’t stick around
If they ain’t see the vision, I bet they feel …

He just wanna be recognized by the OGs
And spray paint in the alleyway while he smokes weed
Middle finger up like, “Fuck the judge and the police”
Runnin’ through the streets …

I’m tryna focus, you’ve been out of frame, but it’s crazy how I see the picture now
It’s …

You’re leaving me behind
I’ll put it all behind
Just to be close to you
[Pre-Hook]
Everybody knows you don’t feel how I feel about you, girl
Everybody knows …

Then we’re breaking all the rules16
So come on, come on
