8Ball, right side, I put it in the pocket She don't know me anymore but she still keep me in that locket Launch me into Jupiter, yeah put me in that rocket Let me fly too close, let me in the air-lock and I don't know where you're from but around here we talk with respect and I got a lot of people I feel like I gotta protect and I'm in ALL COSTS mode so don't even speak on em I spoil myself why you think I act so rotten?

I had to shed my own skin a couple times to forget you Now that I did I wonder why I even ever let you in (in, in)

In this perfect life with all the perfect people I know I shed the negativity and I couldn't help but grow In this perfect life with all the perfect people I know I shed the negativity and I couldn't help but grow

Back when I had a flat tire for 2 years straight Back when I asked questions but swear to God I still prayed Back when I was still walking into class late It was a flowers in my hair, your ame on my lips kind of day Because I've been having these dreams since I was 17 Like fog every morning and like flurries in the spring Like long nights on the road and Dollywood bee stings Back when butterflies and best friends meant everything I'm talking back when El Sazon had the music out front And I was selling out the back of the Mazda at the end of each month I was still driving over the mountain to prove I could And Aaron was still in The Bonus floating on driftwood I could only change my future so I did it I couldn't fix my past so I didn't (even try)
