Blu Hyku - Y'all

I’m bad at keeping tabs on all my friends
We used to kick it like we had the time and innocence
But now we’re older and I wonder where we went
We’re dandelions scattered by the wind
Better double check that Google calendar for extra space
Better add that extra thirty minute block just to be safe
In an office there is always extra coffee gone to waste
Are you happy with the way that you get paid?
You ask me how I’m doing: how’s the acting? How’s the music?
Haven’t seen you in a minute but I see your face on Union
You’re pursuing something interesting and I’d always knew you’d do something different
While I’m here counting dividends, I see your posts on Instagram
Damn how times have change, man you were still the same
But I’m glad we met today even when plans get rearranged
You tell me “Rob I am so proud, I think you’ll make it. You’ll go far
Just remember all of us when you’re a star”
(What?)
You know me back from way before
So where you at
And if you know me at all
I’m doing it for y’all
You see me cry, you see my fall
You hear me laugh
So if you know me at all
I’m doing it for y'all
They say the ones you love will hurt the most
I feel the pressure from my family to come back home
I know my dad, he needs my help and my grandma is losing health
I flip a coin, I got some wishes for the well
You say me that I’m selfish, “what, you think you are an artist?
Your parents worked so hard so they could send your ass to college
And now you wanna waste it all, you might as well be garbage
See my daughter’s got a scholarship while your ass doing comedy
I know what you’re saying
But there’s more to the art than you think that we pour for entertainment
And I know that it takes a while cuz time will measure greatness
One thing I know is for sure I ain’t going back there no more
I ain’t going back there no more
Tides turn to the ocean, the sun rise everyday
And I’m proud to be golden, some things will never change
My life ain’t the same from what it used to be
And I’m fine with that, I never been so free
(So where you at?)
You know me back from way before
So where you at
And if you know me at all
I’m doing it for y’all
You see me cry, you see my fall
You hear me laugh
So if you know me at all
I'm doing it for y'all
