XV - The Kick lyrics

Countin' my blessings, watchin' Inception
But, I’m livin' one of those scenes
Where everyone knows it ain't real except him
They can't convince him to believe
I know this life with all the
Lights and how it ain't true
Ha, but fuck it, I don’t want to leave
'Cause you can never have déjà vu
If you don’t ever dream
Uh, successful stories never told to us
Tryna make ends 'cause we never got
What was owed to us
School never grown on us
Pops never shown on us open Sesame
See? The street never closed on us
Moved white and didn’t see much
Green like a ski slope
Now I see so much green that I could be Hulk
And people think I relocated
On the East Coast
But, I still hold it down in
The town I speak for
Towing my city behind me like it was repoed
In a game full of sharks but
There ain't no cheat codes
If XV did take a hike, I’m Tim Tebow
Matrix reload, face it, he cold
Rep the 316, I’m 730 in the mind
I’m that dude hands down
Six-thirty when I rhyme
I’m a two-three-five, always in my prime
And it’s 4 15, meanin' it’s my time
Was I a nerd 'cause
Niggas acted like dimwit's
Or was I truly just gifted in academics?
Figured that with these lyrics that
I was rappin' like Christmas
I could number two on all of
The doubters up on my shitlist
Pissed my little brother has to miss this
Told my momma she’ll never
Watch from the sofa tell my haters
Hit record on they remote controllers
Until my totem falls over

This is the life that I never will forget
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
So I’m just sittin' back
Waitin' for the kick
I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick
This is the life that I never will forget
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
So I’m just sittin' back
Waitin' for the kick (yeah)
I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick
Wait for it

Lord, can I change my
Life with these sentences
When I got boys doing
Life 'cause of sentencin'?
I’m dealin' with it every night
That's what penance is
Balled like Bruce Willis but die
Hard with a vengeance, kid
And I’m in this party where
All these women is
Tryna find where niggas with dollar
Bills and Benzes is
Finally left what I wanted for what I needed
Can’t be the girl of my dreams if you
Don’t close your eyes to see it
The road less travelled
Where both of us were headed
Said it would kill us
I told you I won't let it
When my life was plain, most bitches jetted
You said, "Boy
I been down like toe touch stretches"
I even set expectations and you
Never ever met it but, I gave you my heart
You ain't even call a medic
Now she tellin' me to leave her alone
But, I can’t like she got bad credit
I guess it’s debted with me and
You both have left it
In eternal sunshine but my spotless
Mind won't forget it
So I accept it and pray no-one intercept it
Given the globe my soul and
Hope everybody accept it
Making it is never what you expected
I told my girl she’ll never
Watch from the sofa
Tell my haters hit record
On they remote controllers
Until my totem falls over

This is the life that I never will forget
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
So I’m just sittin' back
Waitin' for the kick
I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick
This is the life that I never will forget
I'm inside a dream that I never wanna quit
So I’m just sittin' back
Waitin' for the kick (yeah)
I’m just sittin' back, waitin' for the kick
Wait for it
