Ballin in Newport

Whether it's 23, 24, 6, 8, 30 It's all destined for the Hall of Fame Been together since age nine, the brothers I never had Times forever last inside my paragraphs Ballin' in Newport, was barely aware in class I'm tryna hoop, my mind stuck in this hourglass None of us had our dad, I had my step-pops Didn't know what I had, he never flip-flopped Don't giving me what I lacked When I hit pit stops my family always there Studying hip-hop upstairs in my granny pad I got a new love and this ain't heaven's dance Feeling this avalanche taming in wonderland Music's in my blood, the flow is genetic thin Poppa was a Motown singin' heartbreaker from the Chi Soon to be shot on stage when I was five or six Survived it, saw a bright light in silence To this day he vividly describes it How could I be godless? My mother is a goddess Went away to College, now I'm my own pilot Brothers that I never had went to different schools Now when I feel the blues don't know who to talk to Life never came with a walkthrough strategy guide Moved out to New York with no family ties I'm on my own, no time to watch Family Guy I'm tryna blow, exactly how my sanity died Tryna get known, thirsting for approval, it's usual My pen touch your heart like voodoo She said I was boring but the feeling was mutual Turn down King, give a fuck what you're used to Never ever felt so free Never ever felt so me (Gangsta Grillz) Never ever felt so free Never ever felt so me (Shit, we ballin' in Newport, free at last) (Omen, talk to 'em), yeah They say my ambiance is way too nonchalant Faced all kinds of times, they thinkin' like dinosaurs Loud as tyrannosaurus Can't see how I got this far Who's the model or prototype I should source? Nobody perfect here, what's on the surface? Just some shit you work to build but I been searching For what's been underneath my shield Can't keep worshipping niggas that's unhappy, even if they got athlete I always wanted to be even if they'd out-rap me More dollar signs, more bitches, I can't exactly Follow what you say like it's all satisfactory Plus the rich and famous seem to have the most tragedies So what's the strategy for happiness now? Need the master key, somebody bring Khaled around Fuck the past, only focus on what's happenin' now 'Less what's happenin' now has got you in debt and doubt Know you chasing some dreams but what you chasin' 'em for? Every time you remember why you can't take yourself forward I've connected with something deeper so now I need more Give me peace, give me calm, and a Bentley Azure Need a car as classic as these bars From afar everything is a star, gotta see with your heart (These bars cross you over like number three) Never ever felt so free Never ever felt so me (Dominate the whole game like KD) (Make it look flawless like Kyrie) Never ever felt so free Never ever felt so me (Welcome to the dynasty) (Gangsta)
