Cheers (feat. Q-Tip)

Yeah, uh huh
 Yeah
 I'm workin' on a world premiere
 And I could see the world from here
 They ask me where I'm going from here
 Shit, anywhere long as the runway is clear
 Shit, music business movin' too fast for me (God damn)
 Wishin' I still had Mac wit' me (Yes Lord)
 How do you tell a nigga slow it down
 When you livin' just as fast as 'em?
 I couldn't understand when I see 'em
 Stretched out cold on the pavement
 Niggas catch T-K-O's on occasion
 Wishin' I could save 'em, what was I to say?
 I was doin' dates, dippin' in and out of state
 We was goin' in to get away
 Sick of feelin' so outta place
 Wishin' I could save ya, what was I to say?
 Wishin' I could save ya, but now it's too late
 Now, is this really what I wanted?
 Is it really worth the pain?
 Now am I really an asshole? Fuck what you say
 Don't do me no favors, let's get back to basics
 We live for today, bitch, look up out my way, bitch
 I'm losin' all my aces, I'm runnin' outta patience
 Got some pretty faces knowin' what my name is
 Up in high places, I got some new neighbors
 They don't really say shit but
 When they see the spaceship
 They just think I ride with some
 Form of entertainment
 But they don't know I'm black, young
 Gifted and amazin'
 You know I had to close my eyes, (My eyes yeah)
 And if I have to free my mind
 I may not have the lane, movin' all along
 Knowin' that I can't do it on my own
 And if I got the pain feelin' comin' out
 Have to run away, think I'm goin' home
 You know I'm workin' on a world premiere
 And I could see the world from here
 I know you somewhere in the atmosphere (Yeah)
 I know someday I'll meet you halfway there (Cheers)
 They say there's nothin' you can do about it
 Can't say that I'm new to sorrow
 Wishin' I could take your problems trade 'em
 For a little more time wit'chu
 Carry you out the bottom, the weight of the world
 I got it
 Sprouted wit'chu on my shoulder
 The greatest honor to know ya
 I'd gotta be honest wit'cha
 I hate you ain't in the picture
 I hate all them fake niggas claimin' like
 They gon' really miss ya
 I know there's no one to blame and
 Maybe the point that I'm missin'
 But I needed a minute, just give me a minute
 You know I had to close my eye (My eyes yeah)
 And if I have to free my mind (Free my mind)
 (You know I had to close my eye)
 I may not have the lane, movin' all along (Free my mind)
 Knowin' that I can't do it on my own
 And if I got the pain feelin' comin' out
 Have to run away, think I'm goin' home
 Oh, say it ain't so!
 Tears keep fallin' down my eyes
 Damn it, I miss you, I should be with you
 Can't turn back the hands of time
 But I should be with you
 I miss my friend
 Damn it, I miss you
 Can't bring you back
 These pictures I'm seein' are fuckin' me up
 And I don't know what to do but
 Reminisce and face the pain
 Back in the day before you were a
 Dog and you were just pup
 Bangin' beats and bringin' bitches
 Back to the tour bus
 Excuse me, y'all, I know this .Paak shit
 I just need a second
 It's Q-Tip in this bitch and I'm just in here reflectin'
 Head on collisions with memories in the intersection
 Lookin' in my rearview, wishin' I could be near you
 The freeways of my mind are crowded with traffic
 The good times that we had and them bad habits
 Look at me now, look around, last man standin'
 Grown man cryin' like a child tryna understand it
 So sick of sendin' flowers to all my of
 Brother's mommas
 Don't know what's harder, fightin' trauma or
 Keepin' a promise
 A true confession breath is a blessin',
 Without a question
 But niggas don't get the message
 Until they get disconnected
 My story ain't over, I'm still turnin' pages
 But the picture I painted with you in it has faded
 My queen, my dreams and even my wages
 I know what it means to lose everything
 When you made it
 Rags to the riches and back to the
 Rags is muh'fucka
 The consequence of puttin' all
 Your chips in one bucket
 To be honest, I feel like gettin' right
 Back to these commas
 You mother fuckers keep the drama
 I'm workin' on a world premiere
 And I could see the world from here
 I know there must be somethin' after here
 I know some day I'll meet ya halfway
 There in the atmosphere
 Cheers
 Free my mind
 You know I had to close my eyes
 Close my eyes
 You know I have to free my mind
 Oooooh
 You know I had to close my eyes
 You know it's time for me...
 And I have to free my mind
 Free my...
 Free
 Free
 Free my...
 ...My mind
 My mind
 My Mind
