Ain’t no bottle big enough to hold all this pain The world’s going to know my name They told me don’t spend too much time looking back Stare at the future too long the present’s what you’re looking past Mistakes can be hard to face in that looking glass But I wouldn’t be who I am if I took them back, nah Just a kid in the back of the bus in his headphones Trying to crack at a bad one and not get left off in the friend zone Put my name at the top in Helvetica where the letterhead goes I’m rounding 3rd and finally got that go ahead to head home This is grandma’s cornbread flow When the album’s finished, I’m taking the fam to Venice And I ain’t going to club Med though I’m not well read, no quoting Shakespeare off the head But the mouthpieces always trend and a little more Detroit red though The talk, Pellegrino, Arrowhead, no All my dawgs with me like I bought some stock in Petco Off the leash, all their bark is cheap I finally cut the strings I didn’t want to have to dance and sing and answer to Geppetto Life’s too short, whether I like it or not I don’t exist in the dimensions they put round my box Just me, myself, a ceiling, a couple of thoughts No one on their deathbed regrets the things that they should’ve bought The greatest resource is time and you can’t buy back the clock You can’t rewind the tape and dub over the thing’s I’ve watched Only a matter of time before they pass the rock, give me a shot I promised my mama I’m going to show the world what I got I know, my mama always told me I should drive slow But I been bending corners with my eyes closed Feel like I been sleeping on a tightrope But it’s my time though Run that back again I would throw it away One-way ticket I’m going to go . Ain’t no bottle big enough to hold all this pain The world’s going to know my name
