[Verse 1]
Second album I'm back
Yeah it's been a while, I'm young and wild, I've been wildin' out
No Nick Cannon, man I'm more Will Smith-ing, king of this shit but I'm still Fresh Prince-ing
I'm not Jaden, Smith and Wesson, they don't get the point blank, gun range
Stuck on the old me but I'm onto new things
So now they're sending hate our way
Dropped a few songs now they're wondering what I'll say
I locked myself up, I'm trying to better than just okay
Because I do this shit every single day, I hear every single thing that they say
I do this shit like all day, I do this shit like all day
[Verse 2]
All day playa, I'm back like 4-5, ah man go figure
They're trying to pull me back like a .45 trigger
Explode out the chamber, keep it 100, I'm talking Wilt Chamber-lain
Wondering, where you been, flattered, didn't know that I was that important
I made last summer mine, they should've forfeited
Man I am the shit, and never vanishing, killing everything, better banish him
Catch me leaning on a banister, couple canisters, 'bout to blow myself up like martyr
I'm not with a label, and I never had any management
All I have are these kids with crowns and I told them that I'll handle it
Now everyone is staying up just to hear what we're releasing
I know BYOI is everything that you believe in
Every person that we meet, can see the drive but maybe not the dream
But they heard some shit and they were blown away, and I swear to me that we're here to stay
[Verse 3]
I can see the fire in your eyes and the words on the tip of your tongue
I can't escape myself no matter how far I try to run
Would you love me if I, wasn't who I am now, got a lot on my mind, think I'm losing it now
I can see the fire in your eyes and the words on the tip of your tongue
I can't escape myself no matter how far I try to run
Would you love me if I, wasn't who I am now, got a lot on my mind, think I'm losing it now
I will be, right by your side, until the end of time
Wave your hands from side to side, we gon' get into this music
If you're ready we can ride, gotta put your back in to it
Wave your hands from side to side, we gon' get into this music
If you're ready we can ride, gotta put your back in to it
Grab someone you care about and put your hands together
Fuck all that hating and violent shit, we gon' dance forever
[Ending]
Said we gon' dance forever
Oh we gon' dance forever
Oh we gon' dance forever
Fuck all that hating and violent shit, we gon' dance forever

[Verse 1]
Lately, i feel like i've lost my master, mind, sweeper, deeper she wants it, i'm moving so haunted, man i'm exhausted
Fluently losing my mental on instrumentals, i don't know the fundamentals, what credentials? i just have potential
Squad assembles, super heroes, god super saiyan levels
Playing vessel until my urges settle
"if it wasn't for you meddl-ing, kids, we would've got away with this"
12 years old, never saw a slave, now i'm 22 and never lived a day of freedom
That's why we're gonna make it, nothing you can say will change it
We're having too much fun, they're not apart of it, they hate it
I swear byoi should stand for jealousy's a bitch ain't it
[Hook]
I'm facing the bottle, for all of my problems
I don't wanna keep running, but i'm nothing but trouble
[Verse 2]
Uh
Smile in my face but i heard you're talking shit though
It's funny that they think that that shit won't get back to me
Because i'm quiet right? that's because i chose to not because i have to be
I pop in channel orange, ripping doors off of the door hinge
I've been thinking bout you, oh na na na, i got trouble on my mind
Trying to stop me but that's nothing that i can't climb, to late to apologize
That angry kid is back from the dead, and he's coming for heads, so non violent, man fuck what i said
Ohh, it'll be a good story one day
I'm the one they wanna shoot down but can't because they can't replace him
Jordan used to be so nice, i loved him, now i hate him
[Hook]
I'm facing the bottle, for all of my problems
I don't wanna keep running, but i'm nothing but trouble

[Hook 1]
I'm reminiscing on my memories, it's draining all of my energy
Trying to find a way wipe away all of my worries but, i've been thinking just way too much
[Verse 1]
Sometimes i sit up late at night, thinking 'bout my friends and what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong
And why it's taking so long for them to believe in themselves
I think it hurts because they're the ones i wouldn't be doing this without, but
[Hook 1]
I'm reminiscing on my memories, it's draining all of my energy
Trying to find a way wipe away all of my worries but, i've been thinking just way too much
[Verse 2]
Viruses was the start of it, and all because of those flames we spit, that room got way too hot
And we said if we ever got our shot, we'd reminisce, "remember when we were recording in your bedroom, half the size of this?"
That was like a lifetime ago, and we did a couple shows just to see how it would go
And i've used a couple flows, and we hit a couple lows
But that's just how life goes, you know?
[Hook 2]
I'm reminiscing on my memories, it's draining all of my energy
Trying to find a way wipe away all of my worries but, i've been thinking just way too much
I've been thinking just way too much
We don't talk that often but we're still in touch
I've been thinking just way too much
I've been thinking just way too much
[Verse 3]
I would never sit in the back of the class, except for the times when i'd sit in the back of the class
Because i was black and i didn't think that i would last
And as i got older i'd lie to my mom and tell her i passed
I failed my driving test because i was going too fast
Where was i going? i don't know but i was in a hurry though
Probably missing my bros like mario, turned to the passenger seat and said "cayls, imma marry you"
Then we went off the side of that cliff, no parachute but we kissed
Waiting to hit the ground but we missed
I woke up to my sister singing wake up
Remember "we only made it cause we stayed up"?
Now i'm sleeping way more than before
But i still have my brightest ideas at 4 in morn
My heart is heavy and torn, but nothing like before
And now they're all listening like "bk, what's in store?"
[Hook 3]
I'm reminiscing on my memories, it's draining all of my energy
Trying to find a way wipe away all of my worries but, i've been thinking just way too much
I've been thinking just way too much
We don't talk that often but we're still in touch
I've been thinking just way too much
I've been thinking just way too much
I'm reminiscing on my memories, it's draining all of my energy
Trying to find a way wipe away all of my worries but, i've been thinking just way too much

[Verse 1]
I was, the flyest dude up in the mansion house, left with a girl on my arm, you know what i'm about
But nothing happened, in the morning she never saw me out
Now we're practically married, i don't know what else to call this
This is just me being honest
Money running thin like blood thinners, what the bloodclat
When i was a yuut, i'd run around with no care in the world
Reenacting what i dreamed about last night
They were so surprised that my stage presence was so immaculate
But it was nothing, do you know how many times i've practiced it?
Crazy seeing people changing, and suddenly they can't hear what you're saying
Started feeling themselves and they dove off the deep end
They're supposed to be fam but that music you dropping just kept them sleeping
So now we ain't speaking, until i pop and i'll get messages like how's your weekend
And i reply, man it was fine, and i'm doing alright
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
The smell of febreeze, dryer sheets, and marijuana is so specific
But i smell it every now and then and it brings me back to a time when this was just a vision
And there wasn't anyone outside of the crew that would listen
But now i'm buzzing like a bee hive poked with a stick, it's amazing
I try to be humble but i honestly don't see any competition
I messed the game up, who else is doing what i'm doing? missingno one
If you don't get it, it's fine, like a lot of my lines, my childhood is still fresh and alive
I mean, i explain the shit to you but there's still clouds in your eyes
Because where i'm chilling is looking a lot like the logo for byoi
Stop
Not dead, living legend but i reside in the sky
Demon with angel wings so i'm still blessed as hell
Reoccurring imagery, dissecting my soul every night
And if my sister goes crazy, i don't know if i'll be alright

[Verse 1]
Y'all need to take a backseat, 'fore we run up like a track meet
Cause you only know me now joker, you don't know the old me
Always stuck in between, should I open my mouth or keep quiet
Do I acknowledge existence or make it so that they never existed?
So they can keep shooting but always be missing
Wait 'til I post up on instagram and all y'all will have to wear them wristbands
Xs or stamps on the back of your hands
You say that you do but you don't understand
Man, I am an aristocrat
Now I hear them saying this and that
But all of this is more than just rap
I'm a cold blood killer, this is darker than black
[Hook x2]
I'm all up in your city like it owe me things
Your girl texting my phone after my number changed
I'm the man, walking 'round like everybody knows
And I don't even hate to say I told you so
Yeah
Cause I told you so
Yeah
Cause I t-
[Verse 2]
They said "Oh man, you guys are rappers right? No wonder why your whole crew's so big"
I said "Yeah man, we rap, it's true, and every outing is a crew thing so they coming through"
I'm looking like oliver here with my company
Why should I worry man, why should I care?
I'm living my life like I have nothing to fear
Running your mouth like you have sneakers on 'em
Lysh told me that they're so below me, so I put a sneaker on 'em
Now I'm yelling out like, "Oh lord, I put my soul on 'em!"
I'm off it again, I'm laughing, it's true
Don't knock it man until it happens to you
You know what they say, I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
Yeah, you know what they say, I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
Yeah, you know what they say, I ain't 'fraid of no ghost, no ghost

[Verse 1]
It was all worth the wait, i just had to find myself first
And the people i'm surrounded with, they say you are who you chill with, guess i'm the greatest ever
I'm trying to be honest, not clever
You and your squad's like whatever
It's a movie when we're together
I mean, we're so driven, so focused like ford
And we're still so young, trying to be successful
But man trust me, it wasn't always like this
My life was the moment before the boss fight, better save it
I'm the hero of this story, no one can steal my glory
Turn my snapback to snap back to reality
Weaving thoughts into a tapestry, it's mastery
The people who used to laugh at me are the same ones tryna laugh with me
They finally see i'm trying to make history
[Hook x2]
It's our life and we're living our dreams
It's our time so you know what that means
Times like these will never be forgotten
We came up from the bottom, greatness is the only option
[Verse 2]
Growing up they tell you to follow your dreams
But they'll tell you to focus on what's important if it seems out of reach
Say your opinion's important but won't listen when you speak
The same ones who have an idea but they'll give up in a week
Man it's crazy growing up, they expect you to not be a kid but in your heart that's all you are, and what you'd rather be
With your imagination intact, but we plan on going beyond all that man that's a fact
Now a days, they ask me what i do, and i reply with "anything i want to"
And i'm not being cocky man i promise it's true
I do this for me man, i'm not trying to be cool
Now a days, they ask me what i do, and i reply with "anything i want to"
And i'm not being cocky man i promise it's true
They ask me what i do and i say "anything i want to"
[Hook x4]
It's our life and we're living our dreams
It's our time so you know what that means
Times like these will never be forgotten
We came up from the bottom, greatness is the only option

[Verse 1]
I miss my best friend, i know he miss me too
I wish i could be there for him and everything that he's going through
But i moved away, so i can't and it's hard
And i don't really always know what to say
But this is my open letter to you, a few years from now there'll be an empty room, and i just hope that you'll come through
We can start over, follow our dreams like we wanted to
We all get lost sometimes, you found me so imma find you
That's on my life cause wherever you are you're doing fine, right?
Damn
I got some new ones but it's all good and they ain't day one but they day one
Living on the edge but they saved him
Yeah
And now petey's like my other half so that's brophet forever
Me and chavo gon' do this world tour we been talking 'bout, they can shoot it down but never say never
But my biggest fear is in a couple years imma listen to this and none of it's true
Now i'm sitting here thinking like what would i do?
True story, real life
I'm just trying to get this right
True story, really life
I'm just trying to get this right
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I wanna text my mom, "why do you say things like that?
I'm sad you're alone, i hate that i'm grown"
But instead, i reply with, "okay" exclaimation point, to make it less awkward and just pretend that you know
If i worked on school like i work on this flow, we would've been rich but instead, i don't even flip pages, i scroll 'em
Thought i would love having people up on my scrotum
But i hate it, i haven't made it
And a lot of the people that i hang around with, they stay searching for drama
And that confuses me because they're the same ones saying "yo jordan, no one's working as hard as you"
I wanna say "if you push all that drama away, this could be you"
And it's hard, all i ever wanted to do was inspire people, especially the ones who are around me
So man in the end, i think that i failed
They say you are who you surround yourself with, so maybe i'm not who i think i am
So, i'll cut off my wings and jump off that cliff to see if i'll fly
It's a risk because man if i don't then i die
And all of these thoughts of not being alive got me thinking
I wonder what they would do without me
[Ending]
I can't help falling in love, yeah, i'm falling in love, with you
I'm falling in love
I can't help falling in love, yeah, i'm falling in love, with you
I'm falling in love, with you

[Verse]
I look myself in the mirror, asking what i'm doing
I have songs that i'm sitting on, projects that never move along
Talking 'bout other rappers who are doing it wrong
But damn, i'm just talking to myself, right?
Peter told me not to sell myself short because i could sell myself out
In arenas, no doubt
And i could go further than i ever dreamed about, yeah
I have a bunch of people who are looking up to me
But i have even more who behind my back are judging me
So i keep my circle real small
Catch me with my moon crew and dragon squad
Catch me with my misfits, it's real hard to miss this
I know so many people who never wanted to listen but-
Ah never mind forget it
Go to someone you care about, put your hands together
Fuck all that hating and violent shit, we gon' dance forever
[Hook]
Now everyone's hands are up in the air, waving them back and forth like they don't care
And i'm yelling out that i want this forever, i'm yelling out that i want this forever
You don't have to be alone, we can do this together
You don't have to be alone, we can do this together
I'm yelling out that i want this forever
I'm yelling out that i want this forever
Go to someone you care about and put your hands together
Go to someone you care about and put your hands together
Forget all that hating and violent shit, we gon' dance forever, forever

[Verse 1]
I played this for my sister and she lost her marbles
The town is ours, i'm only missing goggles
Whoa
We're so black and white, but they don't get it right
I made this track, looking for a fight
Back to the past, i'm so sick and tired, i told you i'm coming
I listen to local artists and they all up to something
Yo
We ain't up to nothing, until there's a time when we're up and coming
It's funny, it ain't even been a year, man i'm still experimenting with things
Wait til i drop the album, wait til i'm doing shows across the country
Wait til your girl hears my music, and she wanna come with the crew and her excuse is that it's therapeutic
Wait til i pop, wait til it drop, wait til i blow, but yo, most of all, just wait til i stop
[Hook x2]
Silence is deadly, oh lord, i hate when they friend me
Gotta pretend to be friendly, these jokers ain't ready
[Verse 2]
Silent is the way that i like this, you're running outta time, crisis
Kill the kid who wrote this, all you other joker's bogus, disappear like hocus pocus
All black is the motive, just in case you didn't notice
Step on the scene, it's explosive
They know this
I been making some promises, i know i can't keep 'em
I treat my rivals like their music and i just sweep 'em
Or i treat them like my fans, and i just sleep 'em
Because that's all they do, forget it, don't need 'em
All i want are supporters, who are up in my corner, we're balling four quarters
Man the tide is changing, your existence is fading, y'all thought i was playing
But like my sister, i just keep slaying
(must run in the family)
Look at me
I never asked, i demanded attention
I been counting my blessings, learning my lessons
Dodging these questions, coming with weapons
We became monsters the moment that we were cast out of heaven
And not to mention, we are self proclaimed gods
Just tryna even the odds, come step to the squad
The jealousy is real tonight, jealousy is real tonight
I'm over being so polite, i'm trying to be the greatest ever and, oh god, i swear i might
You missed it, the day i was born i took flight
Go ahead, ask your questions, i'm still staying up all night
Everything is changing but we are forever
Everything is changing but we are forever
Forever
