DROPOUT

Anytime I talk DMT, I think of Ronquillo
 Back when we used to sing around campus
 City College was hardly fuel in our minds
 We'd rather fantasize on what could entrance us
 Behind the art building a few of them would burn bush
 Pass it to me, then turn, look back to me 'cause I never want it
 But it was a vibe, homies with open minds
 Couple guitars, sides, thinking about thighs
 Hunting for feminine energy just to shoot the gun
 But I learned to point that equal sign instead
 Dropped out because I was pointed to the road
 Staying there was like pointing it to my head
 Your world is never enough unless you see it
 And I needed to be unconscious under another space
 So no sleep under a slow city
 But it puts me in my place when I visit Riverside
 Riverside, Riverside, Riverside
 Meet me over at Shell Taco
 Follow me down Alessandro
 Palm trees with the sunshine
 Lemme visit Riverside
 Riverside, Riverside, Riverside
 Homies gonna pack a bowl
 Then we jog on Mount Rubidoux
 Flat top, later on tonight
 Memories, memories, memories
 Past times when I'd give away my energy
 Some friends with privilege some with big dreams
 Some with poppy seeds some with 'phetamines
 I guess a big heart with open doors has a lot of room
 But that's a lot of weight to carry 'round
 I look forward and flap my wings now
 But it still brings me back when I visit Riverside
 Riverside, Riverside, Riverside
 Meet me over at Shell Taco
 Follow me down Alessandro
 Palm trees with the sunshine
 Lemme visit Riverside
 Riverside, Riverside, Riverside
 Homies going to pack a bowl
 Then we jog on Mount Rubidoux
 Flat top, later on toni—
 See yeah, y'all pulling out like a whole other side of me, I can't handle that no more
 I'mma be real with it for the rest of my life at this point (Yeah)
 I'm in a boat tryna float
 If you knew what I'm dealt with, then you know why I wrote
 Hard to know what's real, show what's sincere
 You know that feel? Nah
 They say giving up is as easy as popping a pill
 I'mma need me a Tylenol, 'cause it makes me ill
 They say food for the soul, but I can't really relate
 I feel like I need a plate, I feel at my least today
 Probably even mad enough to say just what I wouldn't say
 Almost like I had it then I didn't and wanna escape
 But nah I'm not a flake, I just wanna leave
 No friend of mine could understand unless they know me
 And if they don't, then they don't see why I'm sad
 Then they ain't worth the notes and they ain't worth the wraith
 And I really feel kinda bad, 'cause I dip out on people
 And I walk out quick 'cause I don't feel equal
 And I seem like I care more, for you than I me
 Just know that I don't
 Just focus on team building
 It's hard to cross 'cause family can double cross you
 Friends shrug if they lost you
 So much has change—man, fuck
 Much rather get knowledge than get played
 Tryna stay clean and just fade (Fade, fade)
