Blood in the Water

They never promise you that you'll never fall
 I can see it's Blood in the Water
 And I ain't keeping track but you never call
 Save me a plate, 'cause boy I'm starvin'
 Runnin' up
 Standards
 Ain't no way the boy ain't plan it
 Ain't no way the boy ain't plan it
 I can see it's done damage
 Elendil with the kingship
 Aragorn with the swordplay
 Frodo Baggins with the ring tho
 Otis Redding with the soul, ay
 I'm from Indiana, came up saying "straight thang"
 But I took it to another level that you never been on
 So get outta my face, mane
 46th and college to the rest of the world and on and on
 A young bull from behind the fairgrounds destined to be a phenomenon
 He's on a run, ay
 So quiet when his song is on
 If I ever land a deal, the first thing I'ma do is call my mom
 My heart beats for this, why they tryna play me raw?
 I promise y'all I'm raw, please tell me what you take me for
 But how do I see myself? I ask this question too
 Sometimes you forget who you are when too many people question you
 Off and on you wish that you could go back to
 When no one was messing with you
 But never regretting or taking for granted
 The plenty of lessons that you
 Learned
 Along the way, you took the path
 That no one traveled but got lost along the way in fact
 I made a mess, I made a name, I may have made some cash
 But that would never take me back
 And them shoes won't help me run from my past
 They never promise you that you'll never fall
 I-I I can see it's Blood in the Water
 And I ain't keeping track but you never call
 Save me a plate, 'cause boy I'm starvin'
 Runnin' up
 Standards
 Ain't no way the boy ain't plan it
 Ain't no way the boy ain't plan it
 I can see it's done damage
 Elendil with the kingship
 Aragorn with the swordplay
 Frodo Baggins with the ring tho
 Otis Redding with the soul, ay
 In seventh grade, I was bumping Luchi and hitting the jiggalate
 At 21, I'm hungry as ever and constantly lookin' for bigger plates
 I went away
 And ever since I been feeling a weighed on mind
 After I left the neighborhood couple years after
 The day that Lil Bango died
 But local celebrities keep rising and falling like light on a new day
 I was never the social anecdote or party animal, or sipping on dusse
 I haven't been active enough
 I been depressed and I been acting up
 Remember acting tough when I was just a little boy in middle school
 My homies talking 'bout gats and stuff
 Those were the good old days in my mind, I guess time flies
 When you're writing rhymes and fighting time
 But it feels like somewhere down the line
 Everything was lost for me
 I went a different way
 And the only thing I got out of it all is that I'm gettin' paid
 'Cause home base is lately feeling like it's no place
 For me to stay
 That's why I got up and walked away
 I love my city, I guess I just never got it back
 So here I go, into the fray
 And maybe one day I'll be back
 They never promise you that you'll never fall
 I can see it's Blood in the Water
 And I ain't keeping track but you never call
 Save me a plate, 'cause boy I'm starvin'
 Runnin' up

 Ain't no way the boy ain't plan it.

 And I ain't keeping track but you never call
 Save me a plate, 'cause boy I'm starvin'
