I ain't saying it's my best life now
Hell, I ain't even really tryna rest right now
Well, long as I ain't under it, arrest right now
I ain't complaining, I'mma play the game and let's find out

And I ain't saying I'm a hundred percent
But till a day ago I didn't even know what it meant
Gun running, smuggling, covenant-covered in debt
I'm in effect now, coming up from under your threats

Weighing up the scales, I'm gonna give em the boot
Fin, finishing, and follow in a different suit
And I ain't much for guns, but damn I'm picking these shoots
So I can bloom where I'm planted without forgetting my roots

Eschew a selfish act, that's a hell of a tack
Showing love to all my people, I've been helping em back
But now my time's up, I've got nothing else and I'm packed
So I'mma sail the whole world and put myself on the map


I always see you in my fantasies
When I take a long walk through the tangerines
See the sunlight shine through the canopy
Then I'm opening my eyes on my family

Rough days, struggling and facing doubts
But I got a lot tougher and I made it out
And I know you're gonna smile when I say it now
Yeah, it took a long time, but I made it out



Living on my own so long
What'd I pin my own soul on
How'd I ever go so wrong
Now on, I ain't living on my own, so long

I ain't never had a crew before, not like you before
Nah, they only ever saw what they could use me for
Thought I was doomed for sure
But you and yours knew that I was due for more

Now I've gone out to sea, nawmean?
Not me looking out as if I've gone to see
Nami, be the boss of this economy
Nonstop, cuz I got nobody conning me

Doesn't matter if I had a better offer or not
Ten out of ten times, friends, friends are all that I've got
So it's a hard lock, I'mma be a part of the flock
And when my heart stops, honestly, it's all that I want


I always see you in my fantasies
When I take a long walk through the tangerines
See the sunlight shine through the canopy
Then I'm opening my eyes on my family

Rough days, struggling and facing doubts
But I got a lot tougher and I made it out
And I know you're gonna smile when I say it now
Yeah, it took a long time, but I made it out

I always see you in my fantasies
When I take a long walk through the tangerines
See the sunlight shine through the canopy
Then I'm opening my eyes on my family

Rough days, struggling and facing doubts
But I got a lot tougher and I made it out
And I know you're gonna smile when I say it now
Mom, it took a long time, but I made it out
