Top Shelf People - Get Gone Lyrics

See I used to be an artist on the scene
Attracted to the lights
You could see me every night
But everything isn't always what it seem
The women steady callin'
Cuz they thought that I was ballin'
All I had was a dollar and a dream
That floated me from Monday to Sunday
I thought that I would be rich one day
Until the one day turned to two day (today)
And that would turn to every Tuesday
Constantly looping
Until I was loopy
I thought that life was pi (pie)
It's infinite and never repeating
Unless it really does
And we just never happen to see it
It has to be
Somethin' out of a math degree
I need a cosign
Before I go off on a tangent
These record advances
Are tying a couple of hands up
And both of em mine
Feel like your dreams are closer than mine
I gotta...

Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Cuz thinkin' isn't thinkin'
Til u thinkin' alone

I mean drinkin' isn't drinkin'
Til u on one
I been geekin' every weekend
Shoulda blown one
My homie Cory jacked a TV
Outta best buy
Used to kick it wit a chicken
Outta Bed-Stuy
Now he chilling in a prison
Like the next guy
And his lady's having babies by
The next guy
And I still write a letter
From time to time
I'm tryin' to tell him keep his head high
But why?
I should've known it
That he woulda blown it
He trying to be strong
I can tell by his tone
That it's starting to wear on
Him a little
Hey diddle diddle
How we gonna ball
If we're the monkeys in the middle
Gotta get up
Try to be gone
Pick up all of pieces and
Leave the baggage at home
Give up all of the leases
Go and buy you a home
Betta know it's time to be grown
It's good to be here
But sometimes you gotta

Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Cuz chillin' isn't chillin'
Til you chillin' alone
Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Get gone. Get get gone
Cuz winnin' isn't winnin'
Til you win on ur own

Gotta be on ur own
Gotta be on ur own
Let my burdens fly when I disappear sometimes
I let em fly
