AM
Sea I was never into the beaches and all the sands
G#m7
See, I was in the woods with flowers, rainbows and posies
Bm7 AM G#m7
Falling outta my pocket, but ya'll want to know if I swam to cool down

If the AC blows, well then I'm TNT, I'm gone

I'm gone and I'm finished
G#m7
And I ain't seen my friends in a minute

Guessing nothing lasts forever

Nothing sticks together

Sick of sitting in doubt

[Verse 2]
G#m7
Shout out to the girls that I lead on

For occasional head and always keeping my bed warm

Niggas click clack splatter, pew, pew that nigga

Life a game of basketball, you better shoot that nigga
G#m7
'Cause if that cop got trigger, he better pull
Bm7 AM
'Cause when I get pulled over, I usually play it cool
BbM
'Cause I know what I'm driving is usually paid in full
Eb7
And my ego and possessions, will not let me be one
Dm7
Because I got a mansion, my mansion got some rooms
DbM
Them rooms got some windows and my windows got some views
BbM
Them views get some stares and my backyard does too
Eb7
And if you walk to the bottom you'll prolly see a pool
Dm7
You better not drown, keep them ten toes up
DbM
'Cause if those ten toes down, that mean that you fucked up
BbM
And that's what I swim in
