Culdesac

Mm-mm, mm-mm

Yeah, 2011 in my nissan altima
Whipping through the Florida rain, pulling over, waiting for the storm to fade
Looking back, man, those were the days
Sixteen helping pops put up shutters for the hurricanes
Back before I started making art
I was bagging groceries and pushing carts, waiting for my life to start
But little did I know it already began
It was just me and the fam, yeah, they made me who I am

Life just keeps on changing, time is moving so fast (moving so fast)
We just wind up chasing something we already had (already had)
Overcomplicating what should be simple math
I had everything I needed (I had everything I needed)
I was just too young to see it (I was just too young to see it), yeah

'Cause everything I have goes back (goes back)
It goes back (goes back) to that culdesac
Embedded in the way that I live, the love that I give
It's all thanks to that
And we know deep down at the core of us
That all we ever needed was the four of us
Yeah, everything I have goes back (goes back)
It goes back to that house on that culdesac

Yeah, now I'm out in la, my sister's up in New York
We try to facetime when we're not too busy with work
It seems like yesterday we were selling lemonade
Now we're a long, long way from the everglades
And the group chat's still going strong
Family gets the first listen to every song
I think they're biased though, they say I never miss
I know my mama's gon' cry when I send her this

Life just keeps on changing, time is moving so fast (moving so fast)
We just wind up chasing something we already had (already had)
Overcomplicating what should be simple math
I had everything I needed (I had everything I needed)
I was just too young to see it (I was just too young to see it), yeah

'Cause everything I have goes back (goes back)
It goes back (goes back) to that culdesac
Embedded in the way that I live, the love that I give
It's all thanks to that
And we know deep down at the core of us
That all we ever needed was the four of us
Yeah, everything I have goes back (goes back)
It goes back to that house on that culdesac
