Lyrics
Yea
Two students that had each other back in a world against em
Who barely showed up to class once they had each other’s attention
I’m down to spend every minute that I can to her limits
Cause usually she down to kick it until she get tired of niggas
Music’s our common interest we rambling about Kendrick
And Kid Cudi I’m tryna put her on to shit that she missing
But she had everything I mean everything I was listing
So I even gave her my tapes and hoped she would try to listen
The kinda bond where it get hard not to fall in ya feelings
But she talking bout friendship (what?)
A similar commute we on the same side of town and her school close to my campus
So when I get off the bus it’s fuck it I’m bout to go down there
I’ve always struggled to converse if it wasn’t a verse
Social anxiety it got me stumbling on words
But I always speak my mind and shit when I’m with her

Corner store to the porch with my new thing, yea a new thing
We’ll get lost in the world like we wanted, hey you know me
Corner store can’t afford shit but your chips, hey the choices
We don’t gotta mature we’re just young kids, hey so fuck it

I had everything I needed, everything
Yea I had everything I needed, everything

Yea
My niggas that had each other back in a world against em
From a poverty stricken parable that our hearts had written
We come from fifty cent bags of candy and penny pitching
It’s like a wishing well if we gave the concrete our wishes
We dreamt so loudly we would wear it when the sun would slow up
On the greyest day we on the train in our colorful clothing
A childlike innocence we cherished it and tried to hold it
We was either asking bout performances or where the hoes was
My granny basement became the mecca like Eric Forman’s
The cushion in my uncle couch fell out but we still on it
Shit if you ever need a place to stay you can sleep over
If not it’s back to CTA I’ll catch y'all in the morning
The greenline dangerous for us it's just how we get home
I wanted dreads I put a brush down and I grabbed a comb
I can take you where it’s rough I mean the catacomb
All these bodies dropping same blocks that we played tag
For some old shit they wanted they payback
So we escape it all in the booth with the playback
Cause this the only place that we knew you were safe at

Corner store to the porch with my new thing, yea a new thing
We’ll get lost in the world like we wanted, hey you know me
Corner store can’t afford shit but your chips, hey the choices
We don’t gotta mature we’re just young kids, hey so fuck it

I had everything I needed, everything
Yea I had everything I needed, everything
Say had everything I needed, everything
Cause I had everyone I needed
