Lyrics

Hook
Dreams of riding with the top down
Through my town
Know what I'm talking bout
This life can't stop now
You know
It's a matter of time now
Bet they all bow down
When they see my crown

You know (x3)
Dreams of riding with the top down


Verse
Just a young king
Searching for newer meaning
Newer purpose among these verses
And maybe a new beginning
Grew up in a city
Urban world is so gritty
Where none of the people feel you
All the girlies sidity
Nose parallel to the ceiling
Never seen vertical breathing
Until I moved here
Culture shocking; pistols poppin'
When I moved here
Bullets
Fly through here
Like naval shows at the lake
When angels fly through air
With all these bullets that gain miles through here
I'll be surprised if an angel even died through here
Even street sweepers barely ride thru here
Why would we be served any quicker
Like drive thrus here
(They like) Young King
Tell me what you doing here
I ain't have a choice
My mama moved us here
(They like) Young King
Tell me what you doing here
Fighting for survival
Proving that I can maneuver here

(Hook)

Verse
Lost in the world
Caught in the world
Trapped in my vices
Gettin a grip on live
But in the process of tryna prosper
I found myself looking awkward
Searching for my future
In the rearview of where I started
My people know I departed
In search of some better objects
Most of them thought I was tarnished
And tried playing it off as flawless
I flaunted my flaws
Always remaining honest
To the rest that wasn't the smartest
But regardless
I remain flawless
Because you can't move ahead
If you're stuck looking back
So I stopped looking over my back
And left everything where it's at
So in the past is where the past stays
I'm focused on my last days
Or what y'all call the future
I just maneuver
And keep on improving

(Hook)

Bridge
Let's have a toast for the good times
A shot for the pain
Hide the hate with a smile
Share a kiss in the rain

Verse
Riding through the hood
Music with the top down
Dreaming of a day when I can get to be Pac now
Living like Biggie
Riding slower than Pimp C
And if this life kills me
I pray they never forget me

(Dreams of riding with the top down) (4x)
