This me of before we had insomnia Sleepin' peacefully, never needed a pile of Everybody was college-bound, no dollar In God we trust, senior year my prom ain't had no bus My cousin hit me on Facebook, "What shorty you takin'?" I'm lyin', I'm playin', I'm sayin', I got one to take and I'm waitin' on her her a 3 page letter, it's 3 days later, Never hit me back, she broke my So now he IM'ing me shit like, "Yo' is bad?" I pretend not to be depressed, she never me back I hit him back like "Yo', well her, it's on to the next" I that message thinkin' I'm awkward, Prolly' would have sex You know in high school, 16 you prolly My hit me back, "Don't trip, bro. I got you a date." So he sent me this link to some girl I had seen He to call and tell her "Walter sent you, you with me." I think about it for a minute, like his intentions? I mean, we never got along or used to kick it In fact, if I vividly, he picked on me He used to beat me up and my sneakers every family visit I'm skeptical to let her know I'm Walter little What if this shit all a joke, again, what if it wasn't? Would I risk the chance of me potentially fuckin' On some stranger daughter 'cause I barely if I can trust him? not I finally called her, tell her Walter me My name She asked me the color scheme that we gon' wear to prom I'm actin' like I'm not excited, tryna it off So what's the car takin'? Worst worst, my mom can take us I'll call Walter, thank him, he don't trip and just wear black He said she cool and they go back, if any problems, send him I had to, but now we're in tune He Facebook me like not to be a nuisance... But he like 30 short on all his prom suit shit I'm like, "I got you, cuz. the least that I can do." He tell me send him the addy and he'll slide school I'm like, "Ok, bet," never knew where he at He down the street, hella surprised, This where place at? Uncle Carl, Deborah, my cousin Rena And I'm surprised too, my knew, kept this a secret Me and cuz stay the street, living different lives he on the bus, me, I get a ride I gave him 30 on the porch, he never inside He tell me, "Thank you," then he walked home with a smile He tryna it, but I see his dimple I'm thinkin', "Damn, transaction was simple" I'm talking shit, I he hoop, I'm like, Aye, the rim, bro? He like, Tomorrow, if you free, you weak as shit, tho. I know my not So all 3 of us went to the and ran some niggas off the court I'm hella passive, I was passin', I have to score The next day the prom, I sleep, I stayed up My granddad gave me a condom walked away, didn't say nothin' She hopped out of her car and said that her name was My racin', I'm focused, I'm tryna keep it playa her the croissant, or corsage Or whatever the fuck my mom me And said, "Now put it on her hand, Malik", family My taught me how to tie up a tie my dad lived in NY That's why I was shy, so self-conscious pictures on the porch, and then we headed for the prom and Walter went on prom the day, but to a different place So he text me like, "Cuz, this the spot. Let's meet up And bring Jada through," prom flashed, I kept it We up to the function where she brought a change of clothes I'm lookin' like, Damn, I don't know nobody We at this out West and Jada left to get dressed I'm like I'm sendin' text Some stranger get really close, I swear I hear his breath Then he put a knife to my Gave me the run down like, "Jada my And if you hit her, her, make her miss ya, I'ma kill ya!" At this point, I'm exhausted Wondering where the Walter He shows up like 30 after our altercation I never mentioned it to him, he overprotective And I know if I tell him, that he'll beat this nigga's in his body a skeleton, and our night'll end terrible I exhale and say, "Fuck it", and I just to let it go

Walt went to St. Louis, had a full for his hoopin' Him and his got into it, now he back home doing music, aye I was at Columbia, a near straight A student I had one B in a hip-hop class, I thought that shit was He transferred to Robert Morris, living down the street My class let out at and his class let out at 3 Mama asked me where the I been and where the hell I be "I'm with Walter, mom, I'm safe" I keep walkin' in here I might fall off in bed, I get girls now, I get laid I get up followin' Walter, I'm a product of my age He talk to erry' girl in Chicago Wingman, I cannot fly He was in Cal with Impala, he was that in the party Awfully popular for someone that they mention Plus we from the part of city that they mention Just into Twitter and somehow we was barely mentioned We signed our names on the mic list and then they skipped us And then skipped us again like a week later Like, obviously this fuckin' host read the paper Hella' intimidatin', the big guy didn't have to So Walter to the host and said This the name callin' next our way to the stage and then overstayed our welcome An apple never get too far the tree that it fell from like my father tryna do music and hope I make it Walter me for the journey said the city waitin'
