You know my momma said there's only two things in life that are constant:
That's change and change

It feels like somethings missing but I just don't know,
It's like I'm not the same man that I was, no more
And all these crazy places that I usually know,
Are just not as exciting as they were before.

I think about you constantly, it surprises me,
How I've changed,
My friends are coming down on me,
Saying a playa never changes the game.

Those fellas live in never never land
Right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old,
Those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what it's like to be in love.
Never never land right next to peter pan cause nobody
Wants to grow old, those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what its like to be in love.

It feels like somethings moving inside of me,
My heart is doing back flips in spite of me,
And there's no place that I would rather be
Than with you and my kids, my family
I think about you constantly,
You gonna be my wife eventually
It don't matter what my friends say to me,
There's no changing my mind, so ya'll just pray for me.

Those fellas live in never never land
Right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old,
Those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what it's like to be in love.
Never never land right next to peter pan cause nobody
Wants to grow old, those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what its like to be in love.

Hold up wait a minute, I'm a hustla
Don't be putting my woman in it,
She ain't got nothing to do with this fault,
She is a deacon and she chills in the pulpit
(Ah your wrong dawg)
I don't even need to say no more,
You ain't got the disease but u expect the cure,
Down on your knees praying for that new Porsche
While she's walking out that door,
(She's walking out that door)

Those fellas live in never never land
Right next to peter pan cause nobody wants to grow old,
Those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what it's like to be in love.
Never never land right next to peter pan cause nobody
Wants to grow old, those fellas live in never never land
They'll never understand what its like to be in love.

And I don't care what they told you
30 is not the new 20 its the same old 30
Don't be mad at me jay im just the messenger baby,
I'm just the messenger!
