Thoughts from a Balcony

Let me get a one-way ticket, haven't picked a destination I'm just tryna catch the train before it has to leave the station Packing no bags, nothing but the clothes on my back With a Cognac, let me sip it, tryna to relax Red wine up in my glass plus Filet Mignon I got a army right up under me, I'm Genghis Khan Yeah, it's me against the world, I guess I'll take them on I might stop and see my girl, but I ain't staying long What if I'm gone, what the fuck you gon' think then? I told my story, put my life inside this ink pen Said I'll make it big when, everybody know me Well, I made it big and, everybody phony Ha, so could you pour me, I need a cup No, none of that liquor, mixing purple stuff I could talk my pain, but would it hurt too much Go head, judge me, hate cost money, but this love free They just dreams, turn 'em to reality Double-cup of lean, standing on my balcony Looking at the sky, thinking it could all be mine All we got is memories, so what the fuck is time? They just dreams, turn 'em to reality Double-cup of lean, standing on my balcony Looking at the street, thinking it could all be mine All we got is memories, so what the fuck is time? What the fuck is time? I ask 'em, what the fuck is time? I don't know, what the fuck is time? I ask 'em, what the fuck is time? What do you do when you think you could be an icon? Cause all these people get to screaming with the lights on Like they just seen a ghost, earn my stripes, zebra coat Racing to the gate but my flight gone And now these writers taking shots without a Nikon But I don't fight though, figure it's a typo Seems we in some shit now, gonna be alright though Potion in my sprite, then my night slows down, down See, that's exactly what I need My khaki's filled with cheese, my homie Sap is on the beat Like it was "Donald Trump," a fucking hit but I just call it luck They throw it on when I'm walking in the club Hey, this the Burgh shit, I don't deserve this Well, I don't think you looking far beyond the surface Learn quick, now I'm big time Fill your cup up, and I'ma sip mine They just dreams, turn 'em to reality Double-cup of lean, standing on my balcony Looking at the sky, thinking it could all be mine All we got is memories, so what the fuck is time? They just dreams, turn 'em to reality Double-cup of lean, standing on my balcony Looking at the street, thinking it could all be mine All we got is memories, so what the fuck is time? What the fuck is time? I ask 'em, what the fuck is time? I don't know, what the fuck is time? I ask 'em, what the fuck is time?
