What We Came Here To Do


Favorite Life

You’re right on time like that
From that grind I’m back to you
I want your company I’ve been gone so long from that feeling
And rush hour just isn’t my primetime jam
Been tryna blast off through the glass ceiling
Hoping that we stay together on this adventure
Only getting fresher with time
I remember when we had lesser tired of just tryna get by
Sick to my stomach things weren’t better
They say do what you love and you won’t work ever
Let me escape the moment, I need the time and space to hone this
Gotta have that laser focus like a ray of light through this though
Sick of just praying and hoping, I need room to grow
Tired of renting homes but one day we’ll own it
I’ma get it, count my blessings
But won’t rely on pennies from heaven
My mind’s been on it 24/7
To make enough that we don’t have to worry at all
I’ve got my jet fuel I’m still going off of that first spark

You got me headed straight for the moon
With the way that you do what only you can
I make my own luck now, baby needs new shoes
Won’t you tell me, what’s the true plan?
Looking down at the heels when it’s all done
‘cause those kicks, they ain’t for the long run
And I only wanna make it with you
Feels like what I came here to do, but I’ve got

I need this affinity to tame the chaos in me
These days in the city feel like chasing the wind
Seems this industry’s toxic, this game I’m in deep
Heart’s not for sale but for that new life I would donate a kidney
Not here to thrill seek but can’t stay away from this rush
And it might kill me, feels like it’s all work and no play
But all I know’s this inspiration won’t wait
So afraid that this is how it always will be
Won’t take it for granted, don’t know what we’ve got until it’s gone
With how much we’re apart to go for something we want
It’s like a love affair, can’t have it both ways
But if you’re my soulmate then I’m living like it’s everything or nothing at all
And when it’s no more fun and games
One track mind with this I’m a runaway train
‘cause there might not be another way
But we’ve made our journeys parallel and I’ve been punching above my weight
Far from a saint but made enough mistakes to get my lucky break
No more black cloud, shoot for the sky once I take aim
For everything we need, so take a chance on me
I promise that we’ll win and I only play for keeps
And if what I choose ever has me in debt
I’ma pay it back with a reality check
And if what I choose ever has me in debt
I’ma pay it back with a reality check

You got me headed straight for the moon
With the way that you do what only you can
I make my own luck now, baby needs new shoes
Won’t you tell me, what’s the true plan?
Looking down at the heels when it’s all done
‘cause those kicks, they ain’t for the long run
And I only wanna make it with you
Feels like what I came here to do, but I’ve got

Got so far to go
Got so far to go
Got so far to go
