Lex Carter - 23 In Italy

Copied!

Twenty three in italy, man i wonder what's next for me
Took a risk with similes, for the sake of my family
Lately i been having good and bad thoughts
It’s been 50/50 but i'm still taking all these dam shots
I ain't drunk yet but she still sending me are you up text
And you don’t got to be that smart to know what is up next
Good sex, good views
Big cheques, same muse
I been living life, cause we all got to pay dues
And i'm feeling nice but i'm still the same lil dude
Self conscious, self aware
I wanted to disappear
That part wasn't fun but i'm thankful that i'm still here
I grew out my hair, now grans calling me rasta
Looking like my dad, i got the sauce like some pasta
Smoking is his culture, so i honor it highly
High grades all day plus i'm still rocking some nikes
Blew my first trees, when he was way overseas
Mums still blamed him, now it's my thing
It keeps me in touch with the earth
Make me give thanks for what life is worth
I want a lamb truck, ain’t tryna see no hearse
Fam never seen a mil, i want to break that curse
Fam never been to venice or to tuscany
Had to get out of my city, felt like custody
Finally making moves in the city but it’s a pity that it took so long
Now you got to build a good foundation that is strong
Glad we moving in the right direction
Let me be honest with you girl, you got my attention
I want to give you some
Love and affection
You got my attention
What's your intentions girl
Love and affection
You got my attention
What’s your intentions girl

I can't believe what life is
Felt so at peace with life
When i'm with the wife it's so nice
Italy breeze, smoking trees
Sex in the bath
Then i take her out to dinner, we both flyer than a visa
Italy was the first stop, we might just hit ibiza
And she want me paint her face like she mona lisa
I mean i been painting pictures all year long
But this gon be one of them ones, they gon feel this song
Traveling and painting pictures, like i’m playing away fixtures
Need some fanta for this mixture but only a little bit
Cause i can't be rolling bombs
Called mom to show her the fit
She said, boy you think you fly
Yea mom i'm fly as a bird
And they still playing catch up
Yea i know you must have heard
All these similes and verbs
Hoping it could take me far far away
Cause in this life of sin, all i want to do in win
All i want to do is shine, make time for the ones that matter
And i plan to make a big change but that's in the latter
For now i just want some big chains and lots of designer
Since a minor i had big dreams, stack the racks in my jeans
Now my jeans flare, swear you guys not keeping up
Feel like the man of the year and i'm still now going up
