[Produced by Brock Lucas]

[Intro]
B: Check...

S: You know what I mean?

B: Check—yeah

S: It's just that now I'm more like, "Fuck this bitch"
You know what I mean?

B: Yeah

S: Check—good?

B: Yeah

S: Alright

[Verse 1]
I think about it all the time
The way you used to watch me shine
I was one of a kind to you
Like some vintage wine
But why did we become dry?
I'm tryna realize the lies
Love at first sight
But fuck it I'd rather be blind
And now that you gone—I've moved on
So whose wrong?
You expect me to crumble and tumble
But now I'm too strong
You had me by the neck
But you had me fight for too long
And now your talk is cheap
But it ain't worth none of these coupons
And I'm broke as of right now
Yeah I said as of right now
Meaning in five years—NYC's gon' be my town
So why let you get to me?
I know that you gon' remember me
Like I just packed my bags and rented a room in your memory
I'm here to stay, here to play, here to pray
Everyone's fighting for the crown
Please God let me take it!
You got my heart breaking but I told you I'm broke
So I'm used to the way you change
And your games are a joke
Quit playing
Quit saying that you want to have me
In fact, I made it to the top without you
And I ain't going back
I'mma just look down on you
Crack a smile that turns to a laugh
And let you know that my future is not including our past

[Hook: Amir Royale]
And she knows
She knows (7x)
I know (8x)
She knows (8x)
You know (5x)

[Break 1]
But you should know you ain't slowing me down
I'm going too fast—

[Verse 2]
It takes a real man to realize a real woman
And a real woman to realize where I'm coming from
That's what we got
All that mixed up in a pot
And I'm loving those dots
Up on your dress when it's getting hot
But now it's Winter time
Fire place and dinner wine
In the park
Walking in the dark at night
And trying not to shiver time
You got the essence of a princess
Modern day Magna Carta
Damn, I can even see your tiara
And now I'm down for the job of the peasant
As long as there's a smile on your face
And you're feeling pleasant
And every second is a second that you don't go regretting
And every time you told me you love me
I know that you meant it that's all
Wish we could fast forward
Wish we could blast off
To a better place and laugh our ass off
And pop some beer caps off at NASCAR
To keep you in my arms 'til the day that I pass on
While my future involves you and not any past thoughts

[Hook: Amir Royale]
And she knows
She knows (7x)
I know (8x)
She knows (8x)
You know (5x)

[Break 2]
And you should know they ain't slowing us down
We're going too fast—

[Verse 3]
And I know it seems a little confusing to you
How I moved on from my ex in about a week or two
But it's true
It's only 'cuz you were there from the beginning
And she can compete against you
But you're here for the winning
It's killing me inside
To think that you think that she's on my mind
The only time she's on my mind
Is when I'm picturing her crying at the sight of you and I
Grinning at her from behind
Showing her what she missed out on:
A hell of a great guy
Wish that I could go a year back and take you from the start
But at least I have your heart and all of your body parts
It's a work of art
You should be an exhibit
Dreams vivid of us making love inside our own kitchen
I'm glad I have it
You became my habit
Damnit, don't understand it
Don't need to 'cuz you're my planet
Earth, Sun and the Moon
You and only you
You and I
Just us two
Planning our honeymoon with a tune like—

[Musical Bridge: Brock Lucas & SlimJayy]
Said with a tune like
Damn you my moonlight
You know it's true right?
Yeah—you know it's true

[Break 3]
We're in The Now
Baby, we're in The Now
She's in denial
It don't matter 'cuz
We're in The Now

[Outro]
Yeah
Words can't express what you mean to me
That's why I had to record it all
So you could remember it
Forever
I love you baby
Yahh...
