Birds & Bees - Topaz Jones

We were laying in the grass sun turning us blind

Flowers bloom as the bees and the birds intertwine

I wish that we could be just like them

When I’m cold if your mind is as dirty as mines you find gold

I see too many souls sitting next to the sign soul

They already wanna purchase my mind

And that’s the reason why my momma used to work overtime

Just to pay her way to school that’s a version of grind

An ebony in the Ivy League the first of her kind

She always say she see the face of Curtis in mine

That’s my daddy though I’m happy that he had me

When he call I only pick it up a third of the time

I know it’s wrong pop

But making money off

Music’s a long shot

A Hail Mary if you will

That’s why you told me do it for the love and fuck the money

Never shed a single tear for stale dairy when it spill

When it’s real

You can feel it in your chest

Used to mimic Andre least I was stealing from the best

Now it’s only me and you fuck a pill and to the rest

Get arrested fuck a pills I be the villain til the death

I guess that’s what it is now

I turn around and got some friends who’s raising kids now

I want a JR of my own see the way I’m in my zone

When he finally come of age he gon take over a throne

Getting thrown cause I’m old enough

I think we’re growing up

Our parents say we’re not home enough

So many years staring at those powder blue walls and green carpet

Now it’s new colors since she put in on the market

But before the big bang it was darkness

Before we quit games it was August

Recited our goodbyes to each other

Only keep in touch when lying with each other

I can’t handle all this change

I just hope Malia still believe in Santa Clause the same

I slipped a new iPod under the tree

So she can hear all of the songs I know her momma scared to play

Prom date just got engaged happy for you Marissa

That night in June I was probably just to nervous to kiss you

But now your boy got a girl

Can’t believe it took me this long to realize we’re no one without someone to

miss us

And if one day that ship sails I got a pole for the fishes

I tackle box all day tryna cope with the distance

The kids addicts they overdosing on image

And as for your favorite rapper well he gotta pose for the pictures

Guess that’s how it is now

That’s the sound of music and they all fish now

They fill the world up with screens to keep our eyes off the page

We all live inside an arcade
