Peninsula (She Said...)

Ima try to put this the best way You put it to me (Ya know) And let's see (Ya know) They follow, if they do they do, if they don't they don't It's alright baby girl First step miniscule, thinking sensible is a principle stranded on a peninsula And that's word to my floridians, laying flat like the meridian Ducking gun shots flying through they city and Don't tell me ain' know jack, when I was flowing to the words of Biggie in 95 Who you to say I ain' Armani high, when yo money the size of a pony thigh I'm on my only I tip, and it got me self conscious Thinking bout what they say had me indulging in nonsense Schoolyard fights cause son dissed Hear a whistle from the principal, then we all yell "Run quick!" Man how we grow up fast. The memories fade and the opportunities they pass The good times don't always last This is what it's like,where I'm from, so boy don't ask I asked her where she from, she said a peninsula in the slums I can really get into her, she's the one A hundred miles away on that peninsula I asked her where she from, she told me a peninsula in the slums I can really get into her, she's the one A hundred miles away on that peninsula (Then she said...) They tryna put me in a box with a star spangled banner Yet my globe train of thought had other angle standards With no table manners and iPhone camera I manage to still mac, never taking my eye off the apple High off snapple. Peach kush so organic People panic like my panties, they hot to understand it But I keep it raw and straight to the point dammit So manage, or die a slow death like titanic Jack Dawson boys in love with my roses Stop posing. I see right through your pinocchio noses Though open, my heart's frozen With a grand closing asking price I diffuse like osmosis Flow as far as coast is, so don't try to approach it Cause how I coached it, integrity grinds hard, long as you stay focused No longer I stay coaching, I play the field On a peninsula it's the only way we live I asked her where she from, she said a peninsula in the slums I can really get into her, she's the one A hundred miles away on that peninsula I asked her where she from, she told me a peninsula in the slums I can really get into her, she's the one A hundred miles away on that peninsula So you know, like one day I was sitting down talking to this girl from florida, right And she was just like, " You know, in florida, life ain't as breezy as they think" I'm like, "What you mean?" She said, "Well, you go west, and you in the Gulf of Mexico" I said, "Yeah" "Then you go east, and you in the Atlantic Ocean" I said, "Yeah you right" "And then you go south and you in the bahamas and all of that" "So basically, the only way I can make it in America is to go up!" So I sit back and I looked at her, "that's some deep shit" So without any further ado I'd like to dedicate this to you Ms. Florida, "you're right!" Only way to make it in America is to go up So I'd like to toast on our journeys "Baby, I could really get into you, you da one A hundred miles away on that peninsula!"
