The Now

[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...
