Island Hopping

I took some time off just to see the world Island hoppin’ in my Jordan 4’s Box Logo Tee Bermuda shorts, clean resorts, full of tan women Cooler feel, cold bottle in them Stretched out like the 7th inning My 7th heaven is some miles away But I’ll just sit here, American dream in this beach chair today Leave my troubles in the past years and try and stay humble When the clouds clear cuz nobody was around here When everybody doubted (yea) Now it’s open letters and gift mail Kind words from strangers that don’t sit well And every chick I meet is out to get mill I feel Safe on this Island, all my thoughts are locked away Safe on this Island, a treasure full of diamonds Gems for the rhymin’, I drop them every now and then Black it now, smoke through the wind Ashes on the pages of my journal made from snake skin Staring in the ocean where the great swim I’m thinking ‘bout jumping in Came a long way from jumping tens Switches on the Impala, tires so skinny I was bouncing on rims (Popping my collar) Listening to Pimp, UGK ish I was underground then, still underground now Difference is I’m under palm trees, not trying to be found Close my eyes and breathe (just breathe) Suddenly I can feel a breeze (feel a breeze) Let myself float away cuz I spent every day strugglin’ I know that my escape has an island, just an island away They said don’t let this money ever change me Or let MMG play me Or none of these music niggas downgrade me They say in the land of many, I’m king A savior to the whole dream The same player who kept his goal clean Khaki starchin, his shirts steamed Shoe strings help my pants up Now I’m hula dancing with my thumbs up Scuba diving in my sun trunks Scrooge McDuck with these big bucks Green fingers from this paper countin’ Made enough last year to put my mama next to mountains But who’s counting, drowning Or should I say basting in his glory Poor boy, the wealthy man is how I'll end my story When it’s all said and done, with this life I had fun and did what I love Had no regrets, held no grudge White doves and seagulls remind me of my travels Spread my wings and fly away Don’t cry if I should die today I left my mark every mile I stay Collect my thoughts and paddle away You can collect my thoughts and paddle away Close my eyes and breathe (just breathe) Suddenly I can feel a breeze (feel a breeze) Let myself float away cuz I spent every day strugglin’ I know that my escape has an island, just an island away I was underground then and still underground now Difference is I ain’t tryna be found I ain’t tryna be found I was underground then and still underground now Difference is I ain’t tryna be found
