Lyrics Luke Christopher – The Tree In My Front Yard
Text:
The tree in my front yard is losing leaves already
Has the year gone by that fast?
Finally a year of champagne and confetti
Damn, has the year gone by that fast?
All of the doubters are at my feet
And although I’d love to stomp them in the flow
I won’t even give them the credit of saying, «I told you so»
It’s more like
Man how could y’all be so wrong
Is you stupid, or have you not heard me sing songs?
But fuck it
There goes the anger that could be my only downfall
But not to worry cause I stay peaceful while around y’all
My fans, y’all are everything and anything
And I be reading every message that y’all sending me
And although I may not have time to reply
Just remember I love you more than you love I
Hook:
I’ve been staring at the same old tree
Realizing what it means to me
I ain’t trying to be ungrateful
I just want more than what I came for
A world where everyone’s afraid of change
And the hip hop game’s been locked in chains
I said, «Am I the only one, who wants to break free now?»
And for the undeniably lonely only yo, my homie
Because only one so like the afternoon dies slowly son
And rise with the rooster
Fake niggas actin’ like they high off of hookah
You’re a liar, plus you stutter whenever we better
Whenever the kiss is the better the diss is when it happens
This ain’t no «watch yo back» song, paranoid rappers
Nor is it for a girl to put a ring and call her Saturn like the astronaut man
Music gets me higher than an astronaut can
I be the flyest nigga in an astronaut van
But y’all can come with me
Just take this astronaut hand
Hook:
I’ve been staring at the same old tree
Realizing what it means to me
I ain’t trying to be ungrateful
I just want more than what I came for
A world where everyone’s afraid of change
And the hip hop game’s been locked in chains
I said, «Am I the only one, who wants to break free now?»
