[Chorus - Dave]
I won't laugh if you smile
Fabricated tales tend to take a while
I won't laugh if you smile
To each his own thats my way, yeah

[Verse 1 - Carter]
I got tattoos, so people think I'm cool
college's better than school
I smoke pot, it's only thing I do
Now you wonder why I wouldn''t trade my life with you
Why?

Cuz you hang the same keys
from the same hook every afternoon
My angels lookin down upon me from a great view
they got my back but they hate you
This all seems so crazy, I swear I never imagined this
remember hittin' dank in the '94
Protege, didn't think it happen as fast as this
but that was then and this is now
it's a different time and a different sound
saying new things from the same mouth
still a Coch kid in my hometown
From a thought to a hobby to a full time career
74th floor in Shanghai when it all came clear
In the hills or the valley, and were far from the finale
I want this so badly, no I won't let go

[Chorus - Dave]
I won't laugh if you smile
Fabricated tales tend to take a while
I won't laugh if you smile
To each his own thats my way, yeah

[Verse 2 - Carter]
Lets meet! I want you to know me
I grew up in the east, on a quiet street
but Im boutta move out and sign a new lease
Cant feel stuck, Expectations, bills and rent
s'all almost a bit too much
but it's money well spent, one hundred percent
I'm someone to trust
I wanna apologize to my old friend
for hookin' up w his girlfriend
I don't wanna get denied from a club
for the color of my boys' skin
but now it's tours, wake me up, interviews, wake me up
I hate when you expect me to pay for ya
got friends that seem to hate me now
I guess that's just the truth of the matter
shouldn't be hard to look down as you're climbing the ladder
I know that we are a difference in the pattern
all your fake talk got me far from flattered

so, run along, run along, I don't wanna see your face here
yeah, don't call it your home
run along, run along, you gon' suck em all dry
run along, run along, cuz we don't no more

[Chorus - Dave]
I won't laugh if you smile
Fabricated tales tend to take a while
I won't laugh if you smile
To each his own thats my way, yeah

[Outro x4]
Would you be so kind
Would you be so kind just say it?
