Where do the ants go?
Empty halls to fill, you know
Small and obscure, wander the world
Where did my ants go?
Truth be told
A million faces say, "Hi"
Stray car go by
Carryin' fish plates on first dates
Finger waves, and hard hairstyles
Callin' in conversations
Pop, lockin', and droppin'
High school sweetheart at the gas station
Wonder who he's dating now
If he's married now (truth be told)
If he's busy thinkin' "what was," like I am now
Should I ask him how he doin'?
"If you're goin' to the second line"
Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now
Fuck it, I'm late for rehearsal now
Erykah told me, "I'll see you in the next lifetime"
Nigga (bye)
Double Dutch and free lunch
Mean hoes and sweet ones
Niggas that like me, dudes that dodge me
Girls wanna fight me 'cause
Like Kimmy, I'm talkin' pretty
Confident an' saddity like Willie
Yet, down to Earth like Freddy
Down to ride, no Bentley
At home, it was Kool-Aid packs and Disney
Lizzie McGuire and One Saturday Morning on the weekends
Never had a pair of Jordans
Don't want none (you know it)
My jump shot don't need sneakers more costly
Than I can afford 'em (yeah)
Rice Krispie Treats and noodles
Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin
'Cause sometimes, 'cause sometimes
I need more space than thoughts can give me
More sky than God provides me
And TV, so I won't get lonely (lonely)
Where do the ants go?
Why do they run away? Ooh, yeah
Leave me alone now
Why can't I make you stay?
I got a JanSport book sack
A girl that be talkin' 'bout me in third period
Oh, well (oh, well)
The beat was still made for me
Reruns of Martin, waitin' on me
More cake for me, cake for me
Amy scare me, Ashley make me jealous
And Cheryl Lynn, my best friend (oh)
Brian, my boyfriend
Gay as his father
But his love letters be sweeter
Than Sno Balls in the east and Freezy Street
All wrapped in one love letter
And a warm sweater in December
I'm better, I'm better
I became whatever (whatever)
Where do the ants go?
Why do they run away? (Run, run, run away now)
Leave me alone now
Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the colors)
I'm prettier than Sunday
On Mondays, I be trippin' (trippin')
My mama want me to wash the dishes
While she make my brother lazy and distant
Fuck it, I'm movin' at 18
Fast-forward, ten years later, it's the same routine
And I'm complaining, catching bucks
Mood change like it's a new thing (ah-ha)
I want everything on anything
Thrift clothes in the basket on a Hummer truck
Man, my life funny as fuck, like Bruce with a cut
Just my luck, I'd end up famous and blunt
Rollin' a blunt, turned down while everyone is busy turnin' up
Can you turn my music up?
Hey, turn my music up
Where do the ants go? (I wonder, I wonder)
Why do they run away?
Leave me alone now (I know)
Why can't I make you stay? (It's just the color)
Where do the ants go? (Down)
Why do they run away? (Run away)
Leave me alone
Why can't I make you stay?
I saw you throw a universe once
That wasn't the type of shit you see every day
(I understand that there is, 'nough now)
