Too Late
Def Manic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Too late and Ima just be myself,
'Cause Ima go getter never stop this dreaming and we go...

[Verse:]
When one opportunity comes, the other one goes,
Like Mayweather you just gotta stay up on your toes,
Bitches don't understand the game that I am still playing,
You know what I'm saying, I'm just tryna play it real cool,
A lot of people ego driven and just leaving the school,
I can't live in the now because the future awaits,
Different state, different weed, different thing affecting my fate
It's(too late too late in getting small)
And that's just the motherfucken fact of the matter,
Craving some head even if this bitch keeps getting fatter,
Cause this is life, nothing is ever guaranteed,
Does anybody have my motherfucken marijuana seed?
Damn I can't find it anywhere, this shit is unfair,
Looking through my problems and they say Ima get her,
Tryna build myself to be better,
Flexible and consistent and,
Relevant and persistent, damn
Never mess with the system, oh!

[Chorus:]
Too late and Ima just be myself,
'Cause Ima go getter never stop this dreaming and we go...

[Verse 2:]

Check it when I say Hi to him, coming back around next week,
When I drank a lot of gin, haven't really even slept in days,
Been running around tryna collect some pay,
Avoiding all this competitive hate,
Gotta make sure no taking from the plate,
Gotta make sure just to vacate,
Bitches gotta be real fine,
2 oclock so I be sublime,
Jumped on that pussy and claimed it's mine,
Keyboard dash with the electric on,
Tired as fuck but my place is warm,
Just did what I had to do and never regret, always respect those that had paved the way for my upbringing,
This feeling I get, when the skys the limit,
Don't need to act grown up, hold up, bitch you can suck my whole nut, don't really give a fuck,
I take my advice but I gotta uplift,
Kick it a bit and be less stiff,
Gotta copy of Ace's tape,
Played that shit till the day break,
Don't really know what else to do,
Fucked around too much at school,
Stacy ain't picking up her fone,
Acting like Kat Stacks all alone,
Up for some early recreation,
But then I got an altercation,
Between me and my occupation,
Got me feeling like a mental patient

[Chorus:]




Too late and Ima just be myself,
'Cause Ima go getter never stop this dreaming and we go...
