In Crowd
F.Y.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i realized their compromise and i know its not right
So forget your fashion and forget your club
That same social bath water rub-a-dub
And while you're doing that
I'll pay attention and i'll get by i'll do it myself
My clothes look worn because they are- Abercrombie's a bitch
And I drive my old car like a super star cuz my mom and dad ain't rich
A spray in the face with reality's mace
Is going to bring the sting of the real world
Keep moving keep moving everybody like you told us before
Keep moving its true what you do is coming back to you in the end
