Faith
The Allens Lyrics

We should take a walk someday, dream about what we could've been
We should take some time to reminisce on our past and what our lives could have been like if we made different choices.

But I don't wanna leave this place, 'cause no faith in Brooklyn (Yeah)
I am hesitant to leave Brooklyn because I am not confident that I will be successful elsewhere.

If I move out one day, it will make me a better man (What up Jhameel)
I believe that leaving Brooklyn could lead to personal growth and development.

But I don't wanna leave this place (It's Hoodie, It's Hoodie), No faith in Brooklyn
Despite the potential benefits of leaving, I still lack confidence in myself and my abilities to succeed if I leave Brooklyn.

I said I'm so gone, oh my God, where the menu?
I am in a state of confusion or disorientation, unsure of what to do next.

Order me all your sushi for them bitches at the venue
I want to impress the people at the event with expensive sushi.

Stop, drop, roll, continue
I am able to quickly change direction and keep moving forward regardless of any obstacles that come my way.

'Cause they just try to mingle, and I'm just trying to sing you a song
Others may be interested in socializing and networking, but I prefer to focus on expressing myself through music.

Tell ya that I'm leavin' but I won't be long
I may be leaving, but I plan to come back soon.

If it was up to me I would see ya tomorrow
If I had a choice, I would return to Brooklyn as soon as possible.

But talk's cheap so I'm paying up
I am willing to take action and make sacrifices to achieve my goals instead of just talking about them.

And new kicks be the only way I'm laying up
To me, success and status are largely tied to having the latest and greatest material possessions.

So maybe I won't make it as an athlete, but that don't mean I'll let the competition pass me
I may not be the best at sports, but I will still strive to compete and improve myself.

I money ball, Billy Beane and some skinny jeans
I am unconventional and embrace alternative methods to achieve success, even if they do not fit the traditional mold.

And the whole damn team just some mini me's
Others on my team or in my circle are similar to me in their goals, abilities, and styles.

'Cause they ain't seen another kid like this
I am unique and different from others, and people may not fully understand me or my vision.

It's on your mind baby you should probably write this
I inspire others to create and express themselves, and they should take note of their thoughts and feelings.

I told her I can dance good for a white kid
I am proud of my ability to perform and entertain, despite potential stereotypes or assumptions about my race.

So turn around, show me everything I might miss
I am curious and open to new experiences and perspectives, and want to learn as much as I can.

I said repetition-repe-repetition like a muscle man
I am dedicated to repetition and practice like a bodybuilder is dedicated to building their muscles.

You just wanna tie me up, snap me like a rubber band
Others may try to control or limit me, but I refuse to be held back and will continue to push forward.

It's 2012 so now they wanna ask me what's the plan
I am asked about my goals and ambitions in the current year, as if that will determine my success and worth.

I tell 'em never trust a man unless he Russell Brand
I only trust those who have established themselves as successful and credible in their field, such as Russell Brand.

Pass me on that Absinthe now watch me change my accent
I am willing to experiment with new things and change my behavior or persona to fit my surroundings.

I got girls in the back on a mattress
I have romantic or sexual partners waiting for me in a private area.

You got girls on the map, like, that's it
Others have specific options or prospects for romantic or sexual partners, but I have more general and open-minded plans.

They wanna know, am I Jay Sean or Raekwon?Good Sean, or great Shawn?Stay long, or Kreayshawn?
Others are curious about my identity, style, and future plans, and suggest various potential paths for me.

Now, either way, they try to stifle your dreams
Regardless of what I choose, there will always be people who doubt me or try to discourage me from pursuing my dreams.

I tell 'em keep your eyes open, you won't like what you see
I warn others that there may be negative consequences or discoveries if they delve too deep into their doubts and fears.

They be here for a minute, now they gone in a week
Others may have fleeting, short-lived success or popularity that fades quickly over time.

You tryna Dante the peak, I'm tryna Andre the beat
I aim to create my own legacy and style, rather than just following in others' footsteps or achieving temporary success.

Lord, can you tell me where my faith is
I am unsure of my own beliefs and values, and seek guidance or validation from a higher power.

I graduated and I still ain't made the A-List
Despite achieving an important milestone like graduating, I still feel unrecognized or unfulfilled in my career or personal life.

Ain't a problem if you tell me how you feel girl
I am open to criticism or honesty from others, especially in relationships.

I know the road rules, but you need the real world
I am experienced in life and its challenges, but acknowledge that others may need to learn and make mistakes on their own.

I said ooh, girl, turn around
I am attracted to someone and want to see more of them.

Tell me where we're goin' now
I am curious or unsure of what the future holds for myself and this person.

Ooh, girl, take it back
I want this person to return to an earlier moment or feeling we had together.

I don't want to end like that
I do not want our relationship or connection to come to an unsatisfactory or unhappy conclusion.

'Cause I'm all over the world
I have traveled or experienced many different places and cultures.

And come back to Brooklyn
Despite this, I still feel a strong connection to my home in Brooklyn.
