Ants

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)
