Lyrics Don't Mention Tomorrow - Ricky

Welcome back inside this time im gonna show you round
The last time that we talked remember snow was on the ground
And I was pulling all the petals off of roses that I found
She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not, imma go with just not right now
I told my mom this gonna work I know its hard to understand
I know she was feeling nervous till she started seeing fans
And she's still a little worried but im sticking to the plan
But for her the visions blurry cause it really just began

But without I wouldn't do this lets go back to 5th grade
When you was playing all the music it went straight into my brain
And I was playing all the "Blueprints" so you took me too the stage
And as soon as I saw "Jay" thats when everything had changed

Started writing songs from that day on I never quit
Remember ones I did with Shaun we up till dawn trying to spit
Would sit for hours stuck on bars tryin to make the puzzle fit
We was better than we thought for just a couple kids
Thinking back on all those times feels like its just last night
But now its so far away that it feel like a past life
Back then we wasn't counting days it didn't seem a fast life
When did all the time fade I guess grandma always right

And they say live everyday like its your last
When you start at the bottom you got options go to work or go to class
So then you start stressing bout the cash
Working all day to pay the bills can't spend a dollar on your ass
But this is how they want us living nothing we can do
We think the freedoms giving don't you see whats on the news
I wish the powerful would try to live like we all do
They gave us one planet to live on and we'll destroy two

Is love really a thing, Or is it just a feeling
A girl once asked me that and now I can't make a decision
I don't let myself feel it I can't help I can't deal with
I could find my dream girl but force myself to think she isn't

Or maybe I'm in love with this music
Cause she'll be with me till the end and also at my viewing
Lets hope that isn't close cause I got dreams I'm still pursuing
But if I turn to ghost ill try to tell yall how im doing

As far as rapping goes I'm tryna do this all alone
I could've had a couple features that would really help me grow
But I don't want them on my songs I wanna do this on my own
And they don't want me at the top cause I'll be threatening the thrown
And I don't want another man to say that he put me on
But y'all keep saving up your bank until they hop on a song
I'm getting features from top 10 rappers if I want one at all
Right now im Brady waiting at the draft for my name to be called

I hope I go undrafted for the chip on my shoulders sake
And I can make this happen just as long as my composure stays
Y'all true colors coming out like your the leaves on an October day
All your luck is running out the green on every clover fades
Good thing my lucky charm is in my brain
The only way to stop me is to hope I go insane
But you guys running late man im nuts im going crazy
They could drop my name we'll see how much it really phase me

Three songs a day until I got three albums made then maybe I can take a break
And lay my head back in the shade
Times like these I'm waking up myself to say
Don't ever wait these others sleep and one day you gon set the pace

But at this point in time its not a race to me
I'm setting up myself so when I step foot in the game you see
Nothing but Ricky for as long as I can stay on beat
Nothing short of legendary that is what I came to be, yeah
Only second album still a tough act to follow
And the day that I go platinum imma feel like im Apollo
As of now it didn't happen give me beats and then a bottle
I'm still gettin through today so, Don't Mention Tomorrow
