Wish i knew then what i know now
People get money, and then they act like they don't know you
People get power, and then they act like they control you
People get fame and attention and act like they're special
But i've seen the most beautiful pieces come from wasted potential, yeah
But money won't cry on your casket
And the power won't make your mind placid
The love people give you is just on a lease
Turn around and burn you down just like acid
Why is everybody always looking down
I wonder if the reason is we're never looking out
For anybody else other than ourselves
Selfish narcissism, down on our knees just for some clout
But i've wasted too much time trying
Convincing everyone i'm fine
Just to convince myself that i
Will always be lost if i can't seem to find it, no
I lay down my head now on my bed to sleep
Keep asking God to give me more, california king
But i've got two queens and two arrows, what else do i need?
Maybe we weren't built to be fulfilled by designer things
No, make money, make money, make money
Fast cars, off-white, new house, high life
Killing myself just to feel like i'm alright
This is not what i thought it was like
This dream that i've had every night
Wake me up
Wish i knew then what i know now
Wish i knew then what i know now
Wish i knew then what i know now
