Ayo call it Mardi Gras
This life a party party hard
Everything I know from growing
Is that I'm gon' stay the same
Course I always evolve but the thing is I'll never change
I be going off like "Oh my god"
I'm counting constellations
I see five stars making hard work feel like vacation
I be on my tiger's claw
I been earning stripes
But I been patient
In it for the long haul
Eight wheeler for my family, the whole squad
'Cuz everyone I'm taking
All this cake mean nothing if none of my people taste it
If you weigh me down but I love you, well I can take it
What I had the whole time, the very thing I've been chasing
Make room at the table 'cuz all of my cousins made it, yuh
Ayo call it Mardi Gras
That life a party party hard
Everything I know from growing
Is that I'm gon' stay the same
Course I always evolve but the thing is I'll never change
I be going off like "Oh my god"
I'm counting constellations
Most of what I've lost
In hindsight I truly gained
Everything I've earned
I learned from trying to change
They say actions speak louder
When done for someone else but
Not if nothing that you did
Was truly for yourself
Breath of fresh air
Blackout nights and promises of welfare
Starry nights
Thawing out my mind
Live a star's life, a far light
I been reaching reaching with my friends
Keep the party going
I'ma see it through the end, yea
Ayo call it Mardi Gras
That life a party party hard
Everything I know from growing
Is that I'm gon' stay the same
Course I always evolve but the thing is I'll never change
I be going off like "Oh my god"
I'm counting constellations
When the party's over, who do you look at the stars with?
Who do you evolve with?
Carry you through hardship
People in your corner that would go above and beyond with
Make sure to hold them down, they gon' keep you grounded
But you know sometimes what you love can fade away, yeah
Hold the door open, another one is one the way, yeah yeah
Make amends with what you lost
Take a walk to forget about problems
Another party down the block
Ayo call it Mardi Gras
That life a party party hard
Everything I know from growing
Is that I'm gon' stay the same
Course I always evolve but the thing is I'll never change
I be going off like "Oh my god"
I'm counting constellations
Ayo call it Mardi Gras
That life a party party hard
Everything I know from growing
Is that I'm gon' stay the same
Course I always evolve but the thing is I'll never change
I be going off like "Oh my god"
I'm counting constellations
