Gun to ya head
That's what waking up feels like
Bottles on the floor like
You're walking on water, lord
Signs of the times
Look, something don't feel right
Momma tried to raise her seed
Now there's flowers on the block
I been thinking bout' taking off
I'm approaching light speed
I just want to live in the past
And die like the stars
I dont wanna be another victim
Of a pipe dream
No matter where you go
That's where you are
Matter fact
Cadillac ambitions all I ever had
In my habitat
Some won't go the distance
Ghosts in my village, yeah
Matter fact
Didnt think I'd make it out
The ghetto land
Miraculous,
Went from rags to riches
Cadillac ambitions, yeah
Soon as you step outside
It's waiting for you
Right where you left it
How you expect this to change?
All they can say is
"Baby I'm praying for you"
They just wanted to shine
Now there's candles in the street
I been dreaming bout' waking up
In another life time
Feels like home
But everything looks so strange
All these years
I've been waiting for the right time
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Matter fact
Cadillac ambitions all I ever had
In my habitat
Some won't go the distance
Ghosts in my village, yeah
Matter fact
Didnt think I'd make it out
The ghetto land
Miraculous,
Went from rags to riches
Cadillac ambitions, yeah
