Keep my friends close
Keep my enemies away
Cuz look they repelling
Uh they so jealous

They ask me
Are you an optimist 
Or a pessimist
I say I'm a realist
The mainstream is my nemisis
I attract cuz how could they resist

Look I'm being honest sometimes it's easy to burn out
When you don't really know how the future will turn out
I been in school so the one thing that I learned now
Is that all the work I'm putting in will equal what I earn out

And that's just economics in the perfect universe
A place where every girl you meet is saying you the first
And the crowd is singing with me like they knew the verse
Thank the lord for gravity
It's grabbing me back to the Earth

It don't matter if I'm late
Cause you'll wait.
