  • Ay, pitch black Chevy antique, I was seventeen
    I ain't have nothing but some tees and a pair of jeans
    Pine trees, but it smell like weed in the front seat
    You was en route to being famous and everything
    White keys 'cause she's way too major for everything
    I wanna be a part of it, what you got going on
    Isn't as sad as you make it out to be?
    I wanna be mad, but you take it out of me
    1995, teens in the Florida breeze
    Ice cream, shit was so sweet before everything
    Tight squeeze, tryna fit me into everyday
    But you never came

    The world is movin', we were never meant to stay
    But I was working on the world
    I guess I thought that if I gave you what I had
    I guess I thought that it would work

    I never knew (oh)
    It was because of you (oh, oh, oh, ooh)
    I never knew (oh, oh, oh, ooh)
    Oh, I guess I never- (knew, whoa)

    Ay, rich ass, tryna fit my Gs in these Prada jeans
    Mismatchin' with my Celines, king of everything
    Fifth stack comin' in this week, I bought everything
    Dispatchin' with dollar G's, pulled up, ripped the scene
    White keys 'cause she's way too major for everything
    Kids want distance, somewhat
    Then I feel my heart inside my back
    I made a point to be intact
    And you don't even keep it wholesome with me
    You were singin' no songs with me

    The world is movin', we were never meant to stay
    But I was workin' on the world
    I guess I thought that if I gave you what I had
    I guess I thought that it would work

    I never knew (oh)
    It was because of you (oh, oh, oh, ooh)
    I never knew (oh, oh, oh, ooh)
    Oh, I guess I never- (knew, whoa) Writer/s: Dominic Fike, John Cunningham
