lyrics

"Once Upon a Time in… Philadelphia"

Livin’ like I don’t care
No one ever really cares
Livin’ like a fast train’s
How I run my lizard brain

There’s somethin’ in the way
Somethin’ in the way
She knows to slow me down

Livin’ well without her
Though I’ve been much better
Since she came around

Oooh, what more can I say?

Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever

Oooh, what more can I say?

There’s nothing more that I enjoy
Than when I’m sleepin’ with a white girl
I love the way her gentle hands
They go flowin’ through my dark curls

Now it’s late nights, Rittenhouse
Meetin’ up, gettin’ drunk
Uber back to my place
On the couch, hookin’ up

There’s nothing more that I enjoy
Than when I’m sleepin’ with a white girl

Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever
Flowers for Ava, she could be my forever

Oooh, what more can I say?
