Testify to Vinny Testaverde,
I was brought in on the Air Train I'll be brought out on a gurney,
Graduated to find out I'm not up to the task,
I started on an impulse just to end up at an impasse,
Turned lemons into less than lemonade,
Remember the friendships, forget about the grades,
I barely went to any football games,
Went from vibrant late night dinners to doing makeup on the train.
It's Rainy in New York, and I don't care
Its Hectic in LA, but I'll be out there
I'm moving there
I'm moving, moving anywhere
Taking time to work on myself,
Working out ain't as fun without Curtis Hixon,
See Curt he moved it down South,
Heard he's writing a book about the corruptive states,
Funny that's the way that I've been feeling,
Ever since we all left that dignified place,
There ain't no evergreens in F-L-A,
But the sun can be productive, at least more than me,
Maybe I need this time to be bored,
By the time that I am ready, I won't be dead as a door,
Everyone's moved on to bigger things,
But the biggest thing I got from this is what they gave to me.
It’s Rainy in New York
I really don't care
Theres traffic in LA
But I'll be there, but I'll be out there
I'm moving there, anywhere
It's Rainy in New York, moving anywhere
I don't care
It's Rainy in New York, it's traffic in LA
Theres traffic in LA
I'll be out there
I'm moving there, I don't care, Rainy in New York
I'll be moving there
I'll move anywhere
Moving anywhere
Hectic in LA, anywhere, Rainy in New York
I'll move anywhere
Stomping in Shreveport
