Story

It was all a dream, we used to lay up on Landis Green
Winning the Rose Bowl Senior year of Spring
Hangin' posters on our walls
Every Saturday tailgating on the corner of West Call
I let my car run 'til my car stopped
Now In the A T L, that's when our love first popped
Way back, when we had long nights at Dirac
With late night chats
Remember Iowa?
You never thought that our story would make it this far
Now we’re in the spotlight 'cause we got it right
Time to get wed, pour it up like RiRi said
Born winners, the opposite of sinners
Remember when we used to eat Taco Bell for dinners
Peace to Air BnBs, from the Midwest to Cali
Diamond flex, at the art gallery
Getting married like you never thought we would
Back to New York, living life, living good
It's all good (It's all good)
And if you don't know, now you know, auntie
