Uh, I wish we could just pretend to be
Like we always were before as happy as the Kennedys
No one told Jackie about Marilyn's tendencies
Ignorance is bliss when you're married half a century
I've been sitting on the charts like a beach chair
My last album spent 52 weeks there
Almost finished with the second, you should be scared
Storms coming you should go inside and prepare
No shortcuts there ain't no cheats there
I brought the whole city out like a street fair, yeah
If I had looked and ain’t found what I have found in me
I mean inside, would they love me? Never looked down on me?
They say, 'You know, if you loved her well then you would have stayed
You could have made a perfect pair that people wouldn't trade'
Trade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase it
Face it, I wasn’t born to live a life basic
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe, shaking
Falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I thought that I've been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
So close with you on my lips
Touch noses, feeling your breath
Push your heart and pull away
Be my summer in a winter day
I saw you on a Sunday in a café
And all you did was look my way
And my heart started to race
And my hands started to shake
Well I'm rather upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
I'm a rolling thunder, pouring rain
I'm coming on like a hurricane
My lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young, but you're gonna die
I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
All you women who want a man of the street
An' don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a-coming
And put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's going to make you burn
Home of the slanging on the curb
Weed cards every corner sell herb, what's a fly to a bird?
Nigga, I could pitch you a curb
Let this real shit occur, make mills from a verb
We're perfectly imperfect children
Rose from the dust, all of us are on a mission
Never gave a fuck, really came from rags to riches
Now we live it up, driving with the rooftop missin'
I problem solve with Styrofoam
My world revolves around a black hole
The same black hole that's in place of my soul
Empty, I feel so goddamn empty
I may go rogue
I just wanna make you feel okay
But all you do is look the other way
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
I just kinda wish you were gay
We go together
Better than birds of a feather, you and me
We change the weather
I'm feeling heat in December when you're 'round me
I've been dancing on top of cars and stumbling out of bars
I follow you through the dark, can't get enough
You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain
And, baby, you know it's obvious
I'm a sucker for you
You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly
I'm a sucker for you
Any road you take, you know that you'll find me
More and more, I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head up high
And it's all because you're by my side
If the heart is always searching
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true
Shaking her ass from the left to the right
Moving it round just the way that I like
I wanna see you move like a movie on flight
You got it how I want and I want it all night
She's my everything, like a morning girl
She's my angel, up above my world
She's the only one, who understands me
That's why I call her, my new family
I was wrong to let you walk right out of my life
I was dumb to think that I could survive
Was a fool to think the grass was greener on the other side
Now it hurts to know that it means that I...
I'll never love again
She told me put my heart in the bag
And nobody gets hurt
Now I'm running from her love, I'm not fast
So I'm making it worse
I still see your shadows in my room
Can't take back the love that I gave you
It's to the point where I love and I hate you
And I cannot change you, so I must replace you, oh
Easier said than done, I thought you were the one
Listenin' to my heart instead of my head
Feel like I be runnin' a race I'm not winnin'
Ran into the devil today, and she grinnin'
All girls are the same, they're rotting my brain
Think I need a change before I go insane
Make my own rules, I really don't pick, I just choose
I don't set picks, I just shoot
Chop and get screwed
I told her it's B.Y.O.B., that mean buy your own boobs
Ain't nothing like the feeling of uncertainty, the eeriness of silence
This time, it was so unexpected
Last time, it was the drugs he was lacing
All legends fall in the making
Told her if I die I'ma die young
Every day I've been gettin' fucked up
Finally know the difference between love and drugs
Shawty tell me I should really sober up
Drugs got me sweatin', but the room gettin' colder
Lookin' at the devil and the angel on my shoulder
Will I die tonight? I don't know, is it over?
Lookin' for my next high, I'm lookin' for closure
Shoot 'em down
With a .50 round
Run the town
Ballin' hard, you outta bounds
So much money, damn it
I forgot the count
Ay, look at my bank account
Look at the cash amount
Don't know when I met you but I met you
Don't know why I love you but I love you
It's something 'bout that dress, the way it fit you
I don't even wanna tell you to take it off but baby take it off
Look - now I know we coulda done it better
But we can't change the weather
When the weather's come and gone
Books don't make sense if ya read 'em backwards
You'll single out the wrong words
Like you mishear all my songs
My imagination's too creative
They see demon, I see angel, angel
Without the halo, wingless angel
Falling, falling, but I never thought you'd leave me
Falling, falling, needed something to believe in
I thought you were the one
But it was all in my head
Painted a picture, I thought I knew you well
I got a habit of seeing what isn't there
Caught in the moment, tangled up in your sheets
When you broke my heart, I said you only wanted half of me
I'd rather be alone tonight
You can say 'I love you' through the phone tonight
Really don’t wanna be in your arms tonight
I'll just use my covers to stay warm tonight
I'm in need of a savior, but I'm not asking for favors
My whole life, I've felt like a burden
I think too much, and I hate it
I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring
Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence
I'm so alone, nothing feels like home
I'm so alone, trying to find my way back home to you
Burn one, let's go do some
She got me stoned as Medusa
Zoned out with a blank stare
I'm lookin' into the future
Woke up and just felt right
Phone blown like a tailpipe
Today's schedule airtight
I turn a short day into a long night
I don't fuck with birds but you bitches on my cock though
If I want some chicken and waffles I go to Roscoe's
Cooler than the winter but I heat up like the summer
Fuckin' with my baby I'm a gunna
Now you all the way back up in the Bentley
I turn lemons into lemonade simply
Old boy and my brother tried to end me
I heard they looking for the old me
A couple of you niggas still owe me
You asked for the G.O.A.T. so they sent me
What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?
Bite my tongue, bide my time
Wearing a warning sign
Wait 'til the world is mine
Visions I vandalize
Cold in my kingdom size
Fell for these ocean eyes
I just hit a three peat
Fucked three hoes I met this week
I don't do no old hoes
My nigga, that's a no-no
You don't realise the power they have
Until they leave you and you want them back
No need to imagine 'cause I know it's true
They say 'All good boys go to heaven'
But bad boys bring Heaven to you
It's automatic, it's just what they do
Love's my religion, but he was my faith
Something so sacred, so hard to replace
Fallin' for him was like fallin' from grace
All wrapped in one, he was so many sins
Would have done anything, everything for him
And if you ask me, I would do it again
Now, it's like we're scared of getting good
'Cause we know the truth is that we could
Yeah, we know that we might actually work
And the truth is that we could
But maybe it's the worst in me
That's bringing out the worst in you
I know we can fix these kinks
But the worst in me doesn't want to work on things
t's electric how symmetric
We both get when you lay beside me
It's phonetic how our mouths grip
Almost too tight to the words we're sayin'
We're in deep now, should we slow down?
My mind's heavy and I can't sleep, not even a memory
Is good enough to get me through the night
I'm longin' for the real thing, people who know the real me
And all the ways to love me back to life
Oh, I try my best just to be social
I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel
Then I overthink about the things I’m missing
Now I'm wishing I was with 'em
