Got one bottle of wine in my yard
Shey you go come through and chill
I know that you don't stay far from me
Fine pass all of the girls wey dey the yard
And na you Wey I feel I hope that you feel the same for me
I see sey something dey ma mind and it's you
Your type is just so hard to find
Live by the gun, get bodied, or it's hella time in that cell
It was hella times where I failed
When I had to double back from them Ls
Bet he don't double back when he tell
'Cause it ain't no comin' back when you tell
Minimum wage, I remember them days
Digital clocks, see what it physically say
Now we sippin' this paint, uplifted through rank
I pull out 30K when I dip in the bank
Auntie lookin' for a vein, told me to mind my business
I look the other way because it's too horrific to vision
It's a rodeo, go on and touch your toes
I'ma hit you from the back and that's as far as it goes
I done knocked 'em all down like some dominoes
Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party
You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty
Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi
1942, I take you back in that 'Rari
You know how I live, so just cool out, baby
I was born up in the nineties, swag came from the eighties
I was sweatin', she on fire, we hot like it's Haiti
And you know I stay with bands on me like my name Katie
Baby, hit that back and burp
Then pour a four of purp'
You got his and hers
Toolie in that Birkin
I'm finna stand tall in it, I'm all in it
You be on my back like a cardigan
Call her again, I'm in love with your friend
We be doing dirt, you hide the evidence
Don't stick around, you should save yourself
But you can hit my phone if you need some help
You will respect me, you will reject me
But I've done so much, no matter how far you go, you will reflect me
Dear Lord, have mercy on my banana clips
Give 'em half, call it that banana splits
See that's how that Chi-Town made me
That's how my daddy raised me
That glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me
If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
And you better wear your shades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the stage
It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regrets
I can't take back the words I never said
They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They say that your darkest hour come before your dawn
But there was something that I shoulda asked all along
I'ma ask on the song
Do you ever think of me when you lie?
Do you ever think of me when you lie?
Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
And I knew better than to look in your eyes
They only pretend you would be mine
It's like I'm drowning at sea
Hoping that you reach for me
I know you're there, but I can't see
'Cause I'm so drunk off tragic endings
I got my hands on something great
And found a way to mess it up
I did my best, I tried to change
But it's just in my DNA
Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the upper crust
I really think the War on Terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip?
9/11, building 7, did they really pull it?
You could make me a believer
Even if that shit ain't true
You could make me commit murder
Baby, I'd kill for you
It seems like all our friends
Abruptly fell in love
And she was in the dust
Darling, life was streaming past
In the back room of the bar
In the backseat of my car
I'm the ending, she's the start
I'm sure that your heart's in the right place
I'm sure that you break more than I make
My mother says you're up your own arse
Like a stagehand at puppet show
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do
What lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat
Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk to the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
'Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn't even show
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
I reach for me but I'm not there
It's so lonely but who cares
It's fine, it's okay
I'll die anyway
I hate the way my brain is wired
Can't trust my mind, it's such a liar
Pretty face with pretty bad dreams
No one knows I cry in my sleep
Waking up feeling like shit
It's a normal thing to feel like this
I can't be your midnight love
When your silver is my gold
I can't be your second best
Close but not your favorite
I keep going back for more
Where there's nothing from before
I can't stop staring at my face
My summer tan has begun to fade
Is this real or is this fake?
A creepy dream I can't escape
You put your hands under my shirt
Undid my bra and said these words
"Darling, you're so pretty, it hurts"
Y'all say I've changed, really though? How so?
Got all this bread, I'm still sourdough (sour tho')
Motor mouthin', snitchin' should be against the law
.40 with dick and balls, but he ain't get it off
Oppositions zero'd in, and started gettin' off
The loss was significant when they picked 'em off
Not to mention, I learned
How to turn resentment and hurt to an unquenchable thirst
In the simplest terms, it's revenge of the nerd
In every sense of the word
And I waited so patiently
If you could take off, don't wait for me
No days off, grind faithfully
I keep thankin' God for savin' me
Been so many timеs God tested me
Thеy only see the answers I got right
You weren't with me on the cold block nights
Now you front row for the spotlight
Now the diamonds in the Audemars bright
Jets overseas for a far flight
Now you see me standin' in the lights
But you never saw my sacrifice
Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive
Had to lose it all to win the fight
You wanna touch my body, I say you're not allowed
You wanna handle me, but I'm a bit too much
So a lot of this pain isn't healin'
No escapin' it, this anger is spillin'
Almost like recreatin' the feelin'
Of 911 when the second plane hit the buildin'
Bam, bam, bam! Hit after hit though
Rocks in my wrist, so I call 'em the Flintstones
