H.E.R. Ft. Bryson Tiller – Could’ve Been
It could’ve been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think ’bout you when I’m alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared is almost gone
And I know that I can’t get caught up
A new photo and hip-hop lyric, everyday. All photos taken by Karlyle. Enjoy!
It could’ve been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think ’bout you when I’m alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared is almost gone
And I know that I can’t get caught up
Uh, and ain’t this beat tight?
My chains say hello, my watch say goodbye
And I still look right, this is the good life
This Gucci bandana it just make me look tight
Everything not perfect but at least I’m free (Least I’m free)
I don’t take it as an L, just wasn’t for me (Wasn’t for me)
Woke up lookin’ for the broccoli
High-key, keep a horn on me, that Kamasi
IP, ownership, the blueprint is by me
Mr. Get Off, I get off and mop feet
This is dog for life, somethin’ you don’t know about
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burnin’ out his fuse up here alone
Back into my old ways again (Ways again)
Back into my old ways again
Back into my old ways again (Ways again)
Only God can
Hold me, love me, fill me
Only God can hold me, love me, fill me
Only God can hold me, love me (Mmm)
Only God can
Only God can
‘Cause there we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red ’cause you were lookin’ over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well
She blossoms, she rides the sun
Moments coming from the age of the one
Who is open to receive
It’s the magic that we need
Low-key, minding her business
From the other side, she is a witness
Ooh, she is the magic of the sun
Ooh, oh, oh, all I really think of is you
Ooh, oh, oh, all my night dreams are blue
Ooh, oh, oh, don’t know how I got with you
Ooh, oh, oh
Badu says, “Friends, fans, and artists must meet
Which one are you? Which one are me?”
Go on, break a leg, leave it all on the stage
If your life fall apart, leave it all on a page
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away
Old school, new school, need to learn though
I burn baby burn like disco inferno
Yeah, yeah
He wanna hang with a bad bitch, he wanna hang with a bad bitch (Ayy, yeah)
He wanna hang with a bad bitch, he wanna hang with a bad bitch (Ayy, yeah)
He wanna hang with a bad bitch, he wanna hang with a bad bitch (It’s Sexyy)
Times and places
Are all in who you share ’em with
And it’s life, and the point is
Enjoyin’ who you share it with
Joy is who you share it with
Popped out of a old school with a hunnind in my engine
Shout out to her ex, he a crash out
Took too many pills, he a crash out
She in Hidden Hills in a glass house
I like what I saw and so I cashed out
Back on your sofa
Of course I still care
Love’s never wasted when it’s shared, mm
And although it’s over
I’ll always be there
Only have a couple minutes, guess we’re going back to real life
I won’t look back for a little while, for a little while
The highway’s clear way out here, it’s kind of wild
The radio is playing low and I’m so tired
No goin’ back in the homestretch
I could almost smile
You can go your own way, go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way, go your own way
Tell me you got something to give, I want it
I kinda like it when you call me “Wonderful”
Whatever the type of talk it is, come on then
I gotta know you’re meant to be the man I need
Talk to me, talk to me
I just keep ringin’, I’ma be ringin’ your line once again
I can see the influence that I’m doin
Don’t say you’re down
You gotta stand up to fight
Got to stand up
Got to stand up
Did you really beam me up
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on?
Tell me I was the chosen one
Showed me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
All mine, all mine, yeah
All mine, all mine, all mine, yeah (it’s alright)
All mine, all mine, yeah (you know how it feels, you know how it feels)
All mine, all mine, all mine, yeah (it’s alright)
All mine, all mine, yeah (you know how it feels)
All mine, all mine, all mine, yeah (it’s alright)
All mine, all mine, yeah (to be mine, you’re mine)
All mine, all mine, all mine (it’s alright)
Baby, let’s keep it real
For a time, never apart
We were eating, drinking, and whispering prayers as we fell asleep
Those days feel so distant now
Was it all worth it?
I guess we’ll never know
Was it all worth it?
Would you say the same?
He said it’s on my way
Well, I had a feeling I knew exactly what you’d say
He’s on my way
Well, I had a feeling I knew exactly what you’d say
Always feels brand new
There ain’t nothin’ better now
Name me something better now
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, (Yeah) yeah
Your head will collapse, if there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
(Where is my mind?)
Way out in the water, see it swimmin’
From the way it looks, yeah, I guess I’m good at giving bad advice
But it’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
It’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ‘n’ roll
There is a road that leads to home
In stories never told
Not sure what’s really left to be said
It’s simple
