Late 808

I’ve been livin’ my life limbo, my ice, it came with a tray
I’m so high, I gotta hide my face, this not a rockstar phase
I’m a emo thug in my phase

Down the block, there’s an antique shop
And something in my head said, “Stop,” so I walked in
On the counter was a cardboard box
And the sign said, “Photos: twenty-five cents each”
Black and white, saw a 30s bride
And school lovers laughin’ on the porch of their first house
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
The kind you don’t put down

I wanna spend my nights with you
My life with you, oh baby, babe
Please wait up for me ’til whenever I get home
I know that you’re all alone
Thinking ’bout what you’re gon’ do
I hope that you see it through, ooh, ooh

And oh, you’re gonna love me
You’re gonna wanna hug me and squeeze me

Think I wrote you your new favorite song
Would you pan it, or would you sing along?
It’s more than likely that I’ll never know
But I’ll still look out for you at the show

Life is real, you might come up or you might get killed
I’m with my folk, oldheads always with the smoke, Cypress Hill
Thirty in a box, was tightly sealed, they heard you like to steal
A few connects done threw some checks on you, you caught a Nike deal

It’s twenty seconds ’til the last call
You’re going, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey”
Lie down, you know it’s easy
Like we did it all the summer long
And I’ll be anything you ask and more
Going, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey”
It’s not a miracle we needed
And no, I wouldn’t let you think so
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

And I’ll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind
And I’ll use you as a focal point
So I don’t lose sight of what I want

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far
Oh-a-a-a-oh
Oh-a-a-a-oh

Can you feel it in the air, in the air?
Can you feel it, it’s everywhere
Can you feel it in the air, in the air?
Can you feel it, it’s everywhere

I want to dissolve
Through plaster walls
I want to float
Over the bridge
Head toward the lights
The ones I know
Was certain I
Was losing it

They say, “The holy water’s watered down
And this town’s lost its faith
Our colors will fade eventually”
So if our time is runnin’ out
Day after day
We’ll make the mundane our masterpiece

A universal cheat code to unlock your funky self
A simple bass notation beneficial to your health
I have traveled far and wide to find this prophecy
So humankind and every mind could feel this three on E

Hold me real close
I shut my eyes and dream
That you really are the end for me
I hope we see beyond our dreams

Hear it in your tone
You’re slowly letting go
Are you turning off your phone? (Ooh)
Feelings turn cold

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can’t please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

You can spend your time alone redigestin’ past regrets or
Or you can come to terms and realize you’re the only one who can’t forgive yourself, oh-ooh
Makes much more sense
To live in the present tense

I wake up and go get that cake, I ain’t the type relax

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, “Son, when you grow up, would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?”

The lie is my expense
The scope of my desire
The party blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire

Crazy
I like that, you like that, so let’s be crazy
The contact, impact, I want that daily
Our breath getting deeper, deeper, lately
I like that, baby

You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

It’s almost like you love me, I can tell
I’m catching up to what you know

Sending you forget me nots
To help you to remember
Baby, please forget me not
I want you to remember

I know what I came to do
And that ain’t gonna change
So go ahead and talk your talk
‘Cause I won’t take the bait

Tell me who gon’ stop me? I come from love

I’ma tell you want I want
I don’t need me a reason
Cut the check or I’m leaving
A flight in the morning, a flight in the evening
Pay ’em no time, I ain’t got no time
Paid my dues, I don’t pay no mind
Play with you, I don’t think that’s wise
I’m already too fly

I’m single again, back on the prowl

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Oh, oh yeah
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can’t tell if I’m a kingpin or a pauper

Need to get myself together, I’m a mess (straight up)

Na we be the pride of Benin, Ọba sef suppose give us medal oh, give medal oh

I count my time in dog years
Swimming in sevens
Slow dancing in seconds

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment’s gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

It’s the simple things, it’s the energy
You don’t need a lesson, you’ve become the blessing given to me

Before you roll those dice
Baby think twice
