La-da-da-dee, da-da, da-da
La-da-da-dee, da-da, da-da

La-da-dee-da, da-da, da-da
Be my lover
Wanna be my lover
Wanna be my lover
Wanna be my lover (Lover)
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
Matter of time before I go net a Bey like apiarist
Like, “Honey, you gotta know that I never wore Mike Amiris or never hopped in a Urus”
I got my head in the clouds, I’m serious
We havin’ motion
So this is a romance, baby
‘Cos I care about you
So this a romance, baby
‘Cos I am lost without…
Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness and rejoice, for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears, let your heart beat freely at the sign that a new time is born
She had an attitude in the summer
But she bein’ nice again
This life we livin’ (Life as we live it)
See, it’s oh so beautiful (Oh, it’s so beautiful)
Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it’s so beautiful)
This life we livin’ (Life as we live it)
See, it’s oh so beautiful (Oh, it’s so beautiful)
Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it’s so beautiful)
Country roads take me home
To the place I belong
West Jamaica, my ol’ momma
Take me home country roads
Turn my back to the wall
You can’t get me here
The room is sharp
I won’t be your shield
There’s holes in your heart
I can’t be your fill
Not no more, no more
It’s the same shit, the rock, a pocket full of knots
The pills, the blow, the ‘yac, the top
The drop, then swerve, then pass the props
The safe, the stash, then pad the lock
The man, the myth, the legend, the great
The plan, get money ’til I’m dead
Perfectin’ my lil’ trap, they know me down in Chatt’
Out in Memphis and Japan, I’m runnin’ out of land
I feel like I could fly, just made two-hunnid bands
Just livin’ how I live, I made this in my crib
Just focused on my meals, my plate, estates
My grass, my fam’, the path, the math, the yams
‘Cause I got too much ego and pride (When I’m with you)
When I’m with you, girl, it just feels right, yeah (What do I do?)
What do I do to keep you for life? Yeah (‘Cause I’m way too caught)
I’m way too caught up in all you
And I cannot deny it any longer
A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
I plan to buy your most personal belongings when they up for auction
Man, truth be told, I think about it often
The petty king, the overseer of many things
I wish that I was playin’ in a sport where we were gettin’ rings
I wouldn’t have space on either hand for anything
West Hollywood, know my presence is menacing
Cosa Nostra, shady dealings
I woke up this mornin’
And heard the TV sayin’ somethin’
About disaster in the world and
It made me wonder where I’m goin’
There’s so much darkness in the world
But I see beauty left in you, girl
And what you give me lets me know that I’ll be alright
‘Cause if your love was all I had
In this life
Well, that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
‘Cause I’m gonna love you, girl
Until the end of time
I know she got it Cause she lookin at me like she want it (Want It)
She Drop it low, Make me wanna throw Some d’s on it (Hey)
Whatever it is you can’t stop it, cause she get lowww
When she on that pole, and that lets me know
She got it X 10
(psst) Whoa, She Got it,Shawty, She gottt ittt
Used to have stage fright
But it’s an incredible feelin’ to face all your fears
Tell me what’s the issuе, mama
And tell me what’s with all the tеars
Know you’re sad and you’re down and out
Oh, mama, can you tell me what’s with all the problems?
Leave me in the dark
That’s where I belong right now
Don’t know where to start
Still figuring it all out
Let it rain, let it pour
Let it seep through the floor
Til I come from underground
Lead me in the dark
I’m trustin’ nothin’ I’m told, honestly
I’m trustin’ half what I’m shown
I don’t pop out, but it’s each to they own
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
If my emotions are showin’, it’s only because I’m ahead of what they got goin’
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
