Late 808

It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I’m happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it’s not easy
To be calm
When you’ve found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

So long my friend, my foe, my love, my pain
The road’s calling out my name
Dreaming of La Boheme
Maybe I’ll go to Barbizon
Or see a girl before she catches cold and she’s gone
Or maybe I’ll just travel on
Travel on

So long my flame, my warmth, my fear, my fight
The road’s calling again tonight
Dreaming under street lights
Maybe I’ll catch a train to Rome
See the world until I can’t go on
Then maybe I’ll come traveling home

Cause when the road takes it’s toll
And these cities come and go
Filled with people I don’t know
You’ll be in my heart
And I’ll dream of where you are tonight

And when the years pass us by
I wonder if we’ll cry
For losing so much time
For moments we may miss
For the love that still exists tonight

Well it’s all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it’s all right, if you live the life you please
Well it’s all right, doing the best you can
Well it’s all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring

I’m strummin’ on the corner
About to catch the last train home
I’ll have to jump the barriers
So can you spare a penny for my thoughts?
I’ve been praised upon the pavements
Passers by don’t pay much
Chased away by neighbors
Seen things you couldn’t make up

If the streets could talk, they’d tell a story or two
I’ll paint a picture for you
I can tell you what it feels like
To lose your home on a cold night
Can you see the blood in my red eyes?
Have another toke; we’ll forget life

Yeah, I bet your daddy’s so proud
Of how his little girl turned out
Think she dodged a bullet
Of a good old boy like me
‘Cause I still
Go drinkin’, same friends on Friday
Bought a few acres, couple roads off the highway
Guess you never saw things my way anyway

Yeah, gyal just came to the booth and asked for a wheel
She never heard drill in Atlanta
Arabic ting told me that I look like Youssef, look like Hamza
Habibti please, ana akeed, inti wa ana ahla

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

Straight out the blue, I got your attention (she love it, man)
Was it the coupe or the watch glistenin’?

I’ll never snitch on daddy (Never)
I’ll hold a brick for you, daddy (Ounce)

When everything is wrong, I’ll come talk to you
You make things alright when I’m feeling blue
You are such a blessing and I won’t be messing
With the one thing that brings light to all my darkness

You’re my best friend
And I love you (Love you)
And I love you (Love you)
Yes, I do

Blood rushing like when a Russian, is hugging a Kalashnikov bussin

Motor in the back with the trunk in the front
Smokin’ on gas, three-five in a blunt
Poppin’ them tags, it’s one of a one
I got them chopsticks, ain’t going to lunch
Came out the creek, had to drop off a ton
Made it off the streets, I came up from a crumb
Two thousand just for the shoes I put on
Spin out and do a three-sixty for nothin’ (Skrrt)
Freestylin’ while I got kush in my lung
Crocodile Burberry, that’s what I’m on (Brrt, brrt)
Packed out the club, that’s a quarter million (Brrt, brrt)
High-priced fashion, Italian, Milan (Fashion)
If she get attached, then I’m goin’ on the run (She get attached)
Took the big batch and I can’t feel my tongue (Took the big batch)
Hundreds of baddies, it’s hard to choose one (808 Mafia)
Green light the shooters, it’s already done (Brrt, brrt, brrt)

Oh, let’s get rich and buy our parents
Homes in the South of France
Let’s get rich and give everybody nice sweaters
And teach them how to dance
Let’s get rich and build our house on a mountain
Making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Dope boy Dickies and diamonds and Timbs
You shouldn’t play with that boy, he is not one of them

pendulum swinging slow a degenerate moving

I’m so far out of sight
Yeah that sounds about right
Sounds about right
Kill this cup, not my vibe
Be the highlight of my night
Look alive, look alive
We can start with something light
Look alive
I can get you so right
I just need an invite

I don’t cop things for resale, don’t do iCloud, don’t do email

Alright well, um, alright. We… we’ll f…..’ figure it out. You know what you—you know what you’re doin’ with it, you know, makin’ it to the top. All the way to the top. Yeah, you do it for the money, and not the honey, you know what I’m sayin’? You know what I’m sayin’?

Wise words from a decent man
Back when I was trying to put a ring on Alisha hand
This lost boy got fly without Peter Pan
And my delivery just got me buzzin’ like the pizza man

Close your eyes, shut your mouth
Dream a dream and get us out
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream

Hit the hay, fast asleep
Dream a dream, you little bleep
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream

So let ‘em say what they gonna say
They gonna feel how they gonna feel
But I love it
I love it, baby
Hey, you should too

Don’t pay them no mind

And I know my son’s gon’ be aight, we all gon’ be aight
‘Cause I came ’bout my business

I’m in between
Friday night wild
And quiet Sunday morning
Between
Done after one
And keep on pouring
Ain’t too high
Ain’t too low
Just holding down the middle
I’m steady as I go
I ain’t all holy water
And I ain’t all Jim Beam
I’m somewhere in between

Gainin’ weight, I need a large

Take the jet to New York like I’m Jigga (Yoom)

Don’t go there ’cause you’ll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don’t make sense when you’re trying hard
To do the right thing, but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don’t know how you could ever complain
Because you’re all confused ’cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you

Ooh, all of your dreams
Will wash away
Ooh, all of your dreams
Will wash away

Disintegrate
Under the light of fate
Selfless, sublime
All things dissolve in time

We’re in the homestretch of the hard times
We took a hard left, but we’re alright
Yeah, life sure can try to put love through it, but
We built this right, so nothing’s ever gonna move it

When the bones are good, the rest don’t matter
Yeah, the paint could peel, the glass could shatter
Let it rain ’cause you and I remain the same
When there ain’t a crack in the foundation
Baby, I know any storm we’re facing
Will blow right over while we stay put
The house don’t fall when the bones are good

My name is evil Bat and I’m a rebel and a soldier

Okay, okay

You just need some, you just need some
Late night attention, uncondition

Y yo no me complico (Eh), ¿cómo te explico (Eh)
Que a mí me gusta pasarla rico? (Eh, eh)
¿Cómo te explico? (Wuh) No me complico (Ah)
A mí me gusta pasarla rico (Yah)

She’s alright
I’m alright
We’re alright
We can’t go back

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone

Ayo, I’m serious, I’m not the type to joke a lot
Dressed in all black, never seen in polka dots
No other write rhymes like these
I’m cool as a light breeze, I’m playin’ rappers out like striped Lees

All I ever wanted was to turn these Gs into Ms and a Mercedes key
Got it and I still felt incomplete
That’s when I realized this shit was bigger than me
