Late 808

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

Got them all going
Sheesh, sheesh
Sheesh, sheesh, sheesh, yeah
B-A-B-Y-M-O-N
Sheesh, sheesh
Sheesh, sheesh, sheesh, yeah
Got them all going

Take it home on your camera phone

ICE – cause I lack all emotions, I’m heartless
That’s why I can’t figure for the life of me
You’d want to start this
My crew is bottomless
Street Lobotomists

Take it back and take a look at yourself
Take the lesson, put it all in the air

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain

And I just can’t contain
This feeling that remains

Car alarm won’t let you back to sleep
You’re kept awake dreaming someone else’s dream
Coffee is cold, but it’ll get you through
Compromise, that’s nothing new to you
Let’s see colours that have never been seen
Let’s go to places no one else has been

Put that on my kids’ children, we gon’ see the future first

If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can’t you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me

Why couldn’t you have stayed calm for once
Instead of flying off the handle?
I hope you’re happy

I hope you’re happy now
I hope you’re happy how you’ve hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you’re clever

Lights, camera, action, ya’ dig?

This ain’t cheddar, this quiche

I’m just a girl
I’m just a girl in the world

Twice emotional stability
Of sound body and tranquility
I deserve it all
Like minds and less enemies
Stock investments, more entities
I deserve it all
VVSs, white diamonds
GNX with the seat back, reclinin’, b….
I deserve it all
Put my homes on the beachfront
Flyin’ private, what you eat for lunch?
I deserve it all
The respect and the accolades
Lampin’ on the island, watchin’ Cast Away
I deserve it all
For еvery good n…. that passed away
Sent two-point-fivе million on an average day
I deserve it all
Keep my name by the world leaders
Keep my crowds loud inside Ibiza
I deserve it all
More money, more power, more freedom
Everything Heaven allowed us, bitch
I deserve it all

I can’t even lie, yeah the streets ain’t been the same lately, yeah

Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniеl’s got a history
There’s a party downtown near 5th Street
Evеrybody at the bar gettin’ tipsy

Now your eyes are watching God
But baby, my eyes are hidden in the hills

Can’t do for dolo, had to turn away when Tony killed Manolo
That’s real, mixed feelings like a mulatto
Thug thought he was O.G. Bobby Johnson
I played him like Benny Blanco
Mano a mano, you ain’t ready
