Late 808

They won’t take me out my element
Nah, take me out my element

Tonight might be the night
You might mess around and fall in love
And then I might be the guy
That’ll make you want to fall in love again
Girl, what’s your name? Happy that you came
I’m the man in this, stick with me, you can’t lose
Looking everywhere around the world, don’t you know, girl that
I’ll be looking for you

It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strong

Cold, cold heart
Hardened by you (oh)
Some things lookin’ better, baby
Just passin’ through (no, no, no, no, no)

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
And this is what I should have said
Well I thought it, but I kept it hid

These b…… love Sosa, O End or no end
F….. with them O boys, you gon’ get f….. over
‘Raris and Rovers, these h… love Chief Sosa
Hit him with that cobra, now that boy slumped over
They do it all for Sosa, you boys ain’t making no noise
Y’all know I’m a grown boy, your clique full of broke boys
God, y’all some broke boys, God, y’all some broke boys
We GBE dope boys, we got lots of dough, boy

It’s time to move righteous, I’m movin’ precisely
I looked at my schedule, no time for no wifey

I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so proud of you
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so proud of you
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so, I’m so proud of you
Everything’s adding up, you’ve been through hell and back
That’s why you’re bad as f… and you know you are

Summertime, city life, Chi-Town, my town, my town
After-school matters, like I’m needing that stipend right now
Kennicott parking lot, got caught with the blunt, like, wow-wow

Run, run, run
Mama say come home
Before the streetlights do
Ice cream on my front porch
In my new FUBU and my A1s, too
Watching my happy block
My whole neighborhood hit the Diddy bop

Babe, don’t make a sound
2:00 a.m. love gotta keep it down (keep it down)
Don’t wait around for a signal now
Gimme some verbs, I ain’t talking nouns (I’m naughty)
You wanna ride in the 6
You wanna dine in The Six (dine in The Six)
But when I lean for the kiss
You said I’ll probably send you some pics
And I’m likeHell nah, been waiting too long (I’ve been waiting)
Hell nah, I want that crew love (don’t leave, baby)
Hell nah, been waiting too long (I’ve been waiting)
Hell nah, I want that crew love

I been looking at the stars tonight
And I think oh, how I miss that bright sun
I’ll be a dreamer ’til the day I die
But they say oh, how the good die young
But we’re all strange
And maybe we don’t wanna change

Are you doin’ this work to facilitate growth or to become famous?
Which is more important?
Getting or letting go?

T-minus 90 seconds and counting
Sound suppression water system now being armed for release
We have three main engines ready for ignition
Space shuttle now on internal power
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fill and draining valves are closed
Saw the rocket booster flight data recorders are activated
30 seconds into the flight, Atlanta’s almost two miles in altitude
Almost six miles downrange from the Kennedy Space Center already, traveling 500 miles an hour
One minute thirty seconds into the flight, fifteen miles downrange, traveling almost 2000 miles an hour
Three good auxiliary power units, three good fuel cells, three good main engines
Ten seconds away from summit-rocket booster separation
Nine, eight, seven, six, five—three, two, one, zero

“At 5:49 a.m. EDT (9:49 UTC), the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur of NASA, Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency, and Akihiko Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency will join the station’s crew, for a mission of approximately six months. This will be the first launch through our Commercial Crew Program to fly two international partner astronauts, and the first reuse of a Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket for a crew mission.” -NASA

This is where the helicopters came to take me away
This is where the children used to play

Tell me something babe
Just tell me it was worth it
I know I didn’t deserve it
Didn’t deserve nothing
I needed loving babe
And you gave me a version
It wasn’t always perfect
But now it’s nothing

Riding ’round the city
With some brand new heat
Brand new car
Brand new feet
Brand new seats
Brand new smell
Put out the roach
Light a brand new L

I spent the whole night driving home
Just wishing you would call and tell me
To turn around like I ain’t done
With what I started, babe

Might buy the block, build it up like it’s Tetris

It’s bigger than black and white
It’s a problem with the whole way of life
It can’t change overnight
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon’ ‘head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I’ma make it count while I’m here
God is the only man I fear

Wood grain Nada, yes I’m the Baba
Don’t rock Prada, what’s a stylist
I’d rather make my clothes, merch by the boat load
Banana club popping, yep I’m super biased (true)

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it’s gone
It doesn’t matter what for
When you build your house
Then call me home

Dreams can come true for you
I know, I know

That I can make it

Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we’ve known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I’ll kneel down
Wait for now
And I’ll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Double back when you got it made
Thirty racks and weed, no fat in the collard greens

There’s no reason, there’s no rhyme
I found myself blindsided by
A feeling that I’ve never known
I’m dealing with it on my own
Phone is quiet, walls are bare
I drink myself to sleep, who cares?
No one even has to know
I’m dealing with it on my own

I’ve got way too much time to be this hurt
Somebody help, it’s getting worse
What do you do with a broken heart?
Once the light fades, everything is dark
Way too much whiskey in my blood
I feel my body giving up
Can I hold on for another night?
What do I do with all this time?

I went with you up to the place you grew up in
We spent a week in the cold
Just long enough to Walden it with you
Any longer, it would’ve got old
Singing “Ace of Spades” when Lemmy died
But nothing’s changed, L.A.’s alright
I’m sleeping in my bed again, and getting in my head
And then, walk around the reservoir

But I’ve got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money’s spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can’t tell what’s really there
And all I need’s a great big congratulations

You see (Do you see)
The melting of our days (Of our days)
In time (Is there time)
Nothing ever stays (Ever stays)

I let you go
You let me in
I want you
I let you go
You let me in
I want you

This is getting heavy, can you hear the bass boom? I’m ready (Woo-hoo)
Life is sweet as honey, yeah, this beat cha-ching like money, huh
Disco overload, I’m into that, I’m good to go
I’m diamond, you know I glow up
Hey, so let’s go

‘Cause I, I, I’m in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight (Hey)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I’ma light it up like dynamite, woah-oh-oh

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’?
