Late 808

If it wasn’t for Wayne, it wouldn’t be
A lot of dudes in the game, including me

I’ve been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I’ve got to do what I must do to be a better man
Cause if I was just to act a fool do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed my world would crumble in
It’s a joy when I sit down and think of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through when the good turns to the bad
Well I hope you find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please don’t fuss because I must go do what I must do

Two-thirty, baby, won’t you meet me by The Bean?
Too early, maybe later you can show me things
You know what it is, whenever I visit
Windy city, she blowin’ me kisses, no
Thirty degrees, way too cold, so hold me tight
Will I see you at the show tonight?
Will I see you at the show tonight?

California is for gangstas
California is for gangstas, California
California is for gangstas
California is for gangstas
California is for gangstas, California

Everyday lit and them commas be movin’
This shit we be doin’ inside of a movie

I be speeding, could’ve been a driver the way I push the whip

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
Cause then you really might know what it’s like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like)
Then you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like)
Then you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like)
Then you really might know what it’s like (what it’s like)

I never realized I was spread too thin
‘Til it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and livin’ in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin?

Tryna refine this shit, I redefined myself
First I had to find it

Take a piece of my love, we’ve been through enough stuff

Hey, I know I’ve been a little bit off and that’s my mistake
I kind of fell half in love and you’re to blame
I guess I just forgot that we’ve been mates since day
Yeah, I don’t know what to say
Hey, I know I’ve been a little bit off and that’s my mistake
I kind of fell half in love and you’re to blame
I guess I just forgot that we’ve been mates since day
Yeah, I don’t know what to say

It’s the end of the world as we know it
(It’s the)
It’s the end of the world as we know it
(It’s the)
It’s the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

For you and me, I’ll be tryin’ always
Don’t let it get to you for now
I know I’m runnin’ this time I’ll try
Don’t you tell and you just eyes closed

I know I treat you right
I know I did you wrong
I know I did you wrong
I know I treat you right

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing ’bout everything, I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old
Soon we’ll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
We’ve traveled around the world and we’re still roaming
Soon we’ll be 30 years old

We’re both so far gone (Gone)
Can’t tell right from
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) wrong
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) believe me, oh
(Wrong) Wrong, (Wrong) wrong
(Wrong) Wrong, I’ll do me and you do you

I stack chips, you barely got a half-eaten Cheeto

Yo, however do u want, however do you need P
My Mobb bring it back to life, back to reality
You walk a fine line playin wit mine, the greatest story ever told in rhyme
We climax in ninety-five, wit demo raw raps is knives
To skin all ya’ll cats alive
Take your time don’t rush the clock, Infamous rock for good now
Pass like my duns on lock holdin the pot down slow
But assuringly, spoon-feeding these
Starvin ass heads catchin shakes, feenishly
I ball in this, word assortin this, probably recording this
Of course kids keepin they sights upon this
Exclusiveness, like some new type of kicks
We got them things fixed, passed the wrong man in my click
You get charged wit intent to kick that bullshhh
Welcome to the ledge of this whole shhh

Yo, we the men for the operation
You know the M-O, B-B’s, warrior style, rare species
Catch us on your block , on your wide-screen tv’s
From Jones Beach to over-seas from over there
It’s right back to the beats, longevity so all the great-grandseeds eat

Ayo, just last week I told ’em they run done
My legacy could never be undone
I’m a prodigy, R.I.P Thun-Thun

I wish the couple on the corner would just get a room
Seems like everyone around me’s on their honeymoon
I’d love to take a pin to a heart-shaped balloon
Everybody’s got somebody but me

And I will do it for you, for you
Baby, I’m not moving on
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I’ll love you long after you’re gone
And long after you’re gone, gone, gone

Elevate, elevate
Only obligation is to tell it straight
Me and all the guys found a better way
This a life bid we can never separate
I’m in bed awake, thinkin’ how’d I make
All this happen for myself and my family
All this happen for myself and my family
There’s no way that this is real, man, it can’t be

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that’s where I am
Silent in the trees
Why won’t you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly

When Mama said that it was okay
Mama said that it was quite alright
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
And it was okay
Mama told us we were good kids
And Daddy told us never listen to the ones
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
‘Cause we were good kids

She’s not your lover
She’s not your friend
Not like the others
She won’t pretend

15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

I don’t want to bother you
And there is no reason to rush

Take it all down, they gon’ feel it on the day
Take it all home and they feel it all the way

Trying to find the meaning of life in a Corona

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

I can’t understand what people are sayin’
어느 장단에 맞춰야 될지
한 발자국 떼면 한 발자국 커지는 shadow
잠에서 눈을 뜬 여긴 또 어디
어쩜 서울 또 New York or Paris
일어나니 휘청이는 몸

Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the slide
Whatever comes, comes through clear
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the side
And whatever comes, comes through clear (Uh)

A mother’s love is forever
A mother’s love is for free
It doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad
She’s there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me

No role models and I’m here right now
No role models to speak of
Searchin’ through my memory, my memory, I couldn’t find one

She’s up all night to the sun, I’m up all night to get some
She’s up all night for good fun, I’m up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to the sun, we’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun, we’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky, we’re up all night to get lucky
We’re up all night to get lucky, we’re up all night to get lucky
