Late 808

I was walking through icy streams
That took my breath away
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains

And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed

I keep it realer than real

Yo! What you thought, Pun’s shit was weak? Now you can’t sleep
Gotta keep your eyes open wide and hide your face from the streets
I’m like the beast with a warrant, far from a law man
Gave you fair warnin’, now you on the stairs, fallin’
I’m callin’ out any rapper that I doubt, smack him in the mouth
Throw him in the yoke—boom—then I knock him out

If you meet me by the pier, bring the peer, we can menage
Ooh, your girl friend Nicki gots the back I like to massage (Yeah)
I’ll be in the city with them actresses
The Nissan is down there in the bottom of the lake (Yeah)
I’ll make sure we have a good time, a good time (Around 10)
I’ll make sure it’s a good time, a good time for you (I said, Around 10)

Been observant
Focus, where the Purp is
Courteous, so I’m bout as high as the scratist
Ain’t getting caught in and a quarter to a verdict
Know enough words to act ignorant on purpose

No more parties in L.A.
Please, baby, no more parties in L.A., uh
No more parties in L.A.
Please, baby, no more parties in L.A., uh
No more (Los Angeles)
Please (shake that body, party that bod-)
Please (shake that body, party that bod-)
Please (shake that body, party that body)

Hey, baby, you forgot your Ray Bans
And my sheets still orange from your spray-tan
It was more than soft porn for the K-Man
She remember my Sprinter, said “I was in the grape van”

Want a lot, can’t have everything
Can’t have everything
Want a lot, can’t have everything but I want everything

They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart
They want to see us, want to see us alone
They want to see us, want to see us apart

And I, just want to feel you’re there
And I don’t want to have to share our love
I try, but I get overwhelmed
When you’re gone I have no one to tell
And I, just want to feel you’re there
And I don’t want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had

The streets got me thinking bout my man’s passing
Stashin, the lex with a passion, gotta make it happen
The block steamin’ and 12 K the cops schemin’
Security be on my back for wrong reason
I’m livin’ what I’m sayin’ on the block all day
Before I wasn’t sure, but now I know it’s the way
Like, if I get caught I’mma pay
Illegal life, livin’ trife, what can I say
Gettin bent, million dollar dream, Hennessee and Moët
While I’m chillin’ with my man on the wooden set, Front
I strike accurate you get wet
Whatever choice you select handle appropriately
Baby 9, murder my crime, you a fake
Lefrak shine, just wait
I need half outta that cake of regulate
Taken while you scheme and contemplate
Only results in the 360 action
But if it come back, then I’m pumpin double action
Blastin, tearin’ niggas physicals in
Try and contend, you gets no days with no wins
My clientele excel is like the devil’s spell
Drove me to the streets young
So now I know it well

I’m sure we’re taller in another dimension
You say we’re small and not worth the mention
You’re tired of movin’, your body’s achin’
We could vacay, there’s places to go
Clearly this isn’t all that there is
Can’t take what’s been given
But we’re so okay here, we’re doing fine
Primal and naked
You dream of walls that hold us in prison
It’s just a skull, least that’s what they call it
And we’re free to roam

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hitting your heart cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you’re missing y’all
Swinging while I’m singin’
Giving whatcha gettin’
Knowing what I knowin’
While the Black band’s sweating
And the rhythm rhymes rolling
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom of death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style someday
A dream maker (maker)
My heart (you heart) breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ that way (the same)

Two drifters off to see the world
There’s such a crazy world to see
We’re all chasin’ after all the same
Chasin’ after our ends

A little bit of Florida
A little bit of Georgia
And a whole lot of country in my soul

You see my roots are buried deep down in the south
And these boots don’t get muddy from sitting around
Out here in the holler we work hard for a dollar
From sun up to sun down
Well I ain’t been handed a thing from the man
And all that I own I got with my own hands
I work hard and play hard so don’t be alarmed
That’s just who I am

Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die
It takes a lot to change a man
Hell, it takes a lot to try
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways die

I wanna be the one who keeps you up at night
Cling to the memory of how I brushed your sides
‘Cause I’m just a puzzle piece trying to fit just right
So I could be someone who’s stuck inside your mind

Oh, it hurts the most ’cause I don’t know the cause
Maybe I shouldn’t have cried when you left and told me not to wait
Oh, it kills the most to say that I still care
Now I’m left tryna rewind the times you held and kissed me back
I wonder if you’re thinkin’ “Is she alright all alone?”
I wonder if you tried to call, but couldn’t find your phone
Have I ever crossed your thoughts because your name’s all over mine
A moment in time, don’t watch me cry
A moment in time, don’t watch me cry

Don’t kill a rose
Before it could bloom
Fly, baby, fly
Out the cocoon

So can I get a window seat?
Don’t want nobody, next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around, and a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat?
Don’t want nobody, next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry, and a long bye

Beep beep, who got the keys to the Jeep, vroom
I’m driving to the beach
Top down, loud sounds, see my peeps
Give them pounds, now look who it be

[instrumental]

I got the Grey Poupon, you been warned
‘Cause all beef return well done filet mignon

Hah
Pack in the mail, it’s gone (Uh)
She like how I smell, cologne (Yeah)
I just signed a deal, I’m on
Yeah, yeah
I go where I want, I’m good (Good)
Play if you want, let’s do it (Ha)
I’m a young CEO, Suge (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah

Dranking all this Act’, it got my vision real blurry (21)

Yeah, I couldn’t get a bill paid
You couldn’t buy the real thing
I was stayin’ up at yo’ place
Tryin’ to figure out the whole thing
I saw people doin’ things
Almost gave up on the music thing
But we all so spoiled now
More life, more everything
Must have never had your phone tapped
All that yappin’ on the phone shit
You must really love the road life
All that never comin’ home shit

If I told you I wanted to talk to you
You know, you think I’m tryna holla at you
And maybe I am but
You wouldn’t hear me out anyway’s would you?

Jamaica we need a way
Tell mi Mill
A how mi youth fi survive?
How mi fi send him go school in this time
If mi don’t make money?
Di politician come pon tv
A show we this big pretty smile
Nuttin’ nuh funny (nuh funny, nuh funny)

Real hot girl shit
Yeah, I’m in my bag, but I’m in his too
And that’s why every time you see me, I got some new shoes
Ah, mwah, ayy, look

Someone said they left together
I ran out the door to get her
She was holding hands with Trevor
Not the greatest feeling ever
Said, “Pull yourself together
You should try your luck with Heather”
Then I heard they slept together
Oh, the less I know the better
The less I know the better

Ass ass ass ass ass
Ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass
Ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass
Stop! Now make that mother****** hammer time like
Go stupid, go stupid, go stupid

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know that you’re always gonna stay the same
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don’t wanna know, oh (I don’t wanna know)
But I know that I’m never, ever gonna change
And you know you don’t want it any other way

Let it begin, let Adam in
Step one, original sin
Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve
Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree
Then it was over, roads divide
Step two, learning how to lie
Let me ask a question to present day
How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame?
All the damn blame

Way back on the radio dial
The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child
Every note just wrapped around his soul
From steel guitars to Memphis, all the way to rock and roll

Oh, I can hear ’em playin’
I can hear the ringin’ of a beat up ol’ guitar
Oh, I can hear ’em singin’
“Keep on dreamin’, even if it breaks your heart”

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home, mmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Scars and tattoos, got ’em head to toe
I was born to raise hell, ’til it’s time to go
Never feared another man, never ran from a problem
Then my daddy wasn’t there, momma didn’t raise a coward

I’ve been in a building sitting in a chair for an hour now
I’m out of it
Think I’ll get a drink
Then I finally play a beat I like
And dance uncontrollably
