Late 808

I’m ridin’ through New York (skrrt skrrt, bang bang)
Finna go and shoot New Jersey up (bang, bang, bang, bang)
Tryna take my chain, I ain’t goin’ (I ain’t goin, nigga)
We gon’ come and blow New Jersey up (bang, bang, bang)

I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

All my ex’s live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Do you love this shit?
Are you high right now?
Do you ever get nervous?
Are you single?

So much for being optimistic
They say love is in the air, so I
Hold my breath until my face turn purple
Keep a few bad bitches in my circle
My nuts hang like ain’t no curfew
Bitch, if you wave, then I will surf you
I flew jet, she flew commercial
But we still met later that night
After my session, she came over
I was aggressive and she was sober
I gave her a pill, she started confessing
And started undressing and ask me to hold her
And so I did, but that was last month
And now she’s texting me asking for closure
Damn, she say this shit gon’ catch up to me
I keep tissue paper
We eat each other whenever we at the dinner table
She say she hate that she love me
And she wish I was average
Shit, sometimes I wish the same
And I wish she wasn’t married
Promises, I hope I never break ’em
Met a female dragon, had a fire conversation
But, interviews are like confessions
Get the fuck up out my bedroom
Confusing me with questions like…

Whoa, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Black Betty had a child (bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone wild (bam-ba-lam)
She said “I’m worryin’ outta mind” (bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone blind (bam-ba-lam)
I said oh, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (bam-ba-lam)

Love and happiness
But wait a minute, something’s going wrong
Someone’s on the phone
Three o’clock in the morning, yeah
Talkin’ about, how she can make it right, yeah
Well, happiness is when
You really feel good about somebody
There’s nothing wrong
Being in love with someone
Yeah

Don’t you know we too grown up to be doing this shit right now?
Don’t you know we came too far to be losing our trust right now?

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn’t leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now, I don’t blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me “Sue.”

Well, he must o’ thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a’ lots of folk
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I’d get red
And some guy’d laugh and I’d bust his head
I tell ya, life ain’t easy for a boy named “Sue.”

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got hard and my wits got keen
I’d roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I’d search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name

You can get the biggest Chanel bag in the store if you want it
I gave ’em the drip, they sucked it up, I got ’em on it
I bought a new Patek, I had the watch, so I two-toned ’em
Takin’ these drugs, I’m gon’ be up until the mornin’
That ain’t your car, you just a leaser, you don’t own it
If I’m in the club, I got that fire when I’m performin’
The backend just came in, in all hundreds
Vibes galore, cute chicks, they all on us

Old ways, new women, gotta keep a balance

Money, it’s a crime
Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It’s no surprise that they’re giving none away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

Don’t you like me for me?

Is there any better feeling than coming clean?

And I know myself and I’ll never love anyone else

I won’t love anyone else

I’ll never love anyone else

I know it don’t seem difficult to hit you up
But you not passionate about half the shit that you into
And I ain’t havin’ it
And we both know that I don’t mean to offend you
I’m just focused today
And I don’t know why it’s difficult to admit that I miss you
And I don’t know why we argue, and I just hope that you listen
And if I hurt you I’m sorry, the music makes me dismissive
When I’m awake I’m just drifting, I’m not complaining
It’s just to say that I stay pretty busy, lately

Trying to do, what we know we must
When you love somebody, you know you got to trust
I think about it, again and again
I said that I will babe, oh but I don’t know if I can
You say you’re sorry, oh I say I am too
Then we turn right around
Then again we be untrue

Every day I spend my time
Drinkin’ wine, feelin’ fine
Waitin’ here to find the sign
That I can understand
Yes I am.
In the days between the hours
Ivory towers, bloody flowers
Push their heads in to the air
I don’t care if I ever know
There I go

The sky is crying
Can you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is crying
Can you see the tears roll down the street
I’ve been looking for my baby
And I’ve been wondering where can she be

I’m smokin on the gas like Citgo

Hello? (hello) (hello)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on (come on), now
I hear you’re feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

Can’t stop spacing, oh, no
Can’t stop spacing, on a daydream
Can’t stop spacing, and when I’m on the ground
My feet square on the ground
My head up in the clouds
Looking down, out of this town
You know I gotta try
My f….. brain’s on fire
Just gotta toke again, after that
Can’t stop spacing out, oh, no
Can’t stop spacing, on a daydream

Water water water water water water water water

Poppin’ Percocets to kill the pain, I can’t cope
Anger in my genes, they used to hang us up with ropes
Civil rights came so they flood the hood with coke
Breakin’ down my people, tryna kill our faith and hope
They killed Martin Luther King and all he did was spoke
Welcome to the hood, yeah where n….. dyin’ at
Same place where the best chicken gettin’ fried at
Same place where the police killin’, tellin’ lies at
It ain’t just the babies, man, I swear the mama’s cryin’ now

Say it ain’t so

I will not go

Turn the lights off

Carry me home

Deep sea dive

Got down but you stayed alive

It’s only you down there

You and the bends

And lose your mind

Lose track of breathing and time

It’s only you down there

Sleep with the tides

After party in the hills
She want Vodka and pills
She so numb she don’t feel
Always stay active, we stay in the field
Man, goddamn, it’s too real
Crazy, Amityville

Yeah, my boys on the block selling O’s, no Cheerios
I don’t wake up in the mornin’ for cereal

If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I’d put you in a mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Jackie, she is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess that she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said “Hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side”

Yeah, October Firm in the cut
Stay at the top like I’m stuck, that’s just how I’m giving it up
She wanna get married tonight, but I can’t take a knee ’cause I’m wearing all white
Me and my broski are twins but we don’t look alike

I can tell that you came with the Disney flow, ayy
Ain’t nobody ever heard about your Disney show, ayy
Got a bitch that remind me of my cereal
From Britain, when I see her, I’m like “cheerio”
Yeah, Alissa called asking me if we could win against Jake Paul (what)
I said, we Gucci like the shirts with the snakes on it
I just heard the song, Team 10, now I hate y’all
Logan, that will be your last hit like an 8 ball

Sleepin’ on the palette turned me to a savage
I’m a project baby, now I stay in Calabasas
Like I still serve fiends, like I’m still jackin’
I be sippin’ on lean, tryna keep balance
Hit that Z-Walk, Dickie’s with my Reeboks
I don’t say much, I just let the heat talk

I’ve felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wonder out where you can’t see
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed

I remember you and me
Back when we were seventeen
Drinking, kissing in the street
We couldn’t get enough
I see you layin’ there with me
Like my missing puzzle piece
Dreaming of what we could be
We couldn’t make you up

We had the songs that we sang along to
You had the moves to make me dance with you
I always saw you reaching and catching stars
We had the thing that everyone wanted
Hung on your sleeve, you wore your heart on it
Did you get out I’m wondering where you are?
(Did you follow your, follow your fire?)

Your sister thinks that I’m a freak
She’s been ignoring my calls, we haven’t spoken in a week
I get so drunk that I can’t speak
Yeah, nothing’s working and the future’s looking bleak and I say
Three beers and I’m so messed up, get drunk and I can’t shut up
She says that I drink too much
I fucked up and she hates my guts
She says that I need to grow up

Socks on concrete, Jolly Rancher kids
I was talkin’ back and now I gotta stay at grandma’s crib
Bunch of tank-top, nappy headed bike-stealin’ Chatham boys
None of my niggas ain’t had no dad
None of my niggas ain’t have no choice
