Late 808

I make money when I talk

Back when ratchet was a ratchet and a vixen was a vixen

And Jam Master Jay was alive I was mixin’

Cookin’ coke in the kitchen

Back when Rodman was a Piston

Mike was losin’ to Isiah, but he soon would get his sixth one

Gave birth to my verbal imagination

Assume a virtue if you have not

Or better yet here’s a verse from Hamlet

“Lord, we know who we are

Yet we know not what we may be”

So maybe I’m the one or maybe I’m crazy

I’m from Marcy Houses, where the boys die by the thousand

Back when Pam was on Martin

Yeah, that’s where it all started

Didn’t you know, I was waiting on you

Waiting on a dream that’ll never come true

Didn’t you know, I was waiting on you

My face turned to stone when I heard the news

When you decide to break the rules

Cause I just heard some real bad news

Ooh, baby, what you wishin’ for?

Maybe you should wish it more

Maybe the world is yours

Maybe when it rains, it pours

I don’t know how to wish anymore

I don’t know how to wish anymore

Or do I?

Yo, when you’re rolling to the Carnival, anything can happen

What, what, say what, say what, anything can happen

Making love to your girlfriend, anything can happen

What? Say what, say what, anything can happen

If you my dog I gotta ride with you

I got you dog on whatever the issue

Carry on my wayward son

For there’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

I really like what you’ve done to me

I can’t really explain it, I’m so into you

I really like what you’ve done to me

I can’t really explain it, I’m so into you

Look, holla at me when you multi-million

I told you keep playin’ with my name

And I’ma let it ring on you like Virginia Williams

I’m too resilient, get out your feelings

It’s gonna be a cruel summer for you

I told Weezy and Baby, “I’ma done him for you.”

Tell ‘Ye we got a invoice comin’ to you

Considerin’ that we just sold another 20 for you

I never knew anybody ’til I knew you

I never knew anybody ’til I knew you

And I know when it rains, oh, it pours

And I know I was born to be yours

Are you the only one

Lost in the millions?

Or are you my grain of sand

That’s blowing in the wind?

If there’s food for thought then I’m guilty of greed

Mama said take what you want – I took heed

I wish I knew you when I was young

We could’ve got so high

Now we’re here it’s been so long

Two strangers in the bright lights

Oh, I hope you don’t mind

We can share my mood

Two strangers in the bright lights

I wish I knew you

I wish I knew you

Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young

Well, we were just another band out of Boston

On the road to try to make ends meet

Playin’ all the bars, sleepin’ in our cars

And we practiced right on out in the street

No, we didn’t have much money

We barely made enough to survive

But when we got up on stage and got ready to play

People came alive

Rock and roll band, everybody’s waitin’

Gettin’ crazy, anticipating love and music

Play, play, play

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We don’t really care about the trends you like to follow

You know what they say, they here today and gone tomorrow

Oooh

Oooh

If I’m in the mood I get as ratchet as I wanna

Turn around and show you, I could bless you with some culture

Oooh

Oooh

Workin’ ain’t no nine to five

California that’s a vibe

Friends, that’s always down to ride

You know, you know that’s the life

We just wanna have some fun

It’s some love for everyone

Pass it ’round when you get done

That’s the move yeah that’s the one

Bobby, tell me who really ’bout it

Bitch, I doubt it, not a single person work harder than Bobby

Just wrote a novel, starrin’ in a movie

Built another business while you at the party

Ain’t one to flex, but yeah I’m finna flex

I just parked that new i8 right next to the Audi

Copped that G-Wagon right there for my shawty

Yeah, now they know the name, yeah, they know Bobby

Shown to the place you fold
There’s nothing to be without it

Turned to the debt you owe
There’s no way to move around it

So much for feeling grounded

Do you realize

That you have the most beautiful face?

Do you realize

We’re floating in space?

Do you realize

That happiness makes you cry?

Do you realize

That everyone you know someday will die?

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know

You realize that life goes fast

It’s hard to make the good things last

You realize the sun doesn’t go down

It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning ’round

Turn off the light, she said

I’m going to bed

I don’t wanna talk right now

I’m turning my head

If we could go back to where we first started

I would go right now

Remember the days before this all started

It’s got me thinking how

I don’t worry ’bout my student loans

Future talk

I gotta worry ’bout where I call home

Future talk

The future’s pressing under to pair me with a lover

Even though I’m not the only man that’s scared to be alone

She say she like my car and she like how my forgis ride

I did things that most men will ask forgiveness

Broke the code, the commandments from my descendants

Worthy of every song we could ever sing

Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring

Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe

We live for You

What a good life we’re living

I wanna go to London, Tokyo, Paris, LA

New York, Chi-town, Sydney, Spain

London, Tokyo, Paris, LA

New York, Chi-town, Sydney, Spain!

I’m taking out this time

To give you a piece of my mind

Who do you think you are?

Maybe one day you’ll be a star

But until then, baby, I’m the one who’s crazy

‘Cause that’s the way you make me feel

I don’t want no romance

I just want the chance to show you that I’m for real

Welcome to the United Snakes

Land of the thief, home of the slave

The grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred, and power is God

Oh, I’m different now

Pill poppin’ got me feelin’ visceral

Make you wanna
Reevaluate

Make you wanna
Reevaluate

I’m wakin’ up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, whoa, I’m radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, whoa, I’m radioactive, radioactive

You left me, stay with him

Live with your decision

I’ve been drinkin’, wo-o-oah

I’m drinkin’ all the time

All the time

I’ve been drinkin’

Aww you better slow down

What you know about what’s right for me?

Right for me

See, yeah

Just because you got a preconceived notion of what I should do

Don’t mean it’s the truth

Just used my last one percent to text you, that shit wasn’t worth it

LAX to JFK, I probably miss on purpose

Funny how when I don’t care, these feelings all resurface

2016 was catastrophic, I deserved it

Phone ringing, never outgoing, homebody

Never outgoing, put my doubts on when these walls up

Tearing at the black tie, finish adding notches to my belt loop

They say help you, I can’t help you

Yeah, I miss you but I got no time for that

You was my little lady, drive me crazy

I was fine with that (damn)

How you just gon’ play me

I ain’t fine with that

Thinking ‘bout you daily

Smoking crazy while I’m off the tac (damn)

Flexin’, oh we would flex it

Always had told you that you’d be a star

Goals in our checklist (damn)

Question, or check your message

Knew that I’d come for the beat from the start

Or she was texting (damn)

Walking down the sidewalk

Is that the way that you wanna be seen?

Face that won’t forget you

Photographic memory

Impression that you’re drawn to

Make it good

Make it last

Waiting for this moment for so long

Ready for the dance

I see you in the city

Do they know you’re with me

Are you with me, baby?

Girl you’re with me baby
