Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Aight, hold on
If I was bein' honest
I'd say, long as I could fuck three times a day and not skip a meal, I'm good
I-I used to work on my feet for seven dollars a hour
Call my mama like, "Mama
I ain't makin' minimum wage, Mama
I'm on, Mama, I'm on
Now I'm makin' 400, 600, 800K, Mama
To stand on my feet, Mama
Play these songs, it's therapy, Mama
They payin' me, Mama
I should be payin' them"
I should be payin' y'all, honest to God
I'm just a guy, I'm not a god
Sometimes I feel like I'm a god but I'm not a god
If I was, I don't know which heaven would have me, Mama
Let me run this bitch, I'ma run it to the ground, Mama, the whole galaxy
Goddamn, fuck these lames, they don't want none
Fuck these lames, they don't want none
Fuck these ****
Fuck these ****, they don't want none
Fuck these ****
Fuck you, **** and
Fuck me if I hated on you
[Verse 2]
I'ma stick around
I'm gon' let my nuts hang
****, you got some just like me, don't you?
Or maybe not just like me
You know I'm Africano Americano
And even if you half Japanese
Roots run deep
Family tree throw a big shadow (Jamming to the rhythm)
Tech company, please give me immortality (It's a face to face)
I'm going rapidly, fading drastically, damn (Keep me high, Castrati)
Punani fade the stress (Or pull the zip down)
Wet your lips first, lick the tip now, smoke somethin' (Bugatti left some stretch marks on that freeway)
[Verse 3]
They tryna find 2Pac
Don't let 'em find 2Pac
He evade the press
He escape the stress
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
La-la-la
[Verse 4]
I'll keep quiet and let you run your phone bill up
I know you love to talk
I ain't on your schedule
I ain't on no schedule
I ain't had me a job since 2009
I ain't on no sales floor
You say I'm changing on you
I feel like Selena
They wanna murder a ****
Murder me like Selena
[Verse 5]
You must ain't get the memo
I don't cuff bitches no more
But your bitch my exception
Come get her outta my four-door
I only got one four-door
Remember when I had that Lexus? No
Our friendship don't go back that far
Tyler slept on my sofa, yeah
**** go back that far
I ain't smoked all year
This the last song, so
I'm finna wipe that off
Tolerance is so low
Still smoke a whole 'gar
[Verse 6]
Ménage on my birthday
Tap out on the first stroke
'Cause this ain't no workday
She don't give head anyway
'Cause what **** say
That's what she tell her man
What a difference distance makes
**** wan' fight in the streets now
Shit startin' to make my hands hurt
[Verse 7]
Jay hit me on the email
Said I outta act my net worth
Dog, this is chess now
Now fetch, I ain't runnin' for a ****
Ain't ran since track meets
That's the only time I ran from a ****
You could change this track now
Could've changed this bitch a long time ago
[Verse 8]
Know and know
Know and know
Shout out to Hollygrove
I'm from that 7th though
Twins know and Lance know
Clark know and Matt know
Shit went one-eighty on me
Please run that back though
[Outro]
Make sure you speak up
Okay
What's your name?
Ryan
Yo, hey, be quiet
What's your name?
What do you do?
[Outro]
What's your first memory?
The first word I learned to say or that I ever said
What's the most amazing thing you've ever witnessed?
You're not gon' make it, are you?
Friendship and how it controls the world
Alright, uh, what three superpowers do you wish you had?
Hey, my bad, hey, say it again
Flying, contortion, to be invincible
Alright, what's your name?
Maybe we can get a little, a little bit, little bit, little bit
[Outro]
I wish I could sleep without like being dead but forever at the same time
Yo, what, what's, what's the year 3000 going to look like?
Dog, stop, stop, what you mean bro? Stop, stop
Or it could be great and shit can fly, and buildings would be very, very tall, and everybody won't know what the ground looks like
That's fucked up
Chloe, shh, okay, start over
Best thing about being me is I got a nice set of friends, feel me?
A pretty clear mind, I feel like sometimes
What's the worst thing about being me? Probably, uh
Being Drake
I think a lot, a lot, too much
Sometimes I'm very musty
Talents, any secret talents?
I don't think so, I'm pretty open with all, everything I do
Talents, uhm, I can play the theremin
Probably Tyler, his life seems pretty awesome
No, actually, no, fuck him, uh
I don't know, probably Dill 'cause he doesn't have to do anything, at all
Just sits inside his house
[Outro]
What's your name?
Sage Elsesser
What do you do?
I play soccer and I go to school
I wanna be better at skating
Probably jump off something really high
Super high and try to land in like a handstand or something
Alright that's it
Spend a couple hours with my family, and I'd go out and just do everything that I ever thought about trying
I don't know, there's a lot of things that you could do
That's it
[Outro]
How far is a lightyear?
How far is a lightyear?
