Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do my hair, gotta put on makeup
Gotta act like I care 'bout this fake stuff, straight up
What a waste of my day, if I had it my way
I'd roll out of bed, say 'bout 2:30 midday
Hit the blunt, then hit you up to come over to my place
You show up right away, we make love, and then we fuck
And then you give me my space, hey
[Chorus]
What I am tryin' to say is
That love is ours to make, so we should make it
Everything else can wait
That time is ours to take, so we should take it
[Verse 2]
Wake up, wake up, bake up
Gotta heat the vape up, let's get faded
Gotta call your job, tell 'em you won't make it
Ain't nobody here, baby, let's get wasted
We should just get naked
'Cause I've been working hard, and I know you be on that same shit
Every other day's a different game that you just can't win
I just wanna ease your mind and make you feel alright
So go 'head tell your baby mama you gon' be with me tonight, right
[Chorus]
What I am tryin' to say is (What I'm tryin' to say is)
That love is ours to make, so we should make it (Uh-huh, alright, okay)
We should make, we should make, we should make it
Everything else can wait (Everything else can wait)
That time is ours to take, so we should take it, oh
[Verse 3]
It's not love but it's pretty close
Hot fudge and a little smoke
I didn't mean it means nothin' to you
Hands locked on my black couch with nothin' to do
Can't stop on cloud twenty
Buried in the drugs, but the feels keep comin'
Finally stop crying, but your nose still runny
Eww, wipe it on my shirt, on the sleeve
You tell me that you wanna do it big
I love it when you say, "Guess what?"
Readin' stories to some other **** kid
And I wonder why I'm all messed up
'Cause we gotta be responsible sometimes
Be a class act, never mind my alumni
I don't wanna be around a baby so dumb high
That I don't see the beauty of a mama on insides
Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and stress
If the world doesn't change, then we'll never get dressed
It'll be like this to the kiss of the death of my soul
Bowl of the Blue Dream, no, not a good team, one soul, two halves
No joke, who laughs, just us (Just us, just us)
[Verse 4]
Okay, got this OJ and Jose
Mixed it up with that Rosé
We gon' do this our own way, alright
Okay, what is it that you're smokin'?
Piece it up with this peace and love
And this peace and love like the old days, yeah
[Chorus]
What I am tryin' to say is (What I'm tryin' to say is)
That love is ours to make, so we should make it (Uh-huh, alright, okay)
We should make, we should make, we should make it
Everything else can wait (Everything else can wait)
The time is ours to take, so we should take it, oh
[Outro]
We should stay right here
You should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here
You should stay right here
We should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here
