Lyrics
[Chorus]
No matter what you say or what you do
When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you
Fuck these other ****, I'll be right by your side
Till 3005, hol' up
[Verse 1]
Okay, hold up, wait a minute, all good just a week ago
Crew at my house, and we party every weekend, so
On the radio, that's my favorite song
Make me bounce around like, I don't know, like I won't be here long
Now the thrill is gone, got no patience 'cause I'm not a doctor
Girl why is you lyin'? Girl, why you Mufasa?
Yeah, mi casa su casa, gotta strip it like Gaza
Got so high off volcanoes, now the flow is so lava
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we spit that saliva, iPhone got message from Viber
Either the head is so Hydra or we let bygones be bygones
My God, you pay for your friends? I'll take that as a compliment
Got a housefull of homies, why I feel so the opposite
Incompetent ain't the half of it, Saturdays we're Young Lavishes
Saddest shit is I'm bad as it, these, they took from the cabinet
Sorry, I'm just scared of the future
Till 3005, I got your back, we can do this, hol' up
[Chorus]
No matter what you say or what you do
When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you
Fuck these other ****, I'll be right by your side
Till 3005, hol' up
[Chorus]
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up
[Chorus]
No matter what you say or what you do
When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you
Fuck these other ****, I'll be right by your side
Till 3005, hol' up
[Chorus]
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up
[Verse 3]
I used to care what people thought, but now I care more
Man, nobody out here's got it figured out, so therefore
I've lost all hope of a happy ending
Depending on whether or not it's worth it, so insecure, no one's perfect
We spend it with no shame, we blow that like Coltrane
We in here like Rogaine, or leave it like Cobain
And when I'm long gone, whole crew sing a swan song
'Cause we all just tickin' time bombs, got a Lambo like LeBron's mom
And no matter where all of my friends go
Emily, Fam, and Lorenzo
All of them people my kinfolk, at least I think so
[Verse 4]
Can't tell
'Cause when them checks clear, they're not here
'Cause they don't care (Don't care)
It's kinda sad, but I'm laughin', whatever happens
Assassins are stabbed in the back of my cabin
Labrador yappin', I'm glad that it happened
I mean it, between us, I think there's somethin' special (I think there's somethin' special)
And if I lose my mental, just hold my hand
Even if you don't understand, hol' up
[Chorus]
No matter what you say or what you do (No, no)
When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you (You and me)
Fuck these other ****, I'll be right by your side (No, no, no, no, no, no)
Till 3005, hol' up
[Chorus]
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up, no)
Hol' up
Hol' up
[Chorus]
No matter what you say or what you do
When I'm alone, I'd rather be with you
Fuck these other ****, I'll be right by your side
Till 3005, hol' up
[Chorus]
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up (Hol' up)
Hol' up
[Outro]
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
Hol' up
