Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know I
I know but I gotta get up out of here, you know?
I gotta go pay these bills, I got a show to do
You know?
[Verse 2]
One time for your mind
Let's go to sleep in Paris
And wake up in Tokyo
Have a dream in New Orleans
Fall in love in Chicago, man
[Verse 3]
I love her and I hate to leave her lonely
Ring, ring, went the iPhone, it was my homie
He said, "Let's hit Japan, if we can make 'em jam
We can make a hundred grand, spend it in the south of France"
Nothing further, I jumped, grabbed my Goyard trunk
Got ready to walk it out like Unc
In my John Lennon Chucks
That's when I heard murder, you're killing me
You're filling me with sorrow
Sunrise, goodbyes, and missing you tomorrows
I turn to see my dream love, supreme queen
Neatest thing on the scene, cry
I drop my bags in a flash, that's faster than one eighty on the dash, sir
To dry your tears
And wipe the rain from my dear like dat shirt
Used the dame who's the user name to all my passwords
The reason I get fly as Ivan Jasper
I even keep your picture in my passport
Love, love
[Verse 4]
Let's go to sleep in Paris
And wake up in Tokyo
Have a dream in New Orleans
Fall in love in Chicago, man
Then we can land in the motherland
Camelback across the desert sands
And take a train to Rome
Or home, Brazil, for real
Wherever I go, she go
Wherever I go, she go
[Verse 5]
So let's keep it real
All in together, free chill
Tell the stewardess to throw a movie on the reel
Heat up my kosher meal, exchange my dollar bills
Lean back in my first class seat and sleep
Don't wake me till I land
Where they barely understand what I speak, but they nod to my beats
I tell my fans who I am, and they stand
And they clap, they applaud, they love me, my god
Otsukaresama deshita or maybe au revoir
A spree on Saint-Avre then back to Charles de Gualle
So I can get home and tell her
Everywhere that I've been
And everything that I've done
And tell her that she's the one and, um
[Verse 6]
Let's go to sleep in Paris
And wake up in Tokyo
Have a dream in New Orleans
Fall in love in Chicago, man
Then we can land in the motherland
Camelback across the desert sands
And take a train to Rome
Or home, Brazil, for real
Wherever I go, she go
Wherever I go, she go
[Verse 7]
Uh, guess who's back in the house
With a bunch of souvenirs and a smile for your mouth
I really missed ya, each and every night I kissed ya
In my dreams 'fore I went to sleep to La-La Land and count them sheep
I swear you're lookin' prettier than ever
It's got to be a prophecy for us to stay together
Evermore, for better or, let's support
Or worth our weight in buried treasure, X is on the shore
I know my world tour is like bored to ya
But Ian said, "Aloha," and Hardy said, "Cheers"
Julian said, "Bonjour," Big O was like, "Yeah"
Amanda and lil' Messy wanted to know when we goin' there
Eddison sends his love, so does the rest of the club
Of the international playboys and playgirls
But I revoke my membership all for my tenderness
She said pursue your interests 'cause even if I'm ticketless
I'll be there, by your side
In your heart and on your mind
So, as I taxi down another runway
I got ya, who loves ya, bae?
Now bring it back now
[Verse 8]
Let's go to sleep in Paris
And wake up in Tokyo
Have a dream in New Orleans
Fall in love in Chicago, man
Then we can land in the motherland
Camelback across the desert sands
And take a train to Rome
Or home, Brazil, for real
Wherever I go, she go
Wherever I go, she go
Wherever I go, she go
Wherever I go, she goes
