Bad Idea

(album: The Lost Boy - 2019)

[YBN Cordae:]
Ooh
Ooh
Yeah, uh
(Bongo ByTheWay)

I know myself all too well to be a stranger of pain
Despite it all, we remaining the same, I'm just changing the game
Heart pure, never tainted with fame
Straight ahead, I'ma stay in my lane
Never switching courses, life's amazing, shit is gorgeous
Looking at the bigger picture, portrait, and I smile wide
Performed the song and the crowd cried
How can I lie? I'm tearing up as I'm starting to stare in y'all eyes
I know the shit you going through the last month
You stressing as you hitting on that glass blunt
A nigga praying to get lucky like Daft Punk
You can't even stomach the pain, now that's a bad lunch
Uh, ramen noodles on the regular
Add some seasoning and some hot sauce for a better touch
Peanut butter, jelly and syrup sandwich, etcetera
And we just flying in the nebula

And it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
See, it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
So don't you cry, little baby, little baby
(Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry)
It'll be alright
So don't you cry, little baby, little baby
(Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry)
It's gon', it'll be alright

[Chance The Rapper:]
I done been around the world four times looking for parking
Finally found a condo, that shit still feel like apartment
Out South my foul mouth started sounding like Cartman
Roundabout like cartwheels, hopped inside of a U-Haul
Confused where all my art went, monsters in a quiet place
Some of these decisions is like Sharpie on a dry-erase
I know they thought I wouldn't, but I'm fireplace
I had my cake and ate it too, that shit is an acquired taste
I promised I would buy a place, I got my favorite roommates
They used to never see me like when you zip up a new Bape
Do that shit 'fore it's too late, don't ever drink the Kool-Aid
Don't ever think it's sweet, that's that crème de la brûlée
Who they? They Robert Goulet, they Nazi, cuckoo, goofy
My wifey yelling, "Who they?" My daughter yelling, "Hooray"
I see it clear like Blu-Ray, I park it in the sky
I keep 'em on my block, 'round the corner of my eye
Like a stye (Uh)

[YBN Cordae:]
So don't you shed a tear
Cause there'll be better years
I live life by faith nigga, instead of fear
God crying, thunderstorms is Heaven tears
The feeling of lost hope, shit is never here
'Cause we gon' make it happen by any means
A young nigga, dawg, but I done witnessed many things
Age 13, wearing hand-me-down skinny jeans
You know they a little extra faded around the knees
With the grass stains in 'em
I really wish a little extra cash came in 'em 'cause a nigga really needed it
Pain, I defeated it, and brought back
Soul survivor, nigga, what you call that?

And it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
See, it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
So don't you cry, little baby, little baby
(Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry)
It'll be alright
So don't you cry, little baby
(Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry)
It's gon', it's gon' be alright
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
See, it might not be such a bad idea if I never went home again
So don't you cry, little baby
It'll be alright
So don't you cry, little baby
It'll be alright
