Metropolis

(앨범: Under Pressure - 2014)

Sometimes I feel like I've drifted, I feel different I feel gifted
I've been high so long, don't need to smoke to get lifted
I've been under pressure looking for Nikki
Whenever she is around, you know I come quickly
Vivid memories of Chicago, south side where I go
From Reggies to the House of Blues, progress is the motto
Man the first show that I ever done sold out was in Chicago
Yeah, yeah, living like I've been ready to die
Maybe not, I don't know why my mind is changing
Rearranging this dangerous melody, uh
Yeah, and I know that ain't nobody finna ever be ahead of me
All that competition right there is dead to me
Yeah, uh, yeah, I've been turning the pages
Feeling the vibe, shit is outrageous
Boy, I've been feeling courageous
This shit right here, I've been at it for ages
Feels like I'm running through mazes
Everybody has they phases
Yeah, vibe with this, bad bitch in the whip and I ride to this
And I'm feeling it uh, hope when I'm forty I'm still in it
One of the few that be killing it, uh
Yeah, young motherfucker that be giving what he living
On the road to success so you know that I'm driven
But they didn't wanna publish it
But right now I'm on some other shit
I'm in a different world, I'm with a different girl
I'm with the same team, but it's a different scheme
Remember back when I couldn't even pay the bills
And I'll never forget how that feels back when I would

Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it, I'm gone
Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, smoke it, inhale it, I'm gone

Okay, doing what I gotta do, flying at this altitude
I look out the window like goddamn, that's what I really do
Don't know why I fear the planes, sometimes I wish to sustain
If I look back on it I would do it all over again
Nikki, Nikki, where you been? I can't wait to breathe you in
Been on this plane way too long, I can't wait to see you again
Oh my God this turbulence has got me sipping on this liquor
Crazy, racist, white bitch looking at us
Like, "Who are these niggas?"
First class, on their ass, all complain that's when I dash
Just landed in Europe and this model bitch is tryna smash
Now I'm riding on the train, all this shit inside my brain
Just left a hotel in Belgium, damn them waffles was insane
Smoking blunts in Amsterdam
Oh my God, this is my jam
"May-December" by Mos Def
In my headphones, that's the man

I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high

Okay, fuck affiliation, I'm that dude that did it on his own
These thoughts inside my mind be fucking with me when I'm all alone
I really like this girl she bad as fuck, why must I run away?
It feel like self assassination, I can't put this gun away
Goddamn, what's the plan? Not complacent where I am
Reminiscing when I hit the road back in that mini van
Broke as fuck, not a dollar, whipping that Chevy Impala
Praying that we make it out this city, Lord willing, Insha'Allah
Up to date the couple years, now my idols are my peers
I was on the road to nowhere 'til I decided to veer
Put my everything into this shit, you know, I know you know this
Used to give a fuck what people thought, hoping that they would notice
Stop giving a fuck 'cause music gotta be the only motive
Mind racing on and off the track, I'm going locomotive

[Logic (Anna):]
I can't believe you don't like Tarantino
(Ugh, I don't like him because, like—when it's non like non-Tarantino-esque, I think it's a good movie—)
You mean like Inglourious Basterds?—(I didn't see that)
What?!—(I didn't, I don't know—)
Oh my God! Have you seen 'Pulp Fiction'?
(Yeah, but I don't really remember it)
What you talking about? Have you seen uh... this is funny 'cause we're on a train... have you seen—fuck! What's his name? The guy from the movie, in the place, on the thing?
(On the train? With the scenery?)
Uh, I'm tryna remember right now, dammit—'Source Code'!
(No)—You haven't seen that?
(No)—With the dude from 'Donnie Darko'?
(Who's that?)—Oh my God
(Well, I still wanna know what your favorite Tarantino movie is)
My favorite Tarantino movie—?

I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
I know, I know that I got it if I, do what I gotta do to get by
And they wonder why I never get high
And they wonder why I never get high
