My Friends Say

(album: Everyone We Know - 2017)

[Jeswon & Tuka:]
My friends say
To wait, I should be patient
Fuck that
I say
This life is for the taking
Don't look down

[Jeswon, Tuka & Wallace:]
Middle finger to a hater throwing shade upon the life that I love
Ayo ayo ayo ay
And we don't listen when they're saying to be patient I'm a take what I want
Ayo ayo ay
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
I'm only ever gonna hold you up so
Don't look down

[Jeswon:]
My friends tell me to wait my turn but I don't waste time
Earn a bit of respect right before I take flight
See it all with my third eye from a great height, that's a bird's eye
Stage dive on these snake types that be circling like great whites
Fuck a shark attack, I'm too smart for that, but this life ain't what it seems
It's hard for people to understand the type of life I lead
I be jumping up on that airplane, steady chasing that cream
I might make a bit of paper, but it's never making me

[Jeswon & Tuka:]
My friends say
To wait, I should be patient
Fuck that
I say
This life is for the taking
Don't look down

[Jeswon, Tuka & Wallace:]
Middle finger to a hater throwing shade upon the life that I love
Ayo ayo ayo ay
And we don't listen when they're saying to be patient I'm a take what I want
Ayo ayo ay
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
I'm only ever gonna hold you up so
Don't look down

[Tuka:]
Before I had to start again I thought I'd hit my peak
I guess that man in the mirror he must of been kidding me and
I'm still tryna build that home in my head
You call me crazy, what's the deal homie? Be fair
Spare me the grief
Instead stare at the stars with not a care in the world
I'm not scared to believe
On a search for a heart of gold
I wear it on my sleeve
Everywhere I go
Tryna find that inner peace just like everyone we know
So when

[Jeswon & Tuka:]
My friends say
To wait, I should be patient
Fuck that
I say
This life is for the taking
Don't look down

[Jeswon, Tuka & Wallace:]
Middle finger to a hater throwing shade upon the life that I love
Ayo ayo ayo ay
And we don't listen when they're saying to be patient I'm a take what I want
Ayo ayo ay
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
Keep your head up baby, don't look down
I'm only ever gonna hold you up so
Don't look down
