Give Me The World

(album: Far From Familiar - 2016)

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
What this shit's all about right?
Uh
Uh

Drinks down, turn the lights low
Back to these late nights and light poles
Pour my Henny and let me slip in a right mode
I hate talking with my eyes closed
Far from familiar
These niggas feel ya, city repping
Learn to shift the culture
Gotta watch for vultures
I plot hard, hoping the ones who desired to see me on top as a doctor
Admit it wasn't ludicrous reaching heights of a rockstar
Mentally playing Tetris, I'm young and restless
Add it to replace what I'm scratching off of my checklist (uh)
2 a.m. breakfast (uh)
3 a.m. sessions (uh)
6 o'clock naps, face marks from the necklace
9 a.m. flights you pray to Jesus for the aisle or window
Passing first-class, crashing off shots of espresso
Uber drivers at 'Arrivals' that I've seen
And I still ain't satisfied with a thing
I need you to

Give me, just give me
Give me what you can't get back
Why won't you give me?
Why won't you give me the world?
Give me what you can't get back

Uh
You know it's real when fans treat you like the nigga you look up to
Bitches say they love you
And women you desire come around and choose to trust you
But you got obligations and time in streets will corrupt you
And even when you tell the truth they always seem to bust you
And you ain't got the time, no reflecting or second-guessing
You fall in love in Oakland and take a flight out to Texas
Flick it up, with niggas you don't like, on Instagram accounts
Watch a Cole show, embarrassed to pull my camera out
[?] prayers panning out
You should've called how the game is changing
You ran your mouth
A plane ticket'll let 'em know you the fucking greatest
Young Hova, a single degree of separation
Living on a mission
You know you're what the game is missing
These other niggas is Jeremy Lins, they're superstition
You left a label, ironically that was lacking vision
You know they out here tripping
You trying to make a difference
I'm still stressing over things I know I can't control
Ducking calls, laying low, with a goal
I've been, telling lies to everyone I care the most about
And dedicating time to some people that I could go without
It's been a minute since me and you had a conversation
Apologies for the times I tried and became impatient
You know a nigga never asked for much
And I don't mean to seem blasphemous
But I'ma need you to

Give me, just give me
Give me what you can't get back
Why won't you give me?
Why won't you give me the world?
Give me what you can't get back

Give me, just give me
Give me what you can't get back
Why won't you give me?
Why won't you give me the world?
Give me what you can't get back

[*Phone ringing*]

It's so hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
I don't know the last time I prayed nigga
I'm still getting over Jay nigga
Ran up to the coffin, couldn't stay nigga
Way too many tears for me to stay with you
Your brother smiled at me
Told me "Man'd be so proud"
I broke down, I regret the day I played with you
See you was trying to put me on game nigga
It's funny how I couldn't do the same with you
I was too caught up in my lane nigga
I blocked you from my cell, I couldn't hang with you

[*Phone rings*]

It's so hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
It's so hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
They cremated you, you didn't want a grave nigga
They told you twice, "If you get on that bike again, you gonna pay nigga"
But you ain't need to be safe nigga
You was already saved nigga
You was already saved nigga
It's so hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
I could give a fuck about the game nigga
I would give it all away, all away
If it meant that you could stay nigga
So hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
So hard to give a shit nowadays nigga
