Tokyo

Too many things I'd rather do different
Woke up in a cold sweat, my emotions creepin'
Three o'clock on the weekend, might as well sleep in
Stay down for the count when, she hit me with the what-ifs?
And the what-whens? and the what-thens?
Wonder where my life went, living in the moment
I been thinking 'bout my time spent, are the bills paid?
Is it make or break? Will I find a way?
Are my feelings changed? Will I be okay?
I don’t know, but what I do know is, life don't make sense
If you can't pay rent, so I place my bet
What got you shook on this Saturday?
I take my L and I hold my place
I split my L and I go away
You left a spell on my Saturday
What got you shook on this Saturday?
I take my L and I hold my place
I split my L and I go away
You left a spell on my Saturday
I got cracks in my phone screen, the past fuck with my psyche
Smoke weed and get high, please, went to school in the woodlands
And that made niggas wanna fight me, so I don't take threats lightly
Tell them niggas come and find me, got his head in my eye view
New house off iTunes, new money, my perfume
Big smile, in a good mood, I been running outta issues
I ain't trippin' when the rent due, I ain't runnin' with a pistol
I ain't locked in the system, taking care of my kin folk
Taking a book out the page of the graves
I'm only human and I make mistakes
Chisel my flows so they can't liberate
Talkin' the time as the pendulum sways
I gotta face what I didn't create
Just cause I can't relate, I don't debate
I educate, illuminate
Or we can't duplicate, no more moving the plates
Second chances feeling overrated
Unappreciated so I bossed up
Missed the time when we could share space
But it'll all be straight the day we cross up
Nothing better than some time with you
Because it's time I never wanna toss up
Lose myself inside of you, you find yourself in me
I don't wanna be cautious
What got you shook on this Saturday?
I take my L and I hold my place
I split my L and I go away
You left a spell on my Saturday
What got you shook on this Saturday?
I take my L and I hold my place
I split my L and I go away
You left a spell on my Saturday
What got you shook?
What got you shook?
What got you shook?
What got you shook?
