we’re not that tight, not anymo’
now i think that’s fine, but you could let me know
if there’s a party, invite me, i could come and go
to check if you’re alright and to let you know
i still don’t go all night and i’m beautiful
i’ll ask you “what’s the time”, mane it’s time to go
i’ll just have a sprite, then i’m on the road
i’m going to my wife and some game of thrones
i ask myself “hey, what’s going on?”
“how come you don’t come out of your comfort zone?”
you used to be a clown and original
now you’re so dumbed down and forgettable
i mean, i kid you not, you’re incredible
but you’re not yet hot, you just put the kettle on
i mean, where is the fire, you used to have desire
now you’re tired and it all sounds terrible
judging by my hearing i’m like thirty-two, help
just turned twenty, it’s feeling like twenty-twelve
well, i guess you lose some and gain some
as long as i don’t go insane from
just imagine you’re trying to go to sleep
but you can’t ‘cause your hearing this f*ng beep
for months you’re praying for it to stop playing
by the end you know that it won’t stop (shut up!)
just imagine you’re trying to go to sleep (noise inside my head)
but you can’t ‘cause you’re hearing this fucking (it’s even in the night)
for months you’re praying for it to stop playing (especially in the night)
by the end you know that it won’t stop staying
when i realized it, i knew it ain’t new
had to recognize that there’s nothing to do
i guess you lose some and gain some
as long as i don’t go insane from
nah i can’t let that run the show (nah no)
gotta get back to my old flow
but it’s not the same, i got some additional (what’s that?)
hey, i’ll explain, if you didn’t know
if you didn’t know i got this girl that i’m mad about
safe to say that it’s better now
and why not share our whereabouts?
we’re on holiday (we’re on Gili Air right now)
i wrote this there, i rap it now
‘twas in the shower, but, anyhow
let me wash my hair, then we’re heading out
‘cause my girlfriend, mane (she’s gotta eat)
i mean “we do”, mane we need food
get to the venue look at the menu
“watcha gonna choose?” she said “mie”, i said
“me too”
and i look across the table like
hey you look very, i mean very very cute
summer day with my buddy (with my buddy buddy)
mm that’s just the way i want it (like i want it)
belle belle, ma belle belle
