[Part 1: Nathanya, Produced by Kar'melo and Amir Royale]
[Intro]
Hello? Is anybody out there?!
I'm out here alone!
Hello?! Is anybody out there?!
[Verse 1]
Nathanyah...
Dress girl, better than Bonquisha and the Queen of the Nile
Been a while since we started talking, really talking
I'm coming up to your room now
I hope you sweeped away everything off the carpet
Or at least under it, but you know how I feel about that
Move that gla** table aside, I know you hate the dirt
So you try not to share it with nobody fine—fine—sure
You've talked me out of it this one time
I won't even try to help this one time
I won't even try to tell myself I'm wrong this one time
I won't even tell the girl that made me feel this way
That I hate her just for making me feel this way again
Just this one time, fun times
You rehearsed this ain't you? Sure I'll play along—
But I shouldn't, cause you ain't scared to start to start this
And I ain't trying to depart this, that's pretty wrong
You look so enticing with your hair back and you know that
So I'll come up in your apartment
But I swear this better never get out or people figure it out
Cause you got a lot of ammunition that you could use
If you were put in the right position
And I know that you'll take advantage of it
So I'll write this down
And if us ever gets out, if just one person knows
I'll f** you over later, worst, worst
Before it we crack jokes about it
We vent about the world and laugh about its flaws
Your turn always ends and it's my turn
I told you 'bout this one girl that I really care about
And how I told her not to play games with me
How it wouldn't end well, how that would make a scene
Though I had fun with it
I think they should be paying me hordes of hundreds
But I'm afraid to say it
Cause I'm scared they'll disown me or something
Like they'll tell me a situation that happened back in the past
That will make me change my looks towards a person
Like a few will be elated I'll make it
And probably tell me on the spot
The others would relate to anything that I jot
There's a couple of thots I'm willing to stick with
But I'm afraid of what will happen if I do
Still would like to sob on someone's shoulder
How 'bout my average is lower than Wa**aba Cabba
Going down on some of the boys in the staircase
I never really talked to her
Even once we were in the same grade
But it wasn't cause of her reputation
It was because I had nothing to say then
But now I have a whole bunch
Wanted to take you out to lunch and just ask about her
I ain't the type of guy to last without her
I remember this one time
I almost beat this one kid into a bloody pulp
Just to see a skull crack open and bleed
I just needed sudden result, just needed reactions
Said forget any hope, stone cold once I entered the action
But I refrained from it, I think about him every day
And how no one was willing to give me up
sh**, no one knew about it until this day but you
You—debuted my little rage years, but you?
You—you probably judge me for it
Probably heard that and made me less important
I hope you understand that I still got a lot in store for you
I'm to the core for you
Watch me blow up and then record for you
Bring you to the studio and then score for ya
Yeah, that's the only thing that makes me different
From these people, dumbest one in the room
Because I know how to pull a trigger and bang
I'm just Kenny walking dead with a broken heart blind
Still Clark, cause I'm always the best in the room from the start
Ain't a Sag, shoulda never f**ed with a Leo
But I'm still a petty Penny
So f** it, I'm ready
[Interlude]
You ready? I'm ready...
You ready? I'm ready...
We ready—let's do it! [Part 2: Cameron, Produced by Amir Royale]
[Break]
Aw yeah!
God damn, god damn, god damn
Aw yeah, aw yeah, aw yeah
Aw yeah, aw yeah, god damn
Come on, I've been waiting all day for this sh**, yo!
[Verse 2]
Hey Cameron...
Girl with the long pink tails, famous Daddy
Back from Cali after long hours and nature valleys?
You barely look like you rehearse at all
I know you do, but you look like you're still hurt is all
Don't worry about it, even if I'm wrong I won't hold you to that
That's just a question that I barely get to ever ask you
Haven't approached you since day one
Been working and made none
But I'm thinking I should have won an award or something
I remember coming to your crib
And thinking that you're rich
That you might be an idiot or a b**h or probably get me sick
But you didn't, you did something totally different
You probably wondering why I'd drop your name in a song
Especially one where I could lie about
Anything that I wanted to right? Ain't that the truth?
I mean, I ain't gon' lie, I kinda think I like you
Kinda think you're cute
Ridiculous how no one notices
You're staring off in the distance
The crazy thoughts in your mind
Dangerous, vicious—that's how I feel
I feel like I'm screaming and no one is listening
I've been trying to cry and throw up for days
But nothing is coming out I'm either scared or amazed
I found out one of my girls
Had slept with this guy the other day
Different from the one that sparkles
You'll hear about her later
But anyway I'm beginning to hate hate
Beginning to hate I, beginning to hate crying, trying
And tryna say bye to the hatred
The deep cuts and love potions
I'd coast to coast oceans for this one girl
I got a tier of emotions that flow from here to Wisconsin
When she steps outside
She drowns in the nonsense around her
Oops—you know that's true
But what the hell can I do about it?
I respect your sophistication, intelligence, beauty
Really they move me—really, truly, deeply
And really I would like to get you to know me, same way
It would help, I've made some mistakes lately
But added moral code to the roster, I hate minages
And I'm tryna get a message through
And I'm using the same words on some writers block sh**
Sit trapped by corners of no imagination
Like f** it, I'm just so sleep deprived
I need to be a**igned a time where I can think and forget the fact that no one tells me what I need to know
It's either my way or the highway, I guess that's so
But I need to hear that
From the people that I'm really close to, you know?
Like, they're the ones who don't lie to me
Even when I hurt 'em sometimes
They confide in me, just like I can find them
When I need 'em and tell 'em everything
Cause I need to be honest, I need to hear honesty
So you need to be honest
We all need to be honest honestly
And though I think about that constantly
I kinda see you ain't the kind for me
(God damn that's a lie/lot)
[Break]
Aw yeah!
God damn, god damn, god damn
Aw yeah, aw yeah, aw yeah
Aw yeah, aw yeah, god damn
[Segue]
What do they like more the rhymes or the crimes?
(Always the crimes—never the rhymes)
What do they like more the rhymes or the crimes?
They tryna get a ride while they a nickel and a dime short [Part 3: Emma, Produced by Amir Royale]
[Verse 3]
Oh Emma...
Beautiful, beautiful Emma
With your clay hands shaking and pressing together
Keeping everyone out
But can't help but show it all when you're nervous
Ain't certain behind the curtain
You're rehearsing just in hopes you're improving—I get it
Don't even know you, but you know me
It's like I'm scared to let you in
But no, I refuse to keep us under this weather
Under this pressure
Yeah, I'm afraid that we'll splatter, shatter or crash (stop!)
It was never a tie
I just told you that cause you matter to me most of the time
You ain't just fine girl, you're better than fine
You think the makeup that you got on really matters?
It doesn't matter
Cause what you're made up on the inside
Really matters to me, everyone and you
It really hurts when you're saddened
I always end up writing a verse when I'm mad
So f** it, change the topic
I'm bad at Madden, good at FIFA Street
You could put me versus your whole team
And I'd still defeat 'em like Bruce against Kareem
I still worry 'bout Keisha
Her love problems and view of her features
Her future with her boy is really too hard to think of
Really I'm f**ing my life up—soft kid, talk tough
I'm a f**boy? Well kiss my left f**ing nut cuh (whoo!)
That felt good, real good—Emma, Emma
How much time did it really cost ya?
You may have known that I lost her
But you ain't know about foster care
You ain't know about the cause of it
Shivers all down your spine
You're sweating, hot, cold and totally scared
(It's cute though)
You probably don't even know
How much I really care about you
See I told ya you'd lose
And ain't nobody even tried to stop ya
I ain't cry about it 'til the second quarter—yeah
But I bet you didn't know it hurt before her—so?
Go...
[Skit]
- A telephone rings
Hello?
- No one responds
A: (sighs)
- The phone is hung up
[Musical Interlude]
[Outro]
Dark room, dark room
Dark room, dark room
Know that it's hard to see
Dark room, dark room
Dark room, dark room
I know that it's hard to see
Try and find me
Swimming in the Deep Blue Sea
That you put me in...
That you put me in...
Does it hurt? Does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Oh, I know, I know
But you'll never know, I know
But you'll never know, I know
