[Verse 1: Nat Anglin]
Venice Beach, smell the scent of lime
Sunshine rolled out with the tide
LA is lonely
I guess that's not a good sign
Cuz these days man I feel so alive
Comfortably numb my style
Dreams of f**in' an R&B chick well
Those came true upon arrival
Gangstarr albums may as well be the same as Bibles
Guru's words in my head as I walk another mile
Homeless man plays Harmonica
Money in the hat on the lawn with ya
Skies Everclear
Down in Santa Monica
Shorty named Monica
She like EDM
I like EPMD or Jay Electronica
What does she want with ya?
Say she want a man
That makes her feel safe
But ain't afraid to raise his hands
Back to another man
Buncha losers in her past
So when something brand new?
Man she's doubtful it will last
I get it
Pessimistic with a heart of hatred
Her eyes drifting off the whole entire conversation
On her Lana Turner steeze
Gentleman ain't sh**
Nothing more than wolves with some patience
What's ya life like? ever since you swiped right?
Caught some tight pipe
That kept you sleeping like a night light
Guns to the knife fight
Crashed on the take off
And that's why I had to take off before she woke up
That's real sh** and I ain't proud about
Emotional train wrecks
The vultures crowd around it
And so the cycle repeats
Communication errors as the new message deletes
She left on the receipt
She took a piece of mine
Tequilas in Venice, the waves wash away
I'm just looking for some peace of mind
Yeah
Waves wash away, I'm just looking for some peace of mind
[Hook: Nat Anglin]
You ever wonder what your palm reads?
As she holds yours walking past the palm trees?
Is karma coming back for every single wrong deed?
And will you live dreams
Of buying everything your mom needs?
These are thoughts that say alot about me
Cuz if she wants a house
Then I'mma cop three
Alotta dudes forgot
And now they talk about me
And I'll never for get
Who for got about me
You ever wonder what your palm reads?
As she holds yours walking past the palm trees?
Is karma coming back for every single wrong deed?
And will you live dreams
Of buying everything your mom needs?
That pressure banging like a drumset
Texts asking
Are you having fun yet?
Did you find what you're looking for?
Are you done yet?
Blood soaked sky, this is my Tequila Sunset
[VERSE 2: Nat Anglin]
I think about the ones that aim for me
Nights I can't sleep, walking round aimlessly
I get worried and pray
When they looking at the painting of my life
That it's 'Dorian Gray'
Mistakes can cost you child
But children cost more
You see a town full of who*es
And now you lost your idols
Dreams of movie star broads
With oscar smiles
Just be yourself cuz everyone else is taken
Young Oscar Wilde
Drinking
But I've been thinking bout' getting sober
Running out of excuses, as I'm get older
Thinking about how
I'm near my Dad's age
When he had a little me lifted on his shoulders
Went from Eliot Street
To Pico and La Brea
Life flash before ya eyes
As you living on a prayer
Got a ten up in the whip
Now my whip up on the ten
Ten minutes from the show
Know I'll rip it up for them
They know
Underdressed in a Ford
Pictures plenty
Tipped the valet more
Than the dude pushing a Bentley
Another night in the books
The b**hes gravitate
They only show up for success
Now let that marinate
Never carried weight
Had to find a way
Different hustle, different money
Like every single day
Now they lusting for the shine
And they gunning for what's mine
That's why I'm living everyday
Like I'm running out of time
I swear
[Repeat Hook]
[Outro: Nat Anglin]
Yo Nat
Nat!
Coming home soon?
