Crystals on your lil’ feet, that’s all that dust protein Swoop Tremaine from Calabasas In a Brit sports car We used to cypher in Marc Jacobs Had the library card At Scott’s comparing the silver spoons To plastic knives and sporks I was the dog breathless chasing the car up the street If I ever catch it I’ll panic That’s the flaw in me And nothing glamorous about growing Up Poor and naive Standing on the balls of my feet Trying to pray before I sleep [Chorus] Go ahead red light, standing at the waterfront district Now my head on a cushion Like pink, I’m revvin’, like green, I’m swimmin’ Someone like you, someone like me, ring finger, might sure get took it Wrist like springs, natural springs, waterin’ head, no cookie Other than me and you, and nobody else comin’ between a cool star We got the camera on Monday We made a movie on Tuesday, fu*k We got to look, to look, we never seen stars, it looks so bright [Verse 3] Damn, I try to sleep, can’t get a lot, made dreams bleed into days The pressure couldn’t stop the bleeding, I started seeing things Watching out for demons Blocking out them like to screen these plays I was always reading ya There’s some heaven where the sun don’t shine And I started feeling like pussy poppin was the paradigm Get my dick wet, maritime I’m immersified [these days, you babe, you babe] All my friends in smoke, smoke blazing, trail behind Or he rose in front of mine It’s rappers who evolve with time Reductive in all the rhymes But that time they enforce the biased You know, it’s some cops stop and frisk the guy ‘Cause he brown so of course he sized And all the gangs these lames it’s extorted by Switch lanes in the Porsche I driving That the police Ford Explorer by Sirens screaming like they four or five Throwing tantrums on the 405 So I don’t wait, like I’m tryna gain Don’t hibernate in the winter That’s where summer bodies are made Just leg days like a sprinter With the brown, baby blue interior Big Bs like GMOs And they sting on my eyes closed All I see with my eyes closed Blame my emo on time zones It’s the same but different sets of twins, siblings Experience excesses [Chorus] Go ahead red light, standing at the waterfront district Now my head on a cushion Like pink, I’m revvin’, like green, I’m swimmin’ Someone like you, someone like me, ring finger, might sure get took it Wrist like springs, natural springs, waterin’ head, no cookie Other than me and you and nobody else comin’ between a cool star We got the camera on Monday We made a movie on Tuesday, fu*k We got the look, good looks, ain’t never seen stars that look so bright [Post-Chorus] Prayin’ mantis, flipped by the asian’s first fall of rain, big Pharrell prayin’ hand Big P, big P, bust our face, keep up those alien hands I wanna see the money in cash so that I could truly grasp Makin’ a save, they got that a favor, big for a prayin’ hands [Bridge] Big P, big P, big P, big P Yeah, huh, big P Speakin’ of God, at ten years old, I switched church homes Speakin’ of God, speakin’ of God, speakin’ of God Yeah, hmm Don’t wanna talk me off the ledge, mmm Gotta get in my, mmm Gotta get in my own head Ooh, yeah You can go there, yeah Whenever you feel like it, duh, nuh, huh, nuh Mm, the first, though, maybe keep it in four, though Uh-huh [Verse 4] Speakin’ of God, at ten years old, I switched church homes The bishop was tweakin’, and we was Baptist So how you a bishop?
