[Intro: Arthur Lewis beatboxing]
[Verse 1: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Baked to a crisp
I whisper as I wander down the hallway
Whistling, wondering when you was gonna call me
Too much weed
I'm smoking Indo and I'm falling fast asleep
I'm thinking about Loretta, B
I'm the beat and she's the melody
Together we'd hit the street
She's walking fifty feet ahead of me
Instead of me she's off and looking for a better me
But I cannot succumb to jealousy
[Chorus: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Arthur Lewis]
[Miranda]
My cousin's telling me
[Both]
Andre
[Miranda]
Forget Loretta, get a life
[Lewis]
Forget Loretta, get a life
[Both]
Get out of the house, do your laundry
[Miranda]
f** Loretta
[Lewis]
f** Loretta
[Miranda]
Go do better
[Lewis]
Go do better
[Both]
And even though it's been a long time
[Miranda]
Loretta's still on the brain
[Lewis]
Loretta's still on the brain
[Both]
I haven't slept in a long time
Without the help of Mary Jane
Let me explain
[Verse 2: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Bust it
I know I ramble like rolling tumbleweeds
Smoking humble seeds
Underneath flowing rumbling beats
Someone needs to chill the f** out
No need to bug out
I don't mean to be a fiend (Oh)
Why am I screaming so loud
That's alright
I can be louder than Manhattan clam chowder on a white dress
Have you screaming yes just like this
Lado a lado you can't f** with my bravado
I know yes I know wherever I go you follow
And the rhymes are tight (Ooh)
And my mind's all right (Lewis: Inside)
But my heart is like (Oh!) (Lewis: Yeah)
Lonely
[Chorus: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Arthur Lewis]
[Miranda]
My cousin told me
[Both]
Andre
[Miranda]
Forget Loretta, get a J-O-B
[Lewis]
Forget Loretta, get a J-O-B
[Both]
Get out of the house, do your laundry
[Miranda]
There's other fishies in the big ol' sea
[Lewis]
There's other fishies in the sea
[Miranda]
Let her be, let her be
[Verse 3: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
What happened?
I miss you
(What happened?)
Come back and put your loving in my lap or some poetic crap like that
You had me at hello
You complete me
Girl you know you need me
Your daddy was a thief because he took the stars and put them in your eyes
Your lonely eyes
You got me spouting corny lines
And since you left I haven't slept in forty days or forty nights
f** it, I need you right now
I wanna call your number but I know that's not allowed
Simon says "GET THE fu*k UP"
But I can't get down
Ever since I found out you was sleeping around
Leaving town
So now
Show me the meaning of being the only motherfu*k who didn't know that you was cheating
Repeating like a CD cause you played me like a punk
And I'd be mad except you haven't called me in a month
Dumped
But I'm a keep on going even though the beat is through
And in a week or two I'll try to get another peek at you
Praying to Jesus too
But I don't see what he can do
I don't believe in him like I really believe in me and you (Lewis: really believe in me and you oh)
[Chorus: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Arthur Lewis]
[Miranda]
And I been telling myself
[Both]
Andre
[Miranda]
Forget Loretta, get some weed
[Lewis]
Forget Loretta, get some weed
[Both]
Get out of the house, do your laundry
[Miranda]
Roll another spliff
[Miranda]
Another philly's all you need
[Lewis]
Another philly's all you need
[Miranda]
Another philly's all I need
[Lewis]
Another philly's all you need
[Outro: Miranda, overlapping]
Go to the corner store, buy some blunts
Another philly's all I need
Another philly's all you need man
Just get out of the couch
Baked to a crisp I whistle as I wander down the hallway
You stink, man. Just get out of the couch, dog
All I need
You're f**ing smellin' to high heaven in here
*whistles*
'n breathe
*laughs*
