Maybe she's on her lunchbreak thinking of you
Or typing words on a screen flashing black and blue
God keeps us guessing and…
…the mountain, across the valley and back to you
Please report me missing to the sheriff of Century Estates
I'm not going to listen and…
…it makes me cry
I left you sleeping in your bed so sick you couldn't even say goodbye
And if she's watching us like I think…
…still see the top
Let me climb aboard and sample some of next years fashion
I'll wear the coat if you can put…
…up
Oh you're gonna pick me back up and you get me high
I'm drinking all of the tears you cry
I'm breathing up every breath you…
…me back up, oh now you're picking me back up
Oh you're gonna pick me back up and you get me high, high, get me high
I'm drinking…
…are moving slow
You see every lesson learned is a blessing earned
And regret is like a fire if you let it burn
While they shooting bullets by us…
…we just standing firm
And they left us here with nothing but we made it work
Uh!
[Hook: Mark Battles]
I want a lot, not it all
And…
…do she love me, not at all
I think them niggas not enough
Because they sleeping on me
Uh!
I want a lot not it all
And…
…are moving slow
You see every lesson learned is a blessing earned
And regret is like a fire if you let it burn
While they shooting bullets by us…
…we just standing firm
And they left us here with nothing but we made it work
Uh!
[Hook: Mark Battles]
I want a lot, not it all
And…
…do she love me, not at all
I think them n*ggas not enough
Because they sleeping on me
Uh!
I want a lot not it all
And…
…lead you to
Convinced that my music needed you
Keep you with me to see you through
I was complete and I believed in you
Curtain…
…covered, didn't see how you and me only hurt each other
Make me feel nice, that's how I learned to love ya
Every night trying…
…it then
Up to my neck in sin
Only wanting it to lead you in
Brought me to the liquor and then drinking it
Took me deeper than I've ever been
So…

On album Lush (2019)
The space between us fills as the bottle empties
Now you're sleeping all alone again an empty room you're spinning…
…in
Now you're drinking on your own in shame, you fill the cup to numb the pain
Now you're waking up alone again
And I wish that you could see…
…on your own in shame, you fill the cup to numb the pain
Now you're waking up alone again
(Now you're waking up alone again)
And I wish that you could see it straight, your minds the cloud that seeds the rain…
This modern medicine went and got us ill
Didn't have a father figure but they get a poppa pill
Just sumn to numb the ache of another dumb…
…the mind goes at night
Lyin on a bed of needles not a pinecone in sight
If money's the root of all evil then the powers that be are the flowers and…
…the pain in the lesson
But praise the progression
Still learnin how to face the depression
It's up to us to start changin the methods
And see…
…splendid
Aged , blended, complex, intense, and smells of wonderful things. When I'm not drinking Martin Ray
Im drinking remy Martin…
…it's dumb that
You even beat skyler
I'm not sure how you actually won that
You couldn't beat me if I was black and you were police…
…really pay attention you might-see that
I, seabass might not win...
No that last statement, I retract
Cuz honestly, your best…
…it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
No
I take it back with the rhythm and…
…the heart cover the planet
I take it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade…
…into the back love
No
And take it back now
Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
And…
…sounded like a Greek dude strolling into Troy and dropping a deuce on the tomb of Hector.
"Control" leaked on You
Tube late…
Heaven my Lil bro. Watched u become a man. U fought bro. The city stole yo life, but not your legacy."
On the night of the 2013 MTV…
…sounded wounded by the "Control" thing: "You can't just say that and then see me and be like, 'Yeah, man, what's up?'-pretending like…
…it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
No
I take it back with the rhythm and…
…the heart cover the planet
I take it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade…
…into the back, love
No
And take it back now
Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
And…
…at a subway station to
Sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population
Not my imagination, I don't wanna relax
Would it hurt your…
…]
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
Oh
[Verse 3]
Now I don't…
…ever wanna be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win…

So how do you go to sleep at night, b*tch
If I'm not the one sleeping with you
[Verse 2: Ritz]
You said that we were taking…
…in your photo album
And all I see is sh*t wit' you hanging out with the same dude
Posin' with your camera phone

…the fuck that motherfucker got sandals on?!?
Are you kidding me!?!
I been drinking constantly drowing in my misery
And you been out fucking someone else not…
I've been drinking too much, honey
And you've been living alone
The stone cold heart has no place it made us
Fall apart and…
…head back home
I've been drinking too much, honey
And you've been living alone
The taste of a cigarette in her teeth
At least you…
…won't taste like a mint leaf
Taste of a cigarette
I've been trying to see where I'm going
My mint leaf you sure are glowing
And I'm not…
