give me the world

yeah

yeah

yeah

what this shit's all about right?

uh

uh

drinks down

turn the lights low

back to these late nights and light poles

pour my henny and let me slip in a right mode

i hate talking with my eyes closed

far from familiar

these niggas feel ya

city reppin'

learn to shift the culture

gotta watch for vultures

i plot hard

hoping the ones who desired to see me on top as a doctor

admit it wasn't ludicrous reaching heights of a rockstar

mentally playing tetris

i'm young and restless

add it to replace what i'm scratching off of my checklist

2 a.m. breakfast

3 a.m. sessions

6 o'clock naps

face marks from the necklace

9 a.m. flights you pray to jesus for the aisle or window

passin' first-class

crashing off shots of espresso

uber drivers at 'arrivals' that i've seen

and i still ain't satisfied with a thing

i need you to

give me

just give me

give me what you can't get back

why won't you give me?

why won't you give me the world?

give me what you can't get back

uh

you know it's real when fans treat you like the nigga you look up to

bitches say they love you

and women you desire come around and choose to trust you

but you got obligations and time in streets will corrupt you

and even when you tell the truth they always seem to bust you

and you ain't got the time

no reflecting or second-guessing

you fall in love in oakland and take a flight out to texas

flick it up

with niggas you don't like

on instagram accounts

watch a cole show

embarrassed to pull my camera out

prayers panning out

you should've called how the game is changing

you ran your mouth

a plane ticket'll let 'em know you the fuckin' greatest

young hova

a single degree of separation

living on a mission

you know you're what the game is missing

these other niggas is jeremy lins

they're superstition

you left a label

ironically that was lacking vision

you know they out here trippin'

you trying to make a difference

i'm still stressing over things i know i can't control

duckin' calls

laying low

with a goal

i've been

telling lies to everyone i care the most about

and dedicating time to some people that i could go without

it's been a minute since me and you had a conversation

apologies for the times i tried and became impatient

you know a nigga never asked for much

and i don't mean to seem blasphemous

but i'ma need you to

give me

just give me

give me what you can't get back

why won't you give me?

why won't you give me the world?

give me what you can't get back

give me

just give me

give me what you can't get back

why won't you give me?

why won't you give me the world?

give me what you can't get back

it's so hard to give a shit nowadays nigga

i don't know the last time i prayed nigga

i'm still getting over jay nigga

ran up to the coffin

couldn't stay nigga

way too many tears for me to stay with you

your brother smiled at me

told me man'd be so proud"
