Oh-oh, oh, mmm

0:11

How am I free when you hold me so tight?

0:14

How can I beam when you blocking my light?

0:17

I cannot be, what you want me

0:19

What you want me, what you want me to be

0:23

How can I see when you cover my eyes?

0:26

And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?

0:29

So tell me right now what you want me

0:31

What you want me, what you want me to be

0:34

Yeah, ooh, what you wanna do is tell me off, no

0:39

What you wanna do is fuck me up, ooh

0:42

What you not gon' do is top me off

0:44

So excuse me for an hour while I love myself

0:47

You told me you'd protect my heart, you'd be my goalie

0:52

Thinking 'bout the bullshit that you sold me

0:55

And I know that I ain't perfect, but you so mean

0:58

We were homies

0:59

You trip me up just to watch me fall

1:02

Smoke another cigarette, wash the last one down

1:05

So down, down 'til I'm flat on my face

1:08

You're the reason why I get so high

1:11

How am I free when you hold me so tight?

1:14

How can I beam when you blocking my light?

1:17

I cannot be, what you want me

1:18

What you want me, what you want me to be

1:23

How can I see when you cover my eyes?

1:25

And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?

1:29

So tell me right now what you want me

1:31

What you want me, what you want me to be

1:35

Got a custom diamond ring and no, he don't got a wife

1:38

Got a large amount of things, I can't total the price

1:41

I told her I don't need her, she can leave out my life (leave out my life)

1:44

You only get one try, but if it's lit, we go twice (we go twice)

1:47

Uh, pull up in a hard top, it's a drop top (drop top)

1:51

Told you we'd be multimillionaires, why lie? (Why lie?)

1:54

She know I do not care for no pressin' my mind

1:57

The federal skeleton on my wrist say prime-time (prime-time)

2:00

How couldn't you just let me be me?

2:02

You starting to be measly (measly)

2:03

I couldn't even find out 'cause you leaving me (leaving me)

2:06

You can tell I'm pure, you feel my energy (energy)

2:08

Really rich, we ain't living free

2:09

Got to keep it solid and we all agree

2:11

How am I free when you hold me so tight?

2:14

How can I beam when you blocking my light?

2:17

I cannot be, what you want me

2:19

What you want me, what you want me to be

2:23

How can I see when you cover my eyes?

2:25

And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?

2:29

So, tell me right now what you want me

2:31

What you want me, what you want me to be (so tell me what you want me to be)

2:36

Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah
