Lyrics

Shoulders (9pm)

Heartbreaks ain’t the same when you got hate

You Left my heart to the wolves but it was all birds

Had something on my chest but it’s they/she/hers

So I trade away our future she my Luka to the lakers

I might be losing some weight

On my shoulders

Ain’t a single bar to raise

When the bars been broken

It’s a Thursday night

You been airing out my laundry on on the group slack

How you keeping cute when there’s a laughing track?

The club been missing you now more then ever

You been pray for this weather

So if you bout it bout it bout

Now

Imma need more than shrug

If you treating me like a drug

The way I needed you now or never

Ain’t no love without some luck

Who you really been putting above me?

I needed you now or never

It’s hard to keep a garden

when you got snakes

But you just want a simple time

For simplicity sake

We all make mistakes

But only living for the good was the risk you take

So now you losing the weight

Of your shoulders

But it’s only in the wake

Of the life you chosen

So when your back is on the wall,

do the Bricks still burn you

Like the rubbing alcohol

From the CVS?

You looking at me like

What went wring

But I know you bout it bout it bout

Now

So Imma need more than shrug

If you treating me like a drug

The way I needed you now or never

Ain’t no love without some luck

Who you really been putting above me?

I needed you now or never

Im using the weight

Im looking the weight off my shoulders

Don’t know what it takes

But I needed you now or never

5th Floor (10pm) with Q-Tip

She singing Maria Maria

She needed a familiar song, but I needed to re-up

On beat four of that drum

arms swinging like a preacher

Cause I been knowing it’s calm when I’m with you

She turned me to a believer

When I can’t decide

Got four roses in hand

We in the key foods line

I know you wanted Mclovin’

Before that feeling subsides

She was more than enough

So what’s a good thing gone if I got you?

I know it’s something new

We ain’t singing the blues

I

wanna see this through

All the party purveyors are walking in

But one invite with a grin, kind of floats like the wind as she two steps inside

Spinning, pirouetting with a glide

I invited you specifically to take the bait

And you smile later confiding that you couldn’t wait

all this magic and charisma got us moving like a thriller

You’re a PYT babi b mine thats a date

The righteous Brothers, Smothers, and others

Laurels & Hardys’

two folks at parties

Coke and Bacardi

Curry basmati

Sonny Chiba and karate

These are pairings of camaraderie

And I’m telling everybody that the girl I just met won’t leave me with regret

So what’s a good thing gone if I got you?

I know it’s something new

We ain’t singing the blues

I

wanna see this through

Fade Blue (11pm)

Memories fade blue

I can’t even think straight when I’m not with you

The light is falling

Like a canvas all on me

Now you wanna a take two

sms green cus the letters

Ain’t faithful

Guess I’ll keep on stalling

Like a fake apology

So you wanna make it up

When your life is in a rut

Every time I say what’s up

Never feel like it’s enough

Cus we all made broken…

So I just wanna live my life

Make it all up on site

Cus all we got is everyday

I just wanna live my life

Fuck around and take advise

Cus all we got is everyday

I got tunnel vision but the circle keep changing every time

I’m Not even looking for a sign of life

Cus your my witness

So who you really really tryna give the business too?

assimilating to a god like you

Pull me closer into things

I might not do

No we don’t gotta be so cut and dry

I just wanna make it up

When my life is in a rut

Every time you say what up

I never feel like it’s enough

But we were all made broken

So I just wanna live my life

Make it all up on site

Cus all we got is every day

I just wanna live my life

Fuck around and take advise

Cus all we got is everyday

The Deep End (12am)

The trumpets and the horns been

putting her in the deep end

she’s dancing on her own

Dark denim with some sequins,

she was shaken and sweeping

Bonita Apple bum

Oh, so it seem

We’re living a Canadian Dream

I don’t want to feel like I’m a fiend

for ya cus I don’t fiend for much

She said baby whats the tea?

I said your no good for me

I got shrooms and lots a tree

When there no where else to be

Split the caps up equally

When your tryna hunt the breeze

Two step wit me for the free

Two step with me for the free

Wein a cycle

Tryna invite every word like the Bible

Im tryna see you now

Knowing where your from

But when I talk

The words ain’t really coming through

The feelings too impromptu

Its not in the way you speaking to me

Its the way it seem

We living in a corked up dream

I dont wanna feel like I’m a fiend

for ya cus I don’t fiend for much

She said baby whats the tea?

I said your no good for me

I got shrooms and lots a tree

When there no where else to be

Split the caps up equally

When your tryna hunt the breeze

Two step wit me for the free

Two step with me for the free

New Rochelle (1am)

I just read the room

Took a trip this afternoon

A cap off of the shroom

just sent me out the Cadillac!

Coulda been that Wishful thinking

Putting me in my location

Cus now I’m stuck in New Rochelle

But I’m tryna get to know you

As you can tell

Yeah I’m tryna get to know ya

Ouuu It’s so sensational

You make me feel at home

It’s so sensational

Now it’s 25 to 2

No way to read the room

The tiramisu kept me up all night with you

Cus it was laced with something

across the table (zooted)

Now we at a comedy club

So you smiling with your eyes

Cus we so much more than sleep deprived

But you never woulda seen me here if I was in the clear

Cus now I’m stuck in new Rochelle

But I’m tryna get to know you

As you can tell

Yeah I’m tryna get to know ya

Ouuu It’s so sensational

You make me feel at home

It’s so sensational

Ouuuuu It’s so sensational

You make me feel at home

It’s so sensational

Art Museum (2am)

If I was 10 toes down for you

Would you be down for me

When you running on empty?

The chances are you seen it all

But there ain’t no feeling like missing you

When I know that feeling is mutual

took the night train

Bout as far as it runs

Cus I’m too fried to drive you home

I’ve got nothing to lose,

but you’re not just anybody

No you’re nobodies muse

but I need you here right now

I feel a sense of synesthesia

whenever I see you

it’s like a powder blue candy

Still the chances are you’ve seen it all

Cus the words don’t feed in

To the things you do

And it’s way more scenic,

when I’m facing you

so I took a night train

about as far as it runs.

if you shoulder me then I’ll shoulder you

Cus I’ve got nothing to lose,

but you’re not just anybody

you’re nobodies muse

but I need you here right now

Alchemy (3am)

Alchemy

sorcery

The way you make me feel it all emotionally

Like when molecules and atoms moving openly

The way you captured my attention

There ain’t no chemistry in question

I Knew we had the same intentions

Initially…

The more I stay in touch the less I feel cast out to sea

I could say that with my chest or say it openly

But the way I feel for you ain’t said so easily

I’m at a loss for words

It’s what’s your doing to me

So go on and call us crazy then

We not spose to make sense

But in spite of it all

They wanna call us crazy

But we been in love

Whohhh

Some type of intensity

mistaken for a coincidence when is relevant to

how I’m feeling about ya

the timing been changing me serendipitously

I want to say accidents happen

Cus our energies matching

And the more I stay in touch

the less I sense it consciously

Ouuu The way I feel for you ain’t said so easily

i’m at a loss for words

through what you’re doing to me

So go on and call us crazy then

We not spose to make sense

But in spite of it all

They wanna call us crazy

But we been in love

Whoahhh

They wanna call us crazy

But we been in love

Ouuuu

Whoahhh

Flip a Coin (4am)

I’m at the bottom of your conscience

we were there for days

I caught a glimpse of something good

you in a better place

I see the passion knowing

you know longer catch strays

Cus you don’t

Small talk you

Only talk crazy

But

I still want you back

If Two sides

Still attract

I still want you back

Taking pages out of books you’ve never read before

Asking ‘what you done for me lately?’ like you needed more

Living life till it felt like something you ain’t ready for

Where do you draw the line?

You Laugh and you cry till the feelings passed

That was good enough for me

But I’m still longing for some words that last

In present company

Cus I still want you back

I still want you back

If Two sides

Still attract

I still want you back

The Hours: Night
