Algorhythm

Supercomputer status, walkin' along streets
Everyone is an addict, stumbling, concrete
What was the motivation? Constant communication
Everybody wanna get chose like Moses
Came out Mother Earth smelling like roses
Summon the new edition, made it way too efficient
Made us the guinea pig, and did it with no permission
Told it to call a friend, didn't tell it to listen
So very scary, so binary, zero or one
Like or dislike, coal mine canary
I dream in color, not black and white
You sell your daughter on that data stream
Dopamine make it hit now
Humans don't understand, humans gon' sell a lie
Humans gotta survive, we know we gon' die
Nothing can live forever, you know we gon' try
Life is it worth it? The algorhythm is perfect

Everybody (everybody)
Move your body, now do it (now do it)
Here is something
That's gonna make you move and groove
(Please don't lose that tempo) Algorhythm
(Moving how they say so) Algorhythm

Step, step, slide, slide
Move your body from side to side
Clap your hands, don't spite the vibe
Keep on moving, you might survive
Pressure is to evolve, take a bite of the apple
We crush it into the sauce, how do we know the cost?
How do we know the truth without feeling what could be false?
Freedom of being wrong, freedom of being lost

Wait a minute, wait a minute (wait a minute, wait a minute)
Feeling like thr devil did it (devil did it)
Lord willin', I'ma step to it (step to it)
You gon' fall behind if you can't do it
Ooh, we eating good over here now (yeah)
Is you eating good over there now? (No)
Human ain't the move, do I care now?
Looking for something worth it, the algorhythm is perfect

Everybody (everybody)
Move your body, now do it (now do it)
Here is something
That's gonna make you move and groove
(Please don't lose that tempo) Algorhythm
(Moving how they say so) Algorhythm

Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Algorhythm
Algorhythm (yeah, yeah)

Time

Seven billion people
Tryna free themselves
Said a billion prayers
Tryna save myself
I can see it coming
But it's moving fast

Been through a hurricane
With the sunroof down
Dancing with no pain
We wait to see the sunrise
It's a holiday, hey
When you're around (when you're around)
Breathe of fresh air, like a cold winter breeze
And I can feel it slow down, oh

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems
Maybe the sky will fall down on tomorrow
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time
Oh, time, time, yeah

Running after something
But I don't know what
Am I running to?
Too afraid to stop
Hundred miles an hour
With no seat belt on
Time is everlasting
I can't wait that long

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems
Maybe the sky will fall down on tomorrow
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time

My feet are falling to the bottom of the ocean
Running out of time, out of time, uh, oh yeah
High on motion, I can feel it moving forward
Running out of time, running out
Running out, running out of time

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems
Maybe the skies will fall down on tomorrow
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time

Time
It's about power (time)
All about power (time)
Oh, I'm in time
I'm just tryna feel it (time)
Get a little bit stronger
Gotta go all out (time)
A nigga gon' ball out
Try not to fall out
Tryna be better
Gotta get better (time)
Too many pressure
Nigga need pressure
People need pressure

Running out of time
We're running
Running out of time
We're running
Running out of time
We're running

Uh
Someone made a mess in my account (someone sound like me, yes)
Someone bought a Patek in a panic (yes, yes)
Forty Bentley addict, I go manic (oh no)
Hit the oochie-coochie 'til it's slanted, ooh
I'm gon' beat it up, ooh, baby
I'm gon' make your dreams come, baby
Ayy, you the one who talkin' all that trash (you the one who talkin' all that trash)
Forty-five, I'll twenty-eight that ass (ooh)
You can set the snow on fire (yeah, ooh)
You smell like a peach papaya
She said, "eat this psilocybin, I'ma be right back"
I'm like, "aight" (aight)
"Ayy, I don't know what psilocybin is" (no)
"This better not be no molly"
She just laughed and closed the door
Dark chocolate, sea salt
I took a bite
She said, "we gon' have a special night"
I said, "who you telling, girl? I know that"
Tracee Ellis with it when you throw back (ooh, yeah)
Girl, I see your (shadow move)
Ooh, you're so divine (yes, you are)
And them panties came off (ooh, yes they did)
I'ma give you some privacy (uh)
Pictures with your stepsisters (hmm)
N. K. Jemisin with you, uh
Got the All About Love, on some bell hooks
Then I turned to a dirty look, uh (meow)
Ayy, why your cat lookin' at me sideways?
"Sing to her"
I said, "nah, I'll put on the radio though"
(I might let you go)
Lay back on my back (uh), vibrate
My ex on some BS
She walked out the closet
Girl, never write a check I can't deposit
She said, "boy, stop, let's go walkin'" (let's go walkin')
"You wanna be outside for this"
We just talkin'
Dogpark looking like a Trader Joe's (roof, roof)
Papillon, mmh, thought you hated those
Other girls, uh, let they shady show
Every time we walk around
They say, "how she gonna hold him down?" No
They don't know what they missing
Most these niggas wanna run around with these SZAs (yeah)
I prefer to just stroll the park with this Chaka
Baby girl was just diggin' all in my pockets (all in my pockets)
I was going hard (by the magic hour)
We were holdin' hands, tried to make me understand (yeah)
Make girls fall in love, that's my (magic power), yes
Everybody's jealous I won't ease it with these colors
Ooh, I wanna see it in the moonlight
Yellow, red, orange robe, askin' for donation (oh)
I'm not a tourist, nigga, this is not vacation
(I am not a tourist, nigga, this is not vacation)
Vibrate
Goddamn, man, this girl goin' crazy on my Motorola
She said, "let me answer it" (let me answer)
Then she'll know it's over (ooh)
Girl, you cancerous, you gon' ruin my life
Let me get this paperweight, then come be my wife
She just laughed and touched my face (what you mean?)
You don't understand what this is (oh wait, wait, wait, wait)
I ain't lookin' for another lifetime
Let's just stay here and enjoy the great design
Had the Iceberg tucked in my waist (bling)
F*ck a omelet, you can eat off my face (no)
I just thought that we were vibin'
You don't love her, then you lyin'
Come and go and you get tulips
Put a finger to my two lips (it's okay)
Ooh, you got it bad, just remember what we had
You can set the snow on fire
The reason that your suffer is desire (huh)
The reason that I'm moving with this ooh-wee
I was lovin' life, I got too deep (I was too deep)
Woke up in my room, she was long gone
Toni singing me another sad song (ooh)
Eternity
Oh, until we meet again

This ain't special, tell me what you want
This ain't special, baby, this is fun
This ain't special, tell me what you want
This ain't special, baby, this is fun

Drop it off (21), let me see if your booty soft
Gold mouth (hold up, hold up), yes, I'm from the Dirty South
Lights out (straight up), summertime, I brought the ice out (21)
Pipes out (on God), all my shooters came from moscow
Got a girl in Harvard, I talk proper when I call her (21)
Baby, I'm a baller, ain't no way that I can rob ya (straight up)
She don't want no new friends, she just tryna buy her a new Benz (on God)
I've been counting M's, me and Ben Franklin damn near kin (on God)
Put my mind to it and I did it, them facts (21)
Talkin' 'bout your brother to get some pussy, that's wack (straight up)
The police keep harassin' 'cause I'm rich and I'm black (straight up)
They mad 'cause I made myself a boss without crack (on God)
I ain't trippin', boy, I'm Lamborghini whippin' (21, 21)
Straight up out the trenches, money made me ign'ant (it did)
I'm on a private jet eatin' Popeyes Chicken (21)
I be flexin' like I'm eatin' Popeye's spinach (21, 21, 21)

Morning dew
Percolating and still have a little time for Sunday, ooh
(So baby, let's take it back to the crib)
(Back to the, back, back to the)

Baby, I might let you go
Babe, baby, no matter what
And like I switch the other side of me
Baby got a whole lotta ride on me
Babe, baby, let's take it back to crib
Back, back to the crib
Back, back to the, babe

Baby, baby, no matter what
And I can, I can, I can, I can
To the crib

And no one seen them
Baby, I, baby, baby, I

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me tell you something true

I remember back when I was six years old
Daddy said "the world's so cold"
"There is something that you should know", uh
"You're so gorgeous", thank you daddy
"Nothing's really worth your time"
"But someday soon you just might find"
"The truth about the world's design", oh

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
And I know that, yeah

Now remember
You do what the hell you want
But someone's gonna smell your funk
You're exactly what they want (truth)
To be happy
Really means that someone else ain't
And balance ain't a one-food plate
Everything is give and take, oh oh

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change your truth, I can't get you used to this
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
And I know

Go' do it like this, OK
Shoulder shake, whoa (oh no)
Do it in and out, ayy, ayy

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
Can't get you used to this, no no no no
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
Ooh, give it to me now
Bring the strings back

To be beautiful is to be hunted
We are beautiful, yeah
That's so beautiful
That's so beautiful

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
Busting out bales I've been busting all day
Busting out bales, we were selling that hay
We been' movin' that snow, I was riding that sleigh
Double cup C's had to put them in the safe
Got the semi on deck, .45, AK
Servin' up fiend, I remember that J
Brought his daughter to the house, I was cryin' all day
L's rolled up and I'm packing that heat
12 roll up and I'm slapping them feet
We was only sixteen, he was looking at three
Now we looking at life, pray to God he don't speak
Water drip rich, so we gave 'em that leak
Bales got my baby mama nails on fleek
I was seven years old, daddy thrown in the clink
Said "life ain't fair, everybody gon' cheat"

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo

Chicken coupe, chicken soup, I got the wave
Move so smooth like butter, like shea
Crime don't pay, I ain't heard what they say
Quarter brick, half a brick, whole brick, ayy
Cotton ball white like hen house floors
Could've been broke, this the life I chose
They was in school, I was stirrin' that pot
Daddy couldn't come, home I was taking that spot
Life move fast, like a movie, so quick
Dark-skinned beauty got a booty so thick
She a down-home chick, she'll hit that lick
Had to drop my old girl, 'cause she think that she slick
I ain't seen him in a minute, so I think he might flip
Had to hit him with the stick, man you niggas ain't, woo
If I couldn't move bricks I don't know what I'd do
I ain't worry 'bout mine, we can worry 'bout you

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo

Why go to the party?
Why go to the party?
Why go to the party at all?

Two shots and a body
Two shots and a body
Two shots and a body involved

Where are those subtle men?
With the decency to might be wrong
Where are those winter girls?
Who corrected, say women
I'm sorry
Forgiven

Why would we ever change?
Planets never see a day that isn't towards the Sun
Bliss is a cheap emotion
Everyone here seems to afford
So I don't know why I'm here without you, you

Why go to the party?
Why go to the party?
Why go to the party at all?

When you're not invited
You take what you're given
Some wait everyday for the call
Grief is a standing ocean
And I never swam unless you did
So I don't know why I'm here without you
I miss you

Why go to the party?
Why go to the party?
Why go to the party at all? (You)

I call to a spirit
You may never hear it
How else could I keep you alive? Alive

'Cause it's hard for me to love myself without you here
'Cause the days are slow but the years are fast
I wonder when I'll feel your smile

Feels Like Summer

Woo, ey
Woo, ey

You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feel like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer
You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
I feel like summer (ey)
She feel like summer
This feel like summer
I feel like summer

Seven billion souls that move around the sun
Rolling faster, faster, not a chance to slow down
Slow down
Men who made machines that want what they decide
Parents tryna tell the children please slow down
Slow down

I know
Oh, I know you know that pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
(Ooo, I hope this world will change)
But it just seems the same
(It feels like the same)

You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feel like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer

Every day gets hotter than the one before
Running out of water, it's about to go down
Go down
Air that kill the bees that we depend upon
Birds were made for singing, wakin' up to no sound
No sound

I know
Oh, I know you know my pain (woah, no no no)
I'm hopin' that this world will change
(This world will change, yeah)
But it just seems the same (woah)

I know
Oh, I hope we change
I really thought this world could change
But it seems like the same

I know
Oh, my mind is still the same
I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change
