Gear - NINA / Online? Lyrics

I know a girl named Nina

And that's not her real name
But we'll run with it like a pair of scissors
I'm young, dumb, and so innocent
I make the perfect storm for the winter

As autumn ended I would
Be upended by her discontentment
Never no trip to the discotheque
And after fixing the Beamer I'm out of bread

So what's the next step?
I'm unsure, but she'll take it there without me
She scratch off the serial
She ain't being claimed by nobody

Well, it's calm I guess
I'm down for empowerment but not this energy
Would've been nice to know before I
Met your uncle and he joked and threatened me with

Knife crime. Punchline:
He must not know about you though
Careful don't leave no stains
Your furniture nouveau

Your family act like they
Tied in, like they really know Tuco.
They move foul when I'm moving to you
So my free throw easy like Giannis

I been leaning on you, yeah
I keep you right here by my side
Just like my life depended on it, yeah

But you stay loaded and you go off on anyone
There ain't no safety I could turn on for you

*Established!*

Swore the surgery that I had
As a kid would be my last
For a while, but I blinked
Then at 19, you come around

Talking to me like you'd hold me down
Doctors yelling from across the room
A hollow chorus crying "hold him down,"
Anesthetic, amputate

But ain't that what it's always been?
A dose of mediocrity
And in exchange you're getting all I am

Checking for the check and balance
But the world is full of dead accountants
To ruin me, she hell-bent
And a far cry from heaven-sent

Started off an early grad
Then became a stalling grad
Warring over 40 hours like I been
Shooting off in Stalingrad

Found a girl that's tryna give me besos
Sounding like she Stalin's dad
Told me every single lie but all of the
Truth was near a double-slash

And so I reach into my hidden stash
Rummaging, searching, pulling out extras
Funny thing about it all is wasn't a
Single one was extra, though

Money change they minds if you
Show em you can flex, but if she
Find out you faking money she finna
Hop right to the next one on you

Ok, now it's amazing to me
That I ever let somebody get to phasing a G
She like "why you gotta be so entertaining to me?
You know I care for you boy"

"But are you online?
Are you with me?
I'm holding you close
I won't drop you gently

Are you online?"
