Like This

I got short comings, we got more coming
What was in that shot cause I need more of it
Hit the ground runnin, drop it down for me
Couple thou on it, I might while on it
Young nigga act a fool but he talented
And the love and the work it's hard to balance them
All the time that I lost tryna salvage it
Man these niggas lost they swag that's some tragic shit
I'm a prince come smoke in one of my palaces
Go together like Pusha T and Malice did
Nah I don't love her

I was with the homies cause the homies will comfort
You know how it is
Dabbin too much call me wax payne
Her dad famous yo I only know her last name
And all these niggas on the bandwagon mad fake
You get the message, I learned my lesson

Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Ohhhhh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
Nooooo
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this

Disrespected, so neglectful
Kid from the uptown where we disrespectful
I smoke weed all the time get forgetful
Stay with me for the night I'll be gentle
And I tend to smash girls who don't give a f*ck
And drink twenty dollar vodka and red bulls
And she gotta a lot of baggage she ain't get to
And she say she got some problems she gon' get through
Well I'm like we all got our issues
Stay up all night smoke weed watch visuals
Thinking too much make it big when it's little
I'm the realest nigga out girl it's simple
You got questions, I got the answers
Drunk at the club spillin whiskey on the dancers
I need a purpose, she need a surface
Catch a car to the crib girl it's urgent

Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Ohhhhh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
Nooooo
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this

This is my shit
I need a girl to fly with
I know your man don't do you like this
I know you want to get high

Like this, like this, like this like this like this
Ohhhhh
I wish, but I never thought I'd get it like this
Nooooo
Like this, like this like this like, this
I wish, but I never thought I'd do it like this

The City

[Hook - Phoebe Ryan:]
In the city, I'm always awake
There's a symphony of music in the street
And I get high to drown it out
But it don't work, it just gets louder
In the city, in the city

[Verse 1 - Skizzy Mars:]
The big apple took a bite out of me
Look what I turned out to be
I wonder if my mama really means it when she says that she's proud of me
Or is she tripping, is she lying
Is she on to all my lies? Mean that shit ain't rocket science
I've been coming home at four, and my eyes been red as sirens
I miss slurring all my words when she asked me how my night went
I swear it's them white boys, it's them white boys
Everything they do is so much doper than my life been
I don't got that type of money, I don't got that finance
She's like, why you so lazy trying to get by
Back before I smoked, I wasn't even tryna get high
Cigarette breaks at lunch time
Bong rips to my face, I passed out at Dave's place
In the morning tryna get right
Nigga's got a curfew, you ain't ready for these bright lights

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]
You really changed, change is good
When you said don't let the city change you, I think it should
Come from different angles, see it different ways
I don't got the money, maybe we can make a trade
If I can make you laugh, you can spot me cash
What's the move on Tues? Yo I heard it's ave
These girls are kinda bougie, mom calls 'em fast
Some say you pretentious but I call it class
Prep school boys with their collars popped
Coming through the spot, always see you with your sleeves rolled up
Even with a uniform
I could never do the norm
How could I forget? I be on some shit
Now I rock sweats and I still get it
New kids never fit in, I wasn't any different
Had to get my mind right, wasn't ready for those bright lights

[Hook]

[Bridge x2 - Skizzy Mars:]
Let's do something dangerous
Break the rules, yeah let's shake it up
Let's do something dangerous
In the city that was made for us

[Hook]

Be Lazy

And I've been putting days in
And they got me in the Days Inn
And the shit that I've been making is amazing
And things are moving fast, it's changing
Working all week no breaks it was crazy
Deadlines deadlines they will never trade me
Come through the crib and be lazy
Come through the crib and be lazy with me

We can watch Netflix
Or we can just have sex
I know I hit you room mate
But don't worry that was last year
Always caught up in the past shit
Lay up line, she was practice
Apple TV put on a good show
She got the number for the good blow
I smoke a lot you can probably tell
Pop a perc now I'm high as hell
Neighbors getting annoyed by the smell
F*ck it though, f*ck em' know
You and me we can go anywhere we want to go
These niggas so unoriginal
I'll tell you anything you wanna know

And I've been putting days in
And they got me in the Days Inn
And the shit that I've been making is amazing
And things are moving fast, it's changing
Working all week no breaks it was crazy
Deadlines deadlines they will never trade me
Come through the crib and be lazy
Come through the crib and be lazy with me

She like, she like what you working with
Well I got the Xanax and the Percocet
We can really vibe out
I've been in the studio
Gotta take some time out
Bad bitch put her on time out
Stole her dad's Jaguar hope he doesn't find out
We ordered rent we don't dine out
First to cut, cut the line, then she cut the line out
And you know yo got my contact
When you ever need that
Tell the door man the penthouse
We stacking more green than the weed guy
And you know that shit loud too
And my pops say he proud too
Now he tell me get some bitches for the table
I was like "Ok I'll bring back two."

And I've been putting days in
And they got me in the Days Inn
And the shit that I've been making is amazing
And things are moving fast, it's changing
Working all week no breaks it was crazy
Deadlines deadlines they will never trade me
Come through the crib and be lazy
Come through the crib and be lazy with me

Be lazy, be lazy with me
Be lazy, be lazy baby
Be lazy ooh ooh ooh
Be lazy

And I've been putting days in
And they got me in the Days Inn
And the shit that I've been making is amazing
And things are moving fast, it's changing
Working all week no breaks it was crazy
Deadlines deadlines they will never trade me
Come through the crib and be lazy
Come through the crib and be lazy with me

Do You There

[Verse 1 - Skizzy Mars:]
Rolling down these desert hills
Rolling up these dollar bills
All the drinks that we've been drinking strong as f*ck, girl
I'm not gon' lie, I just wanna f*ck, girl
And the waitress is taking too long
Let's hit your spot, mine's too far
Pop another stick, I'm getting bolder
Moncler on, the city's getting colder
You don't need no makeup girl, you're natural
Her friend pissing me off, she just asked for blow
Bitch I gave you some, why you back for more?
She a fiend, nineteen, with a past to show
Tryna take you to the W after show
And play you all my new shit, we could really do shit
Got the Uber on the way, she don't even have to know
Got a French dimepiece, yeah we international

[Hook - Marc E. Bassy:]
If you want it in L.A, I can do you there
If you want it in the Bay, I can do you there
Everywhere that you be, girl
Everywhere that you stay
Role play, reality, we stay acting up

If you want it in NY, I can do you there
If you want it in the Chi, I can do you there
Everywhere that you be, girl
Everywhere that you stay
Role play, reality, we stay acting up

[Verse 2 - Skizzy Mars:]
You holdin' down that sex appeal
This foreplay's to show you how I feel
Giuseppe's on your feet, no you're not playin'
Don't need to run around, girl I'm not chasin'
Girl if you're lonely, I'll be there by your side
Can't stay long, different city every night
But you show me something good after a long day
Got Rosé, we got Dom P, no Andre
Drinking all this Absinthe, it's like I'm here but my body's absent
You're the type to have your cake and eat it
You said he had a record, let me beat it
Your man's a flop, you need you a replacement
I'm that type to just get back to basics
Look at what I'll give you, won't you take it?
In a penthouse, they in the basement

[Hook - Marc E. Bassy]

[Verse 3 - Skizzy Mars:]
We throw cigarettes off my terrace for entertainment
She know why she came, yo, there's no explaining
Always text her hours later with no explanation
Baby, I'm a busy man, I was prolly faded
I got this girl in Florida
I smash her friend whenever I get bored of her
And I got this girl out in the Bay
I don't know how many bars she takes
And shout out my girl Eileen
Hooked on drugs in Seattle, I wish I was smashing
And word to Laura, live I'm from Atlanta
I know you told your friends, but I still forgive ya
I'm tryna f*ck a million girls, tryna f*cking change the world
You a lady in the streets, red lipstick and pearls
Don't kiss me in public, bitch I barely know you
But get you in the room, I'mma f*ck you like I know you

[Hook - Marc E. Bassy]

Down

[Intro:]
You could be
You could [x3]
Be down for
Down, down down

[Hook - Skizzy Mars:]
Uh, I mean what's to understand?
Always knew I had it coming
All I needed was a plan ahh no
Now all these new girls wanna be down
(Down, down, down down)
But nah, nah
Middle finger and a blunt
Motherf*ck a non-believer
On my mama, word to God, ahh no
Nigga you will never ever be
(Down, down, down down)

[Verse 1 - Skizzy Mars:]
Smoking tropical flavored swishers
Walk in, they taking pictures
Say I'm her man, I'm saying it's unofficial
I was f*cking with a blonde in the Saint-Laurent
We could get it on in my living room
Raw shit, I'm on
She's like "but on the radio you don't have a song"
Give me some time baby, I'll prove you wrong
Baby you could have it all, in like two years
Maybe three, maybe four, shit I take my time!
I been doing tables at 1 Oak
And up and down
I was 15 in there at night just f*cking around
Ain't a surprise, boys telling you lies
I'm from the city where niggas don't need to drive
We hop on the subway, my girl is on runways
She say she go to class but never on Mondays
Baby, I'm that nigga that you realize one day
You'd be foolish to neglect it
I'm very well respected

[Hook - Skizzy Mars]

[Verse 2 - QuESt:]
Oh my, no lie, as I've come to expected
Open ended suggestions you keep texting
Like who you impressing?
F*cking up all these first impressions
I just thought you had the sense to know who you could be in bed with
Instead this sense of entitlement
Got us out on some idle tip
I'm committed when it's convenient
You stuck on this title shit, talking David Bridals and shit
What you want from a nigga?
Never give it up but still love to flaunt for a nigga
Good lord, would love to f*ck you on tour
But you too stuck on bullshit and fall in love with the lord
And all these f*ck niggas showing up, slow to adjust
Late to the party, I get it
You chose to sleep in, no need to see if he's sorry
Apologies for the brash demeanor
The paper's coming in, the pasture's looking so much greener
And time is money
That's word
To any and everybody who ever quoted
I swear you could've been down
And what's worse is you'll never notice
What's up?

[Hook]

[Outro - Devon Baldwin:]
I've been asking you to stay
But no matter what I say
You can't see that I'm the one you're looking for
I can't take the games you play
When you look the other way
I'm not sure if I can take this anymore
Can't you see?
I could be?
Everything you want and more
Let me be what you need
Don't you know that I adore you?
Boy you know that I could be down for you
Let me be the one that you're down for too

Time

[Chorus - Olivver the Kid:]
Wasting all of this time
I don't mind (mind, yeah no no)
Wasting all this of time
I don't, I said I don't mind

[Verse 1 - Skizzy Mars:]
Tell me who the most consistent
Is when I leave she be so persistent
Crib overseas cause my bitch is foreign
Please light the weed get to problem solving
Never mind school we got lots of knowledge
She got some big dreams but she stuck in college
Look me in the eye said you speak
Like you got this shit all figured out (all figured out)
Keenan got the Audi and we all liquored out
Took one dab now she all trippin' out
SportsCenter anchor this a whole different route
She mad I live at home, like you ever moving out
Bitch, patience is the key
I know I gotta lay up but I'm taking it from three
I'm pacing victory
Just wait and see, time is of the essence
Wasting never wasted, I'm taking this for me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - G-Eazy:]
Tell me who the most consistent
Is tell her chill, be home in an instant
I took her out for dinner, called the Uber; see it yet?
Look at me and laugh, she say "you ain't copped the Beamer yet?"
Selling records now, ain't you supposed to flex more?
Playing in like 16 countries on my next tour
She said "I get it but at least could send a text more
If you got time for the music, what's the rest for?"
Everything in due time, patience is a virtue
Thinking about what other people got should never hurt you
If you're too weak your heart gets broken like a curfew
Anything worth having always takes some time to pursue
Nothing comes fast except a virgin
Can never take a shortcut, I'm not that type of person
If you love what you have, well then what's the point of searching?
I ever hear you cheatin' it's a wrap like a turban
Quick visits here and there, hope it helps still
I know she longs for commitment and something else real
I'm never around, she look like she on the shelf still
Told me "you don't cop a ring soon, someone else will"

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Skizzy Mars:]
Tell me who the most consistent
B gotta leave cause I need my distance
Still feeling different, missing Pops on Christmas
Still spit the truth and the youth will listen
Niggas after cheese, niggas on a mission
Make 'em cooler now, I'm the new edition
5'5" LA girl, cute with dimples
It's not complicated, yo, it's super simple
Now Skizzy be the man wanna see you doing good
I don't wanna get rich, leave you in the hood
Girl in my eyes you the dopest
Reason why I love you cause you always keep focused
And I'm always stressing but you know I keep hoping
Had the door closed now you always keep open
Keep smoking, keep motion
It's called progress, take breaks but not yet
Don't take it out of context
But

[Chorus]

To The Bottom

[Verse 1 - Skizzy Mars:]
Don't think if you thinkin' wrong
This the type of song you could sing along
This the type of song you relate to
She wouldn't talk much
Hit the bong, had a breakthrough
Ooh one and the joint we should be alone
Don't say nothin' foul, you on speakerphone
It's just the homies and I told em that you comin' thru
Leave the club at 1 or 2, probably leave at 1 or 2
Keep it casual, bitches mad at you
Keep it pushin' girl, and move it lateral
I know you been weird
So baby why you actin' cool?
Why you actin' coy, girl I ain't a fool
Let's get it, but only if you wit it
And I hate commitment
And man I need forgiveness
And she gon' say I did some shit
I probably really didn't
It's too late, but now I really did it

[Hook - Charlie Brand:]
Let's get down to the bottom of this
Tonight, while you are gone
Tomorrow things will look different, I know
If I make it back home

[Verse 2 - Skizzy:]
Yeah, tryna make it to the promised land
Feelin' on shorty's butt, drink is in the other hand
Aggressive when I drink too much
Hopin' that she understand
But I know she understand
Shorty I'm the f*ckin' man
And I say that cause I always do deliver
Well maybe I should chill and reconsider
These niggas can't compete, they resumes is weak
Drivin' somewhere cool, the city with dumb heat
Shorty wanna dance, I'm a little bit clumsy
You got your boobs enhanced, they look at little bit bigger
And I know you got these niggas all over you
But she got a [?] and I'm a little bit iller
Put the bottle in the freezer, a little bit chiller
We need something to mix the weed with
Stay up til 7 and watch the sunrise, all night with the weed lit
Cookin' breakfast in my flannel, isn't the view scenic?

[Hook]

[Bridge - Charlie Brand:]
I'm thinkin' of myself
No room for anyone else
Forgotten of my head
My girlfriend and my house

[Hook]
