All the small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating
Say it ain't so
I will not go
Turn the lights off
Carry me home
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Late night come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares
Say it ain't so
I will not go
Turn the lights off
Carry me home
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Say it ain't so
I will not go
Turn the lights off
Carry me home
Keep your lips still
I'll be your thrill
The night will go on
My little windmill
Say it ain't so
(Na-na, na-na) I will not go
(Na-na, na-na, na-na) Turn the lights off
(Na-na, na-na) Carry me home
Keep your lips still
(Na-na, na-na) I'll be your thrill
(Na-na, na-na, na-na) The night will go on, the night will go on
(Na-na, na-na) My little windmill
I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
I said I was the cops and your husband's in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
That's about the time she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never wanna act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy
A bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well, everyone I know has got a reason
To say
Put the past away
Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
And well, he's on the table
And he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they are doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I
I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
We can put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Understand
Can you put the past away?
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
I would understand
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
And I would understand
Can I Graduate,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
I've been living on for so long,
Can I Graduate,
To the bastard talking down to me,
Your whipping boy calamity,
Cross your fingers, I'm going to knock it all down,
Can I Graduate,
Echo fading, We can't let go,
She goes walking by in slow mo',
Sell your Heart out for a buck,
Go on, Fade out, Before I get stuck.
Talking to somebody like you,
Do you live the days you go through,
Will this song live on long after we do,
Can I Graduate.
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
Can 1 get my punk-ass off the street.
Won't die on the vine I want to knock it all down,
Can I Graduate,
Echo fading, Candle blow,
Did you flash out long ago,
Cross my fingers, I don't know someone poked you down below.
Can I Graduate,
Can I get my punk-ass off the street,
Can I look into the faces that I meet,
I'm not waiting here for you to die,
Will this song live on long after we do.
I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me
Yeah
Senseless sight to see
Yeah
Senseless sight to see
Ayy
Feelin' young but they treat me like the OG
And they want the tea on me, I swear these bitches nosy
Said he put some money on my head, I guess we gon' see
I won't put no money on his head, my niggas owe me
I gotta be single for a while, you can't control me
Uno, dos, tres, in a race, they can't hold me
And I show my face in a case so you know it's me
Imitation isn't flattery, it's just annoyin' me
And I'm too about it
And the dirt that they threw on my name
Turned to soil and I grew up out it
Time for y'all to figure out what y'all gon' do about it
Big wheels keep rollin', rollin'
I'm outside, 29, G5, seaside
I been losin' friends and findin' peace
But honestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever heard one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
Honestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
Look, don't invite me over if you throw another pity party
Lookin' back, it's hard to tell you where I started
I don't know who love me, but I know that it ain't everybody
I can never love her, she a busy body
Baby, if you want me, can't be turnin' up with everybody, nah
Can't be fuckin' on just anybody, yeah
I got feelings for you, that's the thing about it, yeah
You know that, it's somethin' when I sing about it, yeah
Momma used to be on disability but gave this ability
And now she walkin' with her head high and her back straight
I don't think you feelin', I'm out here
Bein' everything they said I wouldn't be and couldn't be
I don't know what happened to them guys that said they would be
I still see you at the top and they misunderstood me
I hold no resentment in my heart, that's that maturity
And we don't keep on us anymore, it's with security
I'm outside (yeah), 29 (yeah), G5, seaside
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
But honestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever heard one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside (Southside)
I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
Honestly, that sound like a fair trade to me
I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me (I'm trying)
Senseless sight to see
Senseless sight to see (Outside)
Rollin' in a Rolls and ain't no saftey
Ridin', engine revvin'
Gotta roll over to you gotta get my release
Spread your legs downtown as I'm going out to eat
You can hear the raw sounds when it rock up in your sleep
I'ma roll on her 'fore I let her roll on me
Split this one down the middle, wake up in a harmony (sick)
Worried sick, I'm sick of worryin' (sick, sick)
It's just a worryin', I'd rather bury them
I'm talkin' fake friends and skeletons (yeah)
Early morning, shoulder rubs and lawyer signed the settlement
I'm never settling this shit get darker then my melanin
At the crib all by myself, this shit been cavin' in
Scrolling through my call log by emojis how I'm saving 'em
Del Mar as the beach where my hoe was but I favorite them
That butterfly emoji hold me down and all my babies dem
Backwood in your face, won't push away, he got the K on him
I broke bread instead of watchin' niggas break down (break it)
They sent a couple bitches too like I'm from Cape Town
Know they position, you know ass up with the face down (let's go)
I'm never content, two mil' an event, I get it frequent
I'm make an expense, to me it's just sense
I'm droppin' the top, no tint for the whip
I'm dropping the top 'cause bro tried to spin
She dropping the top she back again
Fuck her 'cause she at the crib again, company
I let it slide when I really should slid
After all the shit I did
Look at how they repaying me back
Now fall out my real
Tell me what kind of payment is that?
I put that on my kid and my trust
Yeah, it is what it is
I'm outside, 29, G5, (ah-ah-ah), seaside
I been losing friends and finding peace
But honestly that sounds like a fair trade to me
If I ever heard one then I'm still here
Outside, front line, Southside
I been losing friends and finding peace
Honestly, that sounds like a fair trade to me
I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me
Senseless sight to see
Senseless sight to see
Up on a mountain (up on a mountain)
Search through the valley (search through the valley)
You hear me calling (you hear me calling)
Won't you come find me? (Won't you come find me?)
Please don't forsake me (please don't forsake me)
All of a sudden (all of a sudden)
My heart is breaking (breaking)I feel it coming, I, I
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
Give me a day or two
To think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do
Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue?
When you said you were passing through
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to
Be cool about what I was telling you
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do
And I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware that you
Made me miserable
So if you really wanna know
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence
You scared me to death but I'm wasting my breath
'Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends so I
Shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone
Take what you want
Take everything
Take what you want
Take what you want
Better that I change my number so you can't explain
Violence in the night, violence in the night
Priors, priors, do you have any product?
Well, that one time
I'll be honest, I'll be honest
We all liars
Let it go
I'll be honest, we all liars
I'll be honest, we all liars
I'm pulled over and I got priors
Guess we goin' down, guess who's goin' to jail?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
God gon' post my bail tonight
[Kanye West & Francis And The Lights:]
Don't you curse at me on text, why you try to hit the flex?
I hold up, like, "What?"
I scroll, I scroll up like, "Next"
Guess who's getting 'exed?
Like, next
Guess who's getting 'exed?
You made a choice that's your bad, single life ain't so bad
But we ain't finna go there
Something's off, I'll tell you why
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
What a grand plan to sell you out
I could scream and shout, let it out
I'll be honest, we all liars
I'll be honest, we all liars
I'm pulled over and I got priors
Guess we goin' down, guess who's goin' to jail?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
God gon' post my bail tonight
God in my cell, that's my celly
Made in the image of God, that's a selfie
Pray five times a day, so many felonies
Who gon' post my bail? Lord, help me
Hol' up, Donda, I'm with your baby when I touch back road
Told him, "Stop all of that red cap, we goin' home"
Not me with all of these sins, castin' stones
This might be the return of The Throne (Throne)
Hova and Yeezus, like Moses and Jesus
You are not in control of my thesis
You already know what I think 'bout think pieces
Before you ask, he already told you who he think he is
Don't try to jail my thoughts and think pre-cents
I can't be controlled with programs and presets
Reset
On my cell, in my cell tonight
Don't have to see you to touch you
This is what braille look like, it's on sight
If they take me to jail, call my girl, tell her send my mail
We know what Hell look like
Still, it's a hell of a life, yikes
[Kanye West:]
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
Guess who's goin' to jail tonight?
God gon' post my bail tonight
Listen good
I don't have nobody
But what I might feel are the sounds of sanity
Hoping what I hear, loops itself continuously
Then I wont be afraid
No no
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Why must it feel so wrong when I try and do right, do right
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
Look at me
You tell me
Just what you see
Am I, someone whom, you may love, or enemy
Am I speakin' for, you and yours, or someone else
I need some answers
Yeah yeah
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Why must it feel so wrong when I try and do right, do right
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
My world turns
Flippin' the bird
To the ones who figure, me
Outcast no not the duo
Back in Shaker heights
When they knew who
Though little brother was a strange one
Boo hoo
Cry me a river hater
Look who traveled out an igloo
Cold cold world wasn't fit for me at, all
Look at where I stand at
Tall, Cutcha' my Kid Cudi bisohs
Mute muthafucka' back home
Quick pause
Gargle on my mayo
Look at me I bet I'm the one you think to fail
Floatin' in my mind
No sail
Ahoy
Ahoy
Listen Good
I don't need nobody
This is what you feel are the sounds of insanity
Hopin' what I hear loops itself to finish me
No I wont be afraid
Hey hey
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Why must it feel so wrong when I try and do right, do right
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo
Why must it feel so right when I know that it's wrong,
It's wrong
When will I ever learn from the words in my songs
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo.
Doesn't this guitar sound so good?
Mmh, mmh-mh
So sweet

Off-Season
Let's work, hey
Plottin' my escape, this game ridin'-ridin' faith
Got a couple M's hidin' in the safe
Imagination turned a Honda into Wraith
I was doin' 80 on the interstate
Tryna make it back before my class started
Country n- never seen a passport
'Til I popped off and got a bag for it
Now I'm at the Gardens sittin' half court
Watchin' Jr. catch it off the backboard
'Ville n- never seen nothin'
'Cept a triple-triple bean jumpin'
Good-good leave a fiend crumpin'
Made it out, it gotta mean somethin'
Either you gon' hustle hard
A n- Uncle Sam got your a- re-enlisting
Two-six, murder scene pumpin'
Better leave it tucked, 'cause y'ain't dumpin'
Pow, pow, n-, he slumpy
12 comin', we ain't seen nothin'
Time change, n- ain't rumblin' no more
Nah, what for? Hungry for more
If you solo these vocals, listen close and you can hear grumblin'
Bow-tie and I'm still munchin'
Big bag, never fear fumblin'
Want smoke? N- don't choke
I'm a whole nico-nicotine company
Dreamville the only, not a Navy
How could you ever try to play me?
Kill 'em on a song walk up out the booth
Do the Westbrook rock-a-baby
I never fall out with the bro
Hate when your family turn into foe
We had a penthouse on the road
Interior decorated with the h-
Just like a multiple-choice getting chose
My n- like "Eenie, meenie, minee, moe"
Scoop up a dime-piece like we homeless
Then we gon' send 'em back pigeon-toed
Out of the concrete was a rose and windows was cold
Had to go over and stand by the stove
We from the Southeast, n- know
This where the opps creep real slow
Won't vote but they mob deep with the poles
I punch the time sheet, not no more
And now my assigned seat is a throne
Plottin' my escape, this game ridin'-ridin' faith
Got a couple M's hidin' in the safe
Imagination turned a Honda into Wraith
I was doin' 80 on the interstate
Tryna make it back before my class started
Country n- never seen a passport
'Til I popped off and got a bag for it
Now I'm at the Gardens sittin' half court
Watchin' Jr. catch it off the backboard
'Ville n- never seen nothin'
'Cept a triple-triple bean jumpin'
Good-good leave a fiend crumpin'
Made it out, it gotta mean somethin'
Made it out, it gotta mean somethin'
Made it out, it gotta mean somethin'
Bada-ba, bada-ba, bada-ba, ah-ah
