La radio sorride piano

La porta gira entra il sole
Tacchi leggeri sul pavimento
Tutto sembra già possibile
Senza dirlo apertamente

Un passo avanti uno indietro
Il ritmo nasce da sé
Non serve fare rumore
Quando il corpo sa perché

Un battito poi due
E tutto parte da qui

Muoviti così
Senza pensarci troppo
Lascia andare
Vieni un po’ più vicino
Muoviti così
Con quel sorriso lì
La giornata cambia
Se la prendi così

Le vetrine fanno l’occhiolino
La città gioca con noi
Ogni sguardo è una promessa
Che non chiede mai di più

La musica entra leggera
Ti prende senza far male
È una danza quotidiana
Che ti viene naturale

Un battito poi due
Il resto viene da sé

Muoviti così
Senza pensarci troppo
Lascia andare
Vieni un po’ più vicino
Muoviti così
Con quel sorriso lì
La giornata cambia
Se la prendi così

Ah
Così va bene
Ah
Non serve altro

Muoviti così

La radio resta accesa

Boy you come around like you own the scene
Talking like you know what my body means

You play the trouble like a sweet routine
Acting like a king with a lost crown dream
Every time you step you distort my plan
But you disappear when I reach your hand

I won’t fall just ’cause you say my name
If you want more show me you can claim
I’m not a prize for your little game
Give me something real or stay in your lane

If you want my fire light it with truth
I don’t dance for someone who hides the proof
If you want my rhythm move with no fear
I can give you something you’ll keep for years
If you want my fire light it with truth
Don’t come closer if you’re gonna dilute
You keep staring like you want the cue
But you lose your courage when I look at you

You say you’re ready but you hesitate
Talking pretty words that evaporate
You push the story but you lose the plot
Boy I know your type and I know what’s not

I won’t fall just ’cause you say my name
If you want more show me you can claim
I’m not a prize for your little game
Give me something real or stay in your lane

If you want my fire light it with truth
I don’t dance for someone who hides the proof
If you want my rhythm move with no fear
I can give you something you’ll keep for years
If you want my fire light it with truth
Don’t come closer if you’re gonna dilute
You keep staring like you want the cue
But you lose your courage when I look at you

I’m not here to bend for a fragile vow
If you want a chance better take it now
I won’t chase the words that you rearrange
If you want my spark then you gotta change

If you want my fire choose what you do
’Cause the moment’s burning — and it’s up to you

Ladies and gentlemen
From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party
They call him
Disco Machiavelli

Not a prince
Not a saint
Just trouble in a velvet jacket

He walks in late with a golden cane
White silk shirt and a champagne stain
Everybody knows but nobody tells
He buys bad luck and sells it well

Midnight phone no caller ID
Three black cars on a one-way street
He says “my dear don’t follow the rules”
Then disappears by the swimming pool

He’s got the city on a string
He makes the mirror wanna sing
Too much charm too much heat
Dancing like a scandal in the street

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Nicht so schnell mein Freund

She met him once at the Hotel Noir
Red wine smile and a stolen car
He said “love is politics darling you’ll see”
Then left her name on the balcony

Velvet gloves dangerous plans
Kissing rings on invisible hands
He don’t dance he negotiates
With the DJ and the city gates

He’s got the night under control
Silver shoes and a borrowed soul
Too much style too much speed
Living like the headline of the week

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Signorina
Listen carefully
Power is a dance floor
And everybody pays entry

He said it with a smile
Then he vanished in the bassline

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Dance with the devil
But dress like heaven

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Too much drama
Too much leather

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Velvet panic
Television confetti

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
He was here for a minute
He’s a legend now

From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party

Disco Machiavelli

Ciao baby ciao

Yeah
No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
No

Me llamas tarde
I let it ring
Ya no me compras
With anything

Tenías mi tiempo
Tenías mi voz
Now you get silence
Cuando digo adiós

No soy la misma
You knew before
Cerré tu puerta
Without a war

Mira mi cara
Mira bien
Perdiste todo
Por no querer

I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez

No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Tu foto sigue
But not with me
Me veo más fuerte
Since I got free

No busco drama
No busco show
Si preguntan por mí
Tell them I glow

Tengo mis planes
Tengo mi paz
Tú fuiste casi
But never enough

I don’t do revenge
I don’t do regret
Solo camino
Y tú no estás

I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez

No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

No quiero flores
No quiero explanation
You had my heart
You missed the location

No necesito
Tu versión
I got my body
Back on control

Si tú me ves
Don’t come too close
I’m not your girl
Ya se acabó

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
Sin pedir perdón

Title: 마지막 신호

[Cold Open]
속도를 조금 올려
말없이 웃어 줘
오늘만은 멀리 가자
아무도 모르는 곳

[Hook A]
Drive it slow then faster
너와 나의 작은 fever
손끝보다 먼저 알아
지금 우린 달라

[Verse A]
창문 너머 번지는 길
내 마음도 같이 흔들려
아무 말도 하지 않아도
너는 이미 알고 있어

불안했던 하루 끝에
너의 웃음이 들어와
차갑게 굳은 내 표정도
조금씩 풀리고 있어

[Lift]
너무 빠른 세상 속에
우린 잠깐 멈춰 서
서두르지 않아도 돼
이미 충분히 가까워

[Main Hook]
마지막 신호가 바뀌면
우리 둘은 더 멀리 가
숨이 차도 괜찮아
오늘은 멈추고 싶지 않아

Drive through the city
너와 나 no limit
기분은 더 깊이
이 밤에 새겨지지

마지막 신호가 바뀌면
우리 둘은 더 멀리 가
말하지 못한 마음까지
속도 위에 실어 가

[Verse B]
가끔 나는 너무 조용해
마음 숨기는 법만 배워
괜찮다는 말 뒤에서
혼자 오래 버텼어

근데 너는 이상하게
내가 나를 보게 해
흔들리는 이 순간도
나쁘지 않게 느껴져

[Rap Break]
핸들은 가볍게
생각은 깊게
너의 한마디에
내 하루가 쉽게

풀려 천천히
번져 조용히
멋진 척 안 해도
너는 다 보지

속도는 올라가
심장은 따라가
선은 지켜 but tonight
기분은 날아가

No loud talk
No fake smile
너랑 있으면
I’m alive for a while

[Hook B]
Drive it slow then faster
너와 나의 작은 fever
눈빛보다 먼저 알아
지금 우린 달라

[Middle 8]
이 길 끝에 뭐가 있든
지금은 묻지 않을래
돌아갈 곳이 있어도
조금 더 있고 싶어

너도 같은 생각이면
고개만 끄덕여 줘
그거면 돼
그거면 돼

[Final Hook]
마지막 신호가 바뀌면
우리 둘은 더 멀리 가
숨이 차도 괜찮아
오늘은 멈추고 싶지 않아

Drive through the city
너와 나 no limit
기분은 더 깊이
이 밤에 새겨지지

마지막 신호가 바뀌면
우리 둘은 더 멀리 가
말하지 못한 마음까지
속도 위에 실어 가

속도를 조금 낮춰
이 순간을 남겨 둬
오늘 밤이 지나가도
나는 잊지 않을 거야

[Intro]
(Ooh)
Yeah yeah
Uh-huh
Look at that
Look at that

You said forever on a Tuesday night
By Thursday you were outta sight
Had your name all over my screen
Now it’s just a memory machine

Funny how the silence got loud
Funny how you’re nowhere around
Used to know the code to my heart
Now you couldn’t find where to start

I was waitin’ by the telephone
Every little buzz had me gone
Now I let it ring all night long

You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Saw your picture through a friend’s friend’s post
Thought I’d feel somethin’ almost
But the room kept spinnin’ just fine
Guess the sun still knows how to shine

Every promise got a price tag now
Every “sorry” sounds the same somehow
You can send another late-night text
But I ain’t the one that’s next

I was waitin’ by the telephone
Every little buzz had me gone
Now I let it ring all night long

You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Na-na-na
Look who’s lonely now
Na-na-na
Tryna figure it out

Ha!
That’s funny somehow

[Final Chorus]
You can’t call me back
Too late for that
I already packed up all the feelings that I had

You can’t call me back
No turnin’ back
Found a better rhythm when you slipped right through my hands

Oh-oh-oh
I’m good like that
Oh-oh-oh
You can’t call me back

Yeah yeah
Too late now
(Ooh)
You can’t call me back… 🎵

Yeah
Almost beautiful

You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light

I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late

Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud

And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you

Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might

Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you

I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line

Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands

Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side

I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long

I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all

Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you

Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

Days stack up without asking
Deadlines talk before we do
Small mistakes grow teeth quickly
When you’re trying to stay true

Plans bend out of their own shape
Words land wrong then multiply
Nothing ends nothing settles
We just learn what to deny

I’m tired of fixing the timing
Tired of reading every sign
We keep choosing what sounds easy
Then we pay for it in time

Life feels heavy in small ways
Not enough to make a sound
Love gets stuck in explanations
That keep going in a round
We don’t break we just tangle
Try to pull without a map
Every day asks something different
And never tells us where to stand

Conversations turn to tactics
Every pause becomes a test
Saying less feels safer lately
Even when we mean our best

We trade honesty for balance
Call it calm but feel the cost
Nothing wrong with wanting steady
Just don’t lose what made us talk

We don’t need another answer
We don’t need to win the night
I just want a moment quiet
Where the pressure drops its bite

Life feels heavy in small ways
It adds up before we know
Love gets lost in fine decisions
We were never meant to solve
We don’t fall we just circle
Looking for a cleaner path
Every day asks something different
And leaves the rest to us

Maybe this is how it happens
Not dramatic not fast
Just the weight of daily choosing
Stacked against the past

Life feels heavy in small ways
But it’s still the one we take
Love is work without instructions
That we learn by what we break
We don’t fix it all tonight
We don’t need to understand
We just stay inside the motion
Doing what we can

Tomorrow’s already forming
Before we get some rest
I don’t need it to be simple
I just need it to be honest

Gary’s got a corkboard on the bedroom wall
Red strings running from the big to the small
Says the moon’s a movie on a giant screen
“NASA hired Stanley back in ‘69” he’s keen

Won’t eat cereal with a barcode line
Reads expiration dates like secret signs
Says the pigeons blink in binary
Then whispers “Buddy… they’re watching me”

Every answer needs another question
Every fact becomes a new obsession

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

He says Elvis orders food at night
Bigfoot’s blurry on purpose right?
Paul was switched back in ‘64
“Look at the eyebrows!” — he’s got thirty more

Area Fifty-One’s a holiday camp
Atlantis powers every desk lamp
Chemtrails spell my middle name
And squirrels? “Yeah… they’re in the game”

Every headline proves his theory
Coffee makes him documentary

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

Yesterday he called at half past two
Said “I’ve got something huge for you!”
I held my breath… this must be big…

“They changed the shape… of Pringles lids”

…

He wasn’t joking

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another rabbit hole to pass the time?
Flat Earth aliens secret files
He can talk for seventeen miles
Wake up Gary you’re one of a kind
You make conspiracy sound sublime
If the truth comes out one day
We’ll let Gary say “I told you mate!”

Concrete and dreams underneath my feet
Grew up on these blocks where the cold and the warm meet
Didn't have much but I had this view
Rooftops and water towers skies painted blue
This city raised me made me who I am
Every subway line running through my veins

And I've been down I've been lost in these streets
But every time I fell this city caught me

(mm)

New York New York
I was made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that I own
I have loved I have lost
On these streets made of stone
But I always — always
Find my way home

Harlem nights had nothing but a name
Told myself either make it or make it no game
Penthouse dreams from a fire escape view
This city don't love you till you prove something true
I've seen men fold under all this weight
But New York only opens up for those who wait

And I've been cold sleeping on ambition
But this city turned my hunger into vision
(yeah)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
But we always — always
Find our way home

(ohhh yeah)
(home…)

They say the city never sleeps
(never sleeps)
But I've seen it quiet
At 4 AM when even the brave weep
(weep…)
And still — the lights stay on
(lights stay on)
And still — we carry on
(carry on…)
Because this city chose us
As much as we chose it
(mm)
Every broken dream here
Still has fire in it
(fire…)
(ohhhh)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
(own it)
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
(these streets)
But we always — always
(always)
Find our way
(find our way)

Home
(HOME)
(ohhhhh)

New York…
(mm)
You never let me go
(never…)
And I never wanted you to
(fade)

Ouais
Hmm
Parle moins

Tu parles trop tu dis rien
Toujours sûr jamais clair
Tu me regardes de loin
Comme si j’étais à refaire

Tu dis “viens” tu dis “reste”
Mais tu sais pas pourquoi
Moi je lis dans les gestes
Pas dans ce que tu crois

J’ai pas besoin d’expliquer
Je me vois très bien sans toi
Si tu viens pour improviser
Autant rester là-bas

Parle moins regarde mieux
J’ai déjà compris le décor
Parle moins regarde mieux
J’attends pas que tu sois fort
Parle moins regarde mieux
Je perds pas mon équilibre
Parle moins regarde mieux
Je suis calme je suis libre

Tu veux suivre mon tempo
Mais tu marches à côté
Chez moi tout est simple
Faut savoir rester vrai

T’as appris à parler vite
À promettre sans voir
Mais moi je coupe le son
Quand ça sonne trop noir

Yeah
J’arrive clean sans détour
J’fais pas l’acteur dans le jour
Trop de bruit pour peu d’idées
Moi j’avance pas besoin d’jouer
Elle sait lire entre les lignes
Moi j’dis moins j’fais plus
Si tu veux rester dans le film
Faut être réel pas flou

Parle moins regarde mieux
J’ai déjà compris le décor
Parle moins regarde mieux
J’attends pas que tu sois fort
Parle moins regarde mieux
Je perds pas mon équilibre
Parle moins regarde mieux
Je suis calme je suis libre

Ouais
Parle moins
C’est mieux comme ça

[Intro]
Low low
Slow voltage
Turn it down
Let it move

I don’t need a loud sign
You can read it in my eyes
Something quiet in the air
Pulls us closer every time

손끝에 닿기 전에
이미 알고 있었어
말보다 느린 떨림
너와 나를 깨워

Don’t rush it
Let the current breathe
천천히 번져 와
Underneath

No drama
No broken scene
조용히 타올라
You and me

Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the motion begin

너무 빠르지 않게
조금 더 깊게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the silence lean in

눈을 떼지 못해
말은 필요 없게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

Clean shirt dark glass
No need to prove the past
I keep my cool but you know
This calm was never built to last

차갑던 내 하루에
작은 열이 흐르고
흔들리지 않던 맘
너를 따라 움직여

[Rap]
Switch low bass soft
I don’t talk big I move smart
One look cut sharp
You already read my chart

너의 리듬 가까이
내 속도가 바뀌지
Keep it sleek keep it real
감정보다 먼저 feel

No noise no show
Still you know where I go
Line by line close and slow
전부 말 안 해도

Don’t rush it
Let the current breathe
천천히 번져 와
Underneath

No drama
No broken scene
조용히 타올라
You and me

Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the motion begin

너무 빠르지 않게
조금 더 깊게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the silence lean in

눈을 떼지 못해
말은 필요 없게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

숨을 고르고 있어
서두르지 않기로 해
이 순간의 온도를
우리만 알면 돼

If I move you move
If you stop I stay
짧은 거리 안에서
Everything changes

[Final Chorus]
Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the motion begin

너무 빠르지 않게
조금 더 깊게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

Slow voltage
I feel it under my skin
Slow voltage
Let the silence lean in

눈을 떼지 못해
말은 필요 없게
Slow voltage
You turn me on within

Low low
Slow voltage
말하지 않아도
You know it

Yeah yeah
Mm listen now
We don’t slow down tonight

Sun drop low on the city line
Heart beat sync with the bass this time
No map no rules no rewind
We move as one no border signs

I came up from the rhythm street
Barefoot dreams and a hungry beat
Every scar got a story loud
Every move say I’m here right now

When the drums talk I obey
Feel it rise under my skin
No fear when the lights go red
This is where we begin

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Eh eh eh
Move it closer
Eh eh eh
Right here

Gold chain swing with the tempo fast
Every step make the moment last
DJ spin that truth so loud
From Lagos nights to the London crowd

No sleep when the vibe too strong
Whole world sing when the hook come on
If you feel lost follow sound
This beat gonna hold you down

When the drums talk I obey
Feel it rise under my skin
No fear when the lights go red
This is where we begin

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Hands up no delay
From the block to the cabana
Left foot right foot sway
We don’t need no permission

Heat jump crowd reply
Every face got a reason
One night one time
Let the rhythm make the decision

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Yeah
We don’t slow down
Mm
Africa to the world

Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

I keep them
I lose them
I try

A room
A chair
A photograph there

A train
A face
A wrong suitcase

You said
Be careful
I said
Of what?

The door was open
The clock had stopped

I remember the street
But I don’t remember the name
I remember your coat
But I don’t remember the rain

Little things
Little signs
Little cuts
In the time

I was almost someone
I was almost fine

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

Small parts
Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

La-la-life
La-la-life
I repeat it
I repeat it

A call
No sound
A hotel downtown

A shirt
A lie
A very blue sky

You smiled
Too late
I missed my fate

The lift went up
I stayed at eight

I remember the song
But I don’t remember the band
I remember your mouth
But I don’t remember your hand

Little rooms
Little lights
Little debts
Little nights

I was almost happy
I was almost right

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

This is not sadness
This is inventory

One ticket
One number
One glass
One morning

This is not memory
This is machinery

I press play
I press stop
I press repeat

La-la-life
La-la-life

Small parts
Small parts

La-la-life
La-la-life

I repeat it
I repeat it

La-la-life
In small little pieces
La-la-life
It comes and it leaves us

Round and round
I go where the feeling goes
Up and down
Nobody really knows

La-la-life
In small little pieces
I lose myself
Then I repeat it

La-la-life
La-la-life
Small parts
Of a life

A room
A chair
A photograph there

Small parts
Small parts
Of a life

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

They want that old me back
Now that version in the past
When I was a young kid
I just wanted me a bag

On the corner with my people
In the middle of the night
Everybody moving careful
Just trying to make it right

Man I been hot
I been on my own thing
Riding with a Taurus
I was on some horoscope thing

All my people winning
Man we don't ever forfeit
Me and my people never moving on no weak stuff

I'm in this place with my woadies
I'm in this place with my homies
I'm in this place with the people
That really been down
And the ones that really been knowing me

I'm in this place with the people
That said they would ride for me
And the ones that would've stood with me

I'm in this place with the people
That told me I couldn't do it
But now I be doing me

I'm on a different type time
Girl you know I been on my grind
Tryna move all of my people up out the hood
Get 'em out of the bind

I know that all of my people got demons
But that's why I keep all my angels around
I told all my people
"If you hold me down
Then I'ma hold you down"

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

Feelings
Now we're out of touch
And it feels strange
If I'm being honest
I don't think I've ever been in love
I was young
And you were the closest thing to it
So it felt close enough
Now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

Aren't we over this by now?
I thought I'd finally figured it out

My friends tell me
That it was a real relationship
'Cause that's what I said it was
But how could it have been?
We were just kids
Trying to play pretend
At least you were
And I thought I could keep up
I thought it would be fun
But now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

Now I'm here
Having flashbacks to the days
That I'd make you smile
And you'd run and hide your face
That was the closest thing to love
I've ever known
And now I'm here
And now it's gone
I guess I'm just waiting
For it to come back along

Aren't we over this by now?
I thought I'd finally figured it out

My friends tell me
That it was a real relationship
'Cause that's what I said it was
But how could it have been?
We were just kids
Trying to play pretend
At least you were
And I thought I could keep up
I thought it would be fun
But now I'm here
Feeling so dumb

Bus is late but the sun is out
Someone’s laughing way too loud
Corner shop knows my face
Same old song same old place

Shoelace broke still on time
Found a coin lost my mind
Nothing special nothing deep
But today’s been good to me

Radio plays that beat again
Head goes left feet say “amen”
I wasn’t looking for a sign
But the street feels right in time

Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Sticky tables familiar sounds
Not a movie not a plan
Just a good day where I stand

Life’s doing fine no big parade
Just walking slow no rush today
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that

Coffee spills laugh it off
Wrong turn but I don’t stop
Shoes too tight shirt’s too thin
Still smiling when I walk in

Someone hums the tune I know
Traffic moves then says hello
Nothing changed still feels new
Guess the trick is how you view

No winning streak no finish line
Just wasting time and feeling fine
If this moment’s all I get
I’m not mad at it yet

Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Bent street signs old beat-up towns
Not a headline not a scam
Just a good day where I stand

Life’s doing fine no big parade
Late night talks cheap lemonade
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that

Maybe tomorrow’s loud and rough
But today’s already enough
No promises no advice
Just breathing in a decent life

Life’s doing fine hear that horn
Someone dancing someone bored
Not a dream not a trap
Just a moment and I’ll clap

Life’s doing fine I’ll say it twice
Not perfect but it’s nice
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I love it just like that

Just like that
Yeah just like that

Slow wind on the empty street
Boots drag through the drifting heat
Shadows stretch across the town
One more sun is going down

Boardwalk creaks beneath my feet
Every sound repeats the beat
Windows closed and curtains drawn
Like this place has long been gone

Cards still lie upon the bar
Someone left a broken star
Dust is dancing in the light
Waiting for the coming night

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Leather creaks across the lane
Every step repeats the same
Eyes are narrow time is thin
Like a clock about to spin

Old sign sways above the door
Scratching echoes on the floor
Somewhere far a trumpet cries
Like a warning in disguise

Dust between the guns tonight
No one here to call it right
Every breath a loaded sound
Spinning slowly all around

Hands are steady hearts are slow
Every man already knows
When the silence starts to fall
No one leaves this street at all

Wind moves softly through the town
One last figure lying down
Sun sinks red behind the plain
Only dust will stay again

You walk in slow
Like you own the room
Cheap little grin
With a silver spoon

Say my name twice
Like it makes you tall
I don’t look up
I just let you fall

You talk too loud
For a little spark
I count your lies
Like cards in the dark

I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene

You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown

Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
[Vocal Tremolo Effect]
Bow back down

Don’t call me sweet
I’m a bad excuse
For the kind of girl
That would wait on you

Got red shoes on
And a bored little face
I don’t run fast
I just change the race

You talk too much
For a silent room
I cut the fuse
Then I blame the moon

I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene

You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown

Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
[Vocal Tremolo Effect]
Bow back down

Ha
Look at you
Trying hard
That’s adorable

Ha
Move along
You were never
That important

[Final Chorus]
I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene

You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown

Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
Bow back down

Tiny king
Tiny throne
Tiny crown
All alone

You taste like trouble and cheap red wine

Black boots kicking off the dashboard side
Your hair messed up and your friends outside
Small town talk but we move too fast
Everybody staring when we walk past

You laugh loud when the speakers break
Steal my jacket like a little game
Hands cold wrapped around my neck
You say “relax” then make a mess

Oh-oh
Don’t stop now
Oh-oh
Spin me around

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Yeah yeah)

Your lipstick on my cigarette
Your number in my head again
One look and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Taxi doors and buzzing amps
Cheap hotel and tangled hands
Your dance moves cutting through the room
Everybody watching you

Low lights flicker on your rings
You move sharp to the kick drum beat
Every word got attitude
God you make bad ideas look cool

No sleep
Heartbeat
Fast lane
On repeat

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Hey hey)

Your perfume on my leather coat
You pull away then pull me close
One touch and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Bad habits look good on you
Too much smoke in the dressing room
Red lights blur when you bite your lip
Whole damn room start losing it

Kiss me when I’m lying
Dance into the light
Young hearts burning through the after-midnight
(Yeah yeah)

Your name stuck like a melody
Wild eyes full of energy
One kiss and the whole world spins
Again and again

Black boots
Backseat
Your laugh
Still on me
