01. INTRO
[UNIQUE VERSE]
And I said
Bro I've been doing the same thing
Year after year most of my life
You know what? I just let it pass me by
Lord, I know we rarely talk, but I
Every day I wake up and feel like I screwed up
I blew it with my family, my friends, with her
I don't see a future in the kids where I come from
It should be me, what I'm doin' bro?
This is not what I should be doing with my life, man
02. MORE THAN FRIENDS
[CHORUS]
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
And send that guy you're with straight to his home (go)
I just feel like time is passing me by
All I want is to stop wasting my time
(So yeah, oh yeah)
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
[FIRST VERSE]
I can guarantee you there will be no disrespect, no
I feel real queens know how to keep the game under control, yeah, yeah
You cried on the phone and it was almost three
You said you didn't know if what you did was right, you told me
Would break his ass to make it alright
But you told me never mind, yeah, yeah
[SECOND VERSE]
The issue is that you lie to yourself more than you like yourself.
IIt's not if he loves you or if he wants to fool you
You give the best advice to your friends
And don't take them for yourself
And I don't know how to explain it but it feels like I'm in heaven, yeah
I crashed Mario Kart, it's game over, like Chelsea, he's the winner, yeah
We are the best thing that never happened, but
[CHORUS]
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
And send that guy you're with straight to his home (go)
I just feel like time is passing me by
All I want is to stop wasting my time
(So yeah, oh yeah)
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
[THIRD VERSE]
Spending the night in clear
What's the deprivation?
That's no hesitation, neither reservation
Walk around with no destination
You need separation
We need recreation
You are arguing every day
I'm your friend, you need intervention
[FOURTH VERSE]
Funny, you got the wrong shade of your tanny's
We bumped into each other on our way out of the Grammys
You're sweet, I've thought about getting you preggy
But I'll never gonna say I think now is a bit early
I know he hasn't given you much clarity
So if you want I can give you some sextherapy
You know you gave that boy a lot of charity, hear me
[CHORUS]
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
And send that guy you're with straight to his home (go)
I just feel like time is passing me by
All I want is to stop wasting my time
(So yeah, oh yeah)
I think I'm ready to be more than your friend, oh
[FIFTH VERSE]
I don't mean to sound like the jealous type
But you should know that you and me
We draw lo-lo-lo-love
I wonder if you know how much you're worth
I want you to know
I don't mean to sound like the jealous type
But you should know that you and me
We draw lo-lo-lo-love
I wonder if you know how much you're worth
I want you to know
I wonder if you know how much you're worth
I want you to know
[OUTRO]
More than your friend, oh
03. LIGHT-YEARS AHEAD
[CHORUS]
What do you know about starting from the depths?
They try to knock you down and your brain goes numb
You call it mental freeze cause I keep on dripping ice
They talk so much shit I can't understand
Put that shit in slow motion, yeah
I feel like I'm clueless, yeah
[FIRST VERSE]
She say I'm hot and I disagree (I'm the best)
She touch me and I just howl (She's a beast)
I believe in G-O-D but don't believe in those H-O-E-S
She thinks she makes a fool of me, and I play with her friend's pussy
I send them all back to their boyfriends with my hand print on their asses
Stop talkin', give me the gold
Stop looking at me, suck me again
So rich, handsome and young
Lot of money I put in my pocket
Sittin' on the mountain of money, then I win again
My jewel shines, it's new stuff, then I win again
Prada and Benz, then I win again
This bitch is my bitch, then I win again
Secret Santa, only gold gift, then I win again
Damien in the house (I win again)
[CHORUS]
What do you know about starting from the depths?
They try to knock you down and your brain goes numb
You call it mental freeze cause I keep on dripping ice
They talk so much shit I can't understand
Put that shit in slow motion, yeah
I feel like I'm clueless, yeah
[SECOND VERSE]
Let's make everything's clear as ice (ice), I'm going work so nice (nice)
Even if I don't get paid for progression, I'll make it rain every day, every night
Everything I do is electric, move this ass like im kinetic, yeah, yeah
Feel my meet, Im in you, frame it, blame me
Can you read between the lines?
My rhyme tends to break your spine
They say I'm too good, I hear it every night
You could never match my crime
Please don't waste my time
Damien came to break the ice, she says I'm fuck her so nice (very nice)
They say I'm too good, they say I'm too good
So don't waste my time
[CHORUS]
What do you know about starting from the depths?

04. BOUNCE BACK
[INTRO]
If Damien doesn't like you he will shoot you
[CHORUS]
Yeah
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Wake up every morning with more money in my bag
Knew that ass was real when I hit, it bounce back
(You ain’t getting checks, swish)
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Bitch called me back, I guess the check bounced back
In town of LA, I never see the money back
If you a real one, then you know how to bounce back
[FIRST VERSE]
Don’t owe nobody, don't need nobody
My crew always on top working
hard, ain't got no hobbies
Come to city to fuck with me cause I'm homegrown
Vibin' way more than my phone though
Leave me ‘lone, leave me on my own though
[SECOND VERSE]
Look, I cut that bitch off like a panty
My dick a G, it's genetics
I hear this new shit, it's pathetic
Can't handle me, your mind is s-shredded
I took my mother on the private jet from her house to thailand
I keep on top, made another thousand
Feeling cold right here on top, sitting on paramount mountain
[THIRD VERSE]
Everything I do is righteous
I never went a fucking crisis
Smart thought, taking the right risks
I switch gears and write my lines, bitch
Black you out 'cause I'm enlightened
Don't wanna talk, just gimme silence
But I still hear Him everytime, man
[CHORUS]
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Wake up every morning with more money in my bag
Knew that ass was real when I hit, it bounce back
(You ain’t getting checks, swish)
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Bitch called me back, I guess the check bounced back
In town of LA, I never see the money back
If you a real one, then you know how to bounce back
[FIFTH VERSE]
Look, It's better to feel small
Me and my girl fuck like beast mode
Making hits, and these shitties want to sleep though
Only thing sold out are the seats though
Rediscovering America, I'm from the north, dawg
[SIXTH VERSE]
You better sit back and witness my glory
Don't even dare to stand before me
I don't need to be a cop, better respect my authority
If you fuck with my homies I'm make sure that you get holies
Bitch say I fuck so good that it should be unholy
No time for drama, no time to worry
Leap of faith, my life story
Live and learn, I still keep on growing
[SEVENTH VERSE]
I knew this life would smile on me
More money than brain cells
To my friends, I wish you well
To my enemies, I wish you well
Cuz karma come around and I'll just wish you well
I hope you make it out alive, come out and tell
I kill the scene like I’m fucking Denzel
Man, I don’t act but I'll act up
Brown paper bag like the lunch packed up
Back, back, back, back up
[EIGHT VERSE]
Dude, stay away like 10 feet
Or will be stepped on by ten feet
Don't make me lose my temper
Or you won't live to see me count to ten here
Man, fuck what you say you know
Man I'm taking back control
The underdog has become a wolf and the constant hunger only grows
[CHORUS]
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Wake up every morning with more money in my bag
Knew that ass was real when I hit, it bounce back
(You ain’t getting checks, swish)
Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Bitch called me back, I guess the check bounced back
In town of LA, I never see the money back
If you a real one, then you know how to bounce back
[OUTRO]
Bounce back, bounce back
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce, bitch, bounce
Yeah, yeah
Is you a real one? (Bounce, bounce)
Is you a real one? (Bounce, bounce)
Real one (Back, back)
Real one (Back, back)
Real one
05. DON'T CALL ME & GO (FT. ALEC BRADSHAW)
[CHORUS - ALEC]
I feel your words piercing my heart
Turning me into a man of stone
You drain all my blood and my will to go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
[FIRST VERSE]
I never asked for anything but the truth
I didn't think this was too much for you
I know your skin has already peeled off
And your tongue forked in two
Your venom was real tho, I almost loved you, oh
Yeah, you say it was just a mistake
In the end I'm the one who breaks, held me under hopin' I would drown
Gotta say, I won't no more to waste
I know you can hear me out, can hear me out
[PRE-CHORUS]
And it's such a shame, that's the last day
I started to give my heart a break
You are always the same, the love more fake
I'm at peace with my own soul, oh
[CHORUS - DAMIEN & ALEC]
I feel your words piercing my heart
Turning me into a man of stone
You drain all my blood and my will to go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
[SECOND VERSE]
With the sticks and stones I mined my diamonds
In this coupe I'm with five bitches too
Things weren't always good.
I had all my reasons for living other seasons (that's right)
I've been sleeping forever, and fuckin' people, whatever
Hoping that one day you'll come back
We went our separate ways, it's sad
So let it be, it's a feast all for one
I'm not lonely just being alone
[BRIDGE]
Love (love)
Shouldn't go bad (no, no, no)
We need to smile (smile, smile)
Pulling hair back (pulling hair back)
Smoke weed to feel high (smile-ile)
Spendin' all the cash (chin-ching)
That's what you have (all that you have)
[CHORUS - DAMIEN & ALEC]
I feel your words piercing my heart
Turning me into a man of stone
You drain all my blood and my will to go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
Why can't you be real with me?
You just take what you want from me
You get your things, don't call me and go
[ENCORE]
Throw all your stuff away
Why can't you (be real with me? take what you want)
Take what you want from me
Yeah
(Take what you want) why can't you (take what you need)
(What you need, yeah)
06. HOW
[FIRST VERSE]
Said she tired of the boring life, want a big boy
With 20 inches in underwear she is full of joy
You can fuck with me and your friend, I'm a boy toy
Shawty said she wants to fly so I bought the airport, yeah
G-Wallet, G-Wallet, G-Wallet, G-Wallet
I have a pocket full of gold
I'm a bad boy, I fuck a lot of women and a lot of boy
You didn't want to see me winnin'
I came back because I was in a low mooding fellin
I know it pisses you off to see who I'm with
You almost go blind when you see my teeth, yeah
[CHORUS]
The rolex on my wrist is on me
The white line on the table like in the army
Rock bottom, be a bottom is not for me
Every moment I'm winning and they want to know how (how, how)
The rolex on my wrist is on me
The white line on the table like in the army
Rock bottom, be a bottom is not for me
Every moment I'm winning and they want to know how (how, how)
[SECOND VERSE]
I'm here to let them know (hey)
Never been from block but I know how it goes
Look at my diamond and think it's Canadian snow
You see my D and think it's for Dumbo, Yeah
The lowered roof, it's a cabrio
Sprouting in my house with asses in Ohio
Making this mansion my private whorehouse, yeah
Me and my homies in a menag-
[THIRD VERSE]
When I got M's all of y'all disappeared
Before "Light-Years Ahead" none of y'all really cared
And now they want me to smile with a good face
I don't believe 'cause everything out there has been fake
Used to have a lot, but I have more now
Made another hit, 'cause I was bored now
Fucked another twink, and I've met his mother now
Took L, Last Call, Bounce Back, Touchdown, Yeah
[CHORUS]
The rolex on my wrist is on me
The white line on the table like in the army
Rock bottom, be a bottom is not for me
Every moment I'm winning and they want to know how (how, how)
The rolex on my wrist is on me
The white line on the table like in the army
Rock bottom, be a bottom is not for me
Every moment I'm winning and they want to know how (how, how)
[OUTRO]
They want to know: how
Ayy, how, ayy, how
Want to know: how
How
How
07. CURTAINS' CALL
[INTRO]
Oooh, ooh
Oooh, ooh
Just can't believe this
It's Damien in the house, gitty up
[FIRST VERSE]
I never thought that one day
I would be here throwing our pictures away
The person you love is not the person who loves you
And I wouldn't be able to stop you from follow your way
I will settle for myself
[CHORUS]
It's the end of our show
You just played with me, time for curtain's call
My heart can't take this anymore
If you cheated on me, I don't even want to know
It's a sequence of moments that are bad
If you don't love me anymore, keep it under wraps
[POST-CHORUS]
Ooh baby, keep it under wraps
Ooh, woah oh, oh
Ooh, oh yeah
[SECOND VERSE]
It's hard not to remember those moments
When I had you in my arms I couldn't believe
And when we make love in my room
Baby you were hot as hell
[CHORUS]
It's the end of our show
You just played with me, time for curtain's call
My heart can't take this anymore
If you cheated on me, I don't even want to know
It's a sequence of moments that are bad
If you don't love me anymore, keep it under wraps
[BRIDGE]
Does he touch you better than me?
(Touch you better tha me)
Does he smile watching you sleep?
(Watching you sleep)
Does he know every little thing you said you liked to me?
Things are better this way (better this way)
It's just too little too late (too little too late)
Just get on with your life, I've got a heart to remake
[POST-BRIDGE]
Ooh, woah oh, oh
Ooh, ooh ooh
[THIRD VERSE]
It was a crush, I was ready to move on, game over
You looked like a right boy, it went from that to a secret lover
And by my side, you said you loved me in my Rover
You said that love with him was over
And you cried laying your head on my shoulder
[CHORUS]
It's the end of our show
You just played with me, time for curtain's call
My heart can't take this anymore
If you cheated on me, I don't even want to know
It's a sequence of moments that are bad
If you don't love me anymore, keep it under wraps
Ooh, baby, it's our curtain's call
[POST-CHORUS 2]
If you cheated on me, I don't even want to know
It's time to let this old love go
[ENCORE]
Things are better this way
It's just too little too late
Just get on with your life
I've got a whole heart to remake
08. CONGRATULATIONS
[FIRST VERSE]
Back in the game to be a winner
I'm fucked up as a player, now I'm more goldigger
I write my songs like poetry is written by a poet
I prophesied a successful career and proved to be a fuck prophet
Goal? I don't hit them
I surpass them
Every day I wake up and kill them
I rock in everything I do
I have a lot of shit to do
I'm the new face of rap, caleb said "you're Future"
I'm always light years ahead, that I already turned around
In my head, a crown goes well
Karma comes back one day and all I do is wish you well
[CHORUS]
I look in the mirror and see royalty
I know these bitches don't owe me loyalty
I have the ability to take off your panties
Bitch, don't fuck with me, you owe me a couple grammys
Money is my dinner, I eat gold for breakfast (fast, fast)
She gets a lil high with her head over my chest (chest, chest)
Doing in a week what you can't do in a year (yeah, yeah)
They just keep saying I'm the best around here, it's a domination
Today is not my birthday, but they keep telling me "Congratulations"
[SECOND VERSE]
Admit that you say you don't like my music but you listen to it when there's no one around
Imprisoned to bad taste? with my sound I set you free
I'm the last water in the middle of the desert
Powerful enough to make wrong go right
Don't compare me to anyone else, cause I'm one of a kind
Don't have no doubts
I collect dollars like the losers that talk about me collect debts
They say I'm irrelevant but I'm always being quoted
You're gonna have to learn to respect the biggest in this motherfucker game
It's not months, it's years and years of hard work
I'll be marked in this industry for all eternity
Some dream of having my popularity
They'll have to wake up from this deep sleep and come back to reality
Cause even making a pact with the devil won't have my longevity
[CHORUS]
I look in the mirror and see royalty
I know these bitches don't owe me loyalty
I have the ability to take off your panties
Bitch, don't fuck with me, you owe me a couple grammys
Money is my dinner, I eat gold for breakfast (fast, fast)
She gets a lil high with her head over my chest (chest, chest)
Doing in a week what you can't do in a year (yeah, yeah)
They just keep saying I'm the best around here, it's a domination
Today is not my birthday, but they keep telling me "Congratulations"
[THIRD VERSE]
I shop without the need for a down payment
So much bla bla bla about me, but I don't give a shit
At the end of the day it's my video clip that will be on replay on your screen
Fuck those who hate me, deep down you will always be an anonymous person who doesn't speak up
Celebration day and I'm the hostess of this party
I'm always in evidence
On TV I break audience records
With me there's no competition
If you want to compete with me, be aware that you'll go bankrupt
I can go from rap to pop
Pop to rock
Rock to house
And with all the lies about me
Here's the truth
I haven't abandoned my roots
I was born with the gift of versatility
[CHORUS]
I look in the mirror and see royalty
I know these bitches don't owe me loyalty
I have the ability to take off your panties
Bitch, don't fuck with me, you owe me a couple grammys
Money is my dinner, I eat gold for breakfast (fast, fast)
She gets a lil high with her head over my chest (chest, chest)
Doing in a week what you can't do in a year (yeah, yeah)
They just keep saying I'm the best around here, it's a domination
Today is not my birthday, but they keep telling me "Congratulations"
09. NEW MILLENIUM INTERLUDE (FT. LEAH)
[FIRST VERSE - DAMIEN]
Hey, girl
Is he everything you were looking for in a man?
Your teenage desire,
Does he give you enough love?
I still can't understand, you had me in a few steps,
I still can't understand why our love is gone,
In fact I don't understand why your love is gone, I still love you
I thought it would be just you and me, (why my love?)
I thought we'd be together till the end, you promised me so
[SECOND VERSE - DAMIEN]
I don't want to think about it anymore,
I don't want to talk about it anymore,
I just want to accept that it's over,
I just wanna accept that you're gone,
But my heart breaks every time I remember your face,
Cause it's hard to forget someone you once loved
I don't wanna think about it anymore,
I don't wanna talk about it anymore,
I just want to accept that it's gone,
I just wanna accept that you're gone,
[THIRD VERSE - DAMIEN AND LEAH]
Not even a simple goodbye? (not even a simple goodbye?)
I wrote our own symphony,
But maybe this is our goodbye symphony,
Your perfume is still imbued in my overpriced suit,
Your number is still in my phone, and it's always torture to try to erase it
I can't get you out of my mind, it's something that's marked
10. STARBOY (FT. CRYSTAL VENUS)
[FIRST VERSE]
I've spent nights getting used to sleeping alone, I think it's time this bed saw a second person
Your visit was always welcome, your lips indicate the truth of your emotions,
You ask me if I've done this before, and I say often, this is my specialty
With a phone call, a lonely night turns into a night of chaos,
Your dancing modesty gives away who you really are,
Mujer internacional, eres perfecta como eres
She asks me if there's one more drink left
Girl, there's still a whole night just for us
[CHORUS]
Making that pussy cum is my intention,
After the night, she says she's satisfied,
But my love, it's still the night
There's so much to enjoy, the pleasure's still to come
You've cum three times already? But I haven't even started yet,
A good man knows how to treat a beautiful woman
With a saint's face, she just knows how to fool
But to me it's clear, your moaning has become an opera for the neighbors, and I'm okay with that
Imma a motherfucking starboy
[SECOND VERSE]
From friends to lovers, a big breakthrough
A crush I had on you while making that instrumental,
If I reveal my desire, it will be a scandal, we can't let it go, right?
You don't want my power and fame, you already have that to spare
I can't want you only for myself, it sounds unfair and selfish,
But I can't deny how many times I've caught myself thinking about your golden pussy,
You yourself have said that you want me to give it all (i want it all)
It's not normal for me to think like this, I beg your pardon
But my love, I can assure you
That you won't forget my name (i will play your game.)
[CHORUS]
Making that pussy cum is my intention,
After the night, she says she's satisfied,
But my love, it's still the night
There's so much to enjoy, the pleasure's still to come
You've cum three times already? But I haven't even started yet,
A good man knows how to treat a beautiful woman
With a saint's face, she just knows how to fool
But to me it's clear, your moaning has become an opera for the neighbors, and I'm okay with that
Imma a motherfucking starboy
[BRIDGE]
ohh, the sun is rising,
the night is already ending,
the night is fading
but, your eyes don't lie, (your eyes don't lie)
you want it again, don't you?
girl, I will go again,
girl, I'll go again,
[CHORUS]
Making that pussy cum is my intention,
After the night, she says she's satisfied,
