lyrics
(Gotham)
you know I've been running for too fucking long
I'm looking at em like damn, can't we all get along?
bleeding on the song, see the plane that I'm on
you looking at right now, I'm trying to see beyond
(Malky)
somewhere the sun never sets
5pm, happy hour, the day stays as good as it gets
on some islands, drinking whisky from the highlands
I sit quiet and she understands my silence
(Gotham)
I wouldn't like to, I'd motherfucking love to
but what I'm gonna do? this music shit is like a drug who
keep pulling me back, it's pulling me in
and every time I think I'm over it it's pulling again
(Malky)
from a feeling you can't pin down
had it and lost it, it swims around in you, wishing it would drown
nature of a player, peel away the layers
nothing there at all, a kid curled in a ball, took a fall
(Malky)
from my own dumb ass, no surprise
how I fuck it up this time? no one asks, now come
making changes? I done about none
swearing I can outrun the outcome, I doubt that some
that one thing you can't come back from
it's part of you, it's a birthmark
dirt got a surcharge and the learning curve's sharp
you can work hard and still catch an early hearse dog
that's your god, I'm rolling with my first thought
(Gotham)
what if I disappear? what they gonna think then?
they gonna be like Yo, he couldn't handle the ink pen
it ain't that, I can take the music stresses
I'm sick of motherfuckin hoes, do you get the message?
(Malky)
people here then they disappear
everywhere then they're gone, guess it's how we're geared, it's weird
just love in theory, if you don't wanna be near me
fuck keepin in touch, a clean cut, yeah I'm weary
(Gotham)
I got one more then I gotta go
it's a simple way of life, money over a hoe
I would like to get away if I could but I can't though
that's why I'm right here in my motherfucking stance yo
(Malky)
bout to go Van Gogh, something gotta give
no getting away, it's me I got the problem with
can't look at me the same and all I feel is shame
so I'm going somewhere where nobody know my damn name.
