[PART I]
[Sample]
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they say
(…That’s my girlfriend…)
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It’s wonderful, so they say
[Intro]
We back at this again, boy-o…
Oh my Gosh
Oh my Gosh
Oh my Gosh
God, God
God, God
You might be a God damn—
[Verse 1]
Fuck it man, I cannot say we are friends (Nah)
Put in too much time to do it again
My girl half Beyoncé
Your bitch look like Chauncey
Need to get your bills up
Ain’t nobody out here sorry for you
My name knows applause (That's true)
And I hold my own (I do)
Your name not recalled (Like who?)
And you drop the ball (My dude...)
My mirror image talking to me
“Homie, you just started
So how you killing shit
And you the life of the party?"
[Pre-Hook]
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
You must be a God man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
You might be a God damn—
[Hook]
God, God
You might be a God damn—
God, God
You might be a God damn—
[Verse 2]
I don’t take this shit for granted
Man, I love when they in panic
At the disco claiming they song’s best
When ain't nobody dancing
Everybody standing candid
"Why they playing this again?"
Then they peeping that your style is weak
So now they playing me instead (Damn...)
Too hot, need an AC
Smoke veggie like Casey
You not down for an ounce
You might need replacing
Stay hungry like it’s Ramadan
’Til the beat comes and it’s ramen time
And I chow down, homie calm your palette
‘Fore you drown the Earth with all that fucking talent
[Pre-Hook]
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
You must be a God man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
Oh my gosh, man
You might be a God damn—
[Hook]
God, God
You might be a God damn—
God, God
You might be a God damn—
[Break]
God, God
God, God
You might be a God damn—
[PART II]
[Interlude]
*telephone dial tone*
“I’m sorry, the person you are trying to reach
Has a voice mailbox that is not set up yet..."
You might be a God damn—
[Verse 3]
God, why do I break every promise I make?
God, why do I take so much time
Just to fix things that I’ll never need
Why do I hold on to people
That keep me from being me, beats me
God, why do I think that I’m you?
Why do I wake up on some days
And wonder if my life is wonderful?
Did you create us to spite you?
Why would you make us just like you?
If it’s so we could live forever
Then I gotta kill it for I get to heaven
Cause I gotta be immortalized
Fuck, I gotta be immortalized
Though there’s probably important things
I’m sure bling is where our morals lie
Or thereabouts, way too many things I think about
Like if we're controlling every single step
Or somebody else got it figured out
Gotta figure out—if I still approve of myself
If I’m still in love with the game
They said that falling in love would come with some pain
Well me and her are friends
Me and her are friends (Me and her are friends)
Me no play, no silver lining
I Christian Bale but want green like Pine
And my stars aligned, my future bright
I’m the greatest boy under 25 (Oh yeah!)
Prayers up for a young nigga who achieved this (Oh yeah!)
Prayers up for a young nigga who ain’t meet the jail (Oh yeah!)
Staring at the numbers, hoping that them shits elevate
Ho, that resumé looking hella great
Head game sound like ferricelli
But posture looking elegant
So entertain baby, entertain
Entertain, entertain, entertain, entertain
In her Klingbeils doing figure 8’s
Bent down looking like an A
So that relevé better decimate
Decimals, better stay away
Levitate, nigga levitate—levitate, lit, levitate
Entertain, nigga entertain
I’m worth every ducket that they paying me, whoo!
[Outro]
God...

[Verse 1]
Cocoa got chocolate
She working for some pocket
But it’s no good, no good
(No good, no good)
Choking on a consequence
No single bit of confidence
She’s misunderstood (misunderstood)
Updraft, through the ranks ’til the morning comes
Light work for someone who isn’t anyone (yeah)
[Hook]
So crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
[Post-Hook]
Running through the air tonight
Screaming for a second life
Feel the fire deep inside
From ash you’ll coalesce
And soon you’ll rise again
[Verse 2]
Cocoa got chocolate
She working for some pocket
But it’s no good, no good
(No good, no good)
Choking on a consequence
No single bit of confidence
She’s misunderstood (misunderstood)
Updraft, girl the corridors are lighting up
Bright red in the echoes leaving only sons
[Hook]
So crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
Crawl (crawl)
[Post-Hook]
Running through the air tonight
Screaming for a second life
Feel the fire deep inside
From ash you’ll coalesce
And soon you’ll rise again
Running through the air tonight
Screaming for a second life
Feel the fire deep inside
From ash you’ll coalesce
And soon you’ll rise again
[Interlude]
“911, what’s your emergency?"
*sirens*
Cocoa? Cocoa? Cocoa?
Cocoa? Cocoa? Cocoa?
Cocoa? Cocoa? Cocoa?
Cocoa? Cocoa? Cocoa?
[Outro]
Cocoa are you conscious?
We’ve been calling out
Responses have been no good
No good, no good, no—

Going Under (Interlude)
03:07
|
|||
[Verse 1]
When you called I was falling through autumn
With part of me gone ’til the Spring
But oh—girl, did you save me?
I was bawling and all of my tears turned to rain
Whether I’m sane doesn’t matter
Cause how does that change things?
[Break 1]
When I lose all my pride, I'll smile
When I've done all I tried, I'll go
When I lose all my pride, I'll smile
When I've done all I tried, I'll go
[Verse 2]
Drowning, left just to suffer
Hope we recover and set the pace
Bound to a trench meant for lovers
But somehow got smothered along the way
I know no one’s searching, why?—beats me
But I’m too stubborn to let you fade
So I will dive, 'til I can’t breathe
Just to find you, find you, find you, find you
[Break 2]
Get—get, get down now
Get, get—get, get down
[Outro]
(Dive, drop, work, go—)
Going under, going under
(Go—dive, drop, work, go—)
Going under, going under
(Go—dive, drop, work, go—)
Going under, going under
(Go—dive, drop, work, go—)
Going under, going under

[Intro]
I’m not one for diamonds
But diamonds is all I—
Diamonds is all I—
[Verse 1]
You are so awful
You stole my breath away
You took my sorrows
Sold them for better things
Cause you—knew I like the sunshine
Nifty yachts, pretty women
I’m too awkward sometimes
I cannot handle the way
That they say that this world should work
I’d rather stay back at home
Where I’m safe ’til the worst occurs
[Pre-Hook]
But if you'd like the glory, I’m sorry
I led you on to think that money was all I wanted
I'm not that heartless and guarded
When I spend my time with you
But you know they flock and they linger
When rocks weigh your fingers
And nobody else can reduce
All of the shine that you make
They'll take it away,
But why have it if I can't have you
[Hook]
Cause I'm not one for diamonds
But diamonds all I got
If you ever see me without one
Know my times run out
So everyday I play the fool of glamor and fame
Head to toe in luxury
Cause diamonds all I got
Cause diamonds is all I—
Cause diamonds is all I—
[Verse 2]
Had, ’til I came up and came past you
Damn, I can't hold none of this past you
Need more of us girl it's past due
I called you up just to ask you
If you'd like the sunshine
On your neck, in your element—sometime
I'd like to prove that our problems dissolve
Over warm dessert
I'd like a room where our followers aren't
To show your worth
[Pre-Hook]
But if you'd like the glory, I’m sorry
I led you on to think that money was all I wanted
I'm not that heartless and guarded
When I spend my time with you
But you know they flock and they linger
When rocks weigh your fingers
And nobody else can reduce
All of the shine that you make
They'll take it away,
But why have it if I can't have you
[Hook]
Cause I'm not one for diamonds
But diamonds all I got
If you ever see me without one
Know my times run out
So everyday I play the fool of glamor and fame
Head to toe in luxury
Cause diamonds all I got
Cause diamonds is all I—
Cause diamonds is all I—

Paper Girl

[Hook]
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
But I think you gold
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
But I think you gold
For what it's worth
[Verse 1]
Thought I was one of them niggas
I figured you'd admire
It’s autumn I’m falling for you
Harder than Zeus and Titans
Harder than Spain had did the Mayans
Flew you to Zion—guess that wasn’t enough
Where did I drop the ball?
I’m sure I’ve probably called you whether or not
I’m overseas or in Montreal with all of my dawgs
But cannot recall whenever we talked
So what is the cause?
Gave you my card, said buy you a dress
But you took it wrong, bought all of the mall
You blame me for us not having enough—I believe you
But you don’t ever see this paper girl—the way I see it
You gotta be a monster
Just to be sponsored by these cretins
And you’re in love with demons
And I just ain't want you leaving
So I just went from—
[Pre-Hook]
3rd Kyu, to 3rd Saiyan
Stacking payments from the third floor to the earth
Chasing every brink of insanity
Trucking through all this vanity
Just to get your attention
Not to mention, I hate actors and fake rappers
They got it easy
They get to be someone else for a week
Then paid weekly
You see them on the TV all the time
But all I see is them stealing your heart
And making us grow apart
You don’t wanna be mine
Mostly since you don’t ever hear my name
Or ever see my face in places you frequently visit
Say Mrs. Payday have you ever been paid
Or paid digits longer than your green extensions?
I haven’t, but for you I’d take the world at large
Just to hear you scream my name
And see you flaunt my every cause cause—
[Hook]
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
But I think you gold
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
But I think you gold
For what it's worth
[Post-Hook]
Paper girl I know that I could be
Much worse to you
But paper girl I told you
I would change the world for you
[Verse 2]
That’s why I’m out here fucking—
Annihilating leviathans in verse
Ain't I heinous?
I'm gyrating niggas out here or in hiatus
In higher places finding cadence in verbs
And I make it for her and I say I rehearse
But, really I'm nothing but criminal
I ain't happy, I'm mostly an immigrant to these girls
Who ain't invite my appearances
Need a rev in insurance of residual love
My current state ain’t endurable
Panic when I'm at urinals
Laugh when I'm at funerals
Neither one of those curable
Probably both are related
And probably everyone hates it
Probably everyone hates it
Probably you know everybody
Who probably hates it
And probably you hate me
Probably you hate me
But I ended up taking
Everyone’s basic needs
And sending them straight to me
So I can shop them to you
In exchange of you loving me
But you wasn’t loving me
’Til I had copped diamond rings
For all of my family
And showed up on magazine covers
As a common thief
I’m mean mugging three dozens
Of Brahmin briefcases at my feet
When I’m coming home—I’m honored, really
But this shit isn't nothing like me
And I’m out of theories
You built a beast at Build-A-Bear
With not a care in the world
Of what cost it be
Even if that cost was me
And all of this shit that I’m becoming
We’re slaves this paper girl—it’s disgusting
Not sure at what point anymore I’ll be something
Cause I just went from—
[Pre-Hook]
3rd Kyu, to 3rd Saiyan—I’m just saying
Stacking payments from the third floor to the earth
Chasing every brink of insanity
Trucking through all this vanity
Just to get your attention
Not to mention, I hate actors and fake rappers
They got it easy
They get to be someone else for a week
Then paid weekly
You see them on TV all the time
But all I see is them stealing your heart
And making us grow apart
You don’t wanna be mine
Mostly since you don’t ever hear my name
Or ever see my face in places you frequently visit
Say Mrs. Payday have you ever been paid
Or paid digits longer than your green extensions?
I haven’t, but for you I’d take the world at large
Just to hear you scream my name
And see you flaunt my every cause cause—
[Hook]
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
But I think you gold
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
I think you've heard of me
I think you know, I think you've grown
I'd put you on
I think you burglaring
I think you gold
For what it's worth
[Post-Hook]
Paper girl I know that I could be
Much worse to you
But paper girl I told you
I would change the world for you
For what it’s worth…
[Outro]
"That’s why I’m out here fucking—"
