The first time I heard 808’s and heartbreak…
Was way back in two-thousand-and-eight –
And I thought about making a mixtape
Six years later, how the fuck I ain’t gain no weight?
–
I’m not talkin’ ’bout that cake – wait
I don’t mean to confuse,
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m just in a smart ass mood
.
.
.
.
.
.
But I don’t mean to be rude
.
.
.
.I don’t mean to be rude
You can have your cake and eat it to
Yeah,
Drink some Malibu in Malibu
Drinkin’ Malibu in Malibu
Yeah – Bugatti
(*laugh)
They say money doesn’t buy happiness,
Have you ever seen a sad person on a jet-ski?
Yeah,
Half a decade’s a little late
–
But go ahead –
Say what you need to say –
‘Cause you’re not a rapper anyway –
‘Cause you’re not a rapper anyway –
So say what you need to say
Yeah you promised some change
But you’re not whippin’ a Range
Yes life is fucking strange
So who knows
I saw
That’s what you get when you
‘Cause I promised change too and now I’m
Took me six years to start writing this poetic mixtape
But I thought about it back then – I just didn’t see it comin back around
and now it’s all a self-fulfilling prophecy
I just
’cause I thought about it from day one but I ain’t know one day I’d return
Guess I had to go through another heartache
I just wanted to remix it I ain’t wanted to relive it
to actually start making my with a mixtape
So how am I making the same fuckin’ mistakes
Thought the song would be different but it’s soundin’ like a missed take
It’s a different girl but I ain’t in a different world
From 20k months at 24 – to 28 nights back on the floor
it’s the backdrop for my first poetic mixtape
Way before I ‘caught my third heartache
I made 20k a month at twenty four
Now I’m back to the floor
mistakes I made before the age of 28
long before this heartbreak –
I knew I’d put words on these songs
When I first met you I didn’t know I’d end up alone
Now winter’s coming it’s no Game of Thrones
‘Cause the rents overdue and she’s cuttin’ off my phone
How you gonna let your boy go through this alone
Can’t see her through these eyes
Winter’s coming – no game of thrones
