  • 'Round your city, 'round the clock
    Everybody needs you
    No, you can't make everybody equal
    Although you got beaucoup family
    You don't even got nobody bein' honest with you
    Breathe 'til I evaporated
    My whole body see-through
    Transportation, handmade (G)
    And I know it better than most people
    I don't trust 'em anyways
    You can't break the law with them
    Get some gushy, have a calm night
    Shooters killin' left and right
    Workin' through your worst night
    If I get my money right
    You know I won't need you
    And I tell you (bitch)
    I hope the sack is full up
    I'm fuckin', no, I'm fucked up
    Spend it when I get that
    I ain't tryna keep you
    Can't keep up a conversation
    Can't nobody reach you
    Why your eyes well up? (Breathe)
    Did you call me from a séance?
    You are from my past life
    Hope you're doin' well, bruh (breathe)
    I been out here head first
    Always like the head first
    Signal comin' in and out
    Hope you're doin' well, bruh
    Everybody needs you
    Everybody needs you
    Ooh, 'nani-'nani
    This feel like a Quaalude
    No sleep in my body
    Ain't no bitch in my body (ah)

    New beginnings, ah
    New beginnings, wake up, akh
    The sun's goin' down
    Time to start your day, bruh
    Can't keep bein' laid off
    Know you need the money if you gon' survive
    Every night shit, every day shit

    Droppin' baby off at home before my night shift
    You know I can't hear none of that "spend the night" shit
    That kumbaya shit
    Wanna see nirvana, but don't wanna die yet
    Wanna feel that 'na-'na though, could you come by?
    Fuck with me after my shift
    Know them boys wanna see me broke down and shit
    Bummed out and shit, stressed out and shit
    That's every day shit
    Shut the fuck up, I don't want your conversation
    Rollin' marijuana, that's a cheap vacation
    My every day shit, every night shit, my every day shit
    (Every night shit, night shit, night shit, night shit)

    All my night, been ready for you all my night
    Been waitin' on you all my night
    I'll buzz you in, just let me know when you're outside
    All my night, you been missin' all my night
    Still got some good nights memorized
    And the look back's gettin' me right

    Every night fucks every day up
    Every day patches the night up (night, come on)
    On God, you should match it, it's that KO (that KO, God)
    No white lighters 'til I fuck my twenty-eighth up (fire)
    1998, my family had that Acura (fire)
    Oh, the Legend (fire)
    Kept at least six discs in the changer (yeah-yeah)
    Back when Boswell and Percy had it active (massive)
    Couple bishops in the city buildin' mansions (massive)
    All the reverends (massive, massive, ooh)
    Preachin' self-made millionaire status (yeah, yeah)
    When we could only eat at Shoney's on occasion (yeah, yeah)
    After 'Trina hit, I had to transfer campus (yeah, yeah)
    Your apartment out in Houston's where I waited (yeah, yeah, ooh)
    Stayin' with you when I didn't have a address (ooh)
    Fuckin' on you when I didn't own a mattress (fuckin' on you)
    Workin' on a way to make it outta Texas, every night (right now, right now, right now)

    Droppin' baby off at home before my night shift, yeah (yeah)
    You know I can't hear none of that "spend the night" shit
    That kumbaya shit
    Wanna see nirvana, but don't wanna die yet
    Wanna feel that 'na-'na though, could you come by?
    Fuck wit' me after my shift
    You know them boys wanna see me broke down
    See me bummed out, stressed out
    That's just everyday shit
    Shut the fuck up, I don't want your conversation
    Rollin' marijuana, that's a cheap vacation (day shit)
    Every day shit, every night shit (every day shit, every night shit)
    Every day shit, every day shit (every night shit, every night shit)
    Every day shit, every day shit (every night shit, every night shit)
    Every day shit (every night shit) Writer/s: Buddy Ross, Charles Christopher Breaux, Joseph Thornally, Michael Uzowuru
