  • When I stare in your eyes
    You'll be there forever
    To watch our life (to watch our life together)
    You just like going to Heaven (my heart)
    Oh, your vanity
    I'm fallin', and I'm drownin'
    But you're takin' me

    One thousand on my feet
    Stacks spreaded on my seat
    Ten thousand on my eyes

    Rollie Pollie on my wrist
    Gotta make a flight, big day, slummin' on FaceTime
    Fifty K, wonderin' why I'm stormin' off, no race
    Emboldened by the bliss
    I was sworn in by a kiss
    Late from the country cadence
    No peacemaker, I sweep up cases
    Goin' on a walk with a new suit armor
    New suit dead, Bottega, that's on it
    Give me the heat from the sleep, then I harm her
    Cupid creep in, sleep with a hammer
    Three time to get me T-T-T'd
    Still same phone, AT&T
    Still givin' news very vividly
    Beefin' up, fuck a beef
    Smokin' on some vicious type of reefer (huh)
    I need no beef, no cheese (yeah)
    Even when I eat, they cheat (uh)
    Every time we meet, naïve

    When I stare in your eyes
    Still be there forever
    To watch our life (to watch out life together)
    You just like going to Heav- (my heart)

    One thousand on my feet
    Stacks spreaded on my seat
    Ten thousand on my eyes (eyes)

    Yeah, it's mad how it gets so deep
    It's mad how I gets so hot
    It's mad how you get me by (by)

    It's me, it's me, it's me, it's-

    Look in my eyes, tell me a tale
    Do you see the road, a map to my soul?
    Look, tell me the signs whenever the smoke clear out of my face
    Am I picture-perfect, or do I look fried?
    All of that green and yellow, that drip from your eyes is tellin'
    Tell you demise, I went to my side
    To push back the ceilin', and push back the feelings, I had to decide
    I replay them nights
    And right by my side all I see is a sea of people that ride with me
    If they just knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child
    The things I created became the most weighted
    I gotta find balance and keep me inspired
    Yeah, yeah
    That shit wild, instead I'm a hero
    I took it from zero, LaFlame Usain
    I run it from miles, this shit wasn't luck
    They got me fucked up, I put you on bust and take you around
    A couple of guys inside of that school, I gave 'em the tools to get it off ground
    They say they the ones when they make the errors
    Can't look in the mirror, that shit wild
    I stand on the stage, I give 'em the rage
    No turnin' it down, can't tame it, can't follow it
    We do it in streets, we do it for keeps
    We do it for rights, got fifty-two weeks
    This shit ain't for pleasure, I'm comin' to tweak
    This shit is forever and infinity
    Number eight, yeah, we write it and wrap it around
    I take me beat and I turn into a beast
    Bought the crib on a hill, made it harder to reach
    Bought a couple more whips 'cause I needed more speed
    Bought a couple more watches, I needed more time
    Didn't buy the condo, it was smarter to lease
    And I bought some more ice 'cause I brought in the heat
    Made a cast of my dick, so she never gon' cheat
    If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don't blink Writer/s: Dua Saleh, Ebony Oshunrinde, Jacques Webster, Joseph Thornalley, Josiah Sherman, Justin Vernon, Sampha Sisay, Wesley Glass
