[Part I]

[Verse 1]

'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)

[Pre-Chorus]

New beginnings, ahh

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

[Chorus]

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 wit' 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

Every day shit (Every night shit, night shit, night shit, night shit)

[Bridge]

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

[Part II]

[Verse 2]

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, ooh)

Stayin' with you when I didn't have a address (Ooh)

Fuckin' on you when I didn't own a mattress (Fuckin')

Workin' on a way to make it outta Texas

Every night (Right now, right now, right now)

[Chorus]

Droppin' baby off at home before my night shift, yeah

You know I can't hear none of that "spend the night" shit

That kumbaya shit

Want to see nirvana, but don't wanna die yet

Wanna feel that 'na-'na, though, could you come by?

Fuck wit' me after my shift

Know them boys wanna see me broke down

Bummed out, stressed out

That's just every day shit

Shut the fuck up, I don't want your conversation

Rollin' marijuana, that's a cheap vacation

Every day shit, every day shit

Every night shit, every day shit

Every day shit, every day shit

Every day shit, every night shit
