Lyrics I Cannot Be (A Sadder Song) (with Gunna) - Gunna , Post Malone

Oh-oh, oh, mmm

How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I beam when you blocking my light?
I cannot be, what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?
So tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

Yeah, ooh, what you wanna do is tell me off, no
What you wanna do is fuck me up, ooh
What you not gon' do is top me off
So excuse me for an hour while I love myself

You told me you'd protect my heart, you'd be my goalie
Thinking 'bout the bullshit that you sold me
And I know that I ain't perfect, but you so mean
We were homies

You trip me up just to watch me fall
Smoke another cigarette, wash the last one down
So down, down 'til I'm flat on my face
You're the reason why I get so high

How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I beam when you blocking my light?
I cannot be, what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?
So tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

Got a custom diamond ring and no, he don't got a wife
Got a large amount of things, I can't total the price
I told her I don't need her, she can leave out my life (leave out my life)
You only get one try, but if it's lit, we go twice (we go twice)

Uh, pull up in a hard top, it's a drop top (drop top)
Told you we'd be multimillionaires, why lie? (Why lie?)
She know I do not care for no pressin' my mind
The federal skeleton on my wrist say prime-time (prime-time)

How couldn't you just let me be me?
You starting to be measly (measly)
I couldn't even find out 'cause you leaving me (leaving me)
You can tell I'm pure, you feel my energy (energy)
Really rich, we ain't living free
Got to keep it solid and we all agree

How am I free when you hold me so tight?
How can I beam when you blocking my light?
I cannot be, what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be

How can I see when you cover my eyes?
And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?
So, tell me right now what you want me
What you want me, what you want me to be (so tell me what you want me to be)

Ooh, ah, ah, ah, ah
