Lyrics wishlist / favorite song ii - TCM Optic

Just give me a wish
A VeryLateXmas atop of your list
20-some months I've been wrapping your gifts
Hit after hit, don't see a miss
This one'll feel like a tab on your lip
This one'll feel like a whole 'nother trip
This one'll take you to Mars and then back
On a crash course headed right for the crib
This for the brothers who said they won't switch
This for them niggas that actually did
Under the tree you'll be happy to see
I got two middle fingers for you and your kid
Stacking my green like a capitalist
Ego and greed, that's what capital is
Don't you know breeze will blow cash in the wind
So just throw up them ones like you don't give a shit
Joke is on you, I got nothing to give
And that nothing to give equals nothing to lose
I can't get caught up in watching the news
When they tweaking bout headlines that ain't even true
I'm trying to ball up and fill up my wallet
Without getting caught up in all of the views
No graduation but still walking stages
Got my cap and gown in the mail for the Zoom
Hey

Forget the bad days
Take off the sad face
Lets gather 'round the fire, pretend it's Christmas all day
Hop in the fast lane
My whip out the Bat Cave
Let's cruise on down the shore, pretend it's Christmas all day
Forget the bad days
Take off the sad face
Lets gather 'round the fire, pretend it's Christmas all day
Hop in the fast lane
My whip out the Bat Cave
Let's cruise on down the shore, pretend it's Christmas all day

Oh by the way
This one might feel like a slap in the face
There ain't no gospel in bottoms of bottles
Apostles will topple around 'till they're 'faced

"But, A-And-And, at the same time
You don't know what someone is going through
And you don't know how easy it is just to get caught up
In something to the point where you can't stop"

"Was going through a drug problem and a uh
And-and I think it was more of my state of mind
I was just pretty depressed, as everyone"
"Even while successful?"
"Yeah, that's, I mean it's, I think it started up"
"With success"
"Yeah"
"How do explain that to yourself?"

"The life now, it-it-it comes with a give-and-take
'Cause I, you know, I'm so happy and I-I'm so blessed
To be able to do what I do
At the same time it's, you know
It's very draining and
You never know what's going to happen next. It's so, it's so"

"At the end of the day
I still thank God for everything that
You know, He's put in front of me
But this materialistic money stuff don't really mean nothin', like
You know my relationship is good, I got money
But there's still other issues to talk about
Other than heartbreak
You've got anxiety
You've got substance abuse
You've got, you know
It's a lot of issues in the world to talk about"

Maybe I'm not ready for the white lies
Angels cutting demons into white lines
Scheming over white wine
Never in my lifetime
Did I think I'd ever be immersed in all the night life
I look up at the skyline
Picture this it's tie-dyed
Saturated heavily with timelines of untimely passings from addicts
Living unfastened
These eulogies are too tragic
I'm sorry for the one who's got to write mine

I took my old poems
Went and rewrote 'em
Hoping that this would put me atop of the totem
Now I'm in the moment
They suit like the moguls
But never red, 'cause devils never wear their own clothing
Was praying and hoping
Waiting 'till I'd find the right rhymes to light up the night sky
Now look, Mama'd say I'm talking out my right mind
But I've come this far along this lonely road
It's my time

To
Lie through my teeth, to
Get high as can be, to
Fly in my dreams, while I
Die in my sleep, to
Cry to my sheets, 'cause
The diamonds lose sheen, and
The grass isn't green, and
The nights ain't unique
To
Lie through my teeth, to
Get high as can be, to
Fly in my dreams, while I
Die in my sleep, to
Cry to my sheets, 'cause
The nights ain't unique
You know what I mean

Take my hand
Rest your head
Go to sleep
Don't be scared
Wipe those tears
From your cheek
Up we go
To the land
Of your dreams
We'll be there in the blink of an eye

Take my hand
Rest your head
Go to sleep
Don't be scared
Wipe those tears
From your cheek
Up we go
To the land
Of your dreams
It was only a matter of time
