Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

I think I started somethin’

I got what I wanted

Did-didn’t, I can’t feel nothin’, superhuman

Even when I’m fuckin’, Viagra poppin’

Every single record, autotunin’

Zero emotion, muted emotion

Pitch-corrected, computed emotion, uh-huh

I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile, ow

Stripper booty and a rack like wow

Brain like Berkeley

Met her at Coachella

I went to see Jigga, she went to see Z Trip

Perfect

I took a seat on the ice cold lawn

She handed me a ice blue bong, whatever

She said she wanna be a dentist really badly

She’s in school paying for tuition doing porn in the Valley

At least you working

But, girl, I can’t feel my face

What are we smokin’ anyway?

She said don’t let the high go to waste

But can you taste a little taste of

Novocaine, baby, baby

Novocaine, baby, I want you

Fuck me good, fuck me long, fuck me numb

Love me now, when I’m gone love me none

Love me none, love me none

Numb, numb, numb, numb

Sink full of dishes, pacing in the kitchen

Cocaine for breakfast

Yikes

Bed full of women

Flip on a tripod, little red light on Shooting, I’m feeling like Stanley Kubrick

This is some visionary shit

Been tryna film pleasure with my eyes wide shut, but it keeps on moving

I blame it on the model broad with the Hollywood smile

Stripper booty with a rack like wow

I’ll never forget you

You put me on a feeling I never had, never had, never had (never)

And ever since I’ve been tryna get it back

You pick it up and put it back

Now I’m something like the chemist on campus

But there’s no drug around

Quite like what I found in you, you I still can’t feel my face

What am I smokin’ anyway?

She said don’t let the high go to waste

But can you taste a little taste of?

Novocaine, baby, baby

Novocaine, baby, I want you

Fuck me good, fuck me long, fuck me numb

Love me now, when I’m gone, love me none

Love me none, love me none

Numb, numb, numb, numb

Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine (oh, oh, oh)

Numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain, numb the pain (yeah)

Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine (oh, ho)

For the pain, for the pain (ooh, huh)

Novocaine, Novocaine

Oh-huh, oh-huh, ho-huh

Oh-huh, oh-ho, ho-ho-huh

Oh-huh, oh-huh, ho-huh

Oh-huh, oh-ho, ho-ho-huh

Pretty girls involved with me

Makin’ pretty love to me, pretty, pity, pity

All the pretty girls involved with me

Makin’ pretty love to me, pretty, pity, pity

I can’t feel a thing

I can’t feel, can’t feel a thing

Can’t feel a thing, can’t feel, feel, feel, feel her

I can’t feel, feel her

Novocaine, Novocaine, Novocaine

I can’t feel, feel her

Novocaine for the pain, for the pain

I can’t, can’t feel, feel her, feel her

Novocaine, Novocaine, cane, cane, cane

Poolside convo about your summer last night

Ooh yeah, about your summer last night

Ain’t give you no play, mm

Could I make you shive last night?

Could I make you shy on the last night? (Last night)

Could we make it in? Do we have time?

I’ll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight

Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white

You cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life

Wish I was there, wish we’d grown up on the same advice

And our time was right

Keep a place for me, for me

I’ll sleep between y’all, it’s nothing

It’s nothing, it’s nothing

Keep a place for me, for me

Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry

Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes

I came to visit, ‘cause you see me like a UFO

That’s like never

‘Cause I made you use your self-control

And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control

Keep a place for me, for me

I’ll sleep between y’all, it’s nothing

Keep a place for me

It’s nothing, it’s nothing

It’s nothing, it’s nothing

I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave

Take down some summertime

Give up, just tonight, ‘night, ‘night

I, I, I know you got someone comin’

You’re spittin’ game, oh, you got it

I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave

Take down some summertime

Give up, just tonight, ‘night, ‘night

I, I, I know you got someone comin’

You’re spittin’ game, oh, you got it

Yeah

I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave

Take down some summertime

Give up, just tonight, ‘night, ‘night

I, I, I know you got someone comin’

You’re spittin’ game, oh, you got it

That’s a pretty big trunk on my Lincoln town car, ain’t it?

Big enough to take these broken hearts and put ‘em in it

Now I’m drivin’ ‘round on the boulevard, trunk bleedin’

And everytime the cops pull me over, they don’t ever see them

They never see them

And I’ve got this black suit on Roamin’ around like I’m ready for a funeral

Five more miles till the road runs out

I’m about to drive in the ocean

I’ma try to swim from somethin’ bigger than me

Kick off my shoes

And swim good, and swim good

Take off this suit

And swim good, and swim good, good

Got some pretty good beats on this 808 CD, yeah

Memory seats I’m sittin’ on stay heated

I woulda put tints on my windows but what’s the difference?

If I feel like a Ghost, no Swayze

Ever since I lost my baby

I’ve had this black suit on Roamin’ around like I’m ready for a funeral

One more mile till the road runs out

I’m about to drive in the ocean

I’ma try to swim from somethin’ bigger than me

Kick off my shoes

And swim good, and swim good

Take off this suit

And swim good, and swim good, good

I’m goin’ off (oh, my pretty love)

Don’t try stoppin’ me

I’m goin’ off (throw me a line)

Don’t try savin’ me (broke my heart)

No flares (broke my heart)

No vest (drove my love)

And no fear

Waves are washin’ me out

I’m about to drive in the ocean

I’ma try to swim from somethin’ bigger than me

Kick off my shoes

And swim good, and swim good

Take off this suit

And swim good, and swim good, good

Don’t die

Wiseman closed his mouth

Madman closed his fist

Young man shows his age

Judge man named it sin

Bad man don’ exist, no

No evil man exists

Good man don’t exist, no

No righteous man exists

Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see

Never witnessed father weep

This old man thought it weak

But strong man don’t exist

No undying man exists

Weak man don’t exist, no

Just flesh and blood exists

But your mother would be proud of you

I bet your mother would be proud of you, ooh

The beast will crawl this earth

Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows

They’ll rip apart his flesh

‘Til all that’s left is glorious bone

So you’ll bury your own

Too vain

You saw it unfold

What you know

And you claimed all you could hold

Until death did you part from the mess you made

Beautiful Things

Benson Boone

I bet your mother would be proud of you

I bet your mother would be proud of you

Primate sharpens tool

To survive and thrive in the jungle

Maybe hearts were made to pump blood

Maybe lungs were made for flood

I won’t blunt my blade for cutting these chains

Rather let my limbs be drug through mud

You’re my brother, but your eyes are cold

You’re my sister, but your womb is bare

I bet our mother would be proud of you (You, you, you)

I bet our mother would be proud of you (Mother would be proud)

Bad man don’t exist

No evil man exists

I know good man don’t exist

No righteous man exists

Strong man don’t exist

No undying man exists

Weak man don’t exist

No, just flesh and blood exists

You, you, you

You, you

(I bet your mother would be proud, uhh)

(I bet your mother would be proud, ooh)

I thought that I was dreamin’ when you said you love me

The start of nothin’

I had no chance to prepare, I couldn’t see you comin’

The start of nothin’

Ooh, I could hate you now

It’s quite alright to hate me now

When we both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

If I could see through walls

I could see you’re faking

If you could see my thoughts

You would see our faces

Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then

We didn’t give a fuck back then

I ain’t a kid no more

We’ll never be those kids again

We’d drive to Syd’s, had the back then

Back then

No matter what I did

My waves wouldn’t dip back then

Everything sucked back then

We were friends

I thought that I was dreamin’ when you said you loved me

The start of nothin’

I had no chance to prepare, I couldn’t see you comin’

The start of nothin’

Ooh, I could hate you now

It’s quite alright to hate me now

But we both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

In the halls of your hotel

Arm around my shoulder so I could tell

How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then

We had time to kill back then

You ain’t a kid no more

We’ll never be those kids again

It’s not the same, ivory’s illegal

Don’t you remember?

I broke your heart last week

You’ll probably feel better by the weekend

Still remember, had you going crazy

Screamin’ my name

The feeling deep down is good

I thought that I was dreamin’ when you said you loved me

The start of nothin’

I had no chance to prepare, couldn’t see you comin’

And we started from nothin’

Ooh, I could hate you now

It’s alright to hate me now

We both know that deep down

The feeling still deep down is good

All the things I didn’t mean to say

I didn’t mean to do

There were things you didn’t need to say

Did you mean to? Mean to?

I’ve been dreamin’ of you, dreamin’ of you

I’ve been dreamin’ of you, dreamin’ of you

I’ve been dreamin’, dreamin’

I wanna see your pom-poms from the stands

Come on, come on

My fingertips and my lips

They burn from the cigarettes

Forrest Gump

You run my mind, boy

Running on my mind, boy

Forrest Gump

I know you, Forrest

I know you wouldn’t hurt a beetle

But you’re so buff and so strong

I’m nervous, Forrest

Forrest Gump

My fingertips and my lips

They burn from the cigarettes

Forrest Gump

You run my mind, boy

Running on my mind, boy

Forrest Gump

I saw your game, Forrest

(Well, all eyes are on number forty-four)

I was screaming, “Run forty-four”

But you kept running past the end zone

(He could just be the stupidest son of a bitch alive)

Oh, where’d you go, Forrest? (Sure is fast)

Forrest Gump

My fingertips and my lips

They burn from the cigarettes

Forrest Gump

You run my mind, boy

Running on my mind, boy

Forrest Gump

Forrest green, Forrest blues

I’m remembering you

If this is love, I know it’s true

I won’t forget you

(You, you, oh, you, you) yeah

It’s for you, Forrest (no, no, no, no)

(It’s you, you, oh, you, you)

It’s for you, Forrest

Forrest Gump
