I just can not wait, I can not wait To get me a taste, get me a taste Of this crazy thing called fame, this thing called fame Bittersweet and frail I can see my name in golden frames I can feel the hail of endless praise Drip down my skin and nails, the lion's mane Free of flaws and stains I'm on a trail of the Holy Grail The power to make the people crave For me, getting away with anything Free from guilt and blame I'll say whatever you want to hear I'll crawl for my moment I'll do whatever I ought to To bring dreams of Cadillacs, gold and cognac closer I was not always this ardent The cold world left my heart dented Since the thought has been tempting me The flashing lights and the friends Where will the sun rise When will my sun rise I've gazed at the moonlight Where will the sun rise When will my sun rise I've gazed at the moonlight [I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me] I just can not wait, I can not wait To break the chilly chains Flee from this jail of this crazy thing called fame No one to blame But myself, my vain self The flashing lights, the apple's taste Brought out all of the snakes Tears and champaigne flow My grizzled mane carries the stains of the past profile gone pale I thought I could fix what is broken I'm stuck in this cage like a rodent Every word I say corrodes me Yet I keep coming back for more Where will the sun rise When will my sun rise I've gazed at the moonlight Where will the sun rise When will my sun rise I've gazed at the moonlight [I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me] When will the sun rise? I'm done with the moonlight Is this what you want? Do you want to make a trade-off? Somebody notice me Notice me I'm standing here Notice me I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me I'm waiting for my moment Hey, somebody notice me

Guess who just woke up? 2PM, the same pokerface Stains, traces of Coca Cola on my main outfit Privileged, milk it for all its worth Sitting through the seasons with the folded spine The perks of the Playstation pounding: mom just keeps on hounding "Get a job, build yourself a founding or you'll be drowning in the quicksand howling, haunted by your lounging Always have a plan Z 'round you, twenty-two and counting" Blurry mind, surrounded I let out a resounding 'YES' Shouting like a boy scout in a taut knot-tying competition Ambition all in adagio You're no Fabio, just a sweet dreamer M'lady's your aria White walls still surround your Fortnite meme malaria The highlight of your day was a copter's whir in your area The twilight's here again, you're up with your mates playing Flame emojis, yet some of them barely remember your name Stale pizza and Pizzagate with fizzy drinks, it's 4AM Slow drags on the cigarette Hunchback-stance like Mr. Burns I can still see the girls and their stankfaces Amazes me how basic they are All the greatness they can't see Blame it on the mating laws, mind games, stasis, famous faces, braces, ladies' crazy brains, short chats, freemasons, other races, Oasis My back hurts Spoiler alert: hypertension My hand affirms there'll be no turns for the worse Pornhub's a friend Just burn that herb Life like in Groundhog Day Every day's the same, the same games you play You swear you've got the aim All those dreams of fame you like to entertain You're in for some rain Emptiness remains, you don't know who to blame Another slow weekend quickly passing by Cause it's another slow day quickly passing by

Hey there, girl Can't you finally notice me? Yeah, I've been staying on the grind, oh can't you see that? Working hard and learning how to speak to a woman like you I just wanna hold your hand Oh yes, I do I do, baby Ralph Lauren polos, Gucci on my feet and the Hugo Boss watch on my wrist, the cost gives me a fever I know how to drive, flow, fight, fuck, fencepost and handstand You'd rather be with him, they keep telling me the same damn words Man Live a little and don't forget to breathe Be yourself and you'll see... It's always a maybe, my life feels so lukewarm Wake up Brush your teeth and grab a coffee Go to work and open a door for the madam Work, work, work Get back home and make an Insta post with a filter You don't really look like that, do you? Hey there, girl Do you still remember me? I've been staying on the grind, I'm doing well Yeah, working hard, I'm not into you anymore Yeah, I swear those days are long past I'm way too busy for all of that I swear ... I swear, I swear Is that your flame, that your type, yeah right You'll be back, blame this boy 'bout being right Another day with your eyes on your car keys Swiping through Tinder Forum-binging, crying while nobody's witnessing Live a little and don't forget to breathe Be yourself and you'll see... Life through a filter, pretend it ain't so lukewarm Live a little and don't forget to breathe Be yourself, stop searching Life through a filter, pretend it ain't so lukewarm Swipe left, right Left, left, right Left, left, right Can't you see that I'm nice? [Swipe left, right Swipe left, right Left, left, right Can't you see that I'm nice? Swipe, right, right Right, right, right Right, right, right, right, right, right] If I'm not perfect am I worthy? There's nothing wrong with me, don't worry If I'm not perfect am I worthy? There's something wrong with me, I worry

I never thought I'd live this life Money pouring in every hour Old pals sending fake love I've worked hard to get this far I got my piece of the pie, it's all mine I just can't get enough of all this, baby Sex, drugs, cash, it's so addicting, baby I just can't get enough of all this, baby No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no You might say I have no heart But why look for love when you can have power? They never had time for me Now I never have time Money never sleeps, it makes the world go round I just can't get enough of all this, baby Sex, drugs, cash, it's so addicting, baby I just can't get enough of all this, baby No, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no

Feeling like lucid dreaming [This is what the dreams are made of, 2020] It started out just like in the movies A new man's new life, the change looming Overnight successes, excesses, a long line of ex's I don't intend to flex yet here I stand above the pyramid's eyebag Self-made, far from the staleness of that suburb with no message, no edges Now it's a Wall Street view I get to see, the New York City lights that never dim I get to sleep when I'm six feet deep, these seats won't come cheap Kobe beef with plates full of truffle treats Feelin' like I'm still lucid dreaming Shoulder-rubbing with all of the Baldwins and Charles Koch in the hallway I exceed expectations every single morning That's the reason I'm calling It started out like in any film scene Where the dark storm clouds devour the screen The workrooms surging every week, all I'd hear Would be the ringing phones and the shaping of big dreams Briefcases with tailored suits Sips of gin as my life fuel I was smelling the roses made from the folded banknotes See, the roses really smelled like WOAH Is there still time Is there still time before tomorrow It started out like in any film scene I'd been too blind to notice the handwriting On the wall, I'd rather party hard with Charlie "The dam would come down" the people kept warning me I laughed it off burning bridges as a hobby I'd be higher than the sun in a heartbeat See, I was born to make money, I'd curse These people don't know me I am the genius, I am the god's gift Then one day I turned on the TV- Is there still time Is there still time before tomorrow That's why I'm calling you, please Help me, that's all I need I thought I'd need nobody near me Help me, please please Please Please What am I gonna do without money Answer me Please please Is there still time Is there still time before tomorrow

Dragged back to the bottom of the food-chain moaning Should I blame myself or should I just own it? Always was, always will be this neurotic Downgrading from suites to cheap motel's rodents Could slowly turn anyone rather stoic Friends don't return calls back, only the bottle fucks me hard while I sit back and do nothing Dead erections, horny and dejected, ain't that ironic? Huh? The daily smell of dried beer mixed with xanax The hand searching for needles, I'll break the habit Once I'm out of this cell that's interactive Double-check the window with every passing moment Never know when the government's there Finger itching, better call my new friends Haven't slept well since God only knews when Once upon a time I would have cared I would have cared Welcome back, been a while [Been a while] What's up, aight - business time [aight] Cash in hand, close the blinds [sure] Just stack the goods on the bedside [bedside] 6PM, low-key fried [fried] These empty walls would suck a life [oo] Out of the mild, I don't mind [you don't mind] Got the crank, pupils dilated I might violate myself It feels so good right now Wait, is that a siren? [huh] Something is up [yeah] Look outside, someone must have called the cops [fuck] Flush the drugs down the drain It's a getaway or bust Flush, flush, flush, Fuck, fuck, fuck #$@&%*! Someone's at the door Someone's at the door Can you hear the knock? Quickly, grab the gun Prepare to run *bang bang*

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Roll the red carpet, I'm back All primed and gleaming I've been thinking about our past and I've got you something A small surprise that should liven up your days You'll be pleading for me to come back the way I was You must be dreaming Dreaming Graffitied walls that you left behind, the numbness turned despairing I don't blame you for not seeing the signs The spitmarks I've been bearing There's one more secret I reckon I should be sharing If I go to hell you're coming with me Quid pro quo Favour for a favour Eye for an eye Life for a life Now the barrel talks [You're coming with me] Quid pro quo Favour for a favour Eye for an eye Life for a life Now the barrel talks Quid pro quo

I admit I've made mistakes Please forgive me for being so short-sighted I've been so wrong, a man nailed to his flaws It's all turned to rust It's all my fault My prayers like whispers in the wind I wish I could start over, sober Now that the smoke's gone The battle's been lost It's all turned to rust and now I'm stuck in this purgatory It's all my fault Rust, rust, rust, rust, rust It's all my fault Nobody's fault but mine
