Ye-ah
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
I saw you dancing when it’s said and done
I saw you passing with your man, enough
I saw you kissing with your man, enough
I dont know why I run away
Ill make you cry when I run away
Scared of loving, I wasn’t man enough
Was scared of touching, when you get it on
I really do miss you, would you make it home?
I don’t want you searching, would you make it on?
I dont know why I run away
Ill make you cry when I run away
Take me back cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Take me back cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
Scared of loving, I wasn’t man enough
Was scared of touching, when you gеt it on
I really do miss you, would you make it home?
I don’t want you sеarching, would you make it on?
I dont know why I run away
Ill make you cry when I run away
Take me back cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Take me back cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
I don’t know why I run away...
I’ll make you cry when I run away
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day |
Alleged Lyrics
30 shots up in my Glock, I call Steph Curry |
I realized, I belong to you
I feel the darkness when away from you, eh
Dont stop your lovin, walk out on me
Dont stop for nothin, youre what I bleed
I learned to love you the way you need
Cause I know whats pain, this is not the same
Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you, eh
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
I was too busy tryna find you with someone else
The one I couldnt stand to be with was myself
Cause Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Pick up your phone, you gotta let it, oh
If I die tonight, would you regret it, whoa?
Dont stop your lovin, its all I have
Dont stop for nothin, do it on time
But what Im before, you know what happens
Cause I know whats pain, this is not the same
Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you, oh
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
I was too busy tryna find you with someone else
The one I couldnt stand to be with was myself
Cause Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
When I feel the love, did it safely
Its just everyone, ooh, yeah
Not makin up, cause Im insane
Now we know, on me, me
Id be nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing without you
Without you, without you, without you |

Hannah and Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
And youll know her
Hannah and Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
Ooh yeah
When a shot turns a stare
Into a smile
And a smile slips off the strap
From her dress
She has no confidence
She fears His holiness
Her life is nothing but a test
Cause the Bible commands her to resist the things she most appreciates
So she hides all her demons with her makeup
Hoping that hell open the gates
Hannah be free
Free
Free
Hannah be free
Free
Free
Hannah be free
Hannah meet Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
Hannah be free
Hannah meet Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
Hannah meet Evelyn
Ooh Hannah

Her lips are cold
High heels open toes
Shes hardly wearing any clothes
Shes got her confideant
Her friend dont like men
But does what Evelyn says
And right beside her bedside
In a miniskirt that isnt ever hers
They may call it the bedside
Its the only side I hope she preserves
Evelyns Free
Free
Free
Oh Evelyn, Hannah why dont you be like Evelyn

I got them touching on they body
Oh yeah, I got them touching on they body
I think that we should get acquainted
Like hi whats your name and your agent
These girls born in the 90s are dangerous
So let all just play and get faded
These girls keep touching on they body
These girls keep touching on they body
I think that they should get acquainted
Like hi whats your name and your agent
These girls born in the 90s are dangerous
So lets all just play and get wasted
On your body |
Ask around about her
She dont get emotional
Kill off all her feelings
Thats why she aint approachable
She know her pussy got a fanbase
A couple niggas with a suitcase
Suit and tie niggas who play roleplay
When it comes to money she play no games
She lick it up just like a candy
She wanna make them leave their family
She trying to live a life so fancy
She wanna pull up in a Bentley
She aint got time for lovin
Louis Vuitton her husband
She rather die in lusting
She rather die in the club, till she
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
You know how she get down, pop her for a check now
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
You know how she get down, pop her for a check now
She dont depend on anybody
Know just what to do with her own body
Counting all that money like a hobby
She dont give a fuck about nobody
And she got her whole crew poppin
And she bend it over like she got no back bone
Got a couple niggas blinging up a trap phone
She dont need nobody waiting back home, she got it
She lick it up just like a candy
She wanna make them leave their family
She trying to live a life so fancy
She wanna pull up in a Bentley
She aint got time for lovin
Louis Vuitton her husband
She rather die in lusting
She rather die in the club, till she
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
You know how she get down, pop her for a check now
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
Six feet under she gon get that fucking paper
You know how she get down, pop her for a check now
Real loves hard to find
So she dont waste her time
So she dont waste her time, oooh
You aint gon catch her crying
She aint gon lose her mind
She aint gon lose her mind
Real loves hard to find
So she dont waste her time
So she dont waste her time, oooh

So call out my name
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently

I want you to stay even though you dont want me
Girl, why cant you wait?
Girl, why cant you wait til I fall out of love
Wont you call out my—
Im a, Im a starboy
House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table, cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face, man, I love my baby
You talkin money, need a hearing aid, oh
You talkin bout me, I dont see the shade

Look what youve done
Im a, Im a, Im a starboy
Look what youve done
Im a, Im a, Im a starboy
Look what youve done

Your man on thе road, he doin promo
You said, "Keep our business on the low-low"
Im just tryna gеt you out the friend zone
Cause you look even better than the photos
I cant find your house, send me the info
Drivin through the gated residential
Found out I was comin, sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it, but your friends know
I only call you when its half-past five
The only time that Ill be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When Im ****** up, thats the real me
When Im ****** up, thats the real me, yeah
I only call you when its half-past five
The only time Id ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When Im ****** up, thats the real me
When Im ****** up, thats the real me, babe
And I know shell be the death of me
At least well both be numb
And shell always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
But at least well both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know
She told me, "dont worry about it"
She told me, "dont worry no more"
We both know we cant go without it
She told me, "youll never be alone", oh, oh, woo
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
Tell me what you really like
Baby, I can take my time
We dont ever have to fight
Just take it step-by-step
I can see it in your eyes
Cause they never tell me lies
I can feel that body shake
And the heat between your legs
Youve been scared of love and what it did to you
You dont have to run, I know what youve been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We dont have to rush, girl, when youre alone
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, baby
I saw you dancing in a crowded room
You look so happy when Im not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
I dont know why I run away
Ill make you cry when I run away
Take me back cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day
You make it look like its magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
Im never confused
Hey, hey
Im so used to bein used
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moments expected
So Ima care for you, you, you
Ima care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause girl, youre perfect
Youre always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause girl, you earned it, yeah
Girl, you earned it, yeah
On that lonely night
We said it wouldnt be love
But we felt the rush
It made us believe it was only us
Convinced we were broken inside, yeah, inside, yeah
Cause girl, youre perfect
Youre always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause girl, you earned it, yeah
Girl, you earned it, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ive been tryna call
Ive been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
Im going through withdrawals
You dont even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and
Sin Citys cold and empty
No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre gone
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, Im drowning in the night
Oh, when Im like this, youre the one I trust
Im just calling back to let you know
I could never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch |

When I saw the signs, I shouldve let you go
But I kept you beside me
And if I held you back, at least I held you close
Should have known you were lonely
I know things will never be the same
Time weve lost will never be replaced
Im the reason you forgot to love
So dont be scared to live again
Be scared to live again
No, dont be scared to live again
Be scared to live again
You always miss the chance to fall for someone else
Cause your heart only knows me
They try to win your love, but there was nothing left
They just made you feel lonely
Well, I am not the man I used to be
Did some things I couldnt let you see
Refuse to be the one who taints your heart
So dont be scared to live again
Be scared to live again
No, dont be scared to live again, baby
Be scared to live again
I hope you know that, I hope you know that
Ive been praying that you find yourself
I hope you know that, I hope you know that
We fell apart, right from the start
I should have made you my only
When its said and done
Woah-oh-woah
So dont be scared to live again, baby
Be scared to live again
No, dont be scared to live again, baby
Be scared to live again
I hope you know that, I hope you know that
Ive been praying that you find yourself
I hope you know that, I hope you know that
We fell apart, right from the start |
Ive been tryna call
Ive been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to live, maybe
Im going through it all
You dont even have to say too much
You can say it all with just a song, baby
I look around and
This citys cold and empty
No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre gone
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep cause you know I think too much
I said, ooh, Im drowning in the night
Oh, when Im like this, youre the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey
Im running out of time
Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
This citys cold and empty
No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre gone
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep cause you know I think too much
I said, ooh, Im drowning in the night
Oh, when Im like this, youre the one I trust
Im just walking by to let you know
I could never say it on the phone
Will never let you go this time
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep cause you know I think too much
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep cause you know I think too much |
Girl Im faded girl Im fuckin faded
I dont see two of you I see you naked
Too much smoke in here my focus gone
Misses flower bomb come get your lotus on
You just want the drugs I just want the high
Im seeing all of your issues from the pain all in your eyes
I can get you through yo problems girl
This that up top but ill start off from the bottom girl
Say you love me I know you love me girl
Take this sip it slow tell me you love me girl
Dont judge me girl
Im a keep sipping Texas til you touch me girl
Faded too long
Now Im on this rolling stone
I just cant leave it alone
It feels too much like home girl
Love me til its gone girl
Love me
They want that XO shit they want that XO shit
Before they all love me
They want that XO shit well I got that XO shit
Thatll make you XO quick
Until you wont love me
They want that XO shit they want that XO shit
Before they all loved me
They want that XO shit well I got that XO shit
Thatll make you XO quick |
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Ive been a fool and Ive been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
Im always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound-sound
Tonight Im gonna bury that horse in the ground-ground
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
But its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight Im gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
Its always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Its hard to dance with a devil on your back
And given half the chance, would I take any of it back
Its a fine romance but its left me so undone
Its always darkest before the dawn
And Im damned if I do and Im damned if I dont
So heres to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And Im ready to suffer and Im ready to hope
Its a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well, what the hell, Im gonna let it happen to me
Yeah
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out,
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And its hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out |
Lyrics from Snippets
Oh no
Were not in touch, oh no
Said you love me but I dont care
broke my heart
you told me that it |
I got, everything what you want with me
I do, everything he does times three
And he dont gotta know, I got you on the floor
Doing things you never thought youd do
Baby leave them high heel shoes
Cause I love it when youre lookin down at me
Im lookin up at you
And I dont give a damn shorty, watch me knock them boots off
Baby leave them high heel shoes
Cause I love it when youre lookin down at me
Im lookin up at you
And I dont give a damn shorty, watch me knock them boots off
I just wanna take you there
He dont got to go away
Does he touch you here like this?
Let me take the friction from your lips
I got, everything what you want with me
I do, everything he does times three
And he dont gotta know, I got you on the floor
Doing things you never thought youd do
Baby leave them high heel shoes
Cause I love it when youre lookin down at me
Im lookin up at you
And I dont give a damn shorty, watch me knock them boots off
I just wanna take you there
He dont got to go away
Hes what you want
Hes what you want
Hes what you want
Hes what you want
Im what you need, what you need, what you need, what you need
Im what you need, what you need, what you need, what you need
Hes what you want
Hes what you want
Hes what you want |
You bring good to my lonely life, honestly?
Its hard for me to look into your eyes, when..I say
That I would be nothing without your love
I feel the rush and its aaamaaaa zzzzingggg
Maybe Ive been always destined to end up in this place, yeah
I dont mean to come off selfish but I want it all
Love will always be a lesson get out of its way, cause I know, all I know, all I know
Im a prisoner to my addiction
Im addicted to a life, thats so empty and so cold
Im a prisoner to my decision
Owwwwwww, Owwwwwwww, OwwwWWWWWWwwwwww
Im a prisoner to my addiction
Im addicted to a life, thats so empty and so cold
Im a prisoner to my decision

I wanna cut you outta my dreams
I wanna cut you outta my mind
I say a prayer everytime I close my eyes
You soundin sad cause-
I wanna cut you, I wanna cut you
I wanna cut you, I wanna cut you out |
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, babe, yeah, babe
Baby, baby yeah
Coming straight after your bitch, nigga
Aint no way that you can stop me
Stop me, stop me
And Ima make you watch as I find
Find out different ways I can haunt you
So you lie, so you defy me
Defy me, defy me
Tell you everything, ooh
Ima show the way I feel
Woah, oh yeah, woah, oh yeah
How you feel, Ima show you how to feel
Woah, oh yeah, woah, oh yeah

Bad intentions you bring
No religion that you follow
Still you bullshit for boys in love
Youre so blind to see that enough is enough
I dont concern myself too much
Ill awake when my time is arrived
When all is said and done
Tonight well
I cant feel my heart
Cause you leach off to many hearts
Well its safe to say
That Ive had enough of troubled thoughts in my mind
I should try to pray for my demise, ohhh-ohh
Whats the point of wasting love on you?
Your indecisive choices lead you here
I walk with a dead and frozen heart
Decide to restrain from attaining scars
Neither of us admit to our faults
Which led to our fall
Tell me what you see in this mirror that youre lookin, baby
Youre so ashamed, I see it in the look in your eyes
Youre afraid, I wanna show you whats inside of you
Let me enter your brain now
Pardon me, I only see your reflection, but you
Best believe this is a fuckin test of
What you do, oh you know what you do
Ima let you solve your own clues
Baby the hardest part is the will to come in
I know you lost respect for me
Say that you did
Could you give me one last kiss
So I could learn to feel again
Make me regret everything that Ive done
And love again, love again
Whats the point of wasting love on you?
Your indecisive choices lead you here
I walk with a dead and frozen heart
Decide to restrain from attaining scars
Neither of us admit to our faults
Which led to our fall
Why dont you run away, run away from him
And come running to me when youre on your knees
Cause I will give the right solution
I can do is love you one last time
Just to recollect memories in our mind
When everything is done dont act like you know me so well
Ill just be someone that you used to know |
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah-yeah
I been waiting for you
A little bit of practice
I been waiting for you
It will take a bit of practice
I myself,
Tell me how you need, dont no time
What you want from me?
Girl, I know you practice
Youve been waiting for me

You lie, but I dont let it define you
Oh, define you
I tried to find love
In someone else too many times
But I hope you know I mean it

You lie, but I dont let it define you
Oh, define you |
Lyrics from Snippets
Higher, higher
Its like standing in the ocean
People say I want world peace
Jeromes niece get shot in the dome-piece
...
I fucked your ex and sent a text out of respect
It was good sex, honorable mention to the neck |
Hidden wolf, I stride through life as a shade
Like Kyle Keyes I wanna be unforgotten
But death would be the price I have to pay
And even after that I might still be forgotten
Breezy Illmatic mirage, figment of your imagination
Things are not what it seems, cruel deception
Reality don’t mean nothing I don’t get no attention
Treated just as an illusion
Uh, there is more than meets the eye
Too bad everyone’s views are covered by lies
If I die, I wonder if anyone would visit my grave
I feel so invisible, the sky looks so gray
Rest in peace to the person that you didnt even know
And your carelessness in your voice certainly shows
Black bird I soar through the night sky
Reaching high for my dreams, but no one else can see me
Forget my name, face, race, I’m marked as history
I’ll just be remembered as that kid in your memories
Oblivion descends, I’m either a ghost or a freak
Guess this what I deserve if I was born meek
Piercing and tattoos, heavy makeup in all black
Tryna capture someone’s attention with a rap
I lack so much love and support
In my mind all your snide comments I retort
Everyone’s always ignoring me
I feel so faded
So caught up in my fantasies
I feel so faded |
They wanna threesome, then some
Spend whatever come in, fucking income
Me and my niggas were never going broke
And you, have to, do it all
Just to know where it get to
Living dreams we can never afford
Now we sitting in the backseat
Backseat
I got tattoos all over me, and she fuck with that
I pull up in foreign whips, and she fuck with that
A boss nigga, all the lame niggas copy cat
I pull up in that phantom, and she in that jag
Tattoos all up on my chest, on my neck and back
Im getting money sipping lean, nothing but act
A million dollars, thats nothing but taxes
I ball out everyday, I dont know how to act
Im dropping the top on my rari
They stare at me when Im in the party
I said "baby we made it", she said "baby we did"
Im stunting on these fuck niggas, they know what it is
Now we in the backseat, turning up
And she high off the kush, we burning up
She roll one and smoke it, and we rolling
You already know, you know how this shit go |
2 Cups
Cant be sober for a day, I be feelin too lost
They try to make me turn down
Tell me: "Put the hammer down!"
Im finna lose control
And she can watch me fuck it up
For a little one night
Im in the presidential telly
Pelle Pelle, True Religion, with some bitches smokin dope
I told her: "Break some, then cum
Shorty, you aint gettin in, fuck is you from?"
Boy, in the field, its real, you gotta keep a pole
And you have to understand where a grown man comin from
So free my niggas that aint never comin home
They told me about this, and I said:
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, a lot of money and a lot of hoes
A lot of guns and a lot of clothes
Getting dumb brain, no honor roll
Fake niggas, I dont honor those
You a fake nigga, cant relate to you
Real talk, Im a real nigga, so I aint got shit to say to you
And please dont get me confused a lot of niggas Im cool with
They is not gon do shit
Nigga, put it on him if that shoe foot!
Never really gave a fuck at all, but now a nigga dont give two shits
Never gave a fuck what they called me, I bet a nigga couldnt prove it
Dont pay attention to the fuckery
Fake niggas dont fuck with me
Real niggas only fuck with me
If you fuck with me, then you stuck with me
Dont really know how to do this part, you know I dont sing
Talkin shit on Twitter, got up with him, Im like: "Nah, dont scream!"
Mensa, I remember what you said about all those things
Money, cars, clothes, I promise we gon have all those things
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
Test the fire, Ill steal for him
If its Mensa, nigga, do a drill for him
All my homies that went down in this shit, nigga, I feel for em
Thats the reason Im still going
Tryna get rich, sign a deal for em
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for
This the shit that I live for, this the that I live for
This the shit that I live for, with the niggas I kill for |
Ive got a question, and I expect to hear the perfect answer
, dont you dare pretend) don’t you delay
Why do you say you love me when we all know that you love all those around you?
Well, I love me too and Im not afraid to say
Everybody hates you; they just want to see you cry
They just want to see you cry
Oh the birds are the people who see you and judge you on a daily
They watch you in silence; theyll envy all your talents
Still you
You got everything you could ever ask for, still you ask for more
Dont show them that youre weak or youll make them see
Baby Im one of the birds Im sympathetic, baby I’m a friend
so ill help you make it right
Youre the total package yet you seek unnecessary attention
And you indulge yourself deep into your depression
You’re a heart break devil, preaching all the sweet lies
But deep inside I see a lost scared, lonely girl
But indecisiveness led you hear and I cant save you
Girl I cant save you, girl it cant be undone
Dont show them that youre weak or youll make them dine at the
Fountain of tears, tears from your eyes
Theyll smile when youre down to your surprise
So please, live up to your reputation
Dont sell your soul for who you werent meant, to be
Youll make them see |
Lyrics will be available upon release. Stay tuned! |
Now here you go again, you say
We want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
Its only right that you should
Play the way youre feelin
But listen carefully to the sound
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat
Drives you mad
In the stillness
Of remembering
Of what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when its raining
Players only love you when theyre playing
Say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, youll know
And I know shell be the death of me
At least well both be numb
And shell always get the best of me
The worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when were deep in love
This I know
Girl, I know
She told me dont worry
About it
She told me dont worry
No more
We both know we cant go
Without it
Shell told me youll never
Be alone, ooh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it , but I love it
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it , but I love it , oh
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it , but I love it
Thunder only happens when its raining
Players only love you when theyre playing
Thunder only happens when its raining
Players only love you when theyre playing
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it
I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it |
Rollin Rollin
These streets are frozen
On that black ice while rap tight
Drive it like you stole it
With my two cents Ill invest
Wait a few years to be impressed
Well this nothin yet
Im still young, Im still workin on my kingdom
With that bullshit that you pumpin son
See through that transparent
Take what I want you keep staring
Back to my lab start preparing that quality
I move around while they follow me
Split the green dichotomy
Better get the fuck off my property
Cause Im probably
Too damn dope for them name brands
We spit, we don’t shake hands
Get crack chicks and Ray-Bans
To rap my lines verbatim
Ya, mommy got me hotter than Wasabi shawty
Ask me if Im blowin up, I told her baby probably
Dont wanna stumble from the B.P.T. until trouble
Hit the field and then I cause Trouble
Made a profit then I made double
Still my raincoat like four bucks
Bout to have my boys on the tour bus
Smokin more blunts, feelin gorgeous
Cause theres a lot of you but theres more of us
Rollin Rollin
Smokin potent, steady blowin
Out the window Im just hopin no one noticed, feel me!Coastin by the ocean sets go with the back doors open
But in wind when its freezin stay bent like scoliosis
Feelin like Al Capone and I feelin like Corleone and
Feelin I got this feelin a feelin nobody knows it
So I perfect my flows
I try to get it out
I let you envision the mission
To show you what this shit about
Want the chain swang, I want the fame main
All black range, if I cant then its bang bang
You want the same thing, That’s why you hatin
Well step aside and take a permanent vacation punk |
Oh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Shots of tequila, bottles of Patron
Blunts to the face, you dont wanna sing no more
Lost your C notes
Cabbed all day, took the bus back home
Eviction on your door
Blame it on the booze, blame it on the juice
Blame it on the night lights, life passin you
Just dont blame it on me, girl
Dont you blame it on me
Cause I get it, youre built like a Goddess
And you
Specially when your nose red
From that K, special Diet Coke
You a coke head and you got no rent
You blow that money, money
You try to window shop, you blow another hundred
Fuckin goons in the day, hipster nights downtown
Wanna-be lifestyle, oh, why?
Yeah you thought you could be baby, oh yeah
I got the whole crew in here, baby
Ahh, you know what you see when youre laid there
Girl, you are what you be
You got to see
XO, dont you forget
XO, I be thinking so
XO
XO , XO, XO
Ohh, ayy
Girl, take your nose off my keyboard
What you botherin me for?
Theres a room full of niggas
What you followin me for?
This aint a fuckin sing-along
So, girl, what you singin for?
Its cause we blowin like a C4
You know my whole crew blowin like a C4
20, get the bar rollin
Fake IDs in the trash, we throwin
Straight to the top, rooftop clubs
With a hand full of girls and they all so foreign
Brain so poisoned, rainbows flowin
Light-skinned chick, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta friends, first flight from Poland
A whole lotta cash, first flight from Poland
Yeah, you thought you could be baby, oh yeah
I got the whole crew in here, baby
Ahh, you know what you see when youre laid there
Girl you are what you be
You got to see
XO, dont you forget
XO, I be thinking so

Ohh, ayy
Nights pass so much quicker than the days did
Same clothes, you aint ready for your day shift
But you up, you need money for ya face lift
Lust over love is ya mindset
Waken up with most of ya side wet
Other room, you hear your mom cryin
Cause she found your coke stuffed in the laundry
And the Bacardi from the last party
Just dont blame it on me, girl
Dont you blame it on me, girl
Dont you blame it on me
Dont you blame it on me

Ah, uh, huh, I get you here in my life |
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh
Widow, widow
This is a wake, lay your head on my pillow
By the time youre awake, baby, youll be my widow
I taught you how to feel, you thought you never could
And I taught you how to love, nobody ever would
Tonight I gotta go, somebodys waiting home
So after tonights rendezvous, I might as well be dead to you
Widow , widow , widow , widow

Widow , widow , widow , widow

See, before I let you go
One last thing I need to let you know
You aint never seen nothing crazier than
This nigga when he off his Lexapro

Last time Im down in Mexico
Asking me why the hell I test the code
Four times I say dont test me, ho
Told you four times dont test me, ho
Now we finna lose all self-control
But you aint finna be raising your voice at me
Especially when we in the Giuseppe store
But Ima have the last laugh in the end
Cause Im from a tribe called check a ho
Yeah, Ima have to laugh in the end
Cause Im from a tribe called check a ho
And I-
They wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Cant let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me
They wish I would go ahead and fuck my life up
Cant let them get to me
And even though I always fuck my life up
Only I can mention me
See through the night
And forget all of your past
Throw that
Throw that away
Dont stop your loving
Dont stop for nothing
No, not for nothing
They dont wanna see me love you
No, love, dont stop it
They always love it

They dont wanna see me love you
They dont wanna see me love you
They dont wanna see me love you

Your man on the road, he doin promo
You said, "Keep our business on the low-low"
Im just tryna get you out the friend zone
Cause you look even better than the photos
I cant find your house, send me the info
Drivin through the gated residential
Found out I was comin, sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know
I only call you when its half past five
The only time that Ill be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when its half past five
The only time Id ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me, babe
Ima let you know and keep it simple
Tryna keep it up dont seem so simple
I just fucked two bitches fore I saw you
And you gon have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Drugs started feelin like its decaf
Im just tryna live life for the moment
And all these motherfuckers want a relapse
I only call you when its half past five
The only time that Ill be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me
When Im fucked up, thats the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when its half past five
The only time Id ever call you mine

I only love it when you touch me, not feel me

When Im fucked up, thats the real me, babe |
Lyrics from snippet
...
Oh, oh, oh, said
But I showed that I got it all for you
Save you love, where
...
Break your little cold heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Call me up and Ill send fyou
Take me down to where you
I dont know if I can go to home... |
I was told that it was Heaven
I was told that it was there before
I was told that you would never leave, ooh
And I was told that it was there before
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
I remember sleepin on floors and missin tours, I was rock bottom
Money on my head, that was top dollar
Had the stock para, gun powder, for the Rottweilers
I was home with pops when the cops got him
Voices in my head, tryna kill the noise
They killed Nip, will never fill the void
I know the devil cried a tear of joy
Look, I know the devil cried a tear of joy
I never tell, but you heard the stories
I can never tell, is this Heaven, Hell or purgatory?
Early mornin aint early for me, Im losin sleep
Whole lot of sheep, Ima count them each
But fuck it, I been up late
I been gettin twisted, I been mixing up the love, hate
Swear this shit is glitchin, Ive been missin for a month straight
Lost faith, but Ima die for it
Ima win, I just hope that Im alive for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
How much money will it cost us?
Feds, bounty hunters at the office lookin for some of our artists
We just tryna help em out, so they can change the outcome
Instead of puttin pain in the street, they makin albums
Changin they sourroundin, hopefully housing
Smokery lounge in Bogotá, not a cloud in the sky, ocean shit
You can die a legend in your own right
Or die a street legend if its on seight
I get so alone with my thoughts, powerful
Things I would die for, everything I built for twenty years
Wont allow it to make that crumble
Put you in the ground, I would catch a case for jungle
And lean through the window, extendo, to clean you up
Rest in peace to King Shooter
A foundation where such kids can stand
For respect, for my name, for the fam
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it
Ill die for it, said Ill die for it
Ill die for it, said Ill die for it
If this is what it is, then Ill die for it |
Oh, oh
Oh woah, woah
Im, Im destined sippin, purple flippin
Disco biscus trippin
You say we friends and shit but you dont ever come and visit
Im double fistin, mixin crystals in whatever liquid

Give a fuck about what a source say

Youre just tryna get reactions from me
But youre old news, hmm

Lyrics from snippet
Hey, Ima visit the sky today
Hey, I’ma dance on the clouds today
And make it rain, on everybody beneath us
Just cause they try, doesnt mean they can be us
No, nobody can be us |
Listen, listen, whoa, yeah, listen, ooooh
Take your nose off my keyboard
What you bothering me for?
There’s a room full of niggas!
What you following me for?
This ain’t no fuckin sing-along
So girl, what you singing for?
It’s cause we blowing like a C4
Got my whole crew blowing like a C4
20, keep the bar rolling
Fake ID’s and the trash we going straight to the top
Rooftop close with a handful of girls and they all so foreign
Brain so poisoned, rainbows flowing
Light skinned chick first flight from Poland
A whole lot of friends first flight from Poland
A whole lot of cash first trip from Poland
Why? Cause they loving the crew, they loving the crew
They loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew
They loving the crew
They loving the crew
They loving the crew
Oooooh
Yea
Weed smoke burnin’ smoke detectors
Gettin’ high for low moments. Who else can do it better?
But seein’ these niggas say they ball
I see no reason for them to get shot at all
And damn. They make somethin’ out of nothin’
They don’t even skate. But they always seem to be stuntin’
Why ya’ll frontin’?
And damn
But seeing as most people have it all
I see no reason for you to compare me to ya’ll
And damn
These reservations were only meant for about 20/20
Meaning we could’ve split it all about 50/50
Now you swervin’ down this road. Bitches be a lil bit tipsy
But whenever I’m gone. Tell us if you ever miss me
Cus by then. I’ll be in Houston. No pun to Whiteny
Sad. But it’s the fatal truth
Around the same age. Why you drink for the youth?
I mean do you need to do die, to see living proof?
Gone....Hendrix
If we broadcast swag
Nigga we the news in the city |

Oh, oh-ooh

They say my brain meltin
And the only thing Ill tell em is
Im livin for the present and the future dont exist
So, baby, take your clothes off, a chance like this
You may never get to show off, show off
Show off what you talking about
Unless you like to tease, baby
When in reality you dont know how to please, baby
Blue-ball queen, take your fuckin seat, baby
Ride it out, now I know you wanna scream, baby
Better than your next man
And if he swingin I get dumber than the next man
Cause I dont play
Unless its keys, then I play all day
You like them keys? We gon play all day
Wet dream fry your brain all day, all day
I think you lost your morals, girl
But its okay cause you dont need em where were goin
In that two-floor loft in the middle of the city
After rollin through the city with me
I promise you gon see
That Im only fuckin 20, girl
Amnesia, put your mind in a dream world
What you doin in the bathroom?
I hear noises in the bathroom
Baby, its okay
We can do it in the living room
Twisting turns in em, the only girls that we fuck with
Seem to have 20 different pills in em
They tell us that they love us
Even though they want a next man
And the next mans bitch want the third man
Eddie Murphy shit, yeah, we trade places
Rehearse lines to them and then we fuck faces
Yeah, we know just how to get a buzz
Mix it with the hash, come fuck with us
Im raw, mothafucka, Im raw
My love so lost, and my niggas, man
These bitches cant touch what we got if they wanted
Ill plug any nigga thatll step
Man, I got em, yeah, I got em
Til the ending of our credits
Lifes such a movie, filmed independent, us against the city
Please, dont get offended when we dont answer your calls
And if you got a problem, come and find us, we can talk about it
Whats good, young ho? You about it?
Got a loft right now, you excited?
You excited
Uh
Got a girl who likes girls
So watch out, babe
She gonna make you like girls |
Yeah

Ive been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
Im going through withdrawals
You dont even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
I look around and
Sin Citys cold and empty
No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre gone
I said, ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, Im drowning in the night
Oh, when Im like this, youre the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey
Im running out of time
Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh
Sin Citys cold and empty
No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre gone

No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch
I said, ooh, Im drowning in the night
Oh, when Im like this, youre the one I trust

Oh, fucking gone right now
Fucking high right now
Im gone
Morning to the evening
Complaints, oh
Im gone, Im gone
Listen, listen, oh
From the morning to the evening
Complaints from the tenants
Got the walls kicking like they six months pregnant
Drinking Alizé with our cereal for breakfast
And girls calling cabs at dawn quarter to seven
Skys getting cold, were flying from the north
Rockin with our city like a sold out show
A house full of pros that specialize in the hoin
Make that money rain as they taking off they clothes
Order plane tickets
Cali is the mission
Visit every month like Im split life living
Let the world listen
If a haters caught slipping
Then my niggas stay tight
Got my back like Pippen
Fast life gripping
Yeah, we still tippin
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Fakes try to mimic
Get girls timid
But behind closed doors they get poles so rigid
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, oh
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, mhm no
Push it to the limit
Push it through the pain
I push it—virgin to the game
A virgin to that money
A virgin to the fame
So this my only chance
And when Im over only pray
That I flow from the bottom
Closer to the top
The higher that I climb
The harder Ima drop
These pussy ass niggas tryna hold on to their credit
So I tell them use a debit
Watch they image start to lessen
I warn them like discretion
Always fucking testing
Why these niggas testing?
Always fucking testing
Shit that I got them on straight bar hopping
To the music of the ambiance
Get shit popping
Zombies of the night
Niggas aint talking if they hyping to the crew
Get it in like pockets
Downtown loving
When the moon coming
Only place to find bassheads and hot women
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, oh
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, mhm no
She better slow down
Shell feel it in the morning
Aint she the kind of girl youll be seeing in the morning
She too damn raw, aint no nigga that she holding
Aint no nigga with the holding
Man, that love is too damn foreign
All that money, the money is the motive
Look at all that money, the money she be folding
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work
Look at all that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, oh
Girl, put in work, girl, girl, put in work, mhm no
Money on the floor
Im too damn high
Gone, gone, gone
High, you get high, you get high
You get high, you get high, you get high
You get high, you get high, you get high, no |
Theres nobody here, just us together
Keepin it hot like July forever
Cause were the masters of our own fate
Were the captains of our own souls
Theres no way for us to come, wait
Cause boy were gold, boy were gold
And I was like...
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just aint right
Cause were having too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Cause were the masters of our own fate
Were the captains of our own souls
So theres no need for us to hesitate
Were all alone, lets take control
And I was like...
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all your clothes
Take off, take off
Take off all of your clothes
They say only the good die young
That just aint right
Cause were havin too much fun
Too much fun tonight, yeah
And a lust for life
And a lust for life
We dance on the H of the Hollywood sign
Til we run out of breath, gotta dance til we die
My boyfriends back and hes cooler than ever
Theres no more night, blue skies forever
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
And a lust for life, and a lust for life
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive
Keeps us alive, keeps us alive |
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl, you got me down, you got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin with some girls Ive never seen before
She told me dont worry about it
She told me dont worry no more
Cause I cant feel my face when Im with you
But I love it, but I love it
What do you mean? Ooh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Oh oh oh
What do you mean?
Oh, late night, when you needed my love
Oh, late night when you needed it most
Cause I know when that hotline bling
We were gonna be something
Yeah, I know when that hotline bling
We were gonna be something |
Im still with the same niggas, no recruits
I got this pink greaze shooting all these balls like Im tryna win the golden boot
Sent my worker to re-up told em to move discreet
Kicking balls in the cage, grazing up my gucci sneaks
Shooting in the air thats what you call war
If Im shooting in the air, theres paigons on the fourth floor
Foods all white, like Black Steves face is
Briefcases, full of queens faces
When my shifts done Im with a gorgeous hoe
When the piff comes, I think Im George from Blow
Still weighing up them keys,fuck your lil 38 hand ting
Spraying like Febreeze
I feel like to do a bumper car shut down
For them days I couldnt buy a token
Told my niggers, one day Im gonna shut it down
But they must have thought that I was joking, its nines
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
Sunday, but on Thursday, Thursday
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
But on Thursday, make sure
You are thirsty, oh, on Thursday, baby
Get ready, oh, on Thursday
Why you...
Looking at Life in amazement
Money and change spent
A lot of things changed since wayne went
Most my times stuck on a pavement
Why you think my name ring a bell like the smell of a fragrance
I look back in the day when
It was nothing but love and nobody was considered a paigon
Or everywhere you go
Somebody been portrayed to be something that theyre not
Another thug in the making
Shine bright like the sun light
And the moon gleams
For the right price youll see a niggers true theme
Loyaltys a must so pay respect when due
Cause its hard enough to trust the closest person in view
Yeah I guess Im tryna make it through
The struggle and pain but couldnt tell if its the same for you
I live a hard knock life
But we know it takes two
And always fail to realize that most this worlds confused
Ha ha ha ha
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
Sunday, but on Thursday, Thursday
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
But on Thursday, make sure

Spark a L, bump nas it aint hard to tell
Thinking bout my taylors lane days
Paper plane ways
All my ex girls I love you same way, love you same way
Thinks im a player Iniesta

Spiro deadly, we the truth, we done seen them lies already

Lyrics from snippet
Its already time
Reality its so overwhelmed to me |
Im tryna put you in the worst mood, ah
P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
All red Lamb’ just to tease you, ah
None of these toys on lease too, ah
Made your whole year in a week too, yah
Main bitch out your league too, ah
Side bitch out of your league too, ah
House so empty, need a centerpiece
20 racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking bout me, I dont see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done
I’m a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Every day a nigga try to test me, ah
Every day a nigga try to end me, ah
Pull off in that Roadster SV, ah
Pockets overweight, gettin hefty, ah
Coming for the king, thats a far cry, ah
I come alive in the fall time, I
No competition, I dont really listen
I’m in the blue Mulsanne bumping New Edition
House so empty, need a centerpiece
20 racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking bout me, I dont see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done
I’m a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Let a nigga brag Pitt
Legend of the fall took the year like a bandit
Bought mama a crib and a brand new wagon
Now she hit the grocery shop looking lavish
Star Trek roof in that Wraith of Khan
Girls get loose when they hear this song
100 on the dash get me close to God
We dont pray for love, we just pray for cars
House so empty, need a centerpiece
20 racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby
You talking money, need a hearing aid
You talking bout me, I dont see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done
Im a motherfuckin starboy
Look what youve done

Down by the bay
Where the watermelon rot
If you go home
Just dont get caught
But if you do
Your mother will say
"Never trust a man under the sand
Down by the bay"
When I go to sleep
The book in my hand
I know in my dream
Ill see her there
She isnt real
My parents lie
I know the truth but I can never tell you
Or thеy will all cry
Down by the bay
Wherе the watermelons rot
If you go home
Just dont get caught
But if you do
Our mother will say
"Dont run away Ill keep you safe
Down by the bay"
My fathers home
Got me some shoes
Out with the old
In with the new
He isnt real
My parents lie
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all die
Down by the bay
Where the watermelon rot
If you go home
Just dont get caught
But if you do
My mother will say
"You dont wanna know whats outside the window
Down by the bay
But if you do
My mother will say
"You dont wanna know whats outside the window

Mucha falsedad yo conozco tu mal
Sé por dónde vienes me quieres ver mal
To’as mis mamis chulas no quieren ni hablar
Saben que no hay nada sentimental
Mi futuro brilla en la estrella polar
O si quieres llámame la luz solar
Este fucking flow no lo pueden copiar
La promesa el género vengo a salvar
La casa vacía necesita algo
La mande a mueblar, pa’ que luzca algo
Todo de blanco al estilo de un santo
Debajo de mis sabanas moja lo blanco
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Las dos se besan y rompen las reglas
Las dos me quieren ya di poma baby
Ahora me la dan
En esto soy una estrella, baby
Ahora me la dan
En esto soy una estrella, baby
El bolsillo lleno no paro de viajar
Aunque hay muchos que no me la quieren dar
Si te creo un tema te puedes pegar
La materia prima te la puedo dar
Fumándome un blunt en el medio del mar
Estas son cosas que solo puedes soñar
Cual competencia
I don’t really listen
Miro para el lado y no los veo
All these niggas missing
La casa vacía necesita algo
La mande a mueblar, pa’ que luzca algo
Todo de blanco al estilo de un santo
Debajo de mis sabanas moja lo blanco
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Las dos se besan y rompen las reglas
Las dos me quieren ya di poma baby
Ahora me la dan
En esto soy una estrella, baby
Ahora me la dan
En esto soy una estrella, baby
Tengo una mano en el aire
Una stripper que me baile y 5 mil pa’ gastarle
Me siento como el rey de Roma
No pueden pararme
Yo soy la ley
No pueden controlarme
La casa vacía necesita algo
La mande a mueblar, pa’ que luzca algo
Todo de blanco al estilo de un santo
Debajo de mis sabanas moja lo blanco
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Tengo una rubia y una pelinegra
Las dos se besan y rompen las reglas
Las dos me quieren ya di poma baby
Ahora me la dan
En esto soy una estrella, baby

Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I’ll take the pleasure, take it with the pain
And if in the moment I bite my lip
Baby, in that moment, you’ll know this is
Something bigger than us and beyond bliss
Give me a reason to believe it
Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Harder, harder, harder
I know your motives and you know mine
The ones that love me I tend to leave behind
If you know about me and choose to stay
Then take this pleasure and take it with the pain
And if in the moment you bite your lip
When I get you moaning, you know its real
Can you feel the pressure between your hips?
I’ll make it feel like the first time
Cause if you want to keep me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
And if you really need me
You gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Got to love me harder
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Love me, love me, love me

21 salute
“They loving the crew
They loving the crew
They loving this crew
Oh, they loving the crew
Oh, they loving the crew
They loving this crew”
And more chune for your headtop
So watch how you speak on my name, you know?
Let me tell you a truth
It is amazing what this game could do to you
Fake cold may lose your soul too
And if you a fuu, the hook can get you though
If you knew what I do
What I went through
Thank you to the crew, I salute you
And if you go, I will give you a 21 salute as if you are camo
And we are good fellas mixed with regular dudes
So who knows if it could be me or you to salute
Like they say in the marines
Everyone wants to go to heaven
But no one wants to go with sleep’s cousin
And with death, it is not the greatest loss, but the greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive
And that is far worse crime if it kills time
But I guess it is also good to go with pride
And I want to express what’s inside outside but my enemies want to see my insides outside and I got to bottle it up and make whatever outside inside
Let me tell you a truth
It is amazing what this game could do to you
Fake cold may lose your soul too
And if you a fuu, the hook can get you though
If you knew what I know
What I went through
Thank you to the crew, I salute you
And if you go, I will give you a 21 salute as if you are camo
And we are good fellas mixed with regular dudes
So who knows if it could be me or you to salute
Where is your backbone, or your code at
A paradox that that make the real die quick
It’s hard to separate friends from enemies
Always show love but in their hearts they envy me and wait for the right opportunity to backstab me
Ride for me but still sell me
I got to ask dogs cause they have better answers than those snakes in disguise
But I guess righteous choices don’t pay no more and only god knows
But I promise for my crew I will hold you down
Let me tell you a truth
It is amazing what this game could do to you
Fake cold may lose your soul too
And if you a fuu, the hook can get you though
If you knew what I know
What I went through
Thank you to the crew, I salute you
And if you go, I will give you a 21 salute as if you are camo
And we are good fellas mixed with regular dudes
So who knows if it could be me or you to salute
Headstart, ready for war, raise your sword and play with fire
War without failure with a taste of pleasure and pain
Change the system, new gen revolution
Shifting powers, new forms of throne
Fear of getting out the zone
Pressure of making the right move
Play it wrong, you may lose your soul too
Id rather have loyalty than love
Cause love really dont mean jack
See love is just a feeling
You can love somebody and still stab them in they back
It dont take much to love
You can love somebody just by being attached
See loyalty is a action
You can love or hate me and still have my back |
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ehh, ehh, uh
with the homies while were waiting for a
Couple of women who be down to trip
While trippin off their faces
This molly got a zombie, got me feeling all sedated
White girl loving
With a van full of hippies
Who love us, so lovely
They didnt even hesitate to touch us
They love us, so we lust them
No one will catch them
No one can help them
Two puffs for the lady who be down for that
Whatever, together
Bring your own stash of the greatest, trade it
Roll a dub, burn a dub, cough a dub, taste it
Then watch us chase it
With a handful of pills, no chasers
Jaw clenching on some super-sized papers
And she bad and her head bad
Escaping, her van is a Wonderland
And its half-past six
Read skies cause time dont exist
But when the stars shine back to the crib
Superstar lines back at the crib
And we can test out the tables
We got some brand new tables
All glass and its four feet wide
But its a must to get us ten feet high
She give me sex in a handbag
Yeah, I get her wetter than a wet nap
And no closed doors
So I listen to her moans echo
Echo
"I heard he do drugs now"
You heard wrong, I been on it for a minute
We just never act a fool, thats just how we fuckin live it
And when we act a fool, its probably cause we mixed it
Yeah, Im always on that okey dokey
Them white boys know the deal, aint no fuckin phony
Big O know the deal, he the one who showed me
Watch me ride this fucking beat like he fuckin told me
"Is that your girl, whats her fucking story?"
"She kinda bad but she ride it like a fucking pony"
I cut down on her man, be her fuckin story
Yeah, Im talking bout you, man, get to know me
Aint no offense, though, I promise you
If you a real man, dude, you gon decide the truth
But Im a nice dude with some nice dreams
And we could turn this to a nightmare: Elm Street
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Im so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Im so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Im so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Im so gone, so gone
Bring out the glass tables
Bring out the glass tables |

To big for doors
So we nock on the ceiling
Stomp on civilians, watch out for children
Nope not a player
Nope not a hater
Nope I don´t hate ´em but I will not date ´em
Just like a skater wear my shirt up, grenade ´em
If you have a problem we can
So if I were you I would watch my behavior
Us godzillas got a gun with a laser
Electric current so we move like a laser
like a razor
I´ll race ya
I´ll face ya
Erase ya
Big player
Yeah I´ll play ya |
Close, Ahhhhhh, Nagy
Its the Weeknd and Im wondering if you got lust
Cos previously I knew, you never had trust
Now its become more than a nut bust
I love you more than bread crust
I met you when I was lost
Shirt said Im not fucked
Shutter shades and some bum fluff
Walking round the club like my brain got concussed
And you knew you could conquer
Thats when you looked at him and you thought to yourself
Damn I want some
And fuck these other scum
Sipping on their rum
Chewing on their gum
At thee, I bite my thumb
Fuck with them and their mum
We bout to have some fun
Did you not know you are my son?
Bitch, why you think we look like one
Why you look so dumb, why you look so stunned
Id still lick you up with my tongue
Fire my gun, at your buns
Bitch dont make me drop that thun thun thun
Fuck Ebola, Fuck Sosa, fuck anorexia nervosa
You look at me, humbly
Constantly in good company
Come to me, looking hungry
Monkeys climbing money trees
As if they own the streets
Spend all the leaves, smoke all the green
What you want
What you want
What you want
What you want
What you need girl
What you need
What you need girl
What you need
What you breathe
Bitch, Im what you breathe
Watch you watching me as I watch the TV
Coming through, Im tumblin
Bitches drunk, they stumblin
Im mumblin, my stomach grumblin
Hungry from all the moist shit that Im hearing
Got me feeling, Im worth a million
A minion, bitch, Im brilliant, billing them a billion
And all those mother fucking villains
Getting shillings while theyre chilling
Sipping sizzurp talking bout killing
Spitting unappealing lyrics
Whilst theyre sitting on their Calvin
Klein, while their bitches behind
Rob your gold underwear whilst your sitting right there
Tie a shirt round her mouth, like shes in an affair
Hit her from the back, then pull her hair
Let her give fellatio, as we listen to the radio
Girl come back here
For I come right there
I been craving you like an avocado pear
You belong on the front of vanitity fair
You could be a pornstar or multimillionaire
Back to planet earth I was walking on air
Spit so dirty might need dental care
But if I gave a care Id read a book of common prayer
My mind so ill it needs tender love and care
Im so, raw, could get put behind bars
But Im a crazy muddafucka, like any other star
Guess that makes me regular
Im what you need
Im what you need
Im what you need
Bitch, watch me leave
Im what you need girl
Im what you need
Whoah, whoah, whoah
Thats a fatass spider
Fuck, Not another one

Lyrics from Snippet
Yeah |
Tell em
Tell em this girl wasnt made for lovin
Tell em this heart doesnt stay to one
Ill be the same, never changed for nothin
Its all I know, never learned much more
Tell em
Tell em
Mama called me destructive
Said itd ruin me one day
Cause every human that loved me, oh yeah
Seemed to push them away
Thats real life, oh oh oh
Real life, oh
Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh
Real life, real life, real life
Tell em
I know you dont really understand it
Im not allowed to regret my choice
I heard that love is a risk worth taking
I learned and know, Ive never been that girl
Mama called me destructive, oh yeah
Said itd ruin me one day, yeah
Cause every human that loved me
Seemed to push them away
Thats real life, oh oh oh
Real life, oh
Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh
Real life
Heaven only lets a few in
Its too late for me to choose it
Dont waste precious tears on me, Im not worth the misery
Im better off when Im alone
Thats real life, oh oh oh
Real life, oh
Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh
Real life, oh
Tell em bout that real life, oh oh oh
Real life
Were talking real life, oh oh oh
Real life
Real life, real life, oh oh oh
Tell em |
You bring good to my lonely life, honestly
It’s hard for me to look into your eyes
When I say that I would be nothing without your love
I feel the rush and it’s amazing
Maybe I’ve been always destined to end up in this place, yeah
I dont mean to come off selfish, but I want it all
Love will always be a lesson, lets get out of its way
Cause I know, all I know, all I know
Im a prisoner to
I think Ive been in Hollywood for too long
Cause I can feel my soul burning, feel it burning slow
But I would be nothing without the touch
I feel the rush and its amazing
Maybe I’ve been always destined to end up in this place
I dont mean to come off selfish, but I want it all
Love will always be a lesson, lets get out of its way
Cause I know, all I know, all I know
Im a prisoner to my
I’m a prisoner to my addiction
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold
I’m a prisoner to my decisions
Woooo, woooo, woooo
I’m a prisoner to my addiction
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold
I’m a prisoner to my decisions
Woooo, woooo, woooo
I dont know
I get so wrapped up in a world where nothings as it seems
And real life is stranger than my dreams |
Yine başladı, dostum
Bu odada, yataktaki iki yabancıdan başka bir şey değiliz
Yine beni kendine kaptırdın, dostum
Aşkımın sadece taklit olduğunu söylediğini nasıl unutabilirim?
Ona son zamanlarda onu düşündüğümü söyledim
Ama bana, onu sevmenin çok manyakça olduğunu söyledi
Çünkü o sevişmeyi seviyor
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, hepsi benim suçum
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor
Biliyorum zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, bunları hepsi bir oyun
Zor yoldan öğrendim
Tekrardan başladı, dostum
Kalbinde, iki yabancıdan başka bir şey değiliz
Sonra son zamanlarda onu düşündüğümü söyledim
Ama bana, onu sevmemin çok manyakça olduğunu söyledi
Çünkü o sevişmeyi seviyor
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, hepsi benim suçum
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor
Biliyorum zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, bunları hepsi bir oyun
Zor yoldan öğrendim
Başka biri olduğunu hissediyorum
En başından beri, zaman ayırmaya değdiğini
O sadece bir çağrı uzakta
Senin aklından ve kalbinden
Bu başladı, başladı
Yeniden, tekrardan, benim dostum, hey!
Çünkü o sevişmeyi seviyor
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, hepsi benim suçum
Zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor
Biliyorum zor yoldan öğrendim
O sevişmeyi seviyor, bunları hepsi bir oyun
Zor yoldan öğrendim |
Ooh, Im blinded by the lights
No, I cant sleep until I feel your touch

You dont even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

No ones around to judge me
I cant see clearly when youre go-o-one

Lyrics will be available upon release. Stay tuned! |
All alone, she was livin
In a world without an end or beginnin
Little girl was livin life for the feelin
But I dont mind, I dont mind
And all the wrongs she committed
She was numb and she was so co-dependent
She was young and all she had was the city
But I dont mind, I dont mind
I know
That shes capable of anything, its riveting
But when
You wake up shes always gone, gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night shes dancin to relieve the pain
Shell never walk away
In the night when she comes crawlin
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin down her face
Shell never walk away
I dont think you understand
He sang a song when he did it
He was cold and he was so unforgiving
Now she dances to the song on the minute
All the time, all the time, ah
It make her weak when she hears it
And it got her on her knees like religion
She was young and she was forced to be a woman
All the time, all the time
I know
That shes capable of anything, its riveting
Uh when
You wake up shes always gone, gone
In the night she hears him calling
In the night she dancin to relieve the pain
Shell never walk away
In the night when she comes crawlin
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin down her face
Shell never walk away
-You understand
I dont think you understand
Oh, I dont think you understand
I dont think you will understand
In the night she hears him calling
In the night shes dancin to relieve the pain
Shell never walk away
In the night when she comes crawlin
Dollar bills and tears keep fallin down her face
Shell never walk away
I dont think you understand |
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Ooo, oo, ooo-oo
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Baby, you were so strong
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Baby, you were calm, you were so calm, yeah
Ooo, oo, ooo-oo
Tell me where it went wrong
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Tell me how to love, its been so long
When a calls not enough, and you just need to touch
Thinking twice Im the one
But you just need to trust
Youre only looking for attention
You only notice it cause Im never around
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh
Youre only looking for attention
The only problem is youll never get enough
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh
What do you expect now?
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Only thing left is the sеx now
Ooo, oo, ooo-oo
Cause baby, too vexed now
Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Only see mе on the TV or the bed now
When a touch not enough
You were more than a fuck
Thinking twice, Im the one
But you just need to trust
Youre only looking for attention
You only notice it cause Im never around
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh
Youre only looking for attention
The only problem is youll never get enough
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh-oh
Oh
I need my bed provided
Every time were on the go
I need your body right here
When you leave me the bed small
Youre only looking for attention
You only notice it cause Im never around
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh
Youre only looking for attention
The only problem is youll never get enough
Youre only looking for attention, oh, oh-oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh |
This house is not a home to you
But you decide to go and have a lay ....
I brought you to my house, my home, your not alone
I remember when we use to stay up late on the phone
Texted back and forth you was in love with my voice
I cut studio time and wouldnt chill with my boys
You was a stripper from the Chi, but you loved Illinois
That was your ex, but he really couldnt make no noise
And you played with toys cause he couldnt make you scream
It was your dream by choice just to sleep with me
I made you moan and cry, lets get it on tonight
Before it gets crazy lets turn off the lights
Then mommy come ride me like a motor bike
I took off the condom cause the rubbers too tight
I wasnt using my mind, I was tipsy off the wine
But nine months later your hollering that its mine?
Many men grind before you met me
But you choose to go on TV to disrespect me: why ?
I’m so wrong, I’m so wrong
To let you in my home
Now you know where I sleep
I let you in my room and I see how you do
Now your left all alone and your calling me cruel?
Your son dont like you and your mother doesnt either
But you turn my fans against me and made them non believers
But Im fighting through these industry scandals like Justin Bieber
I thought you were Selena, how could you betray me?
I thought you was mature but your not my type of lady
Its crazy how women can be so shady
But baby Im strong and i learned from my wrongs
I put nothing but the truth into these songs
Life lives on even though the soul is torn
But Ive been like this ever since i was born
And i made one wish but Im stuck in the storm

So is this swearing or no swearing?” In a darkened soundstage on the outskirts of London, Abel Tesfaye is wondering if he can say “fuck” or not. Tesfaye, better known as breakout pop sensation the Weeknd, is at a rehearsal for Later...With Jools Holland, the BBC music show, about to soundcheck his smash hit “The Hills,” a four-minute horror-movie booty call featuring more than a dozen f-bombs. For Tesfaye, that’s relatively clean, but he knows the pensioners in Twickenham might disagree. So when the verdict comes back “no swearing,” he nods and smoothly pivots to a censored version — a small gesture that says a lot about the kind of professional he has become.
“The Hills” is currently enjoying its fourth straight week at Number One, a feat made even more impressive because it took the place of another Weeknd track, “Can’t Feel My Face” — Spotify’s official song of the summer, and the only song about cocaine ever to be lip-synced by Tom Cruise on network TV. Tesfaye is just the 12th artist in history to score back-to-back Number Ones, a group that includes Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Taylor Swift. His new album, Beauty Behind the Madness, has sold more than half a million copies in a couple of months, and he’s preparing to launch a national arena tour in November. “I’m still digesting it, to be honest with you,” Tesfaye says of his success. “But the screams keep getting louder, dude.”
This scene would not have seemed possible in 2011, when the Weeknd appeared with a trio of cult-favorite mixtapes that established both his sonic template — drug-drenched, indie-rock-sampling, sex-dungeon R&B — and his mysterious, brooding persona. A press-shy Ethiopian kid from Toronto who has given only a handful of interviews, he has cultivated a near-mythical image as a bed-hopping, pill-popping, chart-topping cipher. “We live in an era when everything is so excessive, I think it’s refreshing for everybody to be like, ‘Who the fuck is this guy?” Tesfaye says. “I think that’s why my career is going to be so long: Because I haven’t given people everything.”
Spend just five minutes with him, though, and he reveals himself: sweet, soft-spoken, surprisingly earnest. When I tell him he’s not what I expected, he nods. “When people meet me, they say that I’m really kind — contrary to a lot of my music.”
When talking about his art and his career, Tesfaye is blessed with a towering self-confidence and has no hesitation about declaring his own greatness. “People tell me I’m changing the culture,” he says. “I already can’t turn on the radio. I think I’m gonna drop one more album, one more powerful body of work, then take a little break — go to Tokyo or Ethiopia or some shit.” Hearing him boast about talking shop with Bono, or name-dropping “Naomi Campbell, who’s a good friend of mine now,” you may be tempted to see a diva in the making; or you may see a 25-year-old guy who’s stoked and incredulous to be in the position he’s in.
After rehearsal, Tesfaye is in the greenroom with his two managers, 31-year-old Amir “Cash” Esmailian and 35-year-old Tony Sal. Cash is a first-generation Iranian-Canadian sweetheart who occasionally yells things into the phone like, “You may as well bend me over a table, bro!”; Sal is a courtly charmer who grew up in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war and now dates a former Miss USA. Right now, they’re trying to figure out how to get from Norway, where Tesfaye will be for promo in a few days, to Texas, where he has a show. According to their tour manager, the only commercial flight from Oslo to Austin is at 8 a.m.
“What about noncommercial?” asks Cash. The tour manager says he’ll check, but they’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Cash looks around and grins: “The label’s paying for it, right?”
I feel so much better today. I feel amazing right now.”
The next afternoon, Tesfaye is in a seventh-floor suite at his Soho hotel, having spent most of the previous 18 hours in bed. When a bellman brings in a silver tray with a selection of waters, Tesfaye pours himself a glass. “I just started being fancy, to be honest,” he says. “Like, I just started learning how to pronounce what I’m wearing.” He imitates a snooty shopgirl: “‘It’s not Bal-mane, it’s Bal-mahn.‘ ‘Oh, sorry!”
When he first started recording as the Weeknd, Tesfaye was an unlikely star. “I was everything an R&B singer wasn’t,” he says. “I wasn’t in shape. I wasn’t a pretty boy. I was awkward as fuck. I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures — when I saw myself on a digital camera, I was like, ‘Eesh.‘” Instead of his face, his album art and videos featured black-and-white photos of artful nudes — a topless girl in a bathtub, a woman’s ass in a party dress. The aesthetic was American Apparel-style hipster catnip, right down to the Helvetica font.
Early Weeknd songs were atmospheric and chilly, their thick narcotic haze sliced by his broken-glass falsetto. The lyrics were an addiction counselor’s worst nightmare: pills, pain, shame, serotonin, danger. He and his crew posted three songs on YouTube and started spamming their friends on Facebook, then watched the play counts slowly climb. “I don’t know how many it actually was, but it felt like a million,” Tesfaye says. “Five hundred plays? Holy shit!” Toronto being a small town in some ways, the songs were heard by Drake’s manager, Oliver El-Khatib, who posted them to the OVO blog, where they promptly blew up. “Apparently, Drake wasn’t even fucking with it at first,” Tesfaye says today. “Oliver was the one vouching for me.”
The then-anonymous Tesfaye declined all interviews. In part, it was because he worried he wasn’t well-spoken enough: A high school dropout, he used to do crossword puzzles to improve his vocabulary, and to this day, he often wishes he were more articulate. “Me not finishing school — in my head, I still have this insecurity when I’m talking to someone educated,” he says. “I don’t want them looking at me like this fucking retard — no disrespect.” For months, no one even knew if the Weeknd was a person or a group. That’s when Tesfaye realized he “could run with the whole enigmatic thing,” he says now. “If it backfired, I probably would have been doing interviews. But people were kind of liking me being a fucking weirdo.”
The three free mixtapes that followed — House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence — made him a darling of indie circles, and Tesfaye isn’t shy about praising them. “I probably could have toured off Trilogy for the rest of my life,” he says. “It definitely changed the culture. No one can do a trilogy again without thanking the Weeknd. A lot of artists started doing things faster and quicker after that: Justin Timberlake dropped two albums in a year, Beyoncé dropped a surprise album.” He’s equally proud of the music itself: “I’m not gonna say any names, but just listen to the radio. Every song is House of Balloons 2.0.”
Drake gave Tesfaye a big boost when he featured the Weeknd on his double-platinum 2011 album, Take Care. But for Tesfaye, being under the wing of his fellow Torontonian was a mixed blessing: A handful of songs he’d written for House of Balloons ended up on Take Care. As Tesfaye said in a 2013 interview, “I was hungry….I was like, ‘Dude, take anything.” Today, he says he has nothing but gratitude for Drake, whom he calls “my closest friend in the industry at that time.” Still, he says, “I gave up almost half of my album. It’s hard. I will always be thankful — if it wasn’t for the light he shined on me, who knows where I’d be. And everything happens for a reason.” That said: “You never know what I would say if this success wasn’t in front of me now.”
It wasn’t long before the major labels came calling. But even then, few would have pegged Tesfaye for the global superstar he is now — least of all him. “Never in a million years,” he says. “At the time, I thought I’d be a punk star — grow my hair out, acne on my face, super-fucking-skinny. I was looking at artists like Iggy Pop and the Ramones, or Afropunk. But you evolve and realize your potential. And then it’s like, ‘Fuck yeah. Let’s go.”
And now, a few words about the hair: The Weeknd’s hair is by far his most recognizable trait. There are Tumblrs and website listicles devoted to it; when I told the immigration agent at Heathrow what I was doing in the U.K., he said, “That’s the geezer with all the hair, innit?”
Tesfaye’s hair can be divided into roughly four sectors, each with its own distinct personality . The overall effect is that of a rare double mullet: party in the front, party in the back. There’s not much to maintaining it, he says — just a hard shampoo every once in a while. But there are other annoying parts. “Sleeping. I wake up with neck pains sometimes. And not being able to hide myself.”
Tesfaye says the hair was partly inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. He began growing it out four years ago: “I want to be remembered as iconic and different,” he says. “So I was like, ‘Fuck it — I’m gonna let my hair just be what it wants.’ I’ll probably cut it if it starts interfering with my sight. I can kind of see it right now. But if I cut it, I’d look like everyone else. And that’s just so boring to me.”
Tesfaye’s hair also prompted one of his most WTF celebrity encounters. He was at a party for Sam Smith after this year’s Grammys, at an $80 million mansion in Bel-Air. Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran were there; Disclosure were DJ’ing. “Everyone was hammered,” Tesfaye says. “Sam had just won, like, every Grammy, so he was having the time of his life. Max Martin actually left because everyone was so drunk. Unfortunately, that was the one month I decided to stop drinking. Everybody was having a great time, all these cool things were happening, and I was shaking, like — ‘Fuck, I really want a drink.”
That’s when he met Taylor Swift. “She actually schooled me on my own shit,” Tesfaye says. “She was like, ‘I’ve been listening to ‘The Morning’ for years — it’s one of my favorite songs ever!’ I mean, she might have just Googled it. But she seemed genuine.”
Tesfaye says Swift went on for about 15 minutes. “But the whole time she was talking,” he says, “she was kind of, like, petting my hair? I think she was just drawn to it — she must have been a little gone off a few drinks. And of course I’m not going to be like, ‘Hey, can you stop?’ I mean, it felt good! But when she started petting my hair, that’s when I was like, ‘I definitely need a drink.”
Anyone who’s heard the Weeknd sing or seen his stage moves knows the debt he owes to Michael Jackson. He often says it was Jackson’s music that made him want to be a singer, and the lyrics to “Dirty Diana” that made him want to write songs. But Jackson was even more important to his family than to most, because of their East African roots. “People forget — ‘We Are the World’ is for Ethiopia,” he says. “At home, if it wasn’t Ethiopian music, it was Michael. He was our icon.”
Tesfaye’s mother, Samra, emigrated from Ethiopia in the 1980s and settled with her mother in Scarborough, a drab neighborhood on the east side of Toronto. She juggled several jobs — nurse, catering, plus night school — and when she was home, she’d baby her only child. “I’m a mama’s boy,” Tesfaye admits. “Everything good, I get from my mother.” He was a quiet kid, and a little lonely sometimes. “I always wanted a brother so I’d have somebody to play with,” he says. “I remember lying to people that I had brothers — that’s how much I wanted one.”
Tesfaye’s mother and grandmother lived through Ethiopia’s so-called Red Terror, after Emperor Haile Selassie’s death, during which tens of thousands of civilians were killed by a military junta. But they never talked about it, and Tesfaye doesn’t know much of the history. “I actually wish Bono was here to school us both on it,” he jokes. “He knows more about Africa than any African I’ve ever met. I remember hearing some stories from my uncles — they would chew chat and talk. But I don’t think my mom wanted to tell those stories. I don’t think Ethiopians want their kids to feel like Ethiopia is a bad place.”
Because his mother worked so much, his grandmother took care of him a lot, taking him to services at their Ethiopian Orthodox church. His first language was Amharic, not English, and he says his high-flying vocal style was influenced by habesha singers like Aster Aweke. He still loves Ethiopian food: “It’s the best, man. But it’s very fattening. I think I’m still burning off that fat, to be honest. For an Ethiopian mother, if you have a chubby kid, it means you’re doing something good.” Tesfaye recently bought his mother a “huge house” in Toronto. “I think me getting my diploma would make her much happier, though.”
Tesfaye doesn’t know much about his father beyond his name: Makkonen, also Tesfaye’s middle name. The elder Tesfaye took off when Abel was one or two: “I saw him vaguely when I was six, and then again when I was 11 or 12, and he had a new family and kids. I don’t even know where he lived — I’d see him for, like, a night. I’m sure he’s a great guy. I never judged him. He wasn’t abusive, he wasn’t an alcoholic, he wasn’t an asshole. He just wasn’t there.”
Tesfaye was an up-and-down student. Until eighth grade, he was in French-immersion class, which meant he had to speak French all day. His mother sent him to piano lessons for a while, but he preferred pop music. He grew up in a golden age of R&B when Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Timbaland and the Neptunes were all over BET. “The late Nineties really formed my style — that sexy downtempo vibe,” he says. Later he got into rap — especially 50 Cent, whose debut came out when Tesfaye was 11 — and in middle school, he started smoking weed, so soon Hendrix and Led Zeppelin were in the mix. “I was the kid wearing the Pink Floyd shirt and listening to Ginuwine in my ear,” he says.
When he was 17, Tesfaye says, he got kicked out of his school for “some incident” that he can’t remember. He had to transfer to a rougher school across town, away from all his friends. “Imagine starting all over at Grade 11? Fuck that — peace.” He lasted six months before dropping out and leaving home, and he and two friends moved into a one-bedroom house at 65 Spencer Avenue, in an up-and-coming Toronto neighborhood called Parkdale. “It was amazing,” Tesfaye says. “No parents, we can do what we want, stay up as late as we want — like, literally for days.” Two blocks away was a strip of hip bars and clubs. “We kind of put that part of the city on,” Tesfaye says. “We were legends on that street. If you go there now, it’s all these little 18-year-old kids that look like me.”
Tesfaye had long wanted to be a musician, and he started pursuing it in earnest. He formed a hip-hop duo called Bulleez N Nerdz, rapping under the name Kin Kane. Later, he joined a local production team called the Noise and wrote songs he imagined being performed by Justin Timberlake, Drake and Chris Brown. He also started partying a lot. “I never needed detox or anything,” he says. “But I was addicted in the sense of ‘Fuck, I don’t want to spend this day without getting high.” For a while he was homeless and couch-surfing; he didn’t talk to his mom for a year. “Like, ’08 to 2010 — those are my hazy years,” Tesfaye says. “I have this lyric that goes, ‘I’m not scared of the fall/I’ve felt the ground before.’ And in this industry, I’m not really scared of failing, because I already know what it means to be on the ground.”
One night, Tesfaye is joined in London by his girlfriend, Bella Hadid, the 18-year-old runway model and Real Housewives daughter.
Hadid just arrived from Milan Fashion Week, where she walked in four shows. Now she’s hanging backstage with the crew, waiting for Tesfaye to get back, smoking cigarettes and eating chicken wings in a tight red dress. One of the guys asks what she’s up to. “I go to Paris tomorrow,” she says. “I can’t wait.” Tesfaye just bought her a puppy for her upcoming 19th birthday — a little black Yorkie named Hendrix. “But I’m probably going to end up taking care of it,” he says.
Tesfaye and Hadid have been dating since last April. “I actually asked her to be on the artwork for Beauty Behind the Madness,” Tesfaye says. “My motive was literally to work with her.” But when she declined, “I was like, ‘All right, cool — we can meet up face-to-face.” Tesfaye says he loves how hardworking she is, and how close she is with her family. “It just kind of fell into my lap,” he says. “If this had happened two years ago — well,” he catches himself, “she couldn’t.” “But if I’d met someone two years ago, I probably would’ve fucked it up. But I’m more — how do I say it? — clear-thinking now.”
In his music, Tesfaye has presented a conflicted, frequently cold view of women and relationships. On Drake’s “Crew Love,” he brushes off a girl who dares to distract him from his art . On “Often,” he brags about turning a woman’s erogenous zone into a meteorological phenomenon.
Tesfaye says the sex in his music is mostly autobiographical. “I mean, no girl has ever actually rained,” he says. “But if that’s not what you mean, then yeah. I don’t want to sound like that guy where sex is not an obstacle. But I’ve had a lot of sex.”
Tesfaye lost his virginity when he was 16. A friend in college took him to a toga party, and he told a girl he was a student at nearby York University. “I could have been a student at fuckin’ McDonald’s, she was so drunk,” he says. “I was drunk too. It was the worst experience of my life. Losing your virginity to an older woman sounds good, but it was kinda like, ‘Oh shit, it’s done?” In general, he says, he “wasn’t a ladies’ man — it was nothing like it is now.” He quotes the rapper Mike Jones: “The line ‘Back then, ho’s didn’t want me/Now I’m hot, ho’s all on me’ is definitely relevant.”
Part of the allure of the Weeknd’s music is its emotional chilliness — the way he creates a world that sounds both sexy and numbed-out. Next to his darkest songs, an R. Kelly track can seem almost wistfully romantic. The debauchery can have a creepy undercurrent: Tesfaye’s songs, especially the early ones, occasionally depict troubling situations, like on 2011’s “High for This,” where he sings about getting a girl wasted before having sex with her. “Everything is consent,” Tesfaye insists. “The tone is dark, the environment is the dark. But there’s not force in it. They want to have a good time. Everybody wants to be there. Whether they regret their choices after is whatever. But everybody is in consent.”
There’s a more disturbing dynamic at work on 2011’s “Initiation,” where Tesfaye’s narrator implies that before a girl can be with him, she has to sleep with the rest of his crew.
“Back then, it was like, ‘Hey, you want to fucking hang out? Here’s my boys,” he says. “It’s just me documenting what’s around me. Whether it is something that happened to me or something I see. Nobody’s forcing anybody to do anything. I really do believe a woman does whatever she wants to do.”
Tesfaye doesn’t seem to have spent much time thinking about the implications of these lyrics since he wrote them, and seems taken aback by the suggestion of anything predatory: “I definitely should’ve seen this coming,” he says. “At some point, I’ll probably have to answer for this. But it’s consent, all of it.”
In 2013, Tesfaye released Kiss Land, the much-anticipated follow-up to his mixtape trilogy. He was hoping it would launch him to the next level, but it didn’t take off. “It humbled me a bit,” he says. “I can be honest about it. Nobody wants to put out music where the reception’s not great.” Tesfaye considered moving to Seattle, where the depressing vibes might inspire something interesting. But he wound up in L.A. instead. “No matter how dark my experiences were during Trilogy, it’s nothing like L.A.,” he says. “L.A. is dark.”
Tesfaye is back in Los Angeles tonight, having landed early this morning. He’s still jet-lagged, sipping an Old Fashioned at a steakhouse downstairs from his hotel. He actually rents a house in town, in the Hollywood Hills, but he doesn’t like staying there. “I think it’s haunted, to be honest with you,” he says. “I’ve had sleep paralysis. I hear voices sometimes. I heard the Hills are over Indian burial ground. But maybe it’s just the wind.”
Tesfaye is glad he ended up in L.A. “The relationships I made here have helped me so much.” He says he signed with his label, Republic Records, specifically because of its success in pop radio. “I could have gone with another label that was really good at branding, but I’d already built a strong brand myself,” he says. “I wanted someone who could do what I couldn’t.”
“One thing about Abel that people don’t realize is, he’s incredibly ambitious,” says Republic label head Monte Lipman. Tesfaye asked the record company to help assemble some hits. In the summer of 2014, Republic sent him a half-finished song by labelmate Ariana Grande, “Love Me Harder,” produced by the Swedish pop wizard Max Martin.
“It was a great song,” Tesfaye says, “but it was a little generic. I couldn’t hear myself on it. So I changed it and made it dark.” He rewrote the lyrics and sent them back, and Martin liked what he heard. “It was kind of like the label giving me an alley-oop,” Tesfaye says. “I think that’s where the stars aligned for me. When I see an opening” — he punches his fist in his palm — “I penetrate it.”
The song was released that September. “If people didn’t like it, I would’ve been like, ‘Let’s sweep it under the rug.’ But people were fucking with it.” The song went to Number Seven and marked a turning point for Tesfaye — the beginning of his mainstream conquest. He followed that with “Earned It,” from the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack, a slinky BDSM slow-jam that sounded like nothing else on pop radio and rode to Number Three on the charts. Then he went into the studio with Martin to craft some hits of his own.
“His whole operation is just genius,” Tesfaye says of the producer. “I was told he doesn’t do this very much, but he would actually sit on the floor with us and come up with ideas. I feel like usually he’ll collaborate, but he’s not as passionate or as hands-on. I felt superhonored, you know? It was some real Michael-and-Quincy, John Lennon-and-Paul McCartney stuff.”
Martin ended up co-producing three songs on the album: “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Shameless” and the forthcoming single “In the Night,” another Jackson homage that could become the Weeknd’s biggest hit yet. “If it works, it’s going to be huge,” Tesfaye says. “It’s like that load that you’re trying to hold in — I’m just waiting for the money shot.”
The Weeknd’s mixtapes, and even Kiss Land to an extent, relied a lot on atmosphere and mood, their hooks cloaked in a woozy codeine haze. Beauty Behind the Madness is more like a cocaine bump: shorter, tighter, more energetic. “It’s all about songs for me right now,” he says. “The production can be cool and crazy-sounding, but that’s just special effects. If you can’t strip it down and play it on piano, it’s not a good song.” He cites Radiohead as an example: “I love Radiohead, they’re one of the greatest of all time. But can you break down their songs and play them on piano? Maybe not.”
To Tesfaye, writing pop songs is a whole lot harder than writing cool songs. “Some people are like, ‘Oh, yeah, just sell out and do pop music.’ So you fucking do it, then! It’s not easy. Can I be honest with you? What all these kids are doing right now? I could do that in my sleep. I listen to it, and it doesn’t test me at all. I could make a girl go like this” — he does a little shimmy-dance — “with a beat. It’s very easy. I did it so much I can’t do it anymore. But pop music? That shit’s hard, dude.”
Three days later, tesfaye is across the country at Studio 8H in NBC’s Rockefeller Center, at a rehearsal for Saturday Night Live. Across the room, host Amy Schumer is posing on a chaise lounge in a black-lace Eighties Madonna dress. Tesfaye is soundchecking the same two songs he always does: “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills.” SNL wanted him to do “In the Night” instead, but it’s a tough song to sing live, and he didn’t feel ready. Even he can recognize his limitations: “I’m not known as the greatest singer right now,” Tesfaye says, “but I’m also not known as the guy who fucking sucks, you know?”
After the camera-blocking, a producer comes over to ask Tesfaye’s team if he’ll shoot a couple of promos with Schumer and cast member Kate McKinnon. At first they decline, but Tesfaye knows what a big deal SNL is, so he agrees. He looks nervous as he takes his mark and stares at the cue cards. “Are you ready?” Schumer teases. “It’s not easy….”
They do a few takes, Tesfaye playing the straight man while Schumer and McKinnon improvise wackily. He’s funny — just the right amount of deadpan. When he asks about a typo on one of the cue cards, Schumer playfully smacks his shoulder: “Well, look who can read!” The director says they have it, and Schumer turns and gives Tesfaye a hug: “You were so good!” An embarrassed Tesfaye smiles, makes two finger-guns and blows his brains out.
At the broadcast Saturday night, Tesfaye is joined by surprise guest Nicki Minaj, who raps on a brand-new remix of “The Hills.” But the highlight for him was meeting Louis C.K., who was “just chilling backstage.” “He was in the middle of a conversation,” Tesfaye says, “and I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever gonna see you again, so in case I don’t, I just want to tell you how much I admire your work.’ I don’t think he recognized who I was, but he was supersweet.”

Or the time he met the Band’s Robbie Robertson at Canada’s Walk of Fame. “Robbie’s from Scarborough too, actually. I met him and Peter Fonda together — those guys know how to party. I’m an avid film-watcher. Growing up, I loved anything Scorsese and De Niro, and Robbie’s been Scorsese’s friend for years, and consulted on Scorsese’s music. So he’d tell me stories about them. I live for these moments.” And then, most charmingly, there’s the time he simply overheard a conversation between LL Cool J and Denzel Washington at an Oscar party. “That’s when I was like, ‘You know what? I think I fuckin’ made it, dude.”
At 3 a.m., after the SNL afterparty, Tesfaye will board a private jet that will take him to Austin for his headlining slot at ACL fest — his last festival of the year before he shuts down to prep for his own tour. There will be fireworks and a pyro display during “The Hills,” and 30,000 people singing along to “Can’t Feel My Face.” During “Often,” he’ll change the hook to say, “Ask how many times I come to Texas/I say Austin!” and then afterward, he’ll run offstage into a waiting SUV and enjoy a police-motorcycle escort on the way back to his hotel.
It’s a long way from his first big festival gig, in 2012 at Coachella. “Coachella was the first show I did in the States, and I hated my performance,” he says. “I was scared shitless. I got offstage and thought I did pretty good, then I watched the tape, and it was a nightmare. I saw all the comments, and I wanted to kill myself. I remember telling my agent, ‘You need to book me as many shows as possible. That guy onstage is not a star. That’s not a legend.”
So Tesfaye got to work. He took some dance lessons, trying to build confidence and learn how to perform. And he played lots of shows. “I was performing my ass off,” he says. “My touring was booming. Everybody was confused — I don’t have a hit song, and I’m doing two nights at Radio City? I’m not saying I’m Beyoncé, but I feel like I went after it and nailed it.”
When it came down to it, Tesfaye was driven by fear. “I think the worst thing anyone can say about an artist is, ‘He could have been great,” he says. “I was always scared of being that guy where it’s like, ‘He could have been big. He could have been a star.’ I was afraid I’d see somebody else up there and be like, ‘You’re trying to tell me they’re better than me? Why? Because they’ve got a couple of smash records? I can do smashes. I could figure it out.’
“And to be honest with you, it’s been, what, a couple of years now? And it feels great. I feel great.” |
