Lyrics

0:11How am I free when you hold me so tight
0:14How can I beam when you blocking my light
0:17I cannot be what you want me what you want me
0:19What you want me to be
0:23How can I see when you cover my eyes
0:25And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
0:28So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
0:31What you want me to be
0:35Ooh
0:36What you wanna do is tell me off no
0:39What you wanna do is f**k me up ooh
0:42What you not gonna do is top me off
0:44So excuse me for an hour while I love myself
0:47You told me you'd protect my heart you'd be my goalie
0:52Thinking bout the bulls**t that you sold me
0:55And I know that I ain't perfect but you so mean
0:58We were homies
0:59You trip me up just to watch me fall
1:02Smoke another cigarette wash the last one down
1:05So down down til I'm flat on my face
1:08You're the reason why I get so high
1:11How am I free when you hold me so tight
1:14How can I beam when you blocking my light
1:17I cannot be what you want me what you want me
1:19What you want me to be
1:23How can I see when you cover my eyes
1:25And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
1:28So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
1:31What you want me to be
1:35Got a custom diamond ring
1:36And no he don't got a wife
1:38Got a large amount things I can't total the price
1:41I told her I don't need her she can leave out my life
1:44You only get one try but if it's lit we go twice
1:47Uhuhhhhh
1:48Pull up in a hard top it's a drop top
1:51Told you we'd be multimillionaires why lie
1:54She know I do not care for no pressin my mind
1:57The federal skeleton on my wrist say prime-time
2:00How couldn't you just let me be me
2:02You starting to be measly
2:03I couldn't even find out cause you leaving me
2:06You can tell I'm pure you can feel my energy
2:08Really rich we ain't living free
2:09Got to keep it solid
2:10And we all agree
2:11How am I free when you hold me so tight
2:14How can I beam when you blocking my light
2:17I cannot be what you want me what you want me
2:19What you want me to be
2:23How can I see when you cover my eyes
2:25And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
2:28So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
2:31What you want me to be
How am I free when you hold me so tight
How can I beam when you blocking my light
I cannot be what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes
And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
Ooh
What you wanna do is tell me off no
What you wanna do is f**k me up ooh
What you not gonna do is top me off
So excuse me for an hour while I love myself
You told me you'd protect my heart you'd be my goalie
Thinking bout the bulls**t that you sold me
And I know that I ain't perfect but you so mean
We were homies
You trip me up just to watch me fall
Smoke another cigarette wash the last one down
So down down til I'm flat on my face
You're the reason why I get so high
How am I free when you hold me so tight
How can I beam when you blocking my light
I cannot be what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes
And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
Got a custom diamond ring
And no he don't got a wife
Got a large amount things I can't total the price
I told her I don't need her she can leave out my life
You only get one try but if it's lit we go twice
Uhuhhhhh
Pull up in a hard top it's a drop top
Told you we'd be multimillionaires why lie
She know I do not care for no pressin my mind
The federal skeleton on my wrist say prime-time
How couldn't you just let me be me
You starting to be measly
I couldn't even find out cause you leaving me
You can tell I'm pure you can feel my energy
Really rich we ain't living free
Got to keep it solid
And we all agree
How am I free when you hold me so tight
How can I beam when you blocking my light
I cannot be what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
How can I see when you cover my eyes
And can I just sleep when I'm so f**king tired
So tell me right now what you want me what you want me
What you want me to be
