Somehow we gotta find a way
No matter how many miles it takes
I know it feels so good right now
But it all come falling down
When the night, meet the light
Turn to day
Can't stop, yeah, you won't stop
I know just how that feel
When you're on top, 'til the ball drop
You've never seen it be so real
It feels so good right now
But it all come falling down
When the night, meets the light
Turn to day
Feel it a little, feel it a lot
I'm swimming a bit, but deeper in thought
Keeping my head on top of my shoulders
Into some shit, I'm out of the box
This the level I'm on
Needing it all right now when forever is gone
Baby, the weather is strong
Whether it's hot or cold
I'm coming, knocking on your door
Well, I'ma, I'ma maintain, I'm staying so high
Put the ladder all the way up 'til we touching the sky
And you know you're dead wrong, you're in love with a lie
All I, all I, all I wanna do is free your mind
We don't see no lines, we don't color inside
It's a very small world, we don't fuck with the size
Yeah, see the bigger picture when it's beneficial
Loving how I catch you blow the whistle when you run out of time
Yeah, waking up I open up my eyes
Do you mind if I blow your mind?
A little closer, baby, don't be shy
Why you worried that it's gon' be fine?
I guess it's that kinda day
It's really all I'm tryna say
We don't have a lot of time to waste
Somehow we gotta find a way
Somehow we gotta find a way
No matter how many miles it takes
I know it feels so good right now
But it all comes falling down
When the night, meet the light
Turn to day
I wouldn't wait forever
Just shoot your shot
We don't need no more, no extras
We all we got
Yeah, yeah
All the lights flickering hitting the right switches
I'm living this life different and missing the flight bullshitting
I had a plan to change, you can't stand the rain
Little delay, but I came and you're cool with it
I don't trip, flip or lose my grip
And I don't know it all, but I do know this
Before you know me, better know yourself
I've been in this shit so long that it don't smell
I burn the hotel to a castle
Livin' like the king for a grand
I don't do nothin' that's a hassle
Besides, even that castle's made of sand
Just might slip into the sea
Fuck it all if it all ain't me
Maybe we inside the maze
Somehow we gotta find a way, okay
Somehow we gotta find a way
No matter how many miles it takes
I know it feels so good right now
But it all comes falling down
When the night, meet the light
Turn to day
I wouldn't wait forever
Just shoot your shot
We don't need no more, no extras
We all we got
