Oh, oh, oh, mmmHow am I free when you hold me so tight?How can I beam when you blocking my light?I cannot be what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beHow can I see when you cover my eyes?And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?So tell me right now what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beYeah, ooh, what you wanna do is tell me off, noWhat you wanna do is fuck me up, oohWhat you not gonna do is top me offSo excuse me for an hour while I love myselfYou told me, you'd protect my heartYou'd be my goalieThinkin' 'bout the bullshit that you sold meAnd I know that I ain't perfect, but you so meanWe were homiesYou trip me up just to watch me fallSmoke another cigarette, wash the last one downSo down, down, 'til I'm flat on my faceYou're the reason why I get so highHow am I free when you hold me so tight?How can I beam when you blocking my light?I cannot be what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beHow can I see when you cover my eyes?And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?So tell me right now what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beGot a custom diamond ring and noHe don't got a wifeGot a large amount of thingsI can't total the priceI told her I don't need herShe can leave out my life (Life)You only get one tryBut if it's lit, we go twice (Twice)Uh, pull up in a hard top, it's a drop-top (Top)Told you we'd be multimillionaires, why lie? (Lie)She know I do not care for no pressin' my mindThe federal skeleton on my wristSay prime-time (Time)How couldn't you just let me be me?You starting to be measly (Measly)I couldn't even find out 'cause you leavin' meYou can tell I'm pureYou can feel my energy (Energy)Really rich, we ain't living freeGot to keep it solid, and we all agreeHow am I free when you hold me so tight?How can I beam when you blocking my light?I cannot be what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beHow can I see when you cover my eyes?And can I just sleep when I'm so fucking tired?So tell me right now what you want meWhat you want me, what you want me to beOoh, ah, ah, ah, ah
