Requiem Inc. - ​otstw lyrics

They asked me to rap about happiness
Surprise my mind went blank after this
Cause when pain and strife are
What paints your life
It's a pain like painting
Poems without a pen
Insane? Yes I know but just imagine it
They say that we could really
Do what Brockhampton did
They say that we could really get
Our own house this year
And brag about our crib and
Van kinda like Ameer
It's 20 just people on the run
No parents, no rules, we just having fun
Reminiscing about the days when
We first begun
I'm blacker than Blakey Blake
In the Cali sun, but
These are the dreams that I keep up inside
These are the dreams that I dream every night
If these are my dreams then I don’t know why
Cause these are the dreams never born
But they died

Though I was just starting
You got what you wanted from me, from me

I feel like a million bucks
So I'ma get high while you're low, now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can try to call my bluff
But I'ma grin wide and get fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Breathe in the steam while
I get squeaky clean
Feel the cold water hit me
I'm singing like Whitney houston, Texas
No one in my family owns a Lexus
It ain't hectic
But sometimes it just gets senseless
I just think that they watch too much news
My dad thinks traveling the world
He's going on a cruise
JFK the president went blap blap blap
Who knew about everything that happened
In the past past past?
I've got uncles and aunties that
Hooked on crack crack crack
And I know that my life is
Sometimes just so whack whack whack, but

Though I was just starting
You got what you wanted from me, from me

I feel like a million bucks
So I'ma get high while you're low, now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can try to call my bluff
But I'ma grin wide and get fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I'm off to see the
World on a silver plate
Serve it in a mirror and I
Promise I'll be home safe
Cleanse me of a disease
I swear we'll be like two peas
Stuck inside this shell of a pearl
It's us against the world
Curly like your hair in the
Waves of the sky above
I'm drowning in your hemisphere
Don't rush me in the rough
Love me while you could
You're a shed inside the woods
I would stay inside for comfort but
Afraid that it would flood
Fear, I'm stunned by the way
That you look at me
Maybe it's my mind, I need somebody
Stumble to define your smile
Hoping you'd come over and just
Stay for a while i don't wanna step off of
This train in your life
I know I colored it 'round
But theres darkness if I try
Let's just stay in this moment
Live a second in the past
Let's just stay in this moment
So I know the time would last

I feel like a million bucks
In this life I'm living, uh
Yesterday it was a fumble
But today I'm pickin up
Got some matches up on bumble
Staring at my muscles
Such a narcissist but I gotta get the bundles
I just got in my Benz, my nigga, yeah
Forget the bus i be coming with the hit's
Like your boy deliver punch
And my kicks too clean think that
You could lick it up victory on the scene
Can you feel the Cali sun?
Can you, feel what we got in store
Feel what we got for sure, ahh
Going to the top for sure
See u from the top I'm sure
I know that it's been a while since
The River Nile smiled on your skin
Don't you know that you be glowing
Gotta find your light within
Shine like the pyramids the aliens wanted
I just had a good day I love it, yuh

I feel like a million bucks
So I'ma get high while you're low, now
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can try to call my bluff
But I'ma grin wide and get fucked up
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Like, do they really gotta act dumb?
Bitches acting silly till a
Plaques turn platinum
Then shit, the plot thickens
Like all it ever did was
Eat cake and plop chickens
Mean, look at that anatomy
Baby girl was even badder
Than that last analogy
It’s sad to see but I’ll
Still have her happily
Knowing damn well when I was just average
Would've never happened, imagine that shit
Wait, snap back to reality
Woke my eyes closed
But that throat is not fantasy
Jokes is on fam
Cause she choke on my family tree
Didn’t think it would happen so rapidly
Raps is so acid
I hope I get a chance to meet a
Rapper colder than the folks in Happy Feet
Then maybe some day
I’ll turn his ass into a fan of me
But guess for now we’ll just have to see

But these are the dreams that
I keep up inside
These are the dreams that I dream every night
If these are my dreams then I don’t know why
Cause these are the dreams never born
But they died
