Saba, Day Wave - 2012 lyrics

Yeah

Two students that had each other back
In a world against 'em
Who barely showed up to class once
They had each other's attention
I'm down to spend every minute that
I can to her limit's
'Cause usually she down to kick it
Until she get tired of niggas
Music's our common interest
We ramblin' about Kendrick and Kid Cudi
I'm tryna put her onto shit that she missin'
But she had everything
I mean everything I was listing
So I even gave her my tapes in
Hope she would try to listen
Thе kind of bond where it get hard
Not to fall in your feelings
But shе talkin' 'bout friendship (What?)
A similar commute
We on the same side of town
And her school close to my campus
So when I get off the bus, it's fuck it
I'm 'bout to go down there
I've always struggled to converse if
It wasn't a verse
Social anxiety, it got me stumblin' on words
But, I always speak my mind and
Shit when I'm with her (yeah)

Yeah, uh
Corner store to the porch with my new thing
Yeah, a new thing, yeah, uh, yeah
We'll get lost in the world like we wanted
Hey, you know me, ayy, yeah
Uh, corner store
Can't afford shit but your chips
Hey, the choices, hey uh, uh
We don't gotta mature, we're just young kids
Ayy, so fuck it

I had everything I needed, everything
Yeah, I had everything I needed, everything

Yeah, my niggas that had each other
Back in a world against 'em
From a poverty stricken parable that
Our hearts had written
We come from fifty-cent bags of
Candy and penny pitchin'
It's like a wishin' well if we
Gave the concrete our wishes
We dreamt so loudly
We would wear it when the sun would slow up
On the grayest day
We on the train in our colorful clothin'
A childlike innocence
We cherished it and tried to hold it
We was either askin' 'bout performances
Or where the hoes was
My granny basement became the
Mecca like Eric Forman's
The cushion in my uncle couch fell out
But we still on it
Shit, if you ever need a place to stay
You can sleepover if not, it's back to CTA
I'll catch y'all in the mornin'
The Green Line dangerous, for us
It's just how we get home i wanted dreads
I put a brush down and I grabbed a comb
I can take you where it's rough
I mean the catacomb
All these bodies droppin'
Same blocks that we played tag
For some old shit, they wanted they payback
So we escape it all in
The booth with the playback
'Cause this the only place that we
Knew you were safe at

Yeah, uh
Corner store to the porch with my new thing
Yeah, a new thing, yeah, uh, yeah
We'll get lost in the world like we wanted
Hey, you know me, ayy, yeah
Uh, corner store
Can't afford shit but your chips
Hey, the choices, hey uh, uh
We don't gotta mature, we're just young kids
Ayy, so fuck it

I had everything I needed, everything
Yeah, I had everything I needed, everything
Said I had everything I needed, everything
'Cause, I had everyone I needed
