2020

And they tell me
“Don’t worry,
These things take time
There’s no hurry
Everybody here
'Trynna hide some type of pain
Dollar bills double up as band aids
Baby” uh uh uh

2020
Rockin’ up to the high hills
Tripping up on the gravel in my high heels
Friend of a friend of a friend
Just hit the 5 mils
I take a sip of cheap liquor
To calm my chills

White Marble,
Black slate
Everything sparklin’
Hand carved and hand made
Models on the balustrade
Posing like statues on ivory towers

Don’t know what to think
Forgot how to drink
(Overthinking everything)
Diamond tigers on the fireplace
Did I mention, I feel outta place

And they tell me
“Don’t worry,
These things take time
There’s no hurry
Everybody here
'Trynna hide some type of pain
Dollar bills double up as band aids
Baby” uh uh uh

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
Is there anywhere
Open late in L.A
Where I can buy something
To take away the pain
Of existing in the world of today

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
Is there anywhere
Open late in L.A
Where I can buy something
To take away the pain
Of existing in the world of today

Nouveau riche renaissance
Now I want in
Left my morals at the door when I walked in

Now I’ve got everything that I wanted
I’m still a prisoner but my walls look expensive

I see a girl in the crowd
Reminds me of me when I came to this town
There’s hope and there’s fear in her eyes
I tell her come over
“I’ll tell you no lies”

I know what you think,
But don’t overdrink
(remember what they told you girl)
Be careful with each step you take
This marble floor can seal your fate

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
Is there anywhere
Open late in L.A
Where I can buy something
To take away the pain
Of existing in the world of today

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
Is there anywhere
Open late in L.A
Where I can buy something
To take away the pain
Of existing in the world of today

Drowning daddy issues in champagne tears
And you haven’t seen your mother in 15 years
Sea view from the balcony
This neighbourhood is blue
No amount of anything can fake away the truth

So babygirl now don’t you worry
I’m gonna teach you what they taught me
Everybody here 'trynna hide some type of pain
Dollar bills double up as band aids baby

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
Is there anywhere
Open late in L.A
Where I can buy something
To take away the pain
Of existing in the world of today

If they sold you a dream
How come at night you don’t sleep
In the darkest times
Turn the lights on
Turn the lights on honey
Open your eyes to the way you’re living
