Yeah, yeah

The world is so small 'til it ain't, yeah

I'm building up a wall 'til it break

She hate it when I call and it's late

I don't wanna keep you waitin'

I hope I never keep you waitin', yeah

I think I know it all but I don't

Why you always at the mall when you broke? Yeah

And I just wanna ball

Maybe dunk but I've never been tall, yeah

I might trip, I never fall

God knows I came close (don't try this at home)

I know I probably need to do better, fuck whoever

Keep my shit together

You never told me being rich was so lonely

Nobody know me, oh well

Hard to complain from this five-star hotel

I'm always in a rush

I've been thinking too much but

Keep it on the hush, no one need to know, just us

That's really all it takes

We don't need nothing but today (day), today (day)

Today (day), today (day)

The world is so small 'til it ain't

('Til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't)

I'm building up a wall 'til it break

('Til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break)

She hate it when I call and it's late

(And it's late, and it's late)

I don't wanna keep you waitin' (I don't wanna keep you waitin')

I hope I never keep you waitin' (I hope I never keep you waitin')

Woo (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, got a bad attitude, playin' 'til I'm out of moves

No need for shame, I get more peace at slow speeds

Go beat the game, young control freak

It's cold in my veins, I'm below freezing

Snow season (made me)

They know that I so need my space

Don't wanna grow old, so I smoke just in case

She say that I glow below the waist

And a stroke is just so PGA

All I got is a little bit of space and time

Drawing shapes and lines of the world we made

Tomorrow may be right around the corner

But I swear it's gon' be worth it if I make you wait

There's somewhere above, you keep reaching up

That's really all it takes (that's really all it takes)

We don't need nothing but today (day), today (day)

Today (day), today (day)

The world is so small 'til it ain't

('Til it ain't, 'til it ain't, 'til it ain't)

I'm building up a wall 'til it break

('Til it break, 'til it break, 'til it break)

She hate it when I call and it's late

(And it's late, and it's late)

I don't wanna keep you waitin' (I don't wanna keep you waitin')

I hope I never keep you waitin'

Yeah, nine times out of ten, I get it wrong

That's why I wrote this song, told myself to hold on

I can feel my fingers slippin'

In a motherfuckin' instant, I'll be gone

Do you want it all if it's all mediocre?

Starin' at the wall and the wall's full of posters

Lookin' at my dreams, who I wanna be

I guess you gotta see it to believe

Ooh, I been a fool but that's cool

That's what human beings do

Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes

Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed

But the sun comin' out now, clouds start to move

Don't tell me nothin' but the truth

I'm tired, I don't gotta spare a second

Win or lose, win or lose

I don't keep count, nobody checking
