Mbye dedicated MANG FI to loved ones including his late cousin and fellow immigrant Abdoulaye Nene Cisse. The opening track, “WEB(si)+e,” was inspired by mournful, reminiscent visits to Cisse’s Facebook page after his death. “Wide awake on your bedside, wide awake on your website,” Mbye sings. “Talk...
[Chorus]
Wide awake, on your bedside
Wide awake, on your website
Talk to me one more time
Tell me something right
Wide awake, on your bedside
Wide awake, on your website
Talk to me one more time
Tell me something right
[Verse 1]
And she's under the bed with the monsters
Yeah, she's under the bed with the monstеrs
And I'm under the pressurе, I'm honest
I can't take what you gave 'cause I lost it
And she's under the bed with the monsters
Yeah, she's under the bed with the monsters
What you saying? You're off of your rocker
Couldn't take what you gave if your offered
[Verse 2]
Lost it, no talking now
Crossing the line through my nostril
I'm off four pints of oil
You can't stop me now, you can't stop me
You don't like me now, you can't like me now
You can't bite me now, you can't bite the bullet
You don't like me now, you can't like me
You can't fight the bull, you can't fight the bull
[Chorus]
Wide awake, on your bedside
Wide awake, on your website
Talk to me one more time
Tell me something right
Wide awake, on your bedside
Wide awake, on your website
Talk to me one more time
Tell me something right
[Post-Chorus]
Throw nights away
Days pass me by like traffic
A lights away from, a lights away from you
We'll fight now you're gone out the door, it's magic
Come back inside
[Bridge]
I need a margarita
I need a paid vacay
I need another day with you
Guess I'll see you on the other side
[Verse 3]
I keep it a hundred, I had fifty days
Like an iffy waitress, I been whippin' plates
In the kitchen timid, anxious
I could feel the phases
Bitch, I feel amazing
Eyes wide shut, she tap me out
And I'm still wide awake, bitch
Had the light of day on me
Had the light of day on me
I'm still wide awake
Grab my cellular, yeya told me that shit not a brain
Pull me in, can't hold me closer 'cause shit I would say
[Outro]
You're so selfish, I can't help it
You're so selfish, I can't help it
Hot like sun with the ice, I'm melting
Hot like sun with the ice, I'm melting
You're so selfish, I can't help it
You're so selfish, I can't, I-I
Hot like sun with the ice, I'm melting
Hot like sun with the ice, I'm melting
