5AM in Boston is a play on the format of Drake singles like “4PM in Calabasas” and “5AM in Toronto” by Drake.
AnTone writes this freestyle-like song to a girl who plays on his feelings. He also explores his current position and hopes for the future.
[Verse 1: AnTone]
Birds chirping to a brand new day
Beautiful girl with a nice bouquet
She throwing my heart like a football
Girl, you want another foot tall?
I'm the pig who says "That's All Folks"
Girl, you thinking that I'm all jokes
I'm leaving the city today
Thought about you as I left [?]
Can't see you for a couple days
But you know this bread is something that I make
I say ILY, but I still try
To be man enough not to cry
Why am I so dizzy?
But then it hit me
That I need you. That I see you
[Chorus: AnTone]
When I see you, it's like I need you
You know I want you. I can't believe you
When I see you, it's like it means something
But now that I'm leaving, I guess it means nothing
Or does it? Hey. Hey. Hey
Or does it? Or, or, or does it?
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey
[Verse 2: AnTone]
Verse two, verse two, verse two, verse two
Jason told me I got a flight to catch
Esiri and I hit a rough patch
It's some shit I gotta solve on my own
At the same time, I feel pretty alone
I want someone who wants someone else
Songs telling me I should go and love myself
I can't be myself in my own damn skin
Need a bubblegum princess, no Finn
Win, get a hit song, then a hit record
I've only been anything but a homewrecker
I'm loyal, smart, and got my shit together
Well, at least I think I got my shit together
Got a Drake vibe as soon as I take off
Back to the city where it's low on the cost
But what I lose in money, I see in the stars
Cause no one can replace who I think you are
[Bridge: AnTone]
I think you need to be with me
Yeah girl
I know that it's risky
When I see you, it's like I need you
You know that I want you
I can't believe you
When I see you, it's like I need you
You know I want you
I can't believe you
When I see you, it's like I need you
You know I want you
I can't believe you
[Outro: AnTone]
I'm so done, man. But whatever, I'll still ride out to this beat
