Pouya & Rocci
Frequently referred to as the “seven-minute song,” this collaboration illustrates heartbreak and the invaluableness of time. Throughout the track, Pouya seemingly alludes to his breakup with model and entrepreneur Baby Coco in July, 2019. The release of the song interestingly coincided with the anno...
[Part I]
[Verse 1: Rocci]
I take it back
I reacted with my heart
I wanna be there
With you in the back of my car
You can't play with me for long
I was such a fool hanging on
You smell just like his cologne
The cheapest thrills keep you going
[Verse 2: Pouya]
I don't know where you stand with me
But I know I can't stand to be without you
Can't remember what it was like before
Gave you everything you wanted, what you cryin' for?
I wanna get away, either from you or with you
I can't make decisions, don't listen to my gut
When it's tellin' me to run from everything that I love
'Cause everything that I loved fucked me up
Eye for an eye, gettin' high to get by
Gettin' hurt, wanna die, never said your goodbyes
Thought I was a good guy, now throw me to the side
I guess you left my life a mess and dead inside
Every start has an end, every star fades away
When I see you walk away from a better yesterday
Today I bleed, by tomorrow I'm dead
Keep that .40 pointed at my head
[Part II]
[Chorus: Rocci]
You've been runnin' through my head
I'd be lyin' if I said I don't need you
Runnin' through my head
I'd be lyin' if I said I don't need you
[Verse: Pouya]
I fall in love every day of the week
Knee deep until my knees feel weak
Used to be the one to rock me to sleep and now we don't speak
I fall in love every other fuckin' day of the week
I hate eatin' alone, I'm never leavin' my home
Another bitch on my phone tellin' me that she gone
Go 'head and fuck another man, I guess I'll make another plan
I'm stuck with all these rubber bands and not a woman to understand, yuh
[Chorus: Rocci & Pouya]
You've been runnin' through my head
I'd be lyin' if I said I don't need you
Runnin' through my head
I'd be lyin' if I said I don't need you (Shit)
[Part III]
[Segue: Rocci]
Candy, apple lips (She got that case)
On my lady
Hard times, cash on the floor (Oh)
For you lately
Oh God, here I go
It's been comin'
Got to push forward
You know, you know
[Verse: Pouya]
Let me get my time back
You do me wrong, I'ma do you right back
Yeah, bitch, I'm like that, let me get my sight back
'Cause right now I'm blinded by the way you say my name
By the way, I was in love like right away
Ready for I do's and new days, yuh
Let me get my mind back
Let me get that knife out my back, yuh
Let me get my cash back and my whips back
And that brand new bag back
Soulmates don't live my way, yuh
Hold hands and walk away from me to live another day, yuh
[Bridge: Rocci]
Holding on to watch your own
When I'm at home
You've been out playin'
Holding on to watch your own
When I'm at home
You've been out playin'
(You've been out playin')
[Outro: Pouya]
I know we both have obligations
Your sensations for going out override any of those I may have looked
And your dress is too short for comfort
But before I end it all right here
Just a couple of things I didn't get the chance to communicate
You don't know what you got until it's gone, that's the realest cliché that I ever heard
And to be honest, nothing is promised and nothing is fair and that makes me sick to my stomach, wishin' it was
Time is the only thing that really expires
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time is the only thing that really expires)
(Time—)
life? ... lol was produced by Rocci.
Pouya & Rocci released life? ... lol on Wed Nov 20 2019.
A day prior to release, Pouya posted a video to Instagram with the caption:
I will be releasing a seven-minute and twelve-second song tonight that I created with the help of my friend Rocci. The most important song I have ever been apart of and I strongly believe it’s the best song I’ve ever made....
Yes – Rocci has previously worked with Pouya on his third studio album, The South Got Something to Say, by co-producing it with Florida producer Mikey the Magician. However, Rocci’s vocals were only featured on two tracks off the album; “Mood Swing Misery” and “Run It Down,” making “life? … lol” his...
In a March 2020 interview with 16BARS, Pouya explained how recording the track led him and Rocci to purchase congas:
One of the best sessions I’ve ever had was with my friend Rocci recently. We made a seven-minute and twelve-second song that’s called ‘life? … lol.’ […] We were just it in my room, s...
