[Verse 1: Jean Dawson]
Sittin' at the end of the road
Never hear what I'm told
It's like I got everyone watchin' me
No one watchin' me go
I don't need anything from no one, I never felt lonesome
I find my hope inside my smoke, my eyes turn red like
Devilish on a Sunday
Drivin' fast down a one-way
Lean on me, I'm a hot boy
100 degrees, kill a opp boy
I don't need no smoke
Bitch, I am the smoke, give me space
I don't show my face
I don't smoke with folk, run my fade
I don't run away
From my problems, they got debt to pay
I ain't been afraid
Bitch, I lived afraid, so what's my name?
[Chorus: Jean Dawson]
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin' pray
I don't hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin' name
Boy, don't say my motherfuckin' name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin' pray
I don't hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin' name
Boy, don't say my motherfuckin' name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
[Verse 2: Jean Dawson]
That's what you want
We from the mud, buck if you dyin' for us
Stare at the sun (Sun)
The loneliest one (Yeah) be makin' the flowers grow
Stomp on the garden
Know what you started (Started)
Started a fire, started a riot
I was not invited
Nothin' but violence, nothin' but sirens
Moment of silence
Make me decide it in my head
They ain't tryna play with me
[Chorus: Jean Dawson]
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin' pray
I don't hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin' name
Boy, don't say my motherfuckin' name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin' pray
I don't hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin' name
Boy, don't say my motherfuckin' name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more but we all great
[Break: Jean Dawson]
(Great)
[Outro: Mac DeMarco]
Jean, it's Mac D
Just droppin' your line today to remind you
That you should take it easy on yourself
Enjoy what you're doing
And if you stop enjoying it at some point, hey, no problem
Don't do it anymore
God bless ya, love ya, ciao
