MILES Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you call it when I'm winning?
Need to find some other words for how I spin it
Make 'em lean in when I'm speakin'
Turn my back, it make 'em mad, it's not my business
You wanna get what you want when you want it?
Well, you should go to old country
'Cause in the old country
You could make me tap dance, shake hands, yes ma'am
But I'm a free man now and

[Pre-Chorus]
I do
What I do
Not for you
Not for you (Not for you)

[Chorus]
I gave you the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It's a cake, oh, it's a breeze
You can't fake the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It's a cake, oh, it's a breeze, hey

[Verse 2]
Don't call me legend 'til I kick the bucket
Never could define me, so fuck it
I shed sounds like snakeskin, style like chameleon
Wanna cage me
But you can find me in the garden
Growin' like a weed
Oh, it's a curse, but

[Pre-Chorus]
I do
What I do
Not for you
Not for you (Not for you)

[Chorus]
I gave you the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It's a cake, oh, it's a breeze
You can't fake the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It's a cake, oh, it's a breeze, hey

[Bridge]
Shut up, motherfucker
I don't take requests
Blessed be my lovers
I'm not like the rest
I'm bad like my mother
So don't disrespect
There'll never be another
I'm better than your best

[Outro]
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better than your—

This feels more like a character study than other tracks on the album, like you’re stepping into the shoes of Miles Davis.

“Miles” felt like a persona poem, where you learn about the author through the lens that they choose to take. I used to love writing persona poems; I once wrote one from the vo...
