[Verse 1]
You're up so high, you're playing my vibe
No casting your light, no casting your light
Held you up so high, you're playing my vibe
No casting your light, no casting your light
Fucking with the light, I can't make that vibe
You're so overripe, tryna steal my shine
Fuck your oversights, held you up so high
No casting your light, timing isn't right
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me, I'm busy
So needy, I'd rather sleep in late
You're so overripe
You're so clean, I'm dirty
Can't tame me, I'd rather sleep in late
You're so overripe
[Chorus]
Gaslight in the dark, I see what you are
I can see so far
A battery, I'm energy
Energy is not just to give you charge
You ride in the dark
A battery, you're draining me
You're so draining
(Draining)
(Drain-draining)
(Draining)
(Drain-draining)
[Verse 2]
Fucking with the light, I can't make that vibe
No casting your light, no casting your light
Strap me in so tight, tryna read my mind
Stop casting your light, no casting your light
You're wound up too tight, tryna steal my shine
You're so overripe, no casting your light
Held you up so high, you're playing my vibe
No casting your light, no casting your–
[Chorus]
Gaslight in the dark, I see what you are
I can see so far
A battery, I'm energy
Energy is not just to give you charge
You ride in the dark
A battery, you're draining me
You're so draining
[Bridge: Cupcakke]
Been had shit from the get-go, but I'm tryna get more
You know how this shit go
IPhone lit though, came from a flip phone
Money come then it get goin' (It go)
Love me for me, I'ma drink free
We are not we if we cannot agree (No)
This is why I draw the line like a capital T
Ain't trustin' nothin' what I hear and maybe half what I see
My brain drained from the pain
Come from the streets where they bang gang
Taking handouts is not my thing
Picture bein' so broke, you can't afford a frame
Let's get it
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me, I'm busy
So needy, I'd rather sleep in late
You're so overripe
You're so clean, I'm dirty
Can't tame me, I'd rather sleep in late
You're so overripe
[Chorus]
Gaslight in the dark, I see what you are
I can see so far (Held you up so high)
A battery, I'm energy (You're playing my vibe)
Energy is not just to give you charge
You ride in the dark (Fuck your oversights)
A battery, you're draining me (No casting your light)
Energy is not just to give you charge
You ride in the dark (No casting your light)
A battery, you're draining me
You're so overripe
