[Intro]
To a lonely boy, Tell
[Verse 1]
Uh, life in the West
Scrolling through Insta, daily reminders we blessed
I mean, sure we got our problems
But the pictures that be popping up from back home
Minimize but elevate the stress, no
I'm just the son of a nation that will never fall
I′m the grandson of immigrants that saw it all
They talk about us online but we know who we are
And I got very few friends that know who they are
800 people at the show but I want you only
She's said لاقي واحدة تانية but babе, I want you on me
Road life is getting lonеly, I won't let anything slow me
I need a woman to hold me down when the spotlight is gone
Will you be here tomorrow?
J'te veux pour moi et que pour moi
'Cause I know what you want
وأه بتذكر لما كانوا يحكوا عني بالعقل
بس ما بتأثر، أنا شغلة ما شوفتوها من قبل
A hundred thousand dollar checks they pay me to be me now
You think I give a fuck about some tweets now?
I'm just glad I gave you something to talk about with your boys
'Cause you're just bored and unemployed, huh?
Talk of the town, talk of the town
Now you gotta go through marek to talk to me now
My grandma's Alzheimer's tone down, we playin' piano
Pick up the saxophone again and I'm hittin' soprano
A young Freddie Mercury mixed with some Marlon Brando
A light pink suit on me, I swear it's on brand though
And I'm still in command though, I got a lot of ammo
Talk about me all you want, I bet your girl a fan though
Refugees with the privilege to dream
Come to the city and meet the team
Refugees with the privilege to dream
The boy is a money-makin' machine now
[Chorus]
Tell me I'm dreaming
There's nothing we all have left to leave
Nothing we all have left to leave
I give so much joy to a lonely boy
Tell me I'm dreaming
[Post-Chorus]
Don't know if I'm dreaming or it's real life, baby
Don't know if I'm dreaming or it's real life, baby
Told me you could meet me on the west side
And I'm slashing for the women but I can't lie
[Verse 2]
I think that you should cancel all your plans and come see me
Even if I hurt you, don't need me
We are not the same, you can't feel me
She told me, "Y a quelqu'chose dans ta voix qui m'plaît"
Okay, y a quelqu'chose dans ma voix qui plaît, c'est fait
I'm coast to coast and I die
You talk about me, I laugh
You been all on your ah, ah
And I've been all in my bag
The last time that I saw you, I didn't know what I had
But now wherever I travel, man, I swear I'm bringing my dad
[Outro]
You told me you could meet me on the west side
It's a 20-hour ferry, put a spin time
Bébé, on fait pas l'amour que dans mes rêves
Même si je vois les mots de travers dans tes cernes, I'll be waiting
But you don't know
'Cause I like it when you don't know
Yeah, I met you out in Saudi but I'll see you in LA
Pick up the phone 'cause I'm in London for the bed
