[Verse 1]
What's the price to be cool ma'?
I apologize for this phone call
I can't stick it out this credit's been paying me no bonds
I've gotten heavy but my lighter got me so gone
Making bad decisions over these good girls
Baby making good love to all of these bad ones
Lately, I think I'm on the run
These shoes ain't coming off
Don't even try to catch me 'cause I'm done falling in love
I never really sleep much
I guess the dream is the only way for me just to keep up
Top down in the winter, leather on the seats, no
Push 120 on the dash and in my jean holes
Tell me what you wouldn't do for a quick dollar
Tell me what you wouldn't do if money was no problem
Hey baby, maybe I can find a way in fact
Hey baby, maybe I could do a thing like that
[Chorus]
I think you love it when I break down
It makes you feel, it made me feel
Like my life is going way up, way up
Like my life is going, the way my life been going
Think I'm the baddest, ooh
And you fucked up
Went from no credit, oh-oh, yeah
To making your favorite love song, yeah
'Cause my life is going way up, way up
I think my life is going, the way my life been going
I think my life is going way up, way up
The way my life is going, the way my life been going
[Verse 2]
So what to provide baby, I got my katana
It ain't nothing to cut ties, my suit is too honest
Couple buttons been undone, my shoes is Armanis
And I ain't got no worries baby, they ain't got nothing on me
I mean I'm kinda like nervous, never been here before
But nowadays I'm not white, they feeling my soul
Like I'm worth it? I guess that I should work it
The black and white verses, I just write until I surface
Put her face down on the table we're about to ease it up
That winters coming, eat it up, I'm ready
If you been down, let's hit it
That door feels so open, it's like the draft finally set in
Like first pick, I'll take it, I mean it's Thursday, and it's seven
And it's cold out, like bittersweet, that, uh, tastes like heaven
And I just got that, ooh, been for real
Like way past my curfew, way past that daylight
My night light stay working, so when day comes I'm worth it, baby
[Chorus]
I think you love it when I break down
It makes you feel, it made me feel
Like my life is going way up, way up
Like my life is going, the way my life been going
Think I'm the baddest, ooh
And you fucked up
Went from no credit, oh-oh, yeah
To making your favorite love song, yeah
'Cause my life is going way up, way up
I think my life is going, the way my life been going
I think my life is going way up, way up
The way my life is going, the way my life been going
[Background]
The way my life is going
The way my life is going
Think it's going way up
[Chorus]
I think you love it when I break down
It makes you feel, it made me feel
Like my life is going way up, way up
Like my life is going, the way my life been going
Think I'm the baddest, ooh
And you fucked up
Went from no credit, oh-oh, yeah
To making your favorite love song, yeah
'Cause my life is going way up, way up
I think my life is going, the way my life been going
I think my life is going way up, way up
The way my life is going, the way my life been going
