[Verse]
Baby, I'ma make a rack in my basement
Move around too much, no patience
Keep my head down, don't say shit

Wake up, new day, it's tainted
Fuck my face, I'll break it
Stomp me into pavement so I can stop complaining
Wish I was complacent, instead, I'm just so basic
Put me in the background
That's how they would make it
[Chorus]
The willow grows
Fall asleep but not alone
Guide my feet when I'm low
Watch my steps and where I go
Pain unbearable, fuck up in stereo
Sweet like caramel, I do terrible (4AM)
