[Intro]
Haha (Nitrose)
This a sick one, yeah
New York City, the city of dreams
Yeah, uh, yeah
[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Staying up, they're like, "What do you got against sleep?"
Playing Donnis first tape, presented by 10.Deep
Spending money like, "Fuck it," because I ain't cheap
Look, when you go away, it ain't shit that you can keep
Feel like fuck it, we partying, going mad dumb
Up&Down, all these Soho girls wanna have fun
Life is easy when all you doing is taking photos
She got a couple of scars, but she don't like to show those
Her agent books her a cover and everything is great
I can't recall where I met her, a simple twist of fate
She ain't used to all-nighters, so she thinks 6 is late
The sun is up and these demons still tryna pass a plate
Couple drugs in my system, faded, my vision is blurry
Phone on one percent, I called an Uber quick in a hurry
Die, fuck it, I'm here, now my phone is dead
I'm fucked up, I know I should go to bed, but fuck it
[Chorus: G-Eazy]
We don't never really sleep, I'm still up now
Dodging raindrops, tryna duck clouds
I don't fuck with people, I don't like crowds
It's my world and I don't give a fuck now, yeah
Got me thinking 'bout my life
If I could do it all again, I'd do it twice
If I could do it all again, Lord, forgive me for my sins
This city never sleeps under bright lights, yeah
[Verse 2: Dex Lauper]
Can't believe my brother died outside of grandma house
He just took a bullet to the brain, now I'm standing under a cloud
No one ever gonna give a fuck about you now
That's why I ride around with a stain and there ain't no looking down
As a youngin, the devil pulled up and mama gave him my soul
When you try and buy your masters back, and then your death's the goal
But how you gon' tell me about this life when you ain't got your soul?
Drug you up like a puppet, and then they go and take control
I lost my brother, had to go 'head and look at my life
If I regret it or I'm just go'n 'head and just get that ice
If I'm in Inglewood, then I'm just with my blooda Ice
I'm on a time where I might just go ahead and risk my life
See all them times when you do wrong, know you gon' pay the price
I swear that karma the biggest bitch I met up in my life
In this industry, that's all they know is sacrifice
They tried to go tell me they just wanna take my life
[Chorus: G-Eazy]
We don't never really sleep, I'm still up now
Dodging raindrops, tryna duck clouds
I don't fuck with people, I don't like crowds
It's my world and I don't give a fuck now, yeah
Got me thinking 'bout my life
If I could do it all again, I'd do it twice
If I could do it all again, Lord, forgive me for my sins
This city never sleeps under bright lights, yeah
