[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon]
I can't do what you ask of me
I’m too scared to be afraid
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun

[Verse 1: Rich Brian & Joji]
All the things that I tell myself
Make it sound worse than how it really goes
When I've cancelled Ubers so many times
That I made apology videos
I'm in this shit for eternities
Lil’ bitch, what are you in it for?
Just stand right by the spotlight
'Cause I know you wanna be in it more
I pull up in a red Corvette
'Bout to get suit up, ready for more sex
Look in that toilet, that's what you're full of
It ain't no contest, but you're still losin'
2017, all those memories
Remind me to fuck my enemies
You not that important for me
To waste more of my good energies

[Refrain: Rich Brian]
I cannot fuck with these hoes
They don’t care about me

[Chorus: Joji & Bēkon, Rich Brian]
I can’t do what you ask of me (Nah, I can't)
I’m too scared to be afraid (I'm fucking terrified)
Afraid of what I have become
A statue alone in the dark, hiding out from the sun

[Verse 2: Rich Brian]
Part of me wants to be better
Just like all my heroes that I never met
But I think I'll just settle now
Settle now, yeah
And part of me wants to be good
But part of me wants to go outside and fuck these hoes (Heh-heh)
These silly hoes
'Cause it’s after midnight
And you're standin' there in the spotlight
Watchin' your body kill all my dreams
'Cause I'm stayin' home when I should be free
Where does the time go when you're fuckin' me?
Oh, where does the time go when you're fuckin' me?
Oh, where does the time go?

[Bridge: Joji]
Can you find me here in love?
Can you find me here in love?

[Refrain: Rich Brian]
Ooh, I cannot fuck with these hoes
They don't care about me

[Outro: Joji]
You can't be what you're not bein'
You can't see what you can't see
If you need somethin' to believe in
You can go believe in me
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can (Ooh)
So catch me if you can
So catch me if you can (Ooh)

Brian “Rich Brian” Imanuel is an Indonesian producer, rapper, singer-songwriter, and web comedian. He was born in 1999 and reached internet fame at the age of 16 after he released a music video called “Dat $tick” in February 2016, then going by ‘Rich Chigga’ before changing his stage name in early 2018.

Shortly after the success of his first music video, Imanuel signed onto CXSHXNLY (then re-named as 88rising), the Asian-centric music collective responsible for managing notable Asian rappers such as Dumbfounddead and Keith Ape. The move signaled a serious dedication to music by Imanuel amongst beliefs that his original music video had been created as a joke.

In 2018, he dropped the stage name Rich Chigga, which was seen by some to be racist, and began to go by Rich Brian. In an interview with The New Yorker, he expressed regret that he had chosen a “corny” stage name. His debut project, Amen, was released February 2nd of 2018, and a year later, on July 26th, 2019, he released his first studio album, The Sailor
