[Intro]
Woah
One, two, three, four
Woah
Haha
Oh na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na

[Verse 1]
I trade the whip out for a bike, uh
Designer for some Nikes
Switch the stripper for a wife
Black tie for a white tee, uh
I've been moving lightspeed, lightspeed, lightspeed, lightspeed
Lightspeed, lightspeed, lightspeed, lightspeed

[Verse 2]
Look, I don't want to try
Keep it cool like iced tea
So if I seem shy
It's 'cause you seem so shiesty
Sellin' what you buy, buy, buy
Just a product of the 90's
If you close your eyes, uh
That's where you'll find me

[Chorus]
I'm the devil's advocate
You don't know the half of it
Good luck tryna manage it
If a God is a dog, and a man is a fraud, then I'm a lost cause

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
Twenty-two's on the ride (Ride)
Bring me back a five piece (Five)
Same ticket for the rent, yeah
But I split it with a dime piece, uh
Married to my friends
They don't always like me
I stay together for the kids, uh
I gotta do the right thing

[Chorus]
I'm the devil's advocate
You don't know the half of it
Good luck tryna manage it
If a God is a dog, and a man is a fraud, then I'm a lost cause

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
It ain't right for me
Is it right for you?
If you're missing me
There is one thing to do

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
