[Chorus]
N-now th-th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man, I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now
[Verse 1]
Let's get lost tonight
You can be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a damn what they all say, right?
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask, 'cause I'm not sure
Anybody out there real anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
'Cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fakeness
So go ahead, go nuts, go apish
Especially in my pastel, and my bapeness
Act like you can't tell who made this
New gospel, homie, take six, and take this, haters
[Chorus]
N-now th-th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man, I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now
[Verse 2]
I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in your plans or not
I'm trippin', this drink got me sayin' a lot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me?
There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gon' do everything that Jay'll like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And we'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Baby you're makin' it
Harder, better, faster, stronger
[Chorus]
N-now th-th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man, I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now
I need you right now
I need you right now
[Post-Chorus]
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
Don't act like I've never told you
N-now th-th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'Cause I can't get much wronger
Man, I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya
I need you right now
I need you right now
