You said this would be a good time (you havin’ a good time tonight ladies and gentlemen?)
I’m sure as hell feeling groovy (let me see your hands in the air!)
Is it gon’ be like this all night? (We going all night long)
Were these white walls always moving? (Get ‘em up!)
Started off hating every party that I went to, then noticed over time that I would slowly change my mental
Party beast inside me loosened up by the weekend, soon everyday I’m boozin’ up early in the evening
Stern in the beginning when we had our personal battles, shots were fired off then vices became our medals (Mamma!)
Everything illegal, I just want it in my system, but I was not the regal type yes I was lacking wisdom
Molly, brandy, tequila, can’t forget cocaína, seeing them was bad enough, but worse that I got to meet cha
Like mean girls from my high school, I always was the nice dude, later in life we hooked up, now I can’t live without you (girl!)
High that I received cannot compete with anything, money can’t cut it definitely not a diamond ring
I just want to wake and bake with no worries at all, lock me in a room with him and don’t bother to call.
You said this would be a good time
I’m sure as hell feeling groovy
Is it gon’ be like this all night?
Were these white walls always moving?
Let me tell you all about the time that I went swimming mentally and spiritually, let’s start at the beginning
I was two tabs deep on a beach in a country I was unfamiliar with, and I didn’t have no money (woops)
Starin’ at the sky, are the whales? Are they clouds? Are they whales? Are they clouds? Am I saying this out loud?
Then all of a sudden I’m speeding up and slowing down, and I turn around to find myself a mile out of town at a cross roads
Lost though, I hear “you all good bro?”
Yeah G, I’m chilling, just tripping fuckin’ balls though, where did all the walls go?
And why is there a small fox chillin’ in my pocket, then I’m off like a rocket, ‘cos I know just who has lost it
My boy back at home base, and he’ll be off his face, dancing round like swan lake
It’s going great till I get back to the door, and I realise I’m locked out with nobody to call
Sittin’ on the veranda, pebbles turning to pandas, senses deprivating more than I could ever imagine
So stuck inside this time loop, the bro’s back to uncoop me, and all he’s got to say is
“I’m sorry I took the room key”
You said this would be a good time (I’m always down for a good time)
I’m sure as hell feeling groovy (I’m always down for a good time)
Is it gon’ be like this all night? (but it’s been like four hours, how long does this shit last?)
Were these white walls always moving? (I’m always down for a good time)
