FACEREALITY [Breakadawn 🧇MIX]
[Intro]
Yeah, one-two, a-one-two
Yeah, yeah
Wafflejax, yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (Hah!)
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, look

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I been fuckin' up a lot, I'm tryna clean the act
Livin' my life too personal, need to sit, relax
Bustin' my chops, but for what? Cut the kid some slack
Mama know I'm workin' hella hard for the golden plaques and all the fuckin' platinum
Bustin' a honey, I slick my Johnny with the magnum
Present in my pillowcase in case I gotta tag 'em
While he on a business trip, then I get to clappin'
On his baby mama, Wafflejax gеt to snappin'
Like the two fingers on thе clitoris tappin'
None of you Mickey motherfuckers stealin' my magic
'Cause I get to swaggin'
Flowin' fantastic, I'm Mr. Boombastic
Showcase my talent for chances to put my fam right on
Then I saw, reality, mistakes and fraud
Cruisin' Miami in the Maybach, couple years I'll boss
I'm tryna build an investment, put my own grandkids on
[Hook]
I really started with nothing, just ideas and a bright mind
Knew I was destined for greatness, just at the right time
Been depressed, felt the stress of the world, uh
One of a kind, look at the flako with the curls
Showin' you
A weird motherfucker with all these issues
Amounted up to somethin', he gonna continue to fight
'Cause I can't wait too long
I gotta get it, recording until the breakadawn

[Verse 2]
No, I can't wait too long to build my character stronger
Hop up on the phone with my auntie up in Georgia
Was tellin' her my situation
Everything that I experienced, self evaluation
A deeper realization that I'm so one of a kind, sometimes I'll be complacent
I'm deep inside of mind now, I've become adjacent
Chasin' the legacy, buddy, money forever waitin'
I really got in my bag, was never good at datin'

[Bridge]
(Nah nah nah nah, nah-nah nah)
Was never good at datin'
(Nah nah nah nah, nah-nah)
I'm tryna be patient
(Nah nah nah nah, nah-nah nah)
Smokin', I'm Easy-Bakin'
(Nah nah nah nah, nah-nah)
[Verse 3]
Had to stop all the complainin', I'ma come out and just say it
If you gave me the bait, I'd probably grab it and take it
But I can't do that to you, you had enough of me
She know the love was too real, but she been done with me
Now I'ma go, I'ma get so rich talkin' about my life
Lookin' outside this fuckin' castle, yet I sit and sigh
'Cause money can't buy happiness, just temporarily, why
I never healed from my past, I burned a lot of my ties
Our souls forever connected, that shit never gon' die
I did a lot of affectin', it made you cry sometimes
Just know I mean when I say it, that I'll love you forever
But it's my time to move on, my movie needs they director

[Hook]
Yeah, I started with nothing, just ideas and a bright mind
Knew I was destined for greatness, just at the right time
Been depressed, felt the stress of the world, uh
One of a kind, look at the flako with the curls
Showin' you
A weird motherfucker with all these issues
Amounted up to somethin', he gonna continue to fight
'Cause I can't wait too long
I gotta get it, recording until the breakadawn (Yeah)
