[Intro: Melo]
(Hey!)
I slipped and fell on the blackest ice
Was movin' at the speed of light
And still overseen, overlooked

[Chorus: Melo]
Fool me once can't fool me twice though
I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael
Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope
Learned to live life when there's something to die for

[Verse 1: Melo]
And now the reception say I'm seamless
Can't take no breaks 'til I see the Eiffel
Achieving achievements broke the seams and
The whole scene seen it, they sayin' aight folks
Passion dies (Passion dies)
Concept ideas before you sow
At the speed of light
Must plant your seeds before you grow

[Chorus: Melo]
Fool me once can't fool me twice though
I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael
Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope
Learned dah-dah-dah-dah
Blah-dah-blah-blah (Uh, uh)

[Verse 2: Melo]
This shit a ritual, made it habitual
As soon I'm collectin' residuals
This that original digital
My n***a Martin said send it up
But I need some love I don't get enough (AY)
I'm just a product of growin' up
Look how it ended up
(Uh, uh)
(Uh, uh)
I'm finna send it up
This is the individual, I'm not a cynic
A typical, damn near a medicinal
This for the dreamless, this for the ceaseless
This for the scene kids, all planting our seeds
This for the sleepless
This for my city I speak for the speechless
This for my city, departed friends, we miss
This for my city, my actions don't sneak diss
This for my city, my city, my city
Repeat this
[Verse 3: Taylor Bennett]
You could fool once
But you fooled me twice though
Who's loving you? Pretty young thing I know
I feel like fool when I call your iPhone
You fill my wounds with the moonlight light glows
Wounds what got bloom but I feel like Michael
Home in my zone, where the midnight lights slow
Ace of my spade, put my card I might fold
Call it payback but I know what I owe you
'Cause soon I'm consumed by my doom
We used to late nights, even later afternoons
Shakin' laying naked, now its vacant in my room
My patience breakin' achin' I been prayin' we resume
Not Jesus but I'm racing, walking lakes, and chasin moon
Forearms stationed, body angled where I'm layin' in this tomb
And my past like my preview, I could tell what's coming soon
'Cause even with no credits you could tell what I produce

[Verse 4: Melo]
And even with no bed I'm still ahead and on the move
(This shit a ritual)
Somethin' better coming soon
(Made it habitual)
Got a lot I need to prove
(And soon I'm collecting residuals)
And a lot for me to lose
My n***a Taylor just glowed him up (now set it off)
My n***a Martin said send it up (send it up send it up)
All night just working to set it up (AY)
Mr. Makes Music just having fun, look how it ended up
(Uh, Uh)
(Uh)
I'm finna send it up
This individual, I'm not a cynic atypical, damn near invincible
[Chorus: Melo]
Fool me once can't fool me twice though
I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael
Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope
Learned dah-dah-dah-dah

[Outro: Melo]
This for my city and this for the ceaseless
This for my city, I'll speak for the speechless
This for my city, and this for the scene kids
This for my city, my city, and this for the Sleepless
