lyrics

[Intro]
Smile for me, aye aye
Smile for me, smile for me babe, aye (uh)
Woke up on-
Woke up on a Sunday, brush my teeth and then I bounce (smile for me, smile for me)
Woke up on a Sunday, brush my-

[Verse]
I woke up on a Sunday, brush my teeth and then I bounce (fuckin’ bounce)
Whip it over to my shawty picking her up from her house (skrrrt)
Look, iced vanilla latte, eggs and bacon and some chop (Yuh)
Life is good, ‘cause before she leave for work she lemme fuck (aye haha)
She gon’ help film a music vid in vacant parkin’ lots
Always say my shit is hard and it gon’ bang no matter what (aye)
That’s the typa girl I need and she be feet up in my passenger
You don’t fuck with people either, naturally we have to cut
Actin’ up, before we was together knew yous lacking trust (yeah)
Back it up, passin’ round our trauma through an acid drop (woah)
Even through the pain and through the weeks of endless rain
When I would medicate my brain right to the point where I’m deranged
A different substance every day, somehow you saw what I became
And didn’t wanna run away, Beauty and the Beast but faded
Astronaut like Matthew Damon, it’s like every time you page him
I be right back down to earth with every song you put in playlists
Of mine playin’ ‘cause like if they in rotation I know you’re not far away and
I can keep up hope that maybe you won’t ever wanna change me
‘Cause you know you couldn’t make me, but ain’t that what love is baby?
Everyday I make you hate me but you tolerate it crazy
How you do that without wanting me to die
In the end we’ll stay a while
Together walking crooked miles
Let my seed grow to a child (for real)
I’ll let you reassure me that we gonna be okay
I’ll be happy if I write a song that make my shawty smile
Smile for me

[Interlude]
When you find that someone
Who really cares about you
You should be proud of that someone
Who’s there for-

[Outro: outtake from Chick Corea interview with Cynthia Livingston]
Uh- uh- uh- uhh
As far as music itself goes, um, you know
The simplest thing to forget is that what music is about
And any kind of art form is about is, iss
I-I-I-I-I is creating the kind of things
That-that you think are beautiful
You have to be certain about what you like
Not what you think sounds good to someone else
Beautiful
