MANIA

Lyrics

[All I Know]

The reasons I can't have you

Are so easy to fix

I didn't really plan to

But I'ma do it for this

The reasons I can't have you

Isn't so complicated

Baby if you let me, I won't hesitate

All I know

All I know, all I know, all I know

All I know Is this

All I know, all I know, all I know

[Sidewalks]

I ran out of tears when I was 18

So nobody made me but the main streets

'Cause too many people think they made me

Well if they really made me then replace me

Homeless to Forbes List, these niggas bring no stress

I feel like Moses, I feel like I'm chosen

And if you ain't my nigga then your girl single to me

I don't give a damn if a nigga said he knew me

Grew up with no father so nobody ever "son" me

My flow too sick, Kevin Costner couldn't touch me

I know you wish that nobody ever love me

I feel useless when I'm never making money

Well, this the life we always fantasized

Rich folk problem through a Queens Street nigga's eyes

Every time you see me pulling up in Aventadors

Just know we been grinding on them sidewalks

Sidewalks in my life

They don't ever lie

Sidewalks in my life

They show me all the signs

They don't let me down

[Secrets]

Everybody here wants you

My love, my love

And I know that you want him too

My love, my love

I ask you what your heart desires

My love, my love

You tell me I'm the only one

My love, my love

It's a lie, a lie

I catch you every time

In your lust, your lust

Every time you close your eyes

I hear the secrets that you keep

When you're talkin' in your sleep

I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep

When you're talk, talkin', talkin'

I hear the secrets that you keep

When you're talkin' in your sleep

I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep

When you're talk, talkin', talkin'

[Die for You]

I'm findin' ways to articulate

The feeling I'm goin' through

I just can't say I don't love you

'Cause I love you, yeah

It's hard for me to communicate the thoughts that I hold

But tonight I'm gon' let you know

Let me tell the truth

Baby let me tell the truth, yeah

You know what I'm thinkin'

See it in your eyes

You hate that you want me

Hate it when you cry

You're scared to be lonely

'Specially in the night

I'm scared that I'll miss you

Happens every time

I don't know this feelin'

I can't afford love

I try to find reason to pull us apart

It ain't workin' 'cause you're perfect

And I know that you're worth it

I can't walk away, oh!

Make you feel alive again

Make you feel alive again

I would die for you

Baby I would die for you, yeah

Make you feel alive again

Make you feel alive again

I would die for you

Baby I would die for you, yeah

[Party Monster]

I'm good, I'm good, I'm great

Know it's been a while, now I'm mixing up the drink

I just need a girl who gon' really understand

I just need a girl who gon' really understand

I'm good, I'm good, I'm great

Know it's been a while, now I'm mixing up the drink

I just need a girl who gon' really understand

I just need a girl who gon' really understand

And I've seen her get richer on the pole

I've seen her, I knew she had to know

I've seen her take down that tequila

Down by the liter, I knew I had to meet her

Ooh, she mine, ooh girl, bump and grind

Ooh, she mine, ooh girl, bump a line

Angelina, lips like Angelina

Like Selena, ass shaped like Selena

I'm like, got up, thank the Lord for the day

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name

(Woke up, woke up by a girl

I don't even know her name)

Got up, thank the Lord for the day

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name

(Woke up, woke up by a girl

I don't even know her name)

Paranoid (paranoid)

Paranoid (p-paranoid)

Paranoid (p-paranoid)

But I see something in you (you're paranoid)

Paranoid (paranoid)

Paranoid (p-paranoid)

Paranoid (p-paranoid)

But I see something in you

(I see something in you)

(Got up, thank the Lord for the day)

(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)

(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)

(Woke up, woke up by a girl

I don't even know her name)

(Got up, thank the Lord for the day)

(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)

(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)

(Woke up, woke up by a girl

I don't even know her name)

You're paranoid

Yeah, uh

I feel it coming

Tell me what you really like

Baby, I can take my time

We don't ever have to fight

Just take it step-by-step

I can see it in your eyes

'Cause they never tell me lies

I can feel that body shake

And the heat between your legs

You've been scared of love and what it did to you

You don't have to run, I know what you've been through

Just a simple touch and it can set you free

We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

You are not the single type

So baby, this the perfect time

I'm just tryna get you high

And faded off this touch

You don't need a lonely night

So baby, I can make it right

You just got to let me try

To give you what you want

You've been scared of love and what it did to you

You don't have to run, I know what you've been through

Just a simple touch and it can set you free

We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

Hey! You've been scared of love and what it did to you

You don't have to run, I know what you've been through

Just a simple touch and it can set you free

We don't have to rush when you're alone with me

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I know what you feel right now

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe

I know what you say right now, babe

I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
