Power Trip

[Intro]
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me up all night
Drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me open all night
She got me open all night
[Verse 1]
Okay, back when I was sleepin' in my mama's crib
Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed's crib
Payin' seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent?
Had a thing for you, even wrote the song 'Dreams' for you
'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
Childish shit, you know childish shit
Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Back home I'm grown now, and this city's my throne now
The same clubs that I used to get tossed out
Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
Old chicks cryin' 'cause they know that they lost out
But I'm still on you, still on you
My drink spill on me while I feel on you
[Hook]
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you,
And we are, we are, we are,
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are,
All I'm singin' is love songs
And we are, we are, we are,
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are,
And we are, we are, we are,
She got me,
[Verse 2]
Well this has got to be the longest crush ever
If I ever get to fuck, it'll be the longest bust ever
Love is a drug like the strongest stuff ever
But, fuck it, I'm on one - you feel me?
She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
Wifin' in the club and my homies gon' disown a nigga
Like - give me twenty dollars, dollars
That's stupid, how'd you get to college, college?
I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
Can't help but feel like I dropped the ball, cliché
I used to pop up on you at the mall each day
Typically, I kick game like East Bay
But you got a nigga freeze framed, yellin' "please play"
For Pete's sake, homie, get it together
Just fuck her one time and be through with forever
But,
[Hook]
[Outro]
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me up all night
Drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me open all night
She got me open all night
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me up all night
Drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me open all night
She got me open all night
