Approval

[Chorus]

I look inside your eyes, you want approval

I know it 'cause I felt that pain as well

The father's love escapes your grasp, it's brutal

Existence in your own personal hell

Now if I could, I'd give you what you're seeking

On top of that, I'd give you something more

We do so much talking without us speaking

I'm safer when you're around


[Post-Chorus]

I go up, up, up, up, up

I set you up, up, up, up, up

It's all a fantasy

I wanna see

What's up, up, up, up, up

I set you up, up, up, up, up

Mmm, mm

(I set you up)


[Verse]

Niggas wanna yap about colonialism

Post modernity mixed with class division

I wish I had more brains, wish I had more women

Any way to avert the way I'm feeling

I have decided

I've given my life

To filling the quiеt spaces with music

Decorated lifе

I just want a family

I can't take no wife

Can't be a husband, I got bad habits

I don't know if I'd be good at it


[Chorus]

I look inside your eyes, you want approval

Ooh

I know it 'cause I felt that pain as well

The father's love escapes your grasp, it's brutal

Existence in your own personal hell

Now if I could, I'd give you what you're seeking

On top of that, I'd give you something more

We do so much talking without us speaking

I'm safer when you're around


[Post-Chorus]

I go up, up, up, up, up

I set you up, up, up, up, up

It's all a fantasy

I wanna see

What's up, up, up, up, up

I set you up, up, up, up, up

Mmm, mm

(I set you up)
