[Verse 1]

Yeah

I wish everything was perfect

And I wish I was deserving

Of everything that I ever wanted in my fucking life

But had never reached the surface

Now I steady stay searching

For a way to make you feel it when you heard this

Always thought I was a downright burden

Until I bought my speakers as an outright purchase

Now I got my chorded heater

In the middle of the summer, I’m recording features

Everybody hating is a hopeless sleeper

And everyone in my circle is a dope believer

Now, I had told my teachers

I would make em all proud

In my oldest sneakers

Put the pencil to the paper

And I wrote my dreams but

The only thing realistic is the gold retriever

I just hope I’m able

To see my twenties

Maybe my thirties

If the world will let me

Don’t you all forget me

They won’t come and get me

But I kinda wanna doubt it

Cause they shooting sentries

They don’t care how it goes

They destroying it all

Through surprise attacks

So how’s our country at fault

We've been staring at our phones

While they making a call

And now conspiracies are forming

Saying Trump is involved

Like, man what happened to the unity

One nation, one world, fuck a mutiny

Quit Jeffin’ in this bitch

Know my tribe is legit

I’m surviving this shit

Like I found hidden immunity

I know the truth

I don’t know what to do

I’m just making these songs

To keep pushing through

These rhymes I do

I don’t write haikus

I look up at the crescent moon

It’s the nighttime crew


[Pre-Chorus/Bridge]

It’s dark out

I’m working

This life has seen no purpose

No clock-outs

Still learning

Still, I might seem so nervous

That’s truthful

I’m faithful

You duck, I’ll pass

No thank you

Work harder

Done waiting

Success ain’t got no patience


[Chorus]

2 AM when I write mine

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

I ain’t ever been in my right mind

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

2 AM when I write mine

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

I ain’t ever been in my right mind

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime


[Verse 2]

2 AM when I write mine

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

Don't be coming at me with your light lines

Or I'mma have to Tindr swipe right through your lifeline

I don’t wanna hear no bullshit

Fuck off with all your excuses

Cut em off if they stupid

Swear to God, your only use is being useless

Wanna ball on through

See, I do what I do to get the contra soon

Get a mansion with my name in the largest room

This real, not fake, this is not cartoon

But we all get baked, that’s what artists do

Wanna compensate just to get far, soon

See, I love birthdays, get to pop balloons

And man, fuck the opportune if you falling through

Now you said you only wanna make mills

But I just wonder where it takes you

Gotta lie to my face so did time in my space

Man, the timing is great but I know that it ain’t true

And I don’t want no fake deals

And I don’t ever want no fake feels

I don’t want no one to know I’m runner up

When I be coming up, but motherfucker I don’t ever take L’s

I’m sorry, not sorry

Fuck you if you leaving the party

Dumb bitch, don’t you even get me started

I'll stand at the board with no ink in the marker

I don’t wait, that’s all day

Shut the door if you walking down the hallway

Keep it down, I got chords in the crawl space

I’m tryna work and record like always


[Pre-Chorus/Bridge]

It’s dark out

I’m working

This life has seen no purpose

No clock-outs

Still learning

Still, I might seem so nervous

That’s truthful

I’m faithful

You duck, I’ll pass

No thank you

Work harder

Done waiting

Success ain’t got no patience


[Chorus]

2 AM when I write mine

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

I ain’t ever been in my right mind

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

2 AM when I write mine

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime

I ain’t ever been in my right mind

Cause I only come alive in the nighttime
