[Intro: Melo]

(Hey!)

I slipped and fell on the blackest ice

Was movin' at the speed of light

And still overseen, overlooked

[Chorus: Melo]

Fool me once can't fool me twice though

I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael

Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope

Learned to live life when there's something to die for

[Verse 1: Melo]

And now the reception say I'm seamless

Can't take no breaks 'til I see the Eiffel

Achieving achievements broke the seams and

The whole scene seen it, they sayin' aight folks

Passion dies (Passion dies)

Concept ideas before you sow

At the speed of light

Must plant your seeds before you grow

[Chorus: Melo]

Fool me once can't fool me twice though

I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael

Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope

Learned dah-dah-dah-dah

Blah-dah-blah-blah (Uh, uh)

[Verse 2: Melo]

This shit a ritual, made it habitual

As soon I'm collectin' residuals

This that original digital

My nigga Martin said send it up

But I need some love I don't get enough (AY)

I'm just a product of growin' up

Look how it ended up

(Uh, uh)

(Uh, uh)

I'm finna send it up

This is the individual, I'm not a cynic

A typical, damn near a medicinal

This for the dreamless, this for the ceaseless

This for the scene kids, all planting our seeds

This for the sleepless

This for my city I speak for the speechless

This for my city, departed friends, we miss

This for my city, my actions don't sneak diss

This for my city, my city, my city

Repeat this

[Verse 3: Taylor Bennett]

You could fool once

But you fooled me twice though

Who's loving you? Pretty young thing I know

I feel like fool when I call your iPhone

You fill my wounds with the moonlight light glows

Wounds what got bloom but I feel like Michael

Home in my zone, where the midnight lights slow

Ace of my spade, put my card I might fold

Call it payback but I know what I owe you

'Cause soon I'm consumed by my doom

We used to late nights, even later afternoons

Shakin' laying naked, now its vacant in my room

My patience breakin' achin' I been prayin' we resume

Not Jesus but I'm racing, walking lakes, and chasin moon

Forearms stationed, body angled where I'm layin' in this tomb

And my past like my preview, I could tell what's coming soon

'Cause even with no credits you could tell what I produce

[Verse 4: Melo]

And even with no bed I'm still ahead and on the move

(This shit a ritual)

Somethin' better coming soon

(Made it habitual)

Got a lot I need to prove

(And soon I'm collecting residuals)

And a lot for me to lose

My nigga Taylor just glowed him up (now set it off)

My nigga Martin said send it up (send it up send it up)

All night just working to set it up (AY)

Mr. Makes Music just having fun, look how it ended up

(Uh, Uh)

(Uh)

I'm finna send it up

This individual, I'm not a cynic atypical, damn near invincible

[Chorus: Melo]

Fool me once can't fool me twice though

I was like 8 tryna dance like Michael

Cirque du Soleil, now walk the tightrope

Learned dah-dah-dah-dah

[Outro: Melo]

This for my city and this for the ceaseless

This for my city, I'll speak for the speechless

This for my city, and this for the scene kids

This for my city, my city, and this for the Sleepless
