[Intro]

Ahnboi


[Chorus: Veyru]

I ain’t never take no perc, I’m in a codeine winter

Hella sedated, elevated, pour a pint in the Fanta

I ain’t need no dad to be a bastard

Uh, real nigga here, he a mo’fuckin actor

Leaning the wrong way-ay-ay

Ironic, but I’ll never go astray-ay-ay

My past is a mo’fuckin crossway

I don’t wanna get hit, so I gotta look both ways


[Verse 1: RyanX]

Cold nights, cold hearts, snow fallin’ in my cup

Purple tears in the Sprite, yeah, I’m pouring my trust

She said she loves my scars, but she’s scared of my touch

Every time I open up, it turn into ashes and dust

I’ve been fighting demons in designer clothes

My life feels like cameras, but I’m dying alone

Heart’s so numb, need a feeling, need a antidote

I see angels in the ceiling when I’m half-asleep

Nightmares talkin' to me, say they never leave

I've tried love, I’ve tried drugs, I tried everything

Still running from the pain, like it’s chasing me

Codeine winter, yeah, I might just turn into ice

She my forever, but I’m living one night

Snow on my wrist, but my chest feel tight

If I don’t make it home, just know I tried


[Chorus: Veyru]

I ain’t never take no perc, I’m in a codeine winter

Hella sedated, elevated, pour a pint in the Fanta

I ain’t need no dad to be a bastard

Uh, real nigga here, he a mo’fuckin actor

Leaning the wrong way-ay-ay

Ironic, but I’ll never go astray-ay-ay

My past is a mo’fuckin crossway

I don’t wanna get hit, so I gotta look both ways


[Verse 2: Veyru]

Yeah, I gotta look both ways

Sip so damn much, I’m leaning both ways

Choppa make a nigga shake, like a mo’fuckin’ earthquake

I’ve been getting to the bag, and these ho’s wanna chase

They want a piece, uh, uh, get off of me, uh, uh, I can’t breathe

Got my girl with me, she perfect for me

My love is strong like some mo’fuckin’ Hennessy

Too beautiful, she done Stevie Wonder’d me

Would never lie to you

What I say is true, truer than the truth

And when I’m with you, I feel like I can’t lose

The more I look at you, I keep falling

My love all in

Laying in a heart-shaped coffin

Sippin’ too much of you got me noddin’

A better high than narcotics

Independent, so you got this

And I’m just watchin’


[Chorus: Veyru]

I ain’t never take no perc, I’m in a codeine winter

Hella sedated, elevated, pour a pint in the Fanta

I ain’t need no dad to be a bastard

Uh, real nigga here, he a mo’fuckin actor

Leaning the wrong way-ay-ay

Ironic, but I’ll never go astray-ay-ay

My past is a mo’fuckin crossway

I don’t wanna get hit, so I gotta look both ways
