Oh
Oh
Oh-woah
Oh-woah
Tell me what, what you see
Will-A-Fool [Verse] Uh, you ever feel like you worthless? (Graah)
Like you ain’t worth shit? (Yeah)
And I know that I ain’t perfect
But you know that I’m worth it, uh (Yeah)
Tryna find somethin’ to do with my time (Time)
Ease my pain, get you off of my mind
Three cell phones, I been on my grind
No more love means no more lies
And I tried, yeah
Lord knows I tried (Yeah, yeah)
Smokin’ dope back to back, I’m fried (Fried)
Thuggin’ for three days, see the pain in his eyes (Yeah)
Tryna get over pride (Yeah, yeah)
And I’m here to let ’em know (Let ’em know, oh, I gotta let ’em know, yeah)
Uh, if you love ’em, don’t let ’em go (Let ’em go, tell me, why would you ever let ’em go?)
I found your headband on my bedroom floor
The only evidence that you’ve been here before
I don’t get waves of missin’ you anymore
They’re more like tsunami tides in my eyes (Yeah, yeah)
Remember all of the times, on Pinellas Point Drive
Actin’ like you was fine, a broken heart in disguise
Loved the nigga to death, even though I was tellin’ lies
The day that we run away, all the stars align
It’s the same old thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It’s the same old song (Gang, yeah)
One day you’re here, next day, you’re gone (Gone)
All of the fussin’, all of the fights
All the early mornings and the long nights
All the who’s right’s, and all the who’s wrong (Woah, yeah, yeah)
Just to end up alone (All alone, just to end up alone)
Just to end up alone (All that work, all that time)
I don’t wanna be alone
I don’t wanna be—, I don’t wanna be—
Don’t leave me alone [Outro] Ayy let me hear that, Chino
Let me see where I’m at with that bih
Grrah, grrah
Yungen Lyrics
[Intro: Rod Wave] How you tell me love me? You knew you wouldn’t keep me aroundDone with the fightin’, I don’t want discussions, so now I’m just tunin’ you out
We out in public and you talkin’ crazy, you steadily runnin’ your mouth
This is the time to be true to y’all, you should’ve listened, I told you my time was comin’, my time was now, now [Chorus: Rod Wave] And they say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah
Make way for him, yeah, yeah
They say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Rod Wave] We was waitin’ for him, ooh, there go the youngin’
This was my dream, I always believed, but I couldn’t see this comin’
I usеd to walk to the school, walk to the store, catch thе buses
Now I’m in back of the ‘Bach and catchin’ jets across the country
I had to find a grind, find the time and make out a plan
I used to hit my knees, talk to God, and beg for a chance
I used to go on tours, open up and open up again
Now you can book a show and I’ma bring fifteen thousand fans
I still remember high school, I ain’t fuck with nobody
Mama lookin’ at me crazy when I told her, “Fuck college”
I couldn’t follow rules, got me kicked out my mama house
Told you I’d be a star sittin’ on your mama couch (Yeah) [Chorus: Rod Wave & Jack Harlow] Yeah, they say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah
Make way for him, yeah, yeah (Make way, make way, yeah)
They say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah
We was waitin’ for him, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-ooh (Mmm) [Verse 2: Jack Harlow] I was an open at ACT back when I took my ACTs
Back when I took a lil’ A-D-D-Y, but I didn’t have no ADD
South by Southwest, A3C, now they wanna treat my name like an ATV
Draggin’ that through the mud, sweat, tears, and the blood
I don’t follow trends, orders, crowds, rules, I just follow my gut
This whole world, that’s all that I want, your main girl, that’s all that I want
Just one spin, I’ll call when I’m done
Whole nation full of kids with the same haircut, I call ’em my sons
Told my dawg look at what we done, look at that crowd, look at where we from
Fifteen deep, “Look it, here he comes,” hear ye, hear ye, here we come
Y’all still here, but you’re nearly done, sincerely, um, the greatest
They just wanna degrade us ’cause the heat wave is equal to the equators
Would you rather me be her screensaver or the one that she sees later?
Think on it, we’ll speak later, Rod Wave, it’s gon’ be a while ’til we waiver
[Chorus: Rod Wave] Yeah, they say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah
Make way for him, yeah, yeah (Oh, make way for him, thank God)
They say, “Ooh, there go the youngin,” yeah, yeah (Thank God)
We was waitin’ for him, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-ooh [Outro] We begin with breaking news tonight
A heavy police presence right now at Pier Six Downtown, Pier Six Pavilion
Rod Wave, a rapper was just wrapped up a performance
And there were reports that the Pavilion was almost in capacity with a large crowd left outside
Some people thought what a wise one would say: “They paid for tickets, but they were not able to get inside and see the show”
