Civilized Lyrics by AUGUST 08

Happy Endings with an Asterisk

2019

[Verse 1]
I got a mindless temper even on good days
Not  a bad influence, just want my way
Drama,  drama won't fade away
After we kiss just go away
She so Valley, oh my God
Temper  tantrums, the whole night
Cigarettes,  just need a light
In the hallway, just need a lie like
Woah,  you be always home, but you never call
Pick up your phone
See you with your friends
Broken promises, like you never had a home
Now  I'm real pissed, don't wanna hear shit
Broken mirrors on the floor

[Chorus]
Now I'm actin' out on this plane
Like nigga fuck that sound
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)
I don't give a damn I'm out of my element
Man I feel it all the time
Bear witness to the fire burnin' all around you
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)
This the type of shit that make me wanna (Ahh)
Fuck bein' civilized
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)

[Refrain]
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

[Verse 2]
I'm more Coldplay than Dwele, I'm more Michael than Regis
I'm more good in these streets, than a lot of you niggas
I'm not calling for peace, I'm keeping it up
You awake in the streets, I'm heatin' it up
You outdated and jaded, just standin' in the way
We workin' 'til the sun, just thank God for the day
Swervin' fast in the whip, screamin' "fuck what you say"
Do this shit for my mama, she on her feet every day
You got love for me, hoes for me
Trust for me, dope for me, even though we never seen it
Roll down the window it look like
Goddamn everything that I ever needed (Yeah)
I been down, I been up, I lost friends
That turned out to be faker than silicone
Who know like we know, we survive around the hate

[Chorus]
That's why I screamin' out
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)
I don't give a damn I'm out of my element
Man I feel it all the time
Bear witness to the fire burnin' all around you
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)
This the type of shit that make me wanna (Ahh)
Fuck bein' civilized
Fuck bein' civilized (Fuck, fuck)

[Refrain]
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

[Outro]
Fuck, fuck
Mm
Fuck, fuck
