BACKGROUND Lyrics by BROCKHAMPTON

SAM & KESHON

0

[Intro: Kevin Abstract]
All week, I been running from blue
Thinkin’ bout how all your tattoos faded away
The blue blue truck would come and pick you up
Mom and pop sayin’ you might not make it today
I would stand outside for ya
I would go to war online for ya
I would, put my hands to the sky for ya
I, I, I, I

[Verse 1: JOBA & Kevin Abstract]
I lose a two, to do for you is nothing
I built around, but
Work it though, I always know it’s something
They don’t know yet
Dirty secrets, top secret
Just let me know
You can keep it, can you keep it?
Aw shit

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract & Ryan Beatty]
I ain’t no background (Ah, ah, ah)
I don’t like bein’ passed around (Ah, ah, ah)
I’ll knock the wind down
But I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)
I ain’t no background (Ah, ah, ah)
I just wanna leave this town (Ah, ah, ah)
I’ll chase the wind down
I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)

[Verse 2: Matt Champion]
Dim the light, ay yeah
Takin’ five, ay yeah
What’s your problem, what you doin’, come outside
What you like, ay yeah
I’m surprised, ay yeah
What you doin’, how you been, are we alive?
We in the bay tryna get closer
The music loud and I can’t hear a thing
She wanna roll up on some marijuana
And I don’t smoke like everybody think
Them peaches sweet like they was baked in Georgia
And you know what you got, and everything
I wanted to see on the balcony, baby
All them years chasing what, and what you save me
Got it all up in the locker like Davey
Like treading from place to place, I need a raise, bitch
I miss the all the things you might say (ah)
I mean the are we in the right place (ah)
Might as well just let it all space (ah)

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract & Ryan Beatty]
I ain’t no background (Ah, ah, ah)
I don’t like bein’ passed around (Ah, ah, ah)
I’ll knock the wind down
But I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)
I ain’t no background (Ah, ah, ah)
I just wanna leave this town (Ah, ah, ah)
I’ll chase the wind down
I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
I ain’t tryna keep up with you (I ain’t tryna keep up with you)
