Rather Be Us Lyrics by Fourth

4:00

2016

[Verse 1: Fourth]
Listen
Damn girl, let me hit you up
I've been thinking all night, I know you what you want
I could think of something right now that would lift you up
Maybe hit the crib one time if you down to -
(huh, yeah)
Get dinner and just chat it out
I could tell you a couple things you ain't know about
See that my game's real tight, I could run you out
And you know I ain't playing like that 30 on the jersey
And swish like a baller do
I can tell that they bother you
But you gotta stop hanging with them budget boys
Spend another hundred and they tell you that they're fronting you
(haha, yeah)
Man, these dudes they exist though
Looking for a hit show
Trying to be me in the 6
So swear you'll never find another 4, I'm the shit yo

[Hook: Fourth, maSHerman]
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're swaggin' like us
They'd rather be us, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're swaggin' like us
They'd rather be us, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
These guys, they'd rather be us, hey
These guys, they'd rather be us, hey

[Verse 2: Ninehundred]
If I took my time out so we can spend some time out or maybe spend some time in
With the perfect timing we could find out if time is what it takes to get your mind out
If time is what it takes to lay you back like a recliner
You know how I do, girl
I know that you've been down
Deep down I know you're peeping out the window with your chin out
You're only acting cool 'cause you're here with all your friends out
Fast forward later
Tell me why you keep stressing girl
We always listen to your best friends girl
You're acting like an adolescent girl
You know that shit does not impress me
And if I took some time off so we could take some time out or maybe take some time off
With the perfect timing we could write off our problems on a kite and make them fly off
Yeah, maybe you could stop stressing

[Hook: Fourth, maSHerman]
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're swaggin' like us
They'd rather be us, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're swaggin' like us
They'd rather be us, hey
All these guys
They're talking like us
They're moving like us
They're driving me nuts, hey
These guys, they'd rather be us, hey
These guys, they'd rather be us, hey
