LATELY Lyrics by mgk

BINGE

2018

[Intro: Sammi Giancola]
(Oh my God, RONNY)

[Chorus]
Uh, lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I’m livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it’s very hard

[Verse 1]
Life's been getting to me, I just started smoking squares (I'm stressed)
But they ain't getting in my circle, though, we still prepared (For real)
I'm still dealin' with some demons that ain't really there
Grew up a screw-up, pierced my ear and dyed my fuckin' hair (Like that)
In seventh grade, I didn’t have a bed, I had to share (For real)
The fuck you think I go so hard for? I got outta there (I’m gone)
Have you ever had somebody try to take your life? (Huh?)
Sometimes, I ain't safe from myself when I stay up at night

[Chorus]
Uh, lately, I been havin’ crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it’s very hard
Uh, lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard

[Verse 2]
Look, I promised myself I ain't never goin' home (Not at all)
Nine years old, my momma left me in the cold (Goddamn)
Ayy, what you think that type of shit do to your soul?
Find someone that finally love me, still I treat her like a ho (That shit is fucked up)
Damn, it be the shit that they don't know (That they don't know)
Ayy, I only smile in public just for show (Yeah)
I know they try to warn me 'bout my dose
You-you-you know them kids be with the Ye
And now them kids be seein' ghosts (Ow)

[Chorus]
Lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard (Ow)
Lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard

[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly, William V. Mong & Harrison Greene]
Uh, yeah (Ayy, ayy, ayy), ayy
Them demons ain't the only ones that's up at night
Huh, yeah, ayy (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Uh, ayy, uh (Ayy)
Them demons ain't the only ones that's up at night, oh
(Does that appear the mark of a human being?)
Ayy, ayy, ayy
(Or a demon's? God, save us)
Demons ain't the only ones that's up at night

[Chorus]
Lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard (Ow)
Lately, I been havin' crazy thoughts, yeah
The way I'm livin', shit get crazy dark (Uh-uh), uh
Tell me lately, why we barely talk? (Why?)
Ayy, you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
