Semantics Lyrics by NNAMDÏ

BRAT

2020

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I used to have friends
Yeah, I used to roll deep
'Til I ruined my health
Ain't been gettin' no sleep
I got sick of myself
I got sick of these dreams
Getting bigger, my eyes
Start hallucinating

And I keep it low-key
Like the knob at my knees
Many people told me
I should probably start praying
When the darkness turns bright
Like a prism in heat
Push apart in the light
Like red sea when I'm near
See the coroner smile
While she's lifting my feet
In the storage I lied
I can see it so clear
Now my troubles take flight
'Cause their business ain't here
When I cover my eyes
You can see what I feared

[Chorus]
Yeah, I did it myself
Yeah, I did it all me
Don't need none of y'all help
Yeah, I did it all me
You can't handle no stress
Fuck it, put it on me
You can't handle what's next
Fuck it, put it on me

Yeah, I used to have friends
Yeah, I used to roll deep
Don't need none of y'all help
Give a fuck what you think
You can't handle no stress
Fuck it, put it on me
Yeah, I did it myself
Yeah, I did it on me

[Verse 2]
Livin' like WWE
Get the belt, put it on me
You gotta be kiddin' yourself
If you think I'm givin' up easy

Give up blood, no sir I don't
Flip that bird, cold turk
Let that soul iceberg
My callus are strong
My heart ride alone

Ain't no gang
Kids solo dolo with my brain
Goin' so low subway don't know terrain
Monorail and fail and at it again
Town to town and all them tell me to clone
Nnamdi blacker ain't no bitch in my blood
I fall leafed it parked in kennel like pugs
Whistle dog and I no care it's like bugs
Creepy, crawlin' drown my melanin mud
Kind of love to
See 'em bawlin' 'cause the seed has fallen
Spread my fertile pollen
Rooted starting to bud
Light year last year new man and he be (buzz)
No rest on my lips light no drool on my tongue
No rasta Marley like no chulo my tone
Bark at fuzz I like from peaches no guns
Shots burn moths off like it's tickin' time bomb
Cop might lick this tick I'm Timon

[Pre-Chorus]
My dad thinks I'm jaded, I am
What if I change into someone I can't fix
My inner Grinch need a bandage
Cursing out fuck the world in every language
Now who feeling jaded, I am
I changed into someone I can't fix
Changed into someone I can't fix

[Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah, I did it myself
Yeah, I did it all me
Don't need any y'all help
Yeah, I did it all me
You can't handle no stress
Fuck it, put it on me
You can't handle what's next
Fuck it, put it on me

Yeah, I used to have friends
Yeah, I used to roll deep
Don't need none of y'all help
Give a fuck what you think
You can't handle no stress
Fuck it, put it on me
Yeah, I did it myself
Yeah, I did it all me
