Incense Lyrics by Phil Adé

A Different World

2011

[Intro: Phil Adé]
(Sunny Norway) Yeah

[Verse 1: Phil Adé]
Sometimes I let my mind take me on a trip
Away from these fake niggas and these dimes tryna hit
Lookin' for a nigga with a little recognition
Still fightin' for my start, I'm lookin' for my ignition
My attention is on a place where my mom don't work
And the fact that me and dad don't get along don't hurt
And the niggas I been with that dabble in hood shit
Ain't gotta carry 9's like a Rondo shirt
Been tryna be Mr. Right, and I ain't it
My ex got hip to it, she know I ain't shit
Arguin' over texts, a part of me want her back
Wanna give her the time, I figure it's time to relax
Focus, get my head right, shine, get my headlights
Up so long, I'm forgettin' what a bed like
When it come to bars, I got prisms, yeah, I shed light
Dreams, I got visions, man, I'm driven, fuck a red light

[Chorus: Mac Miller & Phil Adé]
One time for ya mind, two times for ya soul (Yeah)
This some late-night rhymin', it's a quarter after 4
I don't know why I'm just wide awake
Layin' back and my mind erased
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like, let it burn like
I let it burn like incense

[Post-Chorus: Mac Miller]
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright?
'Cause I think I could go all night (Current time)
I got the lights dimmed real low (It's 5:17 in the mornin')
Let the incense burn slow (Oh, wow)
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright? (That's great)
'Cause I think I could go all night
I got the lights dimmed real low
Let the incense burn slow (Hey, hey)

[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
Ayo, late night rhymin', always great timin'
This another world I tend to always put my mind in
I'm in places they ain't heard of yet
Where I wonder what I deserve, 'cause for sure I'm blessed
My words is no threat, I'm just livin' this life
Do it, do it again 'til I'm gettin' it right
I know a girl and she always try to hit me at night
'Cause she need to hear me say that everything is alright
So I do, me, I'm chillin', everything cool
And my crew livin' good 'cause I be singin' these tunes
On the move, never stay in one place for long
Have an empire fuckin' with a Genghis Khan
Tryna make a million dollars off a T-shirt (T-shirts)
I'll be fishin' from the moon, hope my dreams work (Dreams work)
Let it burn like incense (Incense), lay back when it get tense
See the world through nothin' but a sixth sense
You impressed?

[Chorus: Mac Miller]
One time for ya mind, two times for ya soul
This some late-night rhymin', it's a quarter after 4
I don't know why I'm just wide awake
Layin' back and my mind erased
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like, let it burn like
I let it burn like incense

[Post-Chorus: Mac Miller & Phil Adé]
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright?
'Cause I think I could go all night
I got the lights dimmed real low
Let the incense burn slow
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright?
'Cause I think I could go all night
I got the lights dimmed real low
Let the incense burn slow (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Phil Adé]
Sometimes I need time alone
My phone, I keep silent on
This when your man need a Tylenol
Before I get violent on a nigga
Got me yellin', "Fuck him," every time I'm on this wine or on this liquor
Searchin' my mind to find different approaches
To get where that dough is, 'cause a nigga never owned shit
Except this Dro I'm blowin' out the back door at Mac's show
Niggas quick to speak but think and act slow
On that note, tell D-lists make a move
My fam need to eat, ain't nothin' sweet except the room
If shorty asks right, somethin' wrong is what we do
And if I'm sleepin' with her, we ain't sleepin' until noon
Zoom-zoom, smell the exhaust fumes
Steppin' on the gas of life, I'm gonna be lost soon
That's what Mama said
So much drama in my head, let the incense burn until it's dead

[Chorus: Mac Miller & Phil Adé]
One time for ya mind (One), two times for ya soul
This some late-night rhymin', it's a quarter after 4
I don't know why I'm just wide awake
Layin' back and my mind erased
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like incense, hey
I let it burn like, let it burn like
I let it burn like incense

[Post-Chorus: Mac Miller]
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright?
'Cause I think I could go all night
I got the lights dimmed real low
Let the incense burn slow
Tell me, baby, do you think you feel alright?
'Cause I think I could go all night
I got the lights dimmed real low
Let the incense burn slow

[Outro: Mac Miller]
Do you—
Hey, do you think you feel alright?
Said, baby, tell me, do you think you feel alright?
Think I could go all night
Got the lights dimmed real low, haha
