[Verse 1]
Look
Temper tantrum temptations, made it out of the basement
I knew that I made it, moment that I felt hated
I had one man in my comments saying that I saved their life
I sent that dude a message and never once got a reply
Now, it'd be wrong to think they faking it or maybe just died
But I took that moment with me and held it rest of my life
I saw ***** with ********, and I ain't been right since
Love is nothing to the mind if you never let no one in
I saw houses I couldn't afford, imagined myself buying them
Success is not a virtue, but consequence of you trying (Man)
The confidence of Ye mixed with bravery of firemen
Saw the same jokes, and it got kind of tiring
I done dotted my eyes, and that was just to get the point across
Please wash your hands before assembling a molotov
I saw someone pushing ninety, working register at 5AM
CEOs would rather see you die, then pay for your retirement
[Chorus]
But that's just me, how about you?
I hope you aren't scared of me too
Me? I'm fine, no worries tonight
Cause I'm alone with you in the backseat, in the backseat
You're so nice, you're my high
Wrap my ivy around your thighs
I love that you trust me
Now can we just make love in the backseat? In the backseat? (Yeah)
Backseat love, backseat love, backseat lovin'
Backseat love, backseat love, backseat lovin'
[Verse 2]
See, I was working on my people skills
But it's hard when all your people cannot keep it real
Had to cop a mountain, that was just to keep it trill
I could build a whole state full of treeless hills
Giving up is the only thing that really gives me chills
Doctors ask for pictures rather than to give me pills
Fixated on a problem, how I keep it still?
Rather build a paradise then be in living hell
We can lie to the judge, nobody does that
Got lost in LA, like "Where the bus at?"
I'd play your favorite song, you used to love that
Gave my heart to the game, so where the love at?
Blessings are precious, might give what I make, and might take what I give
Cause my creations are recreations of who I am today, versus what I was
Like I could fly over a city of animals
Matter of fact, I changed the whole script, and I got the proof in my camera roll
I wasn't all on my honor roll
And the past wasn't that long ago
I left everything behind, created a way to break out the game
I'm not saying that it went all to plan
I'm just saying that I moved ahead
Icarus tried to fly away, and I'm not trying to die today
Money don't matter, cause time getting faster, and we getting close to the top of the ladder
If I gave up three years ago, then I wouldn't be here to have a happily ever after
They like "Oh you sing? What's your best song?"
Well every song that I've made would be the best one
I don't even know how I do that
Riding 'round in the city like we a cruise ship
In a bulletproof Cadillac, with no tints
Don't hide from the world, cause they will forget who you is
You gon' make your mark, soon as you know who you are
And I'm happy you listened, but hold up, i'll let you finish, but-
[Chorus]
But that's just me, how about you?
I hope you aren't scared of me too
Me? I'm fine, no worries tonight
Cause I'm alone with you in the backseat, in the backseat
You're so nice, you're my high
Wrap my ivy around your thighs
I love that you trust me
Now can we just make love in the backseat? In the backseat? (Yeah)
Backseat love, backseat love, backseat lovin'
Backseat love, backseat love, backseat lovin'
[Verse 3]
Followed all of the guidelines
Friends resort to white lies
Feds tapping the Wi-Fi
Cops committing drive-bys
The greatest of all time by 2075
Or dead by 25, and my t-shirt is tie-dyed
Made it through a place where they want you to be the same
Where different ideas are far ahead of current day
Druggies in Stan Smiths, 'member calling them "Addy-dose"
The radios only play what fits the status quo
And out of those songs, they pick the safest audios
God forbid hip-hop on the radio
They say we poisoning the kids with our tunes
The world's population shares a fistful of truth
How you keep working when the business is closed?
How you say "Yes" in a room full of No's
How you stand out, in a crowd full of Who's
That's backseat love, from me, to you
