lyrics

You say "Love is a waste of time"
and it seems like you mean it.
It drove you up and out of your mind
'till you were sleeping in the living room of a friend.

But somehow you survived, just hustling.
It's the way you live your life and I dig it.
Yeah, I think we should get high sometime.

You said one time you got found out.
Here's you explaining how: "I didn't know what I was doing!"
Oh yeah, I'm sure but I wouldn't wager
my good health thoroughbred.

You're just hustling.
I'll keep my cents instead.
Yeah, I get it and I have some place to be.

If I don't seem surprised when you say that love is a waste of time.
Oh, or whatever that was.
I'm ready for your big because.

You say "Love is a waste of time"
and it seems like you mean it.
It drove you up and out of your mind
'till you were sleeping in the living room of a friend.

But somehow you survived, just hustling.
It's the way you live your life and I dig it.
I think we should get high sometime.

You know I listen well.
So, why do you suppose it is I said, "Oh, or whatever that was"?
I'm ready for your big because.

I love every word you said.
But I can't let you in on my sensitive heart.
You told me that love is a waste of time.
I could listen all day to your big because.

You know I listen well.
So, why do you suppose it is I said, "Oh, or whatever that was"?
I'm ready for your big because.

This album is a perfect example of early Future Funk and I wish we would’ve seen more like this. Sample usages are creative and catchy, with some synths added in occasionally to tie everything together. Really makes me wish Childhood would have made more music. 9/10 TimTheToast
