Taking Hold

This a shoutout to the guy you know
Do it for the...
This a shoutout to the guy you know

I hope it kills me 'cos I
Need the pain
I hope you're ready for me
I feel the same now
Oh, oh it's taking hold, now
Oh, oh it's taking hold

This a shoutout to the guy you know
Do it for the boys, like Idaho/I Da Ho
I know I said it wrong but I'm vibing though
Face numb and it's all
Lace like tie a bow; double knot
All the trouble got the cops car siren go *whoop*
And he picked me up like by the throat
Throw me in the back and drive me home
And you're the type of girl that they try to clone
3 Ways, calls on the landline
Working in the retail
Stories at a bad time
I just wanna vent
Aye, seeing you a campfire
Can we keep it burning?
I'm coming, ima stand by
Come put up a tent
And you're not a sleep
Pick up my call
Now you're Marylin Jones to me
Run it off
We're sitting in the dark
And I hoping that it kicks in
Do it all the same way, hope it turns out different... this time

I hope it kills me 'cos I
Need the pain
I hope you're ready for me
I feel the same now
Oh, oh it's taking hold, now
Oh, oh it's taking hold

This a shoutout to your attitude
Pulling strings like a parachute
Coming down like a bandicoot
Crash, PS1 days
In this city that I have to lose
Staring at the moon
Can we simmer down?
You're the twinkle in my eye
And I'm thinkin' how
Everything is kinda crazy
Like a funny farm
Always tryna interrupt
And I'm getting nothing done
You know me!
Like false flag terror in my territory
Sometimes I'm my own worse enemy
I need medicine, you the dispensary
Yeah you always come through right when I need
And I always come back like a boomerang
Bittersweet Pootie Tang
Still going through my brain
Yeah you have me by the balls like I'm Super Saiyan
But I prefer who you were, not who you became

I hope it kills me 'cos I
Need the pain
I hope you're ready for me
I feel the same now
Oh, oh it's taking hold, now
Oh, oh it's taking hold

You're putting me on [x2]
You're working me hard
I shouldn't be strong
You're putting me on [x2]
You're working me hard
I need you baby
[x4]
