Anywhere But Here

I must be dreaming but there you are.
Said the Moon to his brightest star, let's go.
Somewhere but not too far.
Where we can take it slow, ain't nobody got to know.
When you're looking like that I'm sure you can read my mind.
I think it's time to bounce because you're so damn fine, let's go
Anywhere but here, but not too far.
Wanna get some tacos or something afterwards?
I'm hella down.
Where the ocean meets the sand.
I don't think they'll understand.
Why you running through my mind in a tracksuit?
You look so damn good.
Do you have to do what you do?
I'm down for some Voodoo.
I'm gonna run that booty like a choo choo, all aboard!
How do you do, anywhere but here?
I think I'm dreaming because there you are.
Looking so good like a movie star.
You didn't have to make it rain.
You leave me with that look that leaves me weak, ho yeah!
Either I am too old for this.
Baby I am too bold for that.
One thing is evidently clear, honey.
We need to take this party elsewhere.
Anywhere but here but not too far.
Under the diamond disco ball I've watched you lose control.
Hey what about your home girl though?
I mean once midnight hit, I think that chick turned back into a pumpkin.
What the hell was that all about?
Let's go, anywhere but here.
But not far away.
Still running through my mind in that tracksuit.
Oh hell yeah, still cute.
How do you do what you do?
Booty so good I'll tell the truth.
How do you do?
Hey, are we far from Roscoe's?
I'm driving.
Let's go anywhere but here, but not too far.

I said girl, I know you're listening.
Oh you is a bad bitch, or at least that's what you tell yourself.
You've got more problems than you know what to do.
It's always something going on with you.
It's just one thing after another.
Do you know the difference between a loser and a lover?
It's one letter.
And while we're at it you might as well drop the rude, princess attitude when you're gonna get dumped again, you know it!
But you surely can't afford it.
Baby you may think you are Yukon Gold but you be shaped like a Russet.
Oh wait you think you're a snack?
You're a frozen TV Dinner.
They tell you to fake it, even if you ain't gonna make it.
You ain't giving, only taking.
You break it, you bought it, but you surely can't afford it.
You're going out of style just like denim.
Whoa partner, you're not getting off that easy.
You ain't on that playa shit, you keep it sleazy.
The distance and lengths you go to get laid.
Do you have Mommy Issues?
Because you're on some kind of crusade that I can't understand or relate.
Even if you're just trying to fuck, you still pay.
That would explain that little chip on your shoulder.
Even if you had all the money in the world, you can't afford her.
And it ain't her fault that you're only 5 feet tall.
The only thing you're smashing tonight is drywall.
Why don't you keep that whiny shit for your online message boards.
Or go with your boys because I've getting your girl up on all fours.
That tells you the difference between being slick and having some charm.
While you work so hard and she still calls you baby dick,
that girl's got me saved in her phone as baby arm.
Ain't no need to fake it babe.
You've wasted time on all them Dopamine Fixes & Buyers Remorse.
Here you are, you still can't afford it.
Ain't no need to fake it babe.
They tell you to fake it, even if you ain't gonna make it.
You ain't giving, only taking.
You break it, you bought it, but you surely can't afford it.
You're going out of style just like denim.

I've heard of mother nature.
It has to have a connection.
Human Nature.
It's all well and fine until you learn a hard lesson.
Why do you gotta break my protocol?
Everytime I give you another chance?
I ain't asking much.
Just a little loving touch.
If it's the drama you can't get enough.
Who you fooling, girl?
Miss me with that Judge Judy attitude, babe.
Make that stink face all you want to your dismay.
Pay me a little bit of R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Because you triflin'
It ain't my first time
It ain't my last though.
You better recognize.
Ha ha ha.
I should have seen the signs.
You better save your lines.
Punishment fits the crime.
You've got the right plan, just the wrong pimp.
You better understand before I'm gone and
Look in my eyes and tell me if you see it...
Hell nah.
You Triflin'
An OG told me once:
Playas do what they want.
Suckas do what they can.
If you need me to say it twice so you can understand.
A real pimp don't even have to raise his voice.
He'll whisper in your ear softly.
You'll be like "yes daddie"
Alright now where we going to eat?
You know.
Miss me with that Judge Judy attitude, babe.
Make that stink face all you want to your dismay.
Pay me a little bit of R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Because you know you triflin'

I see you're left alone.
Way too far from home.
How'd you get here babe?
I had to know.
I really wish I could have helped you though.
I'll always wonder, how'd you end up in the middle of the road?
At the time I was Top Flight Swing Shift All Star.
Shiny bald head with a tan car.
Coming back hard from some bullshit.
I've only been on the clock for ten minutes.
Why you dreaming on a future that's already gone?
Why you telling me to let go when you keep hanging on?
After all these I wonder, how'd you end up in the middle of the road?
Now and then I gotta remind myself:
Why you dreaming on a future that's already gone?
Ol TeddyB don't believe in love at first sight.
With them cherry red lips I'm changing policy tonight.
Oh Wild Child, why don't you go ahead and behave?
I'm about to quit this job and go and party with you babe.
Top Flight's Most Wanted and that's okay.
Every time I run into you I'm like Hey!
That was the funniest shit when you took our oxygen tank.
And you were cute as fuck when you brought it back the next day.
Oh and when the Sheriff came to take you away, I still can't believe you kicked that deputy in the face.
Where did you come from?
Why you dreaming on a future that's already gone?
Why you telling me to let go when you keep hanging on?
And when I saw your ghost I had to know, how'd you end up in the middle of the road?
Now and then I gotta remind myself:
Why you dreaming on a future that's already gone?
