Turn Me Off

from Supernova by Basi & Mikos Da Gawd

/

lyrics

Lost in the abyss
Tell me what it cost for me to not be in this shit
What could you really offer me to not be what it is
Tell me what we lost and I’ll find it in this bitch
It’s all timing like the wrist
We ain’t watching when we in it only when we reminisce
Hindsight 2020 and the limelight bliss
Yeah I might not know but I know my shit
And I owe my soul to the ones I miss
I ain’t on my own but sometimes
It feels like I’m alone
The sunshine can’t seem to find my home
And I feel a need to write my wrongs
So I breathe and bleed into these songs
And I know we free
But I don’t know
‘Cause why do my needs outweigh my wants?
And why can’t I be the way I want?
And why can’t I see what they saw?
What changed in me and what time was lost?
Who raised the price?
Who changed the cost?
We all exhausted baby
Turn me off
Turn me off

Long as time keep ticking
And the waves keep dipping
Baby ain’t no changing me
One time I was tryna be different
I was obviously trippin’
Playin’ games it was plain to see
And everybody can’t see what was hidden
Can’t breathe what we livin’
Can’t be who we came to be
So boy you better breathe for a minute
Everybody can’t see when we in it

Why you gotta attitude?
Who you speaking on?
Why you bring a bad mood to who was waiting on you?
Now you got that nigga mad cause you breathing wrong
I ain’t saying what to do but you better be cool
Baby I ain’t really mad but you did me wrong
I don’t want the bad news but you could tell me that too
Just talk to me
Walk with me baby come through
Spend time intertwined baby
What you wanna do?
I need to give my all to the booth
Not you
Girl I know I’m a star so it’s all overdue
Talking clothes and the cars and the cash jewels
And mansions and pools all designed for the few
But I can’t be a fool and I know what’s the truth
But I don’t know what to do
We all lost til we long in the tooth then poof
Lights out lifes gone don’t nobody miss you
Just play my shit when they ask who’s who
Like Basi made hits but he had loose screws
Like Basi made hits but he had loose screws

Long as time keep ticking
And the waves keep dipping
Baby ain’t no changing me
One time I was tryna be different
I was obviously trippin’
Playin’ games it was plain to see
And everybody can’t see what was hidden
Can’t breathe what we livin’
Can’t be who we came to be
So boy you better breathe for a minute
Everybody can’t see when we in it
