E3 Album Lyrics by midwxst

lost

Lost and crazy
Time has changed me
But I don't think you care at all

I wish you'd get up out my phone
I wish when we talked, that you would watch your tone
Lately, I've been in my own zone
You can't hurt me with your words or with your stones
I don't really think you care
Every time that I need you, I call you up, you ain't there
I've been tryna find some clarity, but nothing in my life clear
Only time that I can open up, when I'm sitting up on this chair

Don't let me touch the ground (let me touch the ground)
I'll be sinkin' 'til I'm found (I'll be sinkin' 'til I'm found)
But I'll never let you drown (never let you drown)
To be honest, I've lost myself (to be honest, I've lost myself)

Lost and crazy
Time has changed me
But I don't think you care
Driving, baby
Down to chase me
But I don't think you care at all

Her eyes tell the whole story
Scared to lose me, she's worried
Tired of looking stupid
Wounded, I've been shot by Cupid
So do we speak the same language
And, oh, we need the same training
Do my emotions need taming?
I'm sorry I don't explain it

Don't let me touch the ground (let me touch the ground)
Only shaken 'til I'm found (only shaken 'til I'm found)
But I'll never let you drown (never let you drown)
To be honest, I've lost myself (to be honest, I've lost myself)

Lost and crazy
Time has changed me
But I don't think you care at all (don't care at all)
Driving, baby
Down to chase me (oh)
But I don't think you care at all (at all)

Her eyes tell the whole story
Scared to lose him, she's worried
Tired of looking stupid
Wounded, he's been shot by Cupid

And E3 was dead before he knew it
He was too deep in his search for affection and fantasies
To realize he couldn't save himself

pretty girls

When it rains, it pours, so baby
Just put it on me waiting lady
I'm stuck on all the love you gave me
Pretty girls will drive you crazy

So gone
I'm wasted
I still miss the way you tasted
You just wanna chase it (chase it)
Losing my patience
So break me up
Then break me in
We're out of time
To catch our sins
I miss your touch
Stays on my skin
You f*cked me up

When it rains, it pours, so baby
Just put it on me waiting lady
I'm stuck on all the love you gave me
Pretty girls will drive you crazy

When it rains, it pours so baby
Just put it on me waiting lady
I'm stuck on all the love you gave me
Pretty girls will drive you crazy
(So crazy)

You f*cked me up
(You f*cked me up like truly, like real shit)
Don't come back in
(I don't want you to come back once you gone too, like)
Enough is enough
(Like, once I say that shit done, that shit done, like then it's done)
This is the end
(No, it's over, you ain't coming back either, like-)
Tell me what you want from me
'Cause we don't share no empathy
But girl, you're still a ten to me
But I think we should simply (part our ways)

So break me up
Then break me in
We're out of time
To catch our sins
I miss your touch
Stays on my skin
You f*cked me up

When it rains, it pours, so baby
Just put it on me waiting lady
I'm stuck on all the love you gave me
Pretty girls will drive you crazy

When it rains, it pours, so baby
Just put it on me waiting lady
I'm stuck on all the love you gave me
Pretty girls will drive you crazy
(So crazy)

(Hey baby, I hope your session's gong well)
(I was just calling to let you know that I missed you and wanted to hear your voice)
('Kay and I'm almost there, can't wait for you to get back)
(I feel like we haven't really been spending enough time together)
(And I know you been, like, just busy, working on your album and stuff, but)
(I just really, really, really miss you)

warning

Oh, you swear you love me? Girl, you need to prove it
Got no one to run to, all this shit confusing
Can't nobody trust you, ego need some bruising
I know that you want me, but beggars can't be choosing

I know what you're thinking, I know
Every time you leave me alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Before you stop adoring (oh yeah, yeah)
I know what you're dreaming, I know
Every time we're sleeping alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Broke the news in the morning (morning, oh yeah, yeah)

And I best use some caution, you don't get like this often
Seen your texts in my phone, the last nail in the coffin
Swear you're right when you're wrong, you've been grinding my bones
Said you're leaving my life, so you best get to walking
Had me in a rut
Didn't mean to fall in love, but, girl, you got me stuck
Thought we were doing well, but I had to f*ck it up
Thought we were growing up but now you're the one who's stunted

Oh, you swear you love me? Girl, you need to prove it
Got no one to run to, all this shit confusing
Can't nobody trust you, ego need some bruising
I know that you want me, but beggars can't be choosing

I know what you're thinking, I know
Every time you leave me alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Before you stop adoring (adoring, oh yeah, yeah)
I know what you're dreaming, I know
Every time we're sleeping alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Broke the news in the morning (morning, oh yeah, yeah)

Bedside, we made love, and then I found out 'bout your bad side
All the sudden, made me out to be a bad guy
Maybe this shit would've worked out in a past life, in a past life
But I guess we'll never know
Only wanna be there for the highs and not the lows
Only tryna put on for the 'Gram and wear my clothes
I'd rather be in solitude and suffer on my own (and suffer on my own, yeah)

I know what you're thinking, I know
Every time you leave me alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Before you stop adoring (adoring, oh yeah, yeah)
I know what you're dreaming, I know
Every time we're sleeping alone
I could use a warning (warning, yeah, yeah)
Broke the news in the morning (morning, oh yeah, yeah)

lights out

Lights out, I can still see your face
Right now, I need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
Get out (oh, you spat in my eye)
(Ayy, what the fu-)

Girl, your beauty's your weapon
Still got memories of seein' you undressin' (yeah, I see it, yeah)
Miss your imprint on me and caressin'
Know you'll be back, I left a good impression
It take me, I told her, "Stand down"
No, I'm not a boy no more, lil' bitch, yeah, I'm a man now
Saw you throw my heart up on the floor
I watch you slam down, slam down
Wish I never fell in love in this town, this town, oh

I see the light
You can't replace me, I'm the prototype
Know that I'm broken, see it in my eyes
Hate when I woke up, you weren't by my side
Blinded by love, I was wastin' my time

Lights out, I still see your face
Need you right now, need you right away
And it's lights out, no, I can't escape
Need to get out before it's too late
Lights out, I still see your face
Lights out, need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
F*ck, lights out, before it's too late

I been stumblin' (yeah)
I can't walk straight (I can't)
First, I'll fall in love (oh, yeah)
Then, it's a heartbreak (yeah)
Thought you were the one (the one)
We hit that pump-fake (yeah, that pump-fake)
You texted me, "We're done" (we're done)
Couldn't say it to my face (oh, yeah)
Is this what we'll become? (Oh, yeah)
Is this what you think? (Oh, yeah)
But let me hold my tongue (oh, yeah)
I'll say some real things (oh, yeah)
I know you miss my mood swings (okay)
Yeah, I know you miss my mood swings

I see the light
You can't replace me, I'm the prototype
Know that I'm broken, see it in my eyes
Hate when I woke up, you weren't by my side
Blinded by love, I was wastin' my time

Lights out, I still see your face
Need you right now, need you right away
And it's lights out, no, I can't escape
Need to get out before it's too late
Lights out, I still see your face
Lights out, need you right away
Lights out, no, I can't escape
F*ck, lights out, before it's too late

You know, we just want you to be your very best
So, we noticed you found your gift
It's not every-, everybody doesn't find their gifts
You found your gift

heartache blues

Heartache blues
Living in a broken world with you
Nothing to lose
Don't say that you will, just make your move

She could dip if she wants, but she lives in the back of my head
Through your lips, you can talk like your heart left me for dead, huh
What is the hold-up, girl, right now?
You need to roll up and pipe down
I'm not the same when you're around
Good thing I'm 'bout to leave town ('bout to leave town)
I'm just tryna take a stand
But you always put me on trial
Judgin' like you got a verdict, huh
But your ass still live in denial
Can't stand when she sayin' that it's all my fault
Take away my thoughts, lockin' up my vault
Wanna get in your head, girl, I know you can't stand it
Damn, lil' shawty in demand, and
Girl, I'm like, "Nah-uh-uh" (yeah)

Heartache blues
Living in a broken world with you
Nothing to lose
Don't say that you will, just make your move

Don't cut me out, better read my lips (better read my lips)
Talk that talk, never walk that shit (never walk that)
You never give me the closure (give me the closure)
What should we do? (What should we do?)
How can we get any closer?
All on my body, my mind ain't with you (yeah)
You always wearin' a smile (uh)
Gave you one inch of my love, but you seem to be takin' a mile
Can't stand when she's actin' all nonchalant
Said she don't care but it's all she wants
When you get in my head, girl, you know I can't take it
Want you so bad, I can't fake it
Girl, don't lead me on

Heartache blues
Living in a broken world with you
Nothing to lose
Don't say that you will, just make your move

Tell me what you want from me
I can't read your mind
I've been waitin' patiently
We can take our time
Tell me what you want from me
I can't read your mind (no, I cannot, no, I cannot)
I've been waitin' patiently
We can take our time
Tell me what you want from me (no, I cannot, no, I cannot)
I can't read your mind
I've been waitin' patiently (no, I cannot, no, I cannot)
We can take our time

ball & chain

I was blindsided, my trust one-sided
Thought we were timeless, now you're side-eyein'
Without realizin' you were bad timing
And our love's dyin', know I can't fight, and know I

What do, what do you need from me? (What do, what do, what-what?)
Why do you put this fear in me? (What do, what do, what-what-what?)

Try and take me, forever changing
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby

So I'm done tryin', no more nights cryin'
No more white-lyin', I can't keep pryin'
At the small details and bad people I
And the needle, you stuck in my skin

What do, what do you need from me? (What do, what do, what-what?)
Why do you put this fear in me? (What do, what do, what-what-what?)

Try and take me, forever changing
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby

Try and take me, forever changing
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby

I thought that we could grow
I guess you'll do that on your own
You made me hate you to the bone
But you'll always feel like home
Home (home)

grandpas interlude

All ready, go ahead
They told me a man, who was desperate, in his search for true love
But while on his quest, he was encountered by the question of, "What is love?"
Is it truly a cause of happiness or the weakness to mankind
And the cause of pain beyond measure?
Do you have any feelin'?
Or an excuse for you to finally, the void
That you have constantly tried to fill for your whole life?
All questions neither of us have the answer to
So, before we, uh, you told me 'bout E3
Understand that you and him are just the same, blind by love
And what's in front of you, and so, your story begins

old me

So many missed calls, too many mistakes
This girl in my bed say she from LA
I told her come over, she said it's too late
But you know the story, she slid anyway

I told you that it feels like I don't even know you
She said, "E3, I miss the old you"
I said that's something you'll get used to (used to, yeah)
(That's something you'll get used to)
(Something you'll get used to)

I know that you think you want it
But, baby, let me tell you something
Not saying that you won't get dropped quick
But it's not a forever topic

So, let's just get acquainted, acquainted
She only love me 'cause I'm famous, famous
So, baby let's get acquainted, acquainted
Maybe, baby

You stayed out for hours, we talked on the phone
You bitched she complained 'bout the things I do wrong
Can't talk to her about it, put it in a song
I can't stand this girl, she won't leave me alone
So I rolled me a J, turn off my phone
Not gonna spiral, for that I'm too grown
Stooped to your level, stop calling my f*cking phone

I told you I swear that I don't even know you
She said, "E3, I miss the old you"
I said this is something you'll get used to (you'll get used to)

Let's just get acquainted, baby
She only love me 'cause I'm famous, famous
So baby, let's get acquainted, acquainted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, maybe
So let's just get acquainted, acquainted
She only love me 'cause I'm famous, famous
So baby, let's get acquainted, acquainted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, maybe

Now that we're over, I hope that you know
I'm wasting your time by leading you on
Girl you were a blessing, shit you made this song
Took away my depression, girl you were my bong
But after all these years, I still think you're wrong
Her lips taste like candy, her blood is so cold
Stooped to your level, stop calling my f*cking phone

I told you that I swear I don't even know you
She said, "E3, I miss the old you"
I said this is something you'll get used to

So let's just get acquainted, baby
She only love me 'cause I'm famous, famous
So baby, let's get acquainted, acquainted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, maybe
So let's just get acquainted, acquainted
She only love me 'cause I'm famous, famous
So baby, let's get acquainted, acquainted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Baby, maybe

like nah

Woke up in pain, my head hurt
A vice is my guilty pleasure
The condom still on the dresser
Yeah, on the dresser
We pulled in here right after midnight
I pulled out like some time before nine
And I swear that this was the last time
But it's not the last time

I'm here countin' all my days and
Wake up feelin' jaded
One less conversation
Like nah, nah, nah
My time is runnin' vacant
Woke up in a daze and
Sick of all the changes
Like nah, nah, nah
Like nah, nah, nah

She said, "Come get it right back" (yeah, yeah)
Slow down, don't go too fast
I know shit don't always last (yeah, yeah)
No breaks, all gas
She swear I'm horny, bitch, I'm not brass
Is findin' true love too much to ask? (Yeah, yeah)
But you need a tutor, go back to class
Don't know what romance, know what love is

I'm here countin' all my days and
Wake up feelin' jaded
One less conversation
Like nah, nah, nah
My time is runnin' vacant
Woke up in a daze and
Sick of all the changes
Like nah, nah, nah

Baby, you can make it better, better
Build me up to break me down
She knows that I'll make it wetter, wetter
If I ever come around

I'm here countin' all my days and
Wake up feelin' jaded
One less conversation
Like nah, nah, nah
My time is runnin' vacant
Woke up in a daze and
Sick of all the changes
Like nah, nah, nah
Like nah, nah, nah

hate how much

Tell me why I shouldn't shouldn't block you
I'm not myself when I'm around you
Know I hate your friends but they surround you
And I heard 'round town that you were bad news
Wish I didn't give you my all
And got something so small in return
But it wasn't your fault
'Cause you didn't ever know your worth

Hate how much I like you (I hate that shit)
How much we fight, too
Can't say what I might do (I hate that shit)
'Cause it's hard to spite you
Hate how much I like you (I hate that shit)
Even though you're bad news
Can't say what I might do (I hate that shit)
But I know I want you

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (know I hate that shit, know I hate that shit)

And I know that things are messy
Yes I know that I've been busy, of late
We broke up for like the fourth time (fourth time)
Because you said I can't communicate
(And you make me say)

Hate how much I like you (I hate that shit)
Even though you're bad news
Can't say what I might do (get off my dick)
But I know I want you

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la (I hate that shit)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Hate how much I like you (I hate that shit)
How much we fight, too
Can't say what I might do (I hate that shit)
'Cause it's hard to spite you
Hate how much I like you (I hate that shit)
Even though you're bad news
Can't say what I might do (I hate that shit)

ready for you

I just go off in the booth, tryna live my truth
Never forgot my dad face, when he said, "I'm proud of you"
Now we on the road (oh, yeah), in the Sprinter not a coupe (skrrt skrrt)
Logo on the headrest, yeah, that's what you're supposed to do
But this feeling new to me (it's me), it could fade soon (it fades)
There were times I really wished I didn't have to hear the bad news (bad news)
South Carolina, summers don't feel the same without you (same without you)
Really cry when I make songs, but I try to play it cool (try to play it cool)
So I ride head out the window, playin' limbo with the wind (limbo with the wind)
Clear my mind out, need a tea break, I've been burning out again (burning out again)
Mama said, "Keep an eye out, no, not everyone your friend" (everyone note your friend)
See my name on Billboard, yeah, before the year ends

All this waitin', contemplatin'
I've been changin' for you
(I hope you noticed)
Life's been crazy, risks I'm takin'
I think I'm ready for you

Man, this shit is all new, the light shines through
Got angels above me sayin' "Don't worry, see you soon" (goddamn)
Ain't think I'd be in functions where I'd have to wear a suit
Graduated twenty-one (oh, yeah), barely got through twenty-two (oh, yeah)
Nineteen in the club (nineteen), I'm just tryna go home
Never really at the crib (nah), never get time to be alone
Always with my friends, can't be on my own (can't get to)
Mama told me "Eat", put some meat on these bones
I've been ridin' 'round, 'round, 'round (skrrt)
Runnin' red lights on the road when I'm tryna find a way out of this town
By now I thought that I would love myself
I'll walk through the fire, but I need your help 'cause

All this waitin', contemplatin'
I've been changin' for you
(I hope you noticed)
Life's been crazy, risks I'm takin'
I think I'm ready for you

Hey E3, this is your Mimi
I was just thinking about you
And I know you working on your album right now
But I just can't wait to hear from you or see you or touch you, hug you
I love you so much
And I am so proud of you E3
You've done a awesome job
And I know you gon' be the winner at the end
Mimi loves you
Call me when you get time
Bye, bye
