Dessa - "I Already Like You"

Godsend

VERSE 1
Running water
Standing wave
I’m looking at what must be your pet hurricane
Got you so spun
No break from the rain
Her roof held off your floor by just a trembling windowpane
Maybe that ringing in your ears
Is just her bell around your neck
And with a smoke ring on her finger
She goes and signals for the check
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

VERSE 2
Her double take
And single give
She’s out of pocket
Running numbers—not my business
But I can see how broke you’re going
Every time I visit
This life of yours passing just-just as fast as she can live it
Dolce & Gabanna
Sodom and Gomorrah
Broken link in bio
Can’t tell the hunger from the boredom anymore

BRIDGE
You can’t save your youth
For later, so
Take all you that you can carry and
Time is on nobody’s side

CHORUS
It looks like she loved you to pieces
Seems she’s been having the time of your life.
It looks like she loved you to pieces
But time
Is on nobody’s side

OUTRO CHORUS
It’s not too late
Til you say it is
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this
I’ll be your yes among no’s
It’s not too late,
Til you say it is
I’ll be your yes among no’s
Kingdoms come, kingdoms go
You don’t have to be brave
To lift your face to this

Dessa - "LYTP"

Yeah, I'm wasted 
Chemicals dripping down my spine 
I said, yeah, I'm wasted 

All I want is sex 
or internet pornography 
or something violent 
anything to battle this monotony 
I'm from the land of the vacant 
the quarry of the brainless 
And my story can be named as 
Give me death or get me wasted 
Give me freedom or I'll make it 
If it's cheap and you're paying 
And, no, there are no friends in this 
Just a common enemy, boredom, the nemesis 
I used to be smart, they told me 
And I'd respond, stop bringing up the old me 
but my tongue would stumble and could not make words for me 
I guess I'm young and I'm dumb 
I am an echo of who I did not become 
A shadow of someone you thought I was 
But this body is fuckin' mine 
I poison it, that's fuckin' right 
You can blame that on me 
And my want to be free 
My want to be gone 
I want the ugly 
I want to throw mud on a masterpiece 
I'd like to fuck during mass and see 
If I'll be disrupted by lightening 

I'm the cost of the sameness 
I'm the dazed and the lost and the.. 

Yeah, I'm wasted 
I got this place drippin' down my spine 
I said, yeah, I'm wasted 
I got this place dripping down my spine 
I said, yeah, I'm wasted 

Let me strip you naked 
And use your body to masturbate with 
'Cause high off your skin 
I'll forget who I am 
Maybe forget who I could have been 
I'm always running from something' 
I wasted my mind 
I'm a frankenstein 
I'm what the future and past would look like if they intertwined 
I'm you and I combined 
I'm everything that I've read online 
I'm nobody and everyone 
I am God and I am Beelzebub 
Oh, this boredom is the plague that got us 
I thought, as all this vomit launched and stained the carpet 
and the hash was passed and pills we had 
were broken down by stomach acid 
the grays that filled our lives 
would become greens and blues and violets 
And my papa is the internet 
He taught me almost everything that I know 
from my favorite music to sex 
to everything that's 
under the sun 
but I'm too fucked up to see what could be done 
to what I could be 
the impact I could make upon history 
the fact that I could change everything 

I'm the cost of the sameness 
I'm the dazed and the lost and the.. 

Yeah, I'm wasted 
Yeah, I'm wasted 

But I'm in love with my wasted youth

Wasteland

Real luxe… stays cold.  

얼어붙은 공기 속 내 걸음은 steady  
불꽃 대신 차가운 결로 승부해 ready  
겉으론 calm, 속은 razor-line finesse  
너의 눈엔 안 보여도 나는 위에  
시간을 깎아 만든 품질, 그게 나야  

Touch the silence, 얼음 속의 glow  
보이지 않는 crown, 너흰 몰라 그 flow  

Icy on the outside — luxury inside  
네가 못 본 결로 나는 game을 뒤집어  
Invisible quality, can’t deny  
한 번 맛보면 벗어날 수 없어 my cold style  

속도 올려, 숨결도 못 따라올 만큼  
말 대신 vibe로 모든 걸 정리해, clean cut  
높아지는 BPM 위에 난 미끄러지듯 glide  
불필요한 noise는 다 밖으로 slide  
진짜 가치는 보여주지 않고도 압도해  

Touch the silence, 얼음 속의 glow  
보이지 않는 crown, 너흰 몰라 그 flow  

Icy on the outside — luxury inside  
네가 못 본 결로 나는 game을 뒤집어  
Invisible quality, can’t deny  
한 번 맛보면 벗어날 수 없어 my cold style  

Slow burn? No — fast cut, clean line  
Time is the luxury — all mine  

Icy on the outside — luxury inside  
네가 못 본 결로 나는 game을 뒤집어  
Invisible quality, can’t deny  
한 번 맛보면 벗어날 수 없어 my cold style  

Cold… but you fall every time  

Invisible. Untouchable.  

Icy on the outside

Lyrics:

I had a dream since a lil boy
Counting them racks since a lil boy
I came up been real sick like a ill boy
VVS they all in the grill boy
Catching passes like I'm in the field boy
Playing bitties like they in my Gameboy
I grew up from a lil to a big boy
I grew up from a lil to a big boy
Never front I ain't care bout the fame boy
If you hate on the grind you a lame boy
I stayed down ain't get played like a decoy
Always real I ain't front for a deal boy
Never front I ain't care bout the fame boy
If you hate on the grind you a lame boy
I stayed down ain't get played like a decoy
Always real I ain't front for a deal boy

Filling my verses with all of this pain
Crossover dribble I'm all in the paint
Feel like a kid how I play in the rain
Know whatever I'm doing I do it full pace
Got a lil bittie she all on my phone
But I'm riding solo say leave me alone
Just know when I started, was all by myself
Finna write/right all my wrongs gonna break through the spell
Call from my brodie ship packs through the mail
Back in my class they just say show and tell
So I brought my mind and nine and my scale
Really hard headed but you know these tracks imma nail
When I'm all in it I don't mean to flex I sail
Really one man one handed song I'm Odell
Open waters I'm just dreaming n scheming the holy grail
Open waters I'm just dreaming n scheming the holy grail well

Two puffs
Swear I'm packing too much dope
Too much shawty
Back got too much woah

I might roll up
In a gati pouring my 4
Time gone slow up
Say wanna fuck before the show

I had a dream since a lil boy
Counting them racks since a lil boy
I came up been real sick like a ill boy
VVS they all in the grill boy
Catching passes like I'm in the field boy
Playing bitties like they in my Gameboy
I grew up from a lil to a big boy
I grew up from a lil to a big boy
Never front I ain't care bout the fame boy
If you hate on the grind you a lame boy
I stayed down ain't get played like a decoy
Always real I ain't front for a deal boy
Never front I ain't care bout the fame boy
If you hate on the grind you a lame boy
I stayed down ain't get played like a decoy
Always real I ain't front for a deal boy, deal boy
