LYRICS
4:38 the boss is on my neck
Queen B Big Freedia LOUD up in my head 
release it, release it
Desk overloaded with bull****
Need an escape
What time is it 
It’s time to go
Pack up get in my car head to the crib
It may be 5 the day’s not over yet
This week was long and baby I’m spent 
Call up my friends let’s get lit

Money’s up, direct deposit
Vibes are right we’re going all in
Cuz It’s time to party, it’s the weekend
It’s time to party, it’s the weekend 
Rapido before it all ends
And Monday rears its ugly head again. 
So hurry up and let’s party. 

Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
So hurry up and let’s party 

Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
So hurry up and let’s party 

The dance floor’s hot I’m giving nothing less
Grooving sweating forget 'bout all the stress
release it release it
My phones on D.N.D. and I ain’t pressed 
I’ll turn it back on when I’m feeling it

Money’s up direct deposit
Vibes are right we’re going all in
Cuz It’s time to party it’s the weekend 
It’s time to party it’s the weekend 
Rapido before it all ends
And Monday rears its ugly head again. 
So hurry up and let’s party

Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
So hurry up and let’s party 

Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
Boom boom ba doompa Let’s party
So hurry up and let’s party 

DJ Turn It Up
Feel the bass
Vibrations highs
Wine ya waist
Raise a glass
Toast it High
To a stress free life
Don't let it go to waste. 
 
(dance break)

Come on let’s party it’s the weekend 
Keep on dancin’ it’s not over yet.
So hurry up and let’s party
Come on let’s party it’s the weekend 
Keep on dancin’ it’s not over yet. 
So hurry up and let’s party

LYRICS:
Let them misunderstand you
Let them underestimate you
You know who you are 
and if someone wants to objectify you through their own bias,  let them.
How you talk all day from the couch 
While I make it rain, stay runnin’ ya mouth
Built myself, from the ground 
It’s passion, 
No times for the games or the madness
You slept on me now you wish you didn’t 
Now your woke, gone, pour one for the driven
High flying, never look down, worth it
Next time you try to come for me, mean it
Don’t play with me 
Dont  play with me 
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t want ya energy
Keep it away from me
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t play with me
Don’t play with me 
It’s between you and me
I’ll always choose me
And that’s the way it’s gonna be.  
Don’t play with me 
Dont play with me 
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t want ya energy
Keep it away from me
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t play with me
Don’t play with me 
It’s between you and me
I’ll always choose me
And that’s the way it’s gonna be.  
The fame, public eye, truman show
You can have it 
Make sure you clear the dough
And I’ll make sure to grab it
Stacking up my bread

Billionaire rising
If you don’t go Up for me
Imma keep it 100, 
cut you out, no remorse
Chaos brings havoc 
Go head have a ball 
Keep on talking mess
Now when you come begging to me,
Ghostly
Wanna know what I’m doing,
Google’s free. 
Don’t play with me 
Dont play with me 
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t want ya energy
Keep it away from me
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t play with me
Don’t play with me 
It’s between you and me
I’ll always choose me
And that’s the way it’s gonna be.  
I might look nice and demur
Gym-netically Body right skin tight
But don’t let this cute face fool you 
If You wanna act up,
You will can be released,
On the side of messed up
Is where you can find me
you gone around
You gone find out
Go play somebody else 
Don't  keep trying me. 
Don’t play with me 
Dont play with me (Don’t Play With Me)
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t want ya energy
Keep it away from me (Away from me)
I’ll grab my peace
Don’t play with me
Don’t play with me 
It’s between you and me
I’ll always choose me 
And that’s the way it’s gonna be.

Clear Lines

Kuro Gai x PALAWN - Clear Lines

PRE-HOOK: Please don't go,
don't leave me alone. 

VERSE:   I need time and space
And no you don’t need to question it
If I say it louder maybe I’ll mean it.
My Lips say one thing
Body won’t follow through I can’t resist you.
 
CHORUS:  I, I need you go (No no don't leave me alone cuz)
we can’t keep going back and forth  (this is just a bump in the road)
Stop playing tug of war
Said I need to be alone
And I, I really need you to go, so I can grow, no juxtapose.

BRIDGE OUT/VERSE:
Why am I playing myself it’s a lie
You can’t be great without him by your side.
Scratch that reverse it and bring the shit back.
The truth is you’re greater stop thinking like that.
Why am I playing myself I’m the best.
I will be great without him what’s next,  
You cannot stop me I’m not turning back.
The real T’s I’m stronger don’t take his ass back.
 
CHORUS:  I, I need you go (no, no I need to go cuz) 
‘Cuz we can’t keep going back and forth (I can't do this no more)
Stop play tug of war
Said I need to be alone
And I, I really need you to go, so I can grow, no juxtapose.
