  • I gotta be by myself
    Gotta be by myself this time

    In the backseat screaming out loud (ho)
    In the backseat screaming out (ho)
    Ash is young, attractive
    Handsome bachelor, awesome rapper
    Got a knack for, vernacular
    When I perform, spectacular
    I'll have any girl that I want
    I'm a take the girl in the front
    Boobs bounce when I tell the crowd jump
    Honey come backstage I just wanna have fun, but
    I'm too young to be locked down, not now
    Need a new car, drive around with the top down
    New broad with a bra the top down
    Chilling in the backseat screaming out loud

    She wants to be my lady
    But I don't see her
    She wants to be my lady
    But I'm a free bird

    I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
    I gotta fly by myself, go get high myself this time

    The cycle is Shawn Michaels (heartbreak),
    And yeah I like you but not enough to wife you
    You say I'm nice, true, and you think I'm the right dude
    But there's another girl just like you (like who?)

    And on the road, 'nother night, 'nother show
    New e-vent in a new time zone
    And the live show is so mind-blowin
    And it's my show so you know I'm blown (you know)

    No text's gonna give me head
    Long distance just ain't my thing
    Young single don't need no ring
    I'm a free man now I don't need no strings, sing

    She wants to be my lady
    But I don't see her
    She wants to be my lady
    But I'm a free bird

    I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
    I gotta fly by myself, Go get high myself this time

    If you're cool with nights at the pool
    Jacuzzi's and groupies, boobies and booze
    And no rules, I'm only 22
    I need to watch football and hang with a crew
    But if you don't get mad when I get fat
    Cause all I do is eat drink smoke weed and rap
    And play Madden, then dag
    You're pretty rad and I take it all back, come on

    She wants to be my lady
    But I don't see her
    She wants to be my lady
    But I'm a free bird

    I gotta be by myself, gotta be by myself this time
    I gotta fly by myself, Go get high myself this time

    Just keep clapping the hands, it feels good
    Feels nice and warm in here right now
    I'm feeling free
    If you feel free clap your hands
