  • You can't even sit in peace
    'Cause all of these niggas be on you
    I'm just sayin' I can be (yeah)
    The one that you call and you talk to, girl

    I'll share my world with you
    If you're gonna waste your time (yeah)
    Then waste your time with me
    I mean, honestly
    Open your eyes and see, who's givin' you what you need

    If you're gonna waste your time
    Then waste your time with me
    You could have all the space
    More than you need
    It's no pressure, girl
    If they got time to waste (waste)
    Waste it with me

    And I ain't worried 'bout them (oh)
    Girl, you all that I see (all that I see)
    And I am who I am (oh)
    And I be where I be (where I be)
    If you ever hit me on the late night (yeah)
    I'll give you a clear mind
    Might give you some insight

    I'll share my world with you
    If you're gonna waste your time (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Then waste your time with me
    I mean, honestly
    Open your eyes and see, who's givin' you what you need

    If you're gonna waste your time
    Then waste your time with me
    You can have all the space
    More than you need
    It's no pressure, girl
    If they got time to waste (waste)
    Waste it with me

    Don't close your eyes to get away (ooh)
    Just bang my line and I'll arrange it (ooh)
    Beautiful, girl, you're stainless
    You'll be fine, I'll be painless, yeah
    All I'm drinkin' is champagne
    All you want is the same thing

    Yeah
    The Ten Thousand Building, get your ass an apartment
    Put you inside a G-Class, that's just a starter kit
    Plenty things count in life, but none of 'em is a thought of it
    New piece around my neck, it's chest games
    'Cause shorty stay with calculated moves like Beth Harmon
    Swear I'm more "Purple Rain" Prince than Prince Charmin'
    Disappointment, I stay expectin' it, the pessimist
    Gold medalist, flushed the Magnums just so they not collectin' my specimens, damn
    The way she with papi, man, you would think she's a veteran on remembrance
    Cleanin' lady sweep the room daily for all the evidence of everything I ever did
    Do they have a pool there? Do they have a gym there?
    You used to do skincare, but now you do swimwear
    Your ex-roommate got a condo that's downtown
    But she got no furniture in the crib, I been there
    Checkmate, even though you hate that I even check her
    I'll still get an E for effort
    Only time I play the back and forth is Aaliyah record
    If I let you talk first, then nobody is speakin' second
    Fluent in passive aggression, that's why you actin' dismissive
    Hearin' me out for once would require you actually listen, damn (damn)
    The boy is back, I never turned my back
    I just lapped 'em, so now all that they see is my back
    Say that then, Maybach Benz with me in the back
    When I was in Acura, I still couldn't clean up my act
    Whenever I tell the truth, you feel like you bein' attacked
    But that come with bein' attached, so how 'bout we leave it at that?

    If you're gonna waste your time
    Then waste your time with me
    You can have all the space
    More than you need
    It's no pressure, girl
    If they got time to waste (waste)
    Waste it with me Writer/s: Aubrey Graham, Chad Hugo, Christopher Wood, Pharrell Williams
