  • My neighbors keep gettin' murdered so we sleep with the alarm on
    Bedroom filled with Nike SBs and Comme de Garcons
    Starin' at the ceiling listening to soul father
    Tryna' make the world pay me daily like Carson

    My mom say I need to put on weight like Kelly Clarkson
    She said I work like a soldier steady marchin'
    Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right
    Tryna' keep it steady like Elizabeth Ardon

    Apartments, guard with a garden
    Money in the jeans, car key in the cardigan
    When I was a kid I wished that I could be in on ya
    Every time my father disregarded an argument

    Wishing I was sitting on the move
    Watching videos, wishing I was living on the shoe
    With designer shoes, doing things I didn't wanna do
    Wishing I could see the world through a different point of view

    [Chorus]
    Leave your baggage at the stairs,
    And your worries at the door,
    You don't have to think about problems any more
    (I can make you believe in anything)
    Uh, I know that everything's changed,
    But I'm under this illusion just so I don't go insane
    (I can make you believe in anything)

    Uh, you ever been to fed up, to get up
    Or wish you had a huge shredder for a few letters
    Dreaming up these stories of these all new adventures
    Like Lulu Batons on a new Cinderella

    Check the sense of humor on the new rumors getting better
    I'm a teach you a lesson, and I don't mean a lecture
    'Cause only fake dudes get jealous
    So we'll never let a dude get near us

    'Cause we're up with the stars, somewhere out of space
    'Cause on the underground I felt so outta place
    I got Tom, Dick and Harry all looking in my face
    I know they wanna say 'safe' but, don't know how to say it

    Bad body language, I don't understand it
    When they see Patrick, then they turn to gangsters,
    Ha ha, and that's a passage from my mantra
    I've started reading from a whole different chapter

    [Chorus]

    I can make you,
    I can make you,
    I can make you,
    Believe in anything

    I can make you,
    I can make you,
    I can make you,
    Believe in anything Writer/s: ALEXANDER WILLIAM SHUCKBURGH, JOHN HILL, LUKE JAMES STEELE, PATRICK JUNIOR CHUKWUEMKA OKOGWU, SAM FRANK
