Mackeeper // Believe You Me
Friday, October 16th.
01VisionMilesIf I was a gossip//And you were the topic//Then I would defend ya//And tell ’em to stop itI would take you to Target//And do all your shopping//I would wash up your dishes//And clean out your closetWithout even a thought//Or that much of a fuss//I keep closing my eyes//Bend my knees and I jumpMiles & NickAw, last night figured it out//Last night I had a vision//I saw what it was about//I saw what I was missing//A man like me, never doubt//A man in my position//Belief is always around//Believes in superstitionMilesI’ll give you my hoodie//Or knit you a sweater//I’ll let you pick the movie//I’m cool with whateverI’m a natural talker//I don’t have a filter//But if you were my girlfriend//I’d learn to be chiller, babeWithout even a thought//Or that much of a fuss//I keep closing my eyes//Bend my knees and I jumpMiles & NickAw, last night figured it out//Last night I had a vision//I saw what it was about//I saw what I was missing//A man like me, never doubt//A man in my position//Belief is always around//Believes in superstitionGet daddy on the line//Get daddy on the line//Get daddy on the line//Get daddy on the line
02Holy MosesI’d like to dedicate tonight//To you and yours, I mean it//Let’s all congratulate the bride//On such a pleasant eveningLately I’ve had a vacant vibe//In vain I felt defeated//But baby, you could change my life//I finally found a reason, yeahI know it sounds so bogus//Self-hypnosis//Hocus pocus, yeahI tend to eat the lotus//Let me focus//Holy Moses, yeahAlright, I’ll sign//Show me the dotted line//I got a tiny box with a diamond inside//Open wide, open wide//I’ll swallow all my pride//I’ll eat the crow alive//I’ll kill the parasite//Deep inside, deep insideI’m hopelessly devoted to the high//I’m tweaking out alone//Let my body overload//I’m licking all the toads//I’m cracking all the codes//I’ll tell you what I know//R-r-rock the microphoneI’d like to dedicate tonight//To you and yours, I mean it//Let’s all congratulate the bride//On such a pleasant eveningLately I’ve had a vacant vibe//In vain I felt defeated//But baby, you could change my life//I finally found a reason, yeahI know it sounds so bogus//Self-hypnosis//Hocus pocus, yeahI tend to eat the lotus//Let me focus//Holy Moses, yeah
03Truth or DareI might//Be a difficult kind of guy//Impish and impolite//Well, that’s how I’ve been described//And maybe they’re not not rightSo I’m giving you my green light//I like when you cross the line//You’re probably soft inside//But I promise you I won’t biteFighting me tooth and nail//Bite me and pull my hair//Prove to me you don’t care//Beat me in truth or dareWrap it and squeeze it tight//Peas or a bag of ice//Call it a two-way tie//You and IEverything heals in time//Cuz apparently I’m alive//So if I was you I’d try//To bleed me until I’m dryFighting me tooth and nail//Bite me and pull my hair//Prove to me you don’t care//Beat me in truth or dareI thrive off negativity//Anything negative, I’m for itThat was the last time//Better be the last timeThat was the last time//Better be the last time//That was the last time, last timeLast time//That was the last time//Better be the last time//That was the last time, last time
