YE – FATHER Lyrics:
And hear our prayers
Please, Lord, when, whenever we pray
Father, You’ve been, You’ve been good
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
You’ve been better to us
Than we’ve been to ourselves
FatherKnow you wonder where the F he been (Where he been)
But I’m back to life like an Epi-Pen
And she still in the leopard skin
And I check me out, then check me in
See this coat, nigga?
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9 (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9 (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Father
‘Cause I look good, I smell good, I feel good (Yes)
And you sing good, and make love good
Know you wonderin’ where the F I been (F I been)
I been goin’ hard like a crack syringe (Crack syringe)
I been breakin’ bad, now I’m back again (Back again)
Gettin’ mil’ tickets, no rafflin’ (Rafflin’)
You see these kicks, nigga?
Made checks off the right steps (Right steps)
More vision than some Oakleys (Oakleys)
She used to be a lone star (Lone star)
Wakin’ up to lucies (Lucies)
Bend it back (Back it)
Back it, back it, bend it back for me (Back it)
Back, back, back it
Used to live up in the 7 (In the 7)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Always team Luther King Drive (King Drive)
Now it’s Malibu Beach (‘Bu Beach)
Used to be VLIVE (VLIVE)
Now I’m trapped at the Booby (Booby)
Father (Yeah)
Help us now (Turn me up)
Father (Damn, I been wantin’ to stay near you, but, damn, you can’t rob me)
