Demos After Dark ft. Bobbycrush Lyrics

Too busy living life, lost track of time

Said I'd be right back, save my place in line

Now I gotta face the facts, cause the blame is mine

Yeah, the blame is mine

Too focused on success, I can't settle down

But my head is getting heavy, trying to hold the crown

Feel like it's just me in this mad old town

I walk daily past my previous homes

Ten years of all this dust can add a sepia tone

It was chocolate blunt wraps and Spinrilla

I was busy learning bout the Wu and J Dilla

I was a history student, I combed through it for takes

On how to represent my values over samples and breaks

Had to peek behind the curtain just to see if I want it

And if I got it, I was certain I could honor the greats

And now I know it's not a spotlight

Used to think it was a hustle, but it's not quite

Used to think that I was rushing for the fame and the set

I don't wanna take a check unless the font right

I got veterans on my speed dial, tend to my family in the meanwhile

The thing about a garden, it only grows when the heat mild

Let it all chill for a second, take a breath

Life can pass you by while you're placing bets

Now it's nothing in the way

I'ma hit the button till there's nothing left to say

Looking like a glutton, always something on my plate

I've been keeping busy, I've been keeping to my ways

I'm on the beaches, I'm at the park

I been up with Bobby mixing demos after dark

Nodding to some birdsong, started as a lark

Lately it's occurring that I'm meeting every mark

Cause I'd rather be lonely than broke, that shit is no joke

And a toke is the only time I'll tolerate all the smoke

Trouble seeing through the haze, but double screens on all my plays

Mapping me would take you days, need an app to find your ways

Out, gifted with my mouth, I'm just chasing wealth

While these kids are chasing clout

But I'm the one without a spouse, still living at my parents' house

Trapped by comfort like a mouse, I'm coming unbuttoned like a blouse

You can't put a price on peace of mind

But I'd like to see you try

Popping tags with all my time

Got me feeling like a mime

Got me feeling like the Joker

But if I started something I'ma see it till it's over

I need closure, exposure

And maybe more composure

But I ain't slowing down, keep on marching like a soldier

Cause you don't know what you got till it's gone

And by then you're left wondering what you did wrong

All the time in the day's never finding its way back

I don't mind, it's okay, I'm forward-minded today

Cause you don't know what you got till it's good

And you never handle things the way that you should

And then it's all over, and you never get disclosure

It'll leave you feeling sober, baby, I already know

'Cause I'm done playing games

Looking at my life, no shame

Roses in my eyes, okay

Everybody hides sometimes, I put it on the line in the page

You don't know what you got till it ends

And I didn't make the music to do it for no trend

And I don't even mean to offend

I'm just making moments with my friends now
