Lil Nas X - MONTERO Album Lyrics

I caught it bad just today
You hit me with a call to your place
Ain't been out in a while anyway
Was hoping I could catch you throwin' smiles at my face
Romantic talking? You don't even have to try
You're cute enough to f*ck with me tonight
Lookin' at the table, all I see is weed and white
Baby, you livin' the life, but nigga, you ain't living right

Cocaine and drinking wit' your friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can

Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way, like

Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm

Ayy, ayy
I wanna sell what you're buying
I wanna feel on your ass in Hawaii
I want that jet lag from f*ckin' and flyin'
Shoot a child in your mouth while I'm ridin'
Oh-oh, why me?
A sign of the times every time that I speak
A dime and a nine, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline, God was shining on me
Now I can't leave
And now I'm actin' hella elite
Never want the niggas that's in my league
I want to f*ck the ones I envy, I envy

Cocaine and drinking wit' your friends
You live in the dark, boy, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to sin
If Eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can

Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me in the morning
I'll be on the way
Call me when you want
Call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way, (oh) like

Call me by your name
Tell me you love me in private
Call me by your name
I do not care if you lying

(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Breaker, breaker, 911
Somebody come get this bitch
Thinkin' you a star on the rise, you got time to reply
Don't lie, you can hit my shit
You can lend me five, lil' nigga, on the side, lil' nigga
Couple thou', need to fix my whip
How you switch sides on a nigga who was down with you, nigga?
You a fraud, just a fib, my nig', my nig', uh

Oh
You know I never did you wrong
Even though I'm right here by the phone, dawg
You know you never used to call
Keep it that way now

I'll treat you like you're dead right now
I'm on your head right now
You wanna f*ck with me so bad right now
Well, now you can't right now, oh

2018, I was in my sister's house the whole summer (yeah)
Songs wasn't doing numbers (yeah)
Whole life was going under
Left school, then my dad and I had a face to face in Atlanta
He said, "It's one in a million chance, son"
I told him, "Daddy, I am that one", uh, uh
I ain't never need 'em, huh
I ain't never need no nigga, uh
I ain't never need no feature
If I didn't blow, I woulda died tryna be here
If it didn't go, suicide, wouldn't be here
Now they all come around like they been here
When you get this rich and famous everybody come up to you singin'

Hallelujah
How'd you do it?
You been on my mind
You been runnin' through it, yeah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah
How'd you do it? (How'd you do it?)

Keep it that way now

I'll treat you like you're dead right now
I'm on your head right now
You wanna f*ck with me so bad right now
Well, now you can't right now, oh

Mama told me she was gon' stop f*ckin' 'round with that nigga ('round with that nigga)
Told me she was clean, but I'm knowin' that her ass a deceiver
My mama told me that she love me, don't believe her
When she get drunk, she hit me up, mad with a fever like whoa
You ain't even all that pretty
You ain't even all that, nigga
You ain't helpin' out with me, God won't forgive you
Shit
You ain't even all that pretty
You ain't even all that, nigga
You ain't helpin' out with me, God won't forgive you
(Shit, shit, shit, damn, damn)

You know I never did you wrong
Even though I'm right here by the phone, dawg
You know you never used to call
Keep it that way now

I'll treat you like you're dead right now

[Jack Harlow]
My track record so clean, they couldn't wait to just bash me
I must be gettin' too flashy, y'all shouldn't have let the world gas me (Woo)
It's too late 'cause I'm here to stay and these girls know that I'm nasty (Mmm)
I sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek
City talkin', we takin' notes
Tell 'em all to keep makin' posts
Wish he could, but he can't get close
OG so proud of me that he chokin' up while he makin' toasts
I'm the type that you can't control, said I would, then I made it so
I don't clear up rumors (Ayy), where's y'all sense of humor? (Ayy)
I'm done makin' jokes 'cause they got old like baby boomers
Turned my haters to consumers, I make vets feel like they juniors (Juniors)
Say your time is comin' soon, but just like Oklahoma (Mmm)
Mine is comin' sooner (Mmm), I'm just a late bloomer (Mmm)
I didn't peak in high school, I'm still out here gettin' cuter (Woo)
All these social networks and computers
Got these pussies walkin' 'round like they ain't losers

[Lil Nas X]
I told you long ago on the road
I got what they waiting for (I got what they waiting for)
I don't run from nothing, dog
Get your soldiers, tell 'em I ain't layin' low (Bitch, I ain't runnin' from nowhere)
You was never really rooting for me anyway
When I'm back up at the top, I wanna hear you say
He don't run from nothin', dog
Get your soldiers, tell 'em that the break is over

[Lil Nas X]
Yeah
I'm the industry baby, mmm
I'm the industry baby
Yeah

(One, two, three, four)



Need a boy who can cuddle with me all night

Keep me warm, love me long, be my sunlight

Tell me lies, we can argue, we can fight

Yeah, we did it before, but we'll do it tonight

That afro black boy with the gold teeth

He dark skin looking at me like he know me

I wonder if he got the G or the B

Let me find out and see, he comin' over to me, yeah



These days I'm way too lonely

I'm missin' out, I know

These days I'm way too alone

And I'm known for givin' love away but



I want (ah)

Someone to love me

I need (ah)

Someone who needs me

'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night

And it's just me and my dreams

So I want (ah)

Someone to love

That's what I f*ckin' want



Look

You know it's harder to find in these times

But I got nothin' but love on my mind (my mind)

I need a baby while I'm in my prime

Need an adversary to my down and weary

Like tell me, "That's life" when I'm stressin' at night

Be like, "You'll be okay" and, "Everything is alright," uh

Love me or nothin' 'cause I'm not wanting anything

But your loving, your body, and a little bit of your brain



These days I'm way too lonely

I'm missin' out, I know

These days I'm way too alone

And I'm known for givin' love away but



I want (ah)

Someone to love me

I need (ah)

Someone who needs me

'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night

And it's just me and my dreams

So I want (ah)

Someone to love

That's what I f*ckin' want



I want (ah)

Someone to love me

I need (ah)

Someone who needs me

'Cause it don't feel right when it's late at night

And it's just me and my dreams

So I want (ah)

Someone to love

That's what I f*ckin' want

I been drivin' a lot
Just drivin' in life
With no actual direction
Not heading towards any specific place
And it's like, for who?
Is it for me?
Am I happy?
(I like that sound)
I'm not sure (I'm not sure)
I'm, sure

[feat. Doja Cat]

Tomorrow is my day off (Okay)
All them rehеarsals got me tight, look at the payoff (Okay)
And now my body look like somеthing you'd eat cake off
I just got my veneers, now bitches wanna rip they face up
But you thought you'd have a chance after you wanna disrespect me?
Let him apologize, and eat it in a Bentley
He named my right cheek Jennifer and left one Lopez
Can't call me stupid with this big ol' f*ckin' forehead
Motherf*cker, let me

All the things that you do just to get your face to show
Oh, you think you big shit, big pimpin'? Let me know
Ain't the next big thing, you the next thing to go
Now, can you prove yourself? Everybody waitin'
I'm just being real, it's 'cause somebody hatin'

Tell me, are you feeling down?
Are you happy?
Do your dreams still seem in-bound?
Tell me, are we finished now?
'Cause every time you leave, you find a way to come back around

I need time to get up and get off the floor
I need time to realize that I can't be yours
I need time to give up just like before
I love it how you know I'll only come right back for more

My God, you're an angel
I only see you in your halo
I was hoping we could stay close
But we no longer sing the same notes

I remember when I met you
Thought the universe sent you
Thought you was someone I could vent to
So I hit you like what you getting into?

I need time to get up and get off the floor
I need time to realize that I can't be yours
I need time to give up just like before
I love it how you know I'll only come right back for more

Why I thought it was forever?
I only see you maybe never
Why I thought we'd be together
When you treat it like whatever

Yeah, yeah, yeah
My love for falling down
Playing the victim when all my envisionings
Come slowly tumbling down
Putting me back on that ground

I remember when I met you
Thought the universe sent you
Thought you was someone I could vent to
So I hit you like what you getting into?

I need time to get up and get off the floor
I need time to realize that I can't be yours
I need time to give up just like before
I love it how you know I'll only come right back for more

Tell me, are you feeling down?
Are you happy?
Do your dreams still seem inbound?
Tell me, are we finished now?
'Cause every time you leave, you find a way to come back around

[Nessly]

Woke up on the floor
Oh, this plastic bed don't blow up no more
In this broken home
Everyone becomes predictable

Oh, sometimes you're angry
Sometimes you're hurting
Sometimes you're all alone
Sometimes I'm anxious
Sometimes it makes me
Feel like there's only now

I've been livin' at my lowest, it's safe to say
Hope my little bit of hope don't fade away
I've been livin' on an island made from faith
Can't go runnin' back to home, I can't face her face

(Oh)
Finally grown (grown)
Ain't nothin' like I hoped it would be
Out on my own (own)
I'm floatin' in an oceanless sea
Could I be wrong? (Wrong)
Was everybody right about me?
Scary things in my head
I can't dream, and I just

Woke up on the floor
Oh, this plastic bed don't blow up no more (ooh)
In this broken home
Everyone becomes predictable

Oh, sometimes you're angry
Sometimes you're hurting
Sometimes you're all alone
Sometimes I'm anxious
Sometimes it makes me
Feel like there's only now

I've been livin' at my lowest, it's safe to say
Hope my little bit of hope don't fade away
I've been livin' on an island made from faith
Can't go runnin' back to home, I can't face her face

(Ooh)
(Ooh)

I wanna run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun

I'd rather run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun

You need an instant ease
From your life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face

I know that you want to cry
But it's much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who threw dirt on your name

Since ten, I been feeling lonely
Had friends but they was picking on me
Always thinking why my lips so big
Was I too dark? Can they sense my fears?

These gay thoughts would always haunt me
I prayed God would take it from me
It's hard for you when you're fighting
And nobody knows it when you're silent

I'd be by the phone
Stanning Nicki morning into dawn
Only place I felt like I belonged
Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?

And I'm happy by the way
That I made that jump, that leap of faith
I'm happy that it all worked out for me
I'ma make my fans so proud of me (oh)

I wanna run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun

I'd rather run away
Don't wanna lie, I don't want a life
Send me a gun
And I'll see the sun

You need an instant ease
From your life where you got plenty
Of every hurt and heartbreak
You just take it all to the face

I know that you want to cry
But it's much more to life than dying
Over your past mistakes
And people who threw dirt on your name

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
No more

Hello, old friend from the road
I wanted to write a note
To let you know that all in all, it ain't all what it seems
I feel like I've hit a low
One I've never hit before
Lately I've been feeling small as the salt in the sea

Oh, it's so much to do in so little of time
I feel like I fell a little behind
Hodo, Hodo, Hodo
It seems so out of reach, the place I want to be
Whoever thought I'd get there anyway
Hodo, Hodo, Hodo

I find it hard to get
Way too hard to live
Tell me what you know
Now, before I go

Oh, Blue
I wrote for you
To say I'm gonna run away from home
Oh, Blue
I love you too
But, today I'm gonna run away from home

Oh, I weep through the night, can't find a love
Who loves me the same or as much as you do
Hodo, Hodo, Hodo
Oh, I reach out my hand, hoping that they'll see
I'm more than what everyone tells me
Hodo, Hodo, Hodo

See, I'm gettin' tired of the way I've been livin'
I'd rather die than to live with these feelings
Stuck in this world where there's so much to prove
Every win gives you more room to lose
It's too many ups and downs on the ride
I spent inordinate 'mounts of time
Trapped in a lonely, loner life
Lookin' for love where I'm denied

I find it hard to get
Way too hard to live
Tell me what you know
Now, before I go

Oh, Blue
I wrote for you
To say I'm gonna run away from home
Oh, Blue
I love you too
But, today I'm gonna run away from home

Away from home
Oh, oh
Today I'm gonna run away
Today I'm gonna run away

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

If I say so, know they gon' ride
I know G's, and you know they ain't nice
If I pop up, I'ma want it, but I get by
Tell the devil I can't have him inside
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright

I smoked myself to sleep, I'm sad
I think I'm feelin' lonely
Took one too many shots last night
And I spent all my money
Started thinkin', "Am I stupid to be funny
Over things that's been hauntin' me all my life?"
And I'm f*ckin' living proof that if you want it
You can have anything right before your eyes

And the award goes to Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X, Lil Nas X
Lil Nas X, Lil Nas X
The number one song on the Billboard Hot 100
"Call Me By Your Name," by Lil Nas X

I wanted fame and I wanted riches
Wanted happiness, wanted forgiveness
Started focusin' on all these wishes
Crazy how this shit come to fruition
I've done things in my past I'm sorry for
So please don't hold me
Old people in my life should know that
I am not the old me

If I say so, know they gon' ride (gon' ride)
I know G's, and you know they ain't nice
If I pop up, I'ma want it, but I get by (get by)
Tell the devil I can't have him inside
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

All of my feelings are gone
I left 'em all on the floor
Man, who's to blame if you don't love me no more?
No, I don't mind, just take whatever you want

Why don't you just take what you want from me?
I think you should take what you want and leave
Why don't you just take what you want from me?
I think you should take what you want and leave

What you want from me? Yeah
What you want from me? Yeah

Get yourself an Adderall
Then throw me up against the wall
And kick me when I have to crawl
Ooh, I love it when you show no love at all
You know I can be your part-time lover
Our scars, they'll dance with each other
I can be your part-time lover
Our scars, they'll dance with each other

Why don't you just take what you want from me?
I think you should take what you want and leave
Why don't you just take what you want from me?
I think you should take what you want and leave

What you want from me? Yeah
What you want from me? Yeah

You're changin'
You're changin' every day
You played me
I let you win again
You're changin'
You're changin' every day
And you're takin'
You're takin' everything

Every song
Every dream filled with hell from beyond
As I'm sinkin', I relive the story
Every try
Every breakthrough and every cry
As I'm sinkin', I relive the story

Oh, never forget me
And everything I've done
Oh, never forget me
Like I'm your favorite song
I'm fadin' replayin'
These thoughts I thought while sinkin' down
Oh, never forget me
And everything I've done

Tears running dry
Shattered inside, but I still gotta smile
As I'm sinkin', I relive the story
Glitter comes off
Battered and blue, but I gotta go on
As I'm singing, I rewrite my story

Oh, never forget me
And everything I've done
Oh, never forget me
Like I'm your favorite song
I'm fadin' (fadin') replayin' (mm)
These thoughts I thought while sinkin' down
Oh, never forget me
And everything I've done
