Steve Lacy - Gemini Rights Album Lyrics

---

Static

Baby, you got somethin' in your nose
Sniffin' that K, did you feel the hole?
Hope you find peace for yourself
New boyfriend ain't gon' fill the void
Do you even really like this track?
Take away the drugs, would you feel the noise?
More and more you try to run away
You f*cking yourself, do you feel the toy?

Uh, lookin' for a bitch 'cause I'm over boys
Would you be my girlfriend, baby?
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Somethin' turned me off
Smoking made me
'Cause I'm longing
For somethin' secure
If you had to stunt your shining
For your lover, dump that f*cker

Shoo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Shoo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Shoo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Shoo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, no

Helmet

Ooh, I'd been consumed
I'm not for sale, man, what the hell?
I been with you
And this ain't gon' last me forever

All that I can be is me and all me
Time to get out, I don't want you around
All that I can see is you without me
No, I can't scold you, however

I tried to play pretend (ooh)
Try not to see the end (ah)
But I couldn't see you the way you saw me
Now I can feel the waste on me
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me go as I'm tryna let go of you

Shoo-doo, d-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Ooh, I'll be there soon
I'm kind of sad, what should I do? (What should I do?)
Guess I'll move on
Love won't harass me forever

All that I could be is me and all me
F*ck all that nostalgia, been up on a downer
I can't make your eyes see, gon' be what it's gon' be
Don't come back around me, no, never

You were so automatic
So you know I had to have it
But lovin' you was a hazard
So I got my heart a helmet
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me go as I'm tryna let go of you

Ooh
Let me (let me)
Allow me to let go of you
Ooh
Let me
Let me (let me) go
Oh, no
Oh (oh), oh
Yeah
F*ck yeah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Mercury

(Ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)

Gemini
I'm a myth and I'm a legend
Whom never wins
And might not ever play again
Keep falling in (keep falling in, yeah)
Love so fast and back out again
Speeding
When I should ease in

Oh, I know myself, my sins
Dug my pit, then I fell in
Pulled the trigger, killed us both
Lesson learned but truth gets old

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
How can I tell if? How can I measure? (ooh, ah)
If I don't know (ooh, ah)

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (whoa)
Ba-ba-ba (ah)

I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my "I'm so sorry" text
Don't regret the choice I chose but do regret the mess I made
I see you hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight and close
Don't need long, just wanna say, "I love you and miss you the most"

Oh, I know myself, my skin
Rolling stones don't crawl back in
Daddy's faults fell down on me
Break that curse for sweet relief

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)
I don't know (ooh, ah)
How can I tell if? How can I measure? (Ooh, ah)
If I don't know (ooh, ah)

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)

Mercury running amuck in my mind
Can't tell if I'm winning or falling behind
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Venus in retrograde got me in bed
And thinkin' 'bout all of the shit that I said
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Ba-ba-ba (ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
Gemini scope give me depth 'til I'm dead
But I can't seem to get the f*ck out of my head
Well, f*ck it, I'll just cop a Porsche instead
I do as I please and you see where it lead
Guess somethin' bad ain't 'bout to happen to me
You think I'm two-faced, I can name twenty-three

My layers, all these sides
Could you stick by for the ride?
It's a thrill, and I don't even know how to feel
It might be too real
Might be too
Real, might be too real, real
I said, "Might be too"
Might, I said, "Might be too real, real"
I said, "Might be too real"

Excuse me if I lied
I forgot I said that
Can you forgive my tongue?
I'll show you where my head at
I don't think I'm the one
But I could be your girlfriend
'Til retrograde is done

Buttons

Hey, I fall in love with you
I don't know where I am
You're runnin' through my mind
And then you show me love
In my room, in my room
Uh

Hey, you went away to save
Yourself from all the rain
And then I picked you up
And then I showed you love
And then we talked
Let our guards down

I say you, you took me all around
Then treat me like a dog
And made me walk for miles
And then you held me up
I will never not love you
Not love you
uh

About my pride
About my pride
About my pride
About my prize (there's something 'bout my pride)
About my prize (there's something 'bout my loving)
About my pride (there's something 'bout my pride)
About my pride (there's something 'bout my loving)
About my pride
Oh, yeah
Oh

Bad Habit

I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me

What you, ooh, uh, what you do?
Made a move, could've made a move
If I knew I'd be with you
Is it too late to pursue?

I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit
Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it
Thought you were too good for me, my dear
Never gave me time of day, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I think are sure, yeah

I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew (oh)
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (yeah)
I wish I knew you wanted me (oh)
I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me

Please say to me (please, just say to me)
If you still want it
I wish you wouldn't play with me
I wanna know (I wanna know)

Uh, can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
No, you're not too good for me, my dear
Funny you come back to me, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I can't ignore, yeah

I wish I knew
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (wish I knew)
I wish I knew you wanted me (oh)

You can't surprise a Gemini (I wish I knew)
I'm everywhere, I'm cross-eyed-ed (I wish I knew you wanted me)
Now that you're back, I can't decide (I wish I knew)
If I decide if you're invited (I wish I knew you wanted me)
You always knew the way to wow me
F*ck around, get tongue-tied-ed
I turn it on, I make it rowdy
Then carry on, but I'm not hidin'
You grabbin' me hard 'cause you know what you found
It's biscuits, is gravy, babe

You can't surprise a Gemini
But you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
I knew you'd come back around
'Cause you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
Let's f*ck in the back of the mall, lose control
Go stupid, go crazy, babe
I know I'll be in your heart 'til the end
You'll miss me, don't beg me, babe

2Gether (Enterlude)

Twinklin', twinklin' hearts
And tell me when to stop
It's my time, it's the right time
It's about you

Together forever
Together forever
Together forever
Together forever
Together (together), forever (forever)
Together (together), forever
Together (together), forever (forever)
Together (together), forever
Together, mm

Cody Freestyle

Sometimes I feel the weight
Of codependency
I don't deserve the blame
I just don't feel the same
The feelings I attained
They trickle down the drain
I'm just not entertained
There isn't much to gain

Why you bother me?
Don't depend on me, no
Unless you're swallowing
I could use your deep throat

We don't gotta be
Together (together), forever (forever)
'Cause I could ('cause I could) do better (do better)
Why settle (why settle) for lesser? (For lesser?)
Or Hector (or Hector), or Jacob (or Jacob)
Or Kenny (or Kenny), there's plenty, through the city
So be good or I'll be tempted, temper tantrum
Said, "I love you," never meant it, you was handsome
With a heavy dick, a cannon, you do damage
You really workin' with your resources
And baby, I ain't mad at it
It's just that I don't like that tied-down shit
If you not tryna put the leg work in

Please don't bother me
Don't depend on me, no
Are you following?
I'll never ask for that much

Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm

Amber

Once upon a time
There were two lovebirds
One shy, one so not
They met each other at the perfect time
And one just didn't know how to handle it

These days feel so different with the thought
Of you in my mind, I can't help but see your face
The look in your eye lets me know I'm mesmerized
I wish I never met you no more

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, whoa, uh

Still here in my head, can you come back?
You left me a mess since the play we kissed and said
"Goodbye, just for now, we'll back next Saturday"
I wish I never met you no more
I wish I never met you no more

Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, ah, ah, oh
Oh
I wish you never met you at all
I wish I never met you no more
I wish I never met you no more
I wish I never met you no more
I wish I never met you no more

Sunshine

Lookin' like it's all catchin' up to you lately
Been a couple months since I told you it's over
Caught me off guard when I saw you last week
Oh-so tough, but you bluffed when you had me

Sayin', "My ex," like my name ain't Steve
Gave you a chance and some dopamine
Safe to say, after me, you peaked
Still'll give you dick anytime you need

Admit that I wasn't lost
You're taking it just as hard
Criticize me all you want
But I'm always gonna be

(Where you are) where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be
Where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be, yeah

I took the high road, do it through every word
Is it still that special if the whole world has owned?
And you always chasin', you can't replace it
Put those feelings back where they came from
Why can't we just get along? Or, at least, let's get it on
Honestly, I wouldn't mind, I would do it one more time
I would let you cut the line just so I could be right

(Where you are) where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be
Where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be
(Where you are) where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be
Where you are
Where you are
But I'm always gonna be, yeah

I mean
If I'm always gonna be there, then I might as well
I don't know about you, but, ah, come on
I still, I still love you
I still, I still love you
I still, I still love you
I still, I still love you
I still, I still love you (you, you, you)
I still, I still love you (you, you, you)
I still, I still love you (you, you, you)
I still, I still love you (you, you, you)
I still, I still love you

I still love you
You
I still love you
You
Love you
I still love you
I still love you, damn
This, this, this is love, I finally found it

Give You the World

Baby, I want a chance
To get you closer next to me
Said, girl, I'll be patient and slow
'Cause I got time, shit, maybe forever
You're so fickle and cold
But you feel so electric
Tell me, what I gotta do?
To move a little closer to you

If you want me to
I'll share my heart
I'm not anxious
I'll tell the truth
You know, if you feel about the same way, yeah
I'd feel so out my mind, could be dangerous
We'll fall, (I'd fall, I'd fall)

But I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world
I'll give you the world now, now

Here we are togethering
In love, in the sun, yeah
And rain, so many cloudy days
To keep us inside
Ooh, babe, I'm 'bout to cave in
Filling up inside, I'm filling with doubts

But I don't want a fuss
You pushed and I tugged
I'm so scary
But I'm not so tough
You know, I had to want it bad
The feeling that was warm, oh, whoa, whoa
Baby, it's gone, it died
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

But I gave you the world
I gave you the world
I gave you the world
I gave you the world
World, oh

Please, I don't want hate
Instead I'm gonna love you like you were new
And when I love you on your own
You'll miss me, goodbye, ooh, oh
Oh, og, ooh, oh
