Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A spaceship lands on Mars

Halfway to the stars, halfway to the stars (Halfway to the—)

I wanna be where you are

It seems we're worlds apart, it seems we're worlds apart (We're worlds apart)

[Chorus]

Once in a while, I'll feel myself

Driftin' off to somewhere else

Floatin' past Orion's Belt

Still, there's something I can't help

[PostChorus]

We were in a world before (I know we was— I know we was together in another life)

Together, and of that, I'm sure (It's the only way I can really explain how I feel inside)

As sure as one could ever be (It's like, no matter how bad I wanna go, I could)

That explains your hold on me (Find a way to stay)

[Bridge]

Magnets (It's been like that)

Magnets (Maybe it'll always be like that)

Magnets (I don't know)

Magnets

Magnets

I'm pulled to you

Love, gravitational, somethin' cosmic

Universal, metaphysical, can't see it

Always present, just feel it

I'm pulled to you

[Verse 2]

I'm pulled to you

Oh

[Verse 3]

Let's stop playin' the middle

Let's stop runnin' around

Let's stop playin' the middle

Let's stop runnin' around

Let's stop playin' the middle

Let's stop runnin' around

Let's stop playin' the middle

Let's stop—

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fuck what you heard, bitch

Fuck what you heard, bitch

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fuck what you heard, bitch

Fuck what you heard (Fuck what you—)

[PreChorus]

Never in my life did I think I'd see the day (The day)

That **** wanna play with my name, but okay

I'm goin' back in (Who's goin' back in?)

I'm goin' back in (Who's goin' back in?)

Let me go back in (Let him go back in)

I'ma go back in (He's goin' back in)

I'ma go in

[Chorus]

Let me go in, let me go in, let me go in, let me go– (Boom-boom)

Let me go in, let me go in, let me go in, let me go– (Boom-boom)

Let me go in, let me go in, let me go in, let me go– (Boom-boom)

When **** act like they don't know, you gotta show 'em (You gotta)

[Verse 4]

I'm pleased to report, after many attempts

I climbed out from the mouth of the gritty abyss

The antonym of idiot, who witty as this?

My mind frame has been trained with Nvidia chips

My rhymes are like shrines for the city I miss

Where, in time, I found beauty in the hideousness

My tongue can set fire to some, inspire the young

Or put a hickey on the titty of the prettiest bitch

I'm number one, you gettin' the gist?

Anything lower, you better reconsider your list

Play my song when I'm gone, I'ma still be a myth

Even God gon' wonder, "How the fuck did he exist?"

I mean, could he have just slipped through the cracks?

Ain't let a **** into Heaven, so I went through the back

And when I entered, I saw an old friend that I dapped

He said, "Please, ****, kick one of the infinite raps"

Okay, I flip on tracks long as the beat is on fire

My grip on rap stronger than needle-nose pliers

So kick on back and enjoy the fresh sound

The best round of Black gettin' rich off rap

I'm from the town where they zip raw packs

We never seen a trampoline, but a brick, you could flip off that

Well, damn, try to compete, but they just fall flat

Lot of these weak **** peak where I lift off at

I never trick off racks, I stack what I attract

The money talks to me and they lack the dialect to

Reply back as I crack the fire axe

Light refracts when the half-Black messiah raps, uh

Fayettenam, where they strapped like Iraq

The narcs in the trap with a knack to hire rats

A man's dead 'cause the feds slapped a wiretap

His dog had his back, so they whacked the chiroprac'

Chemically imbalanced, drippin' style in gallons

I write schemes in my dreams just for the challenge

Woke up in ice-cold sweats 'cause the flows I chose next

Are like both sets of Bowflex, uh

Hold your breath for the prose I profess

Cole the GOAT, fresh like a juice that's cold-pressed

No rest to those who oppose, I don't stress

Rap **** gotta be in Vogue to pose threats, uh

They don't compare, they're more like Kotex

I'm droppin' **** off at the door like coat checks

Hold check, I told you they ain't ready to hoop

Them **** regular, I'm 93 Unleaded, the truth

Hot out the booth, now I'm lookin for my lil' Betty Boop, cute

Pardon me, shawty, I been out of the loop

Too many lies to refute, but I gotta rebuke

They tryna put my neck inside of a noose, it's not happenin'

[Outro]

Boom-boom

Boom-boom

Never in my life did I think I'd see the day (Boom-boom)

That **** wanna play with my name, but okay (I'm goin' back in)

The children that survive the lows and highs

The real will never die, we multiply (We multiply, we multiply, we multiply, I'm goin' back in)

The history you're told is mostly lies

You say you want the truth? Well, close your eyes (Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes)
