LYRICS

They say I got to have a plan, I say if you don't burn you won't tan
They say I gotta watch myself, I have my cake and watch it melt
Uh, I'm in a pocket with a rocket, I'm a cock it and blow the roof off this
boojy club
Fuck the haters give me some love
Don't be so pretentious, I fit gold like a dentist
And if I said it, then I meant it
He a soccer playa, he head it

I'm going lightspeed
Drinking rice dream, drippin visine
Bitch cover your eyes you won't find me
Even beside me, you behind me

By the time you on it I'll be off it
By the time you get it I'll be done with it
You kn-o-ow that we be goin' lightspeed
Ahead, everybody told me I should slow down
But instead, all I can do is take it lightspeed
Outer-space and there is no calculation
Tell me am I outta my head, oh are we really goin' lightspeed

'We are experiencing some turbulence'
It's the Cataracs!

If you ain't on my flight you get in flown over
Under a palm tree
That's where I'm lyin' like when I tell people I'm sober
Got a devil on one shoulder and a angel on the other one
But I ain't never listen to none of 'em

It's been a crazy road runnin'
And I, I never stop runnin'
People talking, 'bout somethin'
But I, I never heard nothin'
The sun is set and the clouds are movin'
The sky is black and I'm used to it
We awake all night who knew it
I got a dark soul you can never see through it

By the time you on it I'll be off it
By the time you get it I'll be done with it
You kn-o-ow that we be goin' lightspeed
Ahead, everybody told me I should slow down
But instead, all I can do is take it lightspeed
Outer-space and there is no calculation
Tell me am I outta my head, oh are we really goin' lightspeed

'We are experiencing some tuuurrr-- some tuuurrbb...'
It's the Cataracs!

Are we really goin' lightspeed
Are we really goin' lightspeed
Are we really goin' lightspeed
