BURNiNG CANDLES

Five am when the text came in
Nine am when it finally got read
Quarter past ten I replied to it
Twelve pm I forget to hit send (fuck)

Sorry my friend I've been getting to it
Light getting dim, i burnt the candle both ends
No I'm not complaining cause I asked for this
But the light's getting dim, burnt the candle both ends

Hey you smell something burning?
Burning candle both ends
Naw something's definitely on fire bruh
Burning candle both ends
Hope i don't burn out in the end (what is that?)
Light been getting dim
Burnt the candle both ends (incoming call from mother)

Oh my i've been looking for Mr. Francis
I've been calling you
Bout time you answered
Is you just that busy?
Or you don't miss me?
Got me thinking you ain't rocking with me

I can explain why
Hold on mama
I'm getting a call on the other line
What's up Zay
Can i hit you back another time?
No you can't boy you no we got deadlines
And you know they got your name in the headlines
And you know you got a interview to do at nine
Shit
Fuck
I forgot
Hold on bro
My girl just pulled up to my spot
Hey baby
What's up with ya
You know i've been tryna get up with ya
Did you check your phone i got reservations
But you ain't hit me back
Tell me what was up with that?

It was five am when the text came in
Nine am when it finally got read
Quarter past ten I replied to it
Twelve pm I forget to hit send
Gaht dammit

Sorry my friend I've been getting to it
Light getting dim, i burnt the candle both ends
No I'm not complaining cause I asked for this
But the light's getting dim, burnt the candle both ends

Hey you smell something burning?
Burning candle both ends
Naw something's definitely on fire bruh
Burning candle both ends
Hope i don't burn out in the end (what is that?)
Light been getting dim, burnt the candle both ends

Burning candles and a bridge
On my old flame
I'm romantic with the business
Real close ain't it
Use my noodle
Stay fried hard
Keep it lo mein
Couple offers
Hella favors
Can't say no gang
My conscious speak
More often then I this week
Wave rocking on this oddesssy
Lot of people gone emote
Can not get the drive
Never owning up
I just take the note
Lease I'm always lit
This life far from priceless
Cost some money years and people
They close and still can't reach you
Against the grain no misu
Schedule never peaceful
Had ya message couple days at least
It's like I'm not here
Living in my brain occasionally
So I replied there
And it went

Five am when the text came in (i'm sleep)
Nine am when it finally got read (i peeped)
Quarter past ten I replied to it (didn't speak)
Twelve pm I forget to hit send (sheesh)

Between the photo shoots
And the sessions booked
You wouldn't even notice how depression look
You wouldn't even know i'm getting pressured cooked
You wouldn't even know
Gotta keep on with the show
It's a lot on my plate
But i never complain
Am i making a mess
While making a name
If i'm losing my loved ones
Then what did i gain?
If i'm on cloud nine
Who underneath in the rain?

It was five am when the text came in
Nine am when it finally got read
Quarter past ten I replied to it
Twelve pm I forget to hit send (fuck)
Sorry my friend I've been getting to it
Light getting dim, i burnt the candle both ends
No I'm not complaining cause I asked for this
But the light's getting dim, burnt the candle both ends
