Westlake *** Lyrics – Cordae
Uh, yeah
You know, um
I just wanna apologize, um, in advance, really
For all of my mistakes that I’m- I’m bound to make
That I’ve made in the past, though
No human is- is perfect and I’m not tryna be, either
Yeah, alright
If only Father Time had the patience of Mother Nature
If only I was wiser when I first discovered paper
If only Martin Luther never stayed at the Lorraine Hotel
Should he still be alive and well
Shout out my *** Yo Gotti, that’s my Memphis connect
He always put his niggas on and so I give him respect
My right wrist Audemars, left wrist a Patek
*** a aux cord, ***, throw that *** in, cassette tape
I went to Westlake *** where death rates rise
And some people go on to waste the rest they lives
I go back every now and then to check they vibes
The rest of my classmates workin’ tech-based jobs
I just bought a Range Rover and did a song with Nas
In the belly of the best where the strong survive
Tryna move past the lows and prolong the highs, huh
But still I rise, yeah
You know, uh
It’s times like this in life, where
You just gotta relish in the moment, and then-
And cherish these moments, dawg, ’cause, like
I made it, man, and, um
It’s not like it’s a surprise or anything
But I’m just gon’ live in this moment
And be present at this time, though
I’ma be doin’ this music *** at the absolute highest level
For a long-ass time, man, as long as I wanted to
And, um, that’s all I try to do, man, is
Give y’all my life and everything from a bird’s-eye view
Though you must remember that the mantra
The way of life is always, huh
Everything ***-level
And- And, also, um
I wanna dedicate this album to my grandmother
My late grandmother, God rest her soul
Janet Dunston
Um, she was on my last album singin’ interludes, dawg, and, uh
Man, I miss that woman so much
But, um, I’ma be here for a long time, man
As long as I wanna do this ***
Everything ***-level
