Lyrics
[Intro: Bladee]
Drain Gang
Take a knife and drain your life
RIP Bladee, RIP RipSquadd
You're a joker, I'm the Joker
Dirty cash on the sofa
[Verse 1: Bladee & Yung Lean]
You're a joker, I'm the Joker
Should I listen to the devil or the angel on my shoulder?
Dirty cash on the sofa
Fendi bags in the hallway when she come over
Dirty sodas
At the hotel Hyatt, walls moving closer
I don't know her
I'ma duck off in the castle 'til it blow over (BladeeCity)
[Chorus: Yung Lean]
I ain't ever tried hard, it's hard for me to try (Try)
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies (Fuck the world)
I ain't ever tried hard, it's hard for me to try (Lean)
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies (Try)
[Verse 2: Yung Lean]
Electric fuel like aliens
Mountain glue, we tapin' them
Livin' like a vacant man
Stacks on me, they hatin' that
Electric fields, we wait for 'em
Struggle 'til I pay for him
Chasin' bags is chasin' tags
Chasin' bags and changing hands (Lean, Lean, Lean, Lean)
I told you I'm no Satan
Angels keep me sane
And still with the same clique
Same time, summertime
Long, long white nights
The grind don't stop 'cause the sun shines
[Verse 3: Bladee & Yung Lean]
You've been talkin' to a stranger
Two pills, I'm a raver
Fingers cut on the paper
I'ma help out my neighbor
Always spin a dreidel even if it's fatal
You're my son, I'm Darth Vader
Don't talk to me ever, Leandoer, Bladeer
We gon' shoot your shit like lasers
You can hit me on my pager, all we see is paper
[Chorus: Yung Lean]
I ain't ever tried hard, it's hard for me to try
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies (Fuck the world)
I ain't ever tried hard, it's hard for me to try (Lean)
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies (Lean, Lean Leandoer)
(Sad Boys, Drain Gang in this bitch)
Hard for me to try
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies
I ain't ever tried hard, it's hard for me to try (Try)
'Cause I ain't like to try, fuck the world, come tell me lies (Lean)
