Saturday nights
[G]
Newbury cigarillos
[Em] [Dsus2]
Swishers make my throat hurt

Rolling OCB's on the side for me
[Em] [Dsus2]
Light 'em up and let 'em both burn
[Cadd9] [G]
Family Feuds, saying Mom's confused
[Em] [Dsus2]
I'm for sure she doesn't wanna learn
[Cadd9] [G]
My daddy's gone, say he's never home
[Em] [Dsus2]
And wishin' only makes it worse

And fix your makeup in a dirty bathroom
[Cadd9] [G]
No more love, in and out of clubs

You got plans wrapped in rubber bands
