   [Intro: Juice WRLD]
   I think that's what life is about
   Truly findin' yourself
   And then closin' your eyes and dyin' in your sleep

   [Verse 1: Kid Cudi & Drake]
   Lifted are my days, my dreams are vivid colors (Woo)
   The jet is low, they make me take your trips, we fly by (Let's go)
   No stress is on my brain, no worries here, I'm chosen (Yeah, yeah)
   Made another way, my n*gga, watch me go shine
   When I close my eyes my world comes alive (Yeah)
   La-la-la-la-la-la
   People grow, good times sometimes (Nigga)
   Real n*ggas in life survive (Yeah)
   And I'm sailing to the edge of my mind
   N*gga, double up life (Yeah, yeah)
   Set the tempo, got a nympho on my line (Yeah-yeah)
   Said she wanna unwind (She do)
   And I'm focused on gettin' more
   They too stuck on gettin' even, I'm ready for it
   We should really be together more
   'Cause I know we got some time but I'm never sure

   [Chorus: Kid Cudi]
   Catch me ten-toes in the limelight (Yeah)
   F*ck the world up, on my life, right (N*gga)
   Sayin' I'm the one, she lie, lie
   She checkin' for me, now baby come in my dreams, my dreams (Yeah)
   Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
   Hey-ayy, hey-ayy, hey-yeah
   Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

   [Post-Chorus: Drake & Kid Cudi]
   Finding myself as the days
   Fly by like us on the move
   You told me I was a phase
   Okay, fine, I miss you too
   Probably wouldn't believe me if I told you
   Pieces of myself that I should never lose
   All these people that love you don't know you
   How am I supposed to move?
   Hey-ayy, hey-ayy, hey-yeah
   How am I supposed to move?

   [Verse 2: Drake]
   All my n*ggas rally 'round me
   Bold n*ggas gettin' real italics 'round me
   Finally circled, found the purple
   Undisclosed amounts straight from Universal
   Too commercial, 'leven years later I done found my purpose
   Here I am, oh, they mad
   Goin' out swingin' for 'em, goin' out sad

   [Chorus: Kid Cudi]
   Catch me ten-toes in the limelight (Yeah)
   F*ck the world up, on my life, right (N*gga)
   Sayin' I'm the one, she lie, lie
   She checkin' for me, now baby come in my dreams, my dreams (Yeah)
   Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
   Hey-ayy, hey-ayy, hey-yeah
   Woah-woah, woah-woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

   [Post-Chorus: Drake]
   Finding myself as the days
   Fly by like us on the move
   You told me I was a phase
   Okay, fine, I miss you too
   Probably wouldn't believe me if I told you
   Pieces of myself that I should never lose
   All these people that love you don't know you
   How am I supposed to move?

   [Outro: Drake]
   Gettin' more
   We should really be together more
   But I'm never sure
