[Spoken Intro]
Hello, it’s RAYE here
Please get nice and comfortable and lock your phones
Because the story is about to begin (Uh)

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m gonna tell you ’bout
One of the many man, name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant
He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then
I’m still recovering
Truly I’m vulnerable, I love a cinnamon
Quickly I opened up, I learned my lesson then
Thought I was safе again, thought he was innocent
I was so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t deny, I was stuck in thе daze, terrible phase
It was convincing though, very believable
The role that you play

[Chorus]
So, I’ll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar winning tears
Popcorn and I scream
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar winning tears, baby, hmm, mm, mm

[Verse 2]
Oh, what a tragedy, it didn’t have to be
Look how you talk to me, cursing and blasphemy
Cinematography, get this on camera, please
Or no one gon’ believe this, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t deny, I thought you were the man that you would play
The fuck you lying for?
The fuck you crying for?
You did it again (Yeah, ah, ah, ah)

[Chorus]
So, I’ll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar winning tears
Popcorn and I scream
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar winning (Tears) tears, baby

[Bridge]
You can miss me with the bullshit
I can see right through your (Tears) tears, baby
Nine o’clock entertainment
Oh, man, I wish I could take it
Sit down, no tissues, no string section, no tiny violin
For the last time, I’m your audience

[Chorus]
I’ll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead and cry those, baby
And baby, baby, baby, would you really go ahead
And would you go ahead and just
Cry, cry, cry (Tears, baby)
C-cry those Oscar (Oscar) winning (Winning) tears (Tears), baby
(Tears, baby)
(Go ahead, cry those Oscar winning)

[Spoken Outro]
And after his Oscar winning performance
I left the room and never saw him again

3. Hard Out Here. Lyrics

[Intro]
After years and fears and smiling through my tears
All I ask of you is open your ears
‘Cause the truth ain’t pretty my dear
It’s been dark, been hard out–

[Verse 1]
Uh
On my way, figured a way, figured a way out
My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I’m finna spray now
He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now
Hm, hm, ah, uh, ah, uh
Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the stake house
I been a mess, so I’m in a dress and I got my cakes out
Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I’m in your face now
Hm, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
What you know about hustling?
As a young girl (Young girl) in the dungeons (Dungeons)
What you know about making amends?
With the devils in your face you must pretend
Uh, ah

[Verse 3]
CR0, I’m from the ends but I’m a actor
Smile in your face all of thе pricks, all of the wankers
I had to chill, smoke it away, managе my anger

[Verse 4]
Ooh, what you know about systems?
About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions
You start to wonder why I’m Christian
Without the Lord, I’d take my life for all the times I’ve been a victim
Oh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

[Chorus]
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (Bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (Bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
No weapon formed against me shall ever

[Verse 5]
All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege
Get your pink chubby hands of my mouth, fuck you think this is?
I told my lawyer stand by (War), there is no wrath like a woman scorned
Uh, now I bet you wish

[Verse 6]
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Devil’s a liar, I am the guy, call me the Conrad
I been too nice, triple the price, pay me the whole bag
These motherfuckers cheatin’ on me, am I a wag? Never again
Top of the day, top of the day, top of the day to you
This LP’s full of the shit I’m gonna say to you, ooh
See how I flow when I’m in pain, I’m gonna pray for you
Then I’ma aim for you, and it’s a shame for you, shame for you

[Verse 7]
Oh yeah
What you know about violence? I’m on smoke now
Babe, I think it’s time to cut the violins
Can’t see you, I’m looking at the inside of my eyelids
I’ll never stop fighting, all in God’s timing

[Bridge]
Timing
And I’m about to have these grown men crying (Cry-, hm, -ing)
You wasn’t trying, you was sitting on diamonds (Hm)
You gon’ have to see me now, I’m shining, hyped up, blinding
Very fucking frightening, all these lies, now I see it so clear
See for girls like me from the bottom of the tier
Believe that it’s always been hard out here

[Chorus]
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (Bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Hm, No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (Bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

4. Black Mascara. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once you see my black mascara
Run from you into my mama’s hands
You selfish man
You’d understand (Understand what you)
Once you see my slick eyeliner
Blend into my black designer bags under my eyes
Oh, how’d you try to understand?

[Pre-Chorus]
What you done to me
What you done to me
What you

[Chorus]
Done to me
You done to me?
You done to me?
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You made your bed (Made your bed)
Lied your lies (Lied your lies)
And fucked my mind up
Try to understand just what you
Done to me
You done to me?
You done to me?
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You made your bed (Made your bed)
Lied your lies (Lied your lies)
And fucked my mind up
Try to understand just what you

[Verse 2]
Now you see my black mascara
Run from you into my mama’s hands
You selfish man (Do you understand)
How it feels?
And what you’ve done?

[Chorus]
Done to me
You done to me?
You done to me?
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You’re done to me
You made your bed (Made your bed)
Lied your lies (Lied your lies)
And fucked my mind up
Try to understand just what you

[Post-Chorus]
(Try to understand just what you)
(Fucked my mind up, fucked my mind up, fucked my mind up)
(Try to understand just what you)
(Try to understand just what you)
Understand
Do you understand?

[Verse 3]
Tripped on the throttle
Sipped on bottle, serious
Tell them hoes to be minding they business
Heart broke but I’m still looking like millions
Six shots down so I can’t feel this
Talking my ear off, cocaine
Got a bitch gassed up, propane
Now I can’t come down, or it pours
Oh, underneath my eyes, how it rains
There’s clouds up high
But there’s stars on the ceiling of the Royce
I hear this pain, drown every other noise
You talk to me dumb like you didn’t have a choice
I’m here now fucked up, thinking this why
I’m out here sinking in these dark nights
Nights, ah, yeah

[Bridge]
Look what you’ve done to me
You’ve done to me, my baby
Look what you’ve done to me
You’ve done to me, my lover
Just what you’ve done to me
You’ve done to me
You’ve done to me
You’ve done to me
You’ve done to me
You’ve done
Try to understand just what you

[Outro]
Try to understand just what you
Do you, oh, do you understand how it feels?
Try to understand just what you
Look what you’ve done to me
You’ve done to me, my baby
Try to understand just what you
Do you, oh, do you understand how it feels and what you’ve done?
What you’ve done

5. Escapism. by RAYE & 070 Shake Lyrics

Release Date
October 12, 2022

[Intro: RAYE]
Sleazin’ and teasin’, I’m sittin’ on him
All of my diamonds are drippin’ on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something
I ordered two more wines ’cause tonight, I want him

[Verse 1: RAYE]
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a shit position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it’s over, dumb decision
And I don’t wanna feel how my heart is rippin’
In fact, I don’t wanna feel, so I stick to sippin’
And I’m out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress and this shit is sittin’

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin’ champagne
I don’t trust any of these bitches I’m with
In the back of the taxi sniffin’ cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin’ for a man who was on the same page
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

[Chorus: RAYE]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You’re askin’ me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel

[Verse 2: RAYE]
Toke this joint how I’m blowin’ this steam
Back to my ways like 2019
Not twenty-four hours since my ex did dead it
I got a new man on me, it’s about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I’m findin’ it cripplin’
Excuse my state, I’m as high as your hopes
That you’ll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzlin’
If I take a step back to see the glass half-full
At least it’s the Prada two-piece that I’m trippin’ in
And I’m already actin’ like a dick, know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sippin’ champagne
I don’t trust any of these bitches I’m with
In the back of the taxi sniffin’ cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
I was lookin’ for a man who was on the same page
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

[Chorus: RAYE & 070 Shake]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You’re askin’ me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel, mm (What?)

[Verse 3: 070 Shake & RAYE]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can’t change (Last night)
I’ll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch
Too numb, I don’t feel no way
Toast up, so what?
Street small, but it go both ways
So, you’ll run, yeah
But you’ll never escape
Sunset in the maze
(You’re askin’ me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel)

[Chorus: RAYE]
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You’re askin’ me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel

[Bridge: 070 Shake]
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night

[Outro: RAYE]
Mm, lipstick smudged like modern art
I don’t know where the fuck I am or who’s drivin’ the fuckin’ car
Speedin’ down the highway, sippin’
Mixin’ pills with the liquor ‘cah fuck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (Uh-huh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-huh)
I remember nothing so there’s nothing to regret (Uh-uh)
Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin’ in my head

6. Mary Jane. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mary Jane
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
When you touch my mouth
I levitate
You take these bitter thoughts in my brain
And let them fall like summer rain
Sweet Mary Jane (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)

[Verse 2]
Mmm, codeine
Silent, marvelous codeine
How I miss your chemical hug
Since I’ve been clean, ooh
But you hold me better than any man did
And no one’s done it like you since
Codeine, mmm

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
And codeine can kill any pain

[Verse 3]
Mmm, red wine
You always gave me the best advice
Mmm, gave me courage (Gave me)
To call the man that makes me cry
And I bought three bottles ’cause I tend to drink you dry
Mmm, oh, how we’ve danced tonight, red wine

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (Yeah)
And codeine can kill any pain

[Verse 4]
Mandy, dear
Oh, when I met you, we had quite the year
You showed me love so pure, so stone
Then left me in bed so alone
You’re a stone cold bitch in the morning, aren’t you?
Aren’t you, Mandy?

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane (Sweet Mary Jane)
And codeine can kill any pain

7. The Thrill is Gone. Lyrics

Release Date
October 12, 2022

[Verse 1]
Card games and heart games
I said, “Let’s play,” I should know better
My boy ain’t my boy
But I call him that ’cause it feels better
Court case last Monday
But he buss trial so I feel better
Painkillers and codeine
I got stomach cramps under my sweater
Dark words from his dark mind
Now there’s dark stains under my eyes
I’m scared when I look at him
And I don’t know why I’m surprised
Silk sheets and I’m cryin’ in ’em
And I’m stayin’ here when I should go
I’m scared if I leave now
I’ll never come back so I sip slow, huh

[Pre-Chorus]
Say somethin’ nice to me, uh
Say somethin’ nice to mе, uh
I nod and I agree
You get so mad if I disagree
So he invited mе
To sit here silently
He can’t stand the sight of me
He used to get excited but now

[Chorus]
Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over
I know it’s so, I’m more alone when I’m on his shoulder
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh
He’s a Leo sun, a Leo moon, and a Leo risin’
Somethin’ dies in his eyes when I find them
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone

[Verse 2]
I can’t sleep in the same bed as you, somethin’ just doesn’t feel right
When you fall asleep, I leave the room as you’re closin’ your eyes
I shut the door behind me quickly as I get in my car
But then the second I leave you, I wish I was where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
(Say) Say somethin’ nice to me
(Say) Say somethin’ nice to me
(Say) Say somethin’ nice to me, please say
(Oh, won’t you say, oh, won’t you say, oh, won’t you say)

[Chorus]
Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over
I know it’s so, I’m more alone when I’m on his shoulder
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone (Hey)

[Bridge]
Gotta get on the road now, hey
Gotta shake a little dust off, hey
Gotta get up, walk away
Get on the plane now, say
I’ll leave him in the past, I pray
I know it’s done, it’s sad to say
But the thrill is gone, it’s gone away (Hey)

[Chorus]
Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, the thrill is over
I know it’s so, I’m more alone when I’m on his shoulder
(Ah, woah) The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh (Hey)
He’s a Leo sun, a Leo moon, and a Leo risin’ (Oh, oh, hey)
Somethin’ dies in his eyes when I find them (Ooh)
The thrill is gone, thrill is gone
The thrill is gone

8. Ice Cream Man. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So this producer hit me up on the DM
He told me, “Hey, I really like what you are doing”
He told me, “Come to the studio, let’s cook it”
He told me, ”Come and catch a vibe and make some music”
But when I got there, shoulda heard what he was saying
Trying to touch me, trying to fuck me, I’m not playing
I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
How God damn dare you do that to me, really

[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I fеlt his ice-cold hands
And how I paid the price, not fair
God damn, no, god damn
Evеrything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no I didn’t say a word, I guess that proves it
I’m a woman

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a woman
I’m a very fucking brave strong woman
And I’ll be damned if I let men ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man, I’ve been broken for a moment
I’ve been through it all
It’s even harder to be brave at all
I was a girl, now I’m grown
I’m a woman

[Verse 2]
When I was seven, just twenty-one, I was seventeen, I was eleven
It took a while to understand to where my consent leads
If I was ruthless they’d be in a penitentiary
All this stress of being honest wouldn’t help me
I pushed it down, but it was livin’ in me rent free, and then I fell to some things that weren’t healthy
A place where no one hurt me has to go to help me, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Come in like the ice cream man
Till I felt his ice-cold hands
And how I paid the price, not fair
God damn
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
And no I didn’t say a word, I guess that proves it

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a woman
I’m a very fucking brave strong woman
And I’ll be damned if I let men ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man, I’ve been broken for a moment
I’ve been through it all
It’s even harder to be brave at all
I was a girl, now I’m grown
I’m a woman

[Bridge]
Wish I could say how I feel, how I felt
And explain why I’m silently blaming myself
And I put on these faces, pretending I’m fine
And then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind, in my head
Always going round and round in my head
Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
You made me frame myself for your sin
You pathetic dead excuse of a man

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a woman
I’m a very fucking brave strong woman
And I’ll be damned if I let men ruin
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
Man, I’ve been broken for a moment
I’ve been through it all
It’s even harder to be brave at all
I was a girl, now I’m grown
I’m a woman

9. Flip A Switch. Lyrics

[Intro]
Can’t just let your guard down and fall for someone anymore
That’s what stupid girls do
Yeah, I’ve been a stupid girl
Four days away, in his arms I invest
He won’t take my heart but he’ll take off my dress
Excuses rehearsed, I am blue, I am red
Fuck looking for love
I’ma stay doing what us bitches do best

[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick and I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club sippin’ Hennessy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me
Flip a switch on a prick and I’m
A very sound bitch till you cross that line
Black heels, black shades, not my energy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me

[Verse 1]
You’re a very silly man, block, block, mute chat
New addy in the sat, new dicks on cap
Got best case, worst case, plan of attack
Got bitches if they see you in the street, you getting slapped
Don’t threaten me or talk to me ever like that
I got brothers in the ends that’ll pull up right now
You don’t even wanna see the way I pull up right now
In my little black dress and my neck buss down
Now I, mhm, mhm

[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick and I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club sippin’ Hennessy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me
Flip a switch on a prick and I’m
A very sound bitch till you cross the line
Black heels, black shades, not my energy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me

[Verse 2]
Block you off to a swift
Hit a thing I used to link who always text back fast
And now I tell you kiss my ass and now you wish that you could
Since the fuckery from my past, I tend to move on quick, I tend to move on quick
Seasoned speed now move with a man who was sleeping underneath me
Said I couldn’t live without you and I love you
Well, I lied and you shouldn’t have believed me
Twenty four hours in the bed and believe me
It’s bout to get freaky, only get too see me when you see me on the phone screen, G
You no longer know me, I no longer want you, you may never hold me

[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick and I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club sippin’ Hennessy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me
Flip a switch on a prick and I’m
A very sound bitch till you cross the line
Black heels, black shades, not my energy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me

[Bridge]
Ooh, oh no, oh no, no, no
Ooh, oh no, oh no, no, no
Oh, only because I was in love
I opened up, now lock
Opened up to your best friend
Which one? Bitches like me
I just had to flip the switch on you

[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick and I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club sippin’ Hennessy
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me (Baby)
Flip a switch on a prick and I’m (Ooh)
A very sound bitch till’ you cross the line
Black heels, black shades not my energy (Not my energy)
Tell him I’m dead if he calling me

[Outro]
Me, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Only because I was in love
I opened up, now lock
Opened up to your best friend
Which one? Bitches like me
I just had to flip the switch on you

10. Body Dysmorphia. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I let my fingers pinch my skin
I’m so hungry I can’t sleep
But I know just five min
Then I’ll be in the bathroom on my knees
I hate the way my face is square
I hate my arms inside these sleeves
For this hourglass we all desire
I wear three corsets underneath

[Pre-Chorus]
XL T-shirts, baggy jeans, so I don’t have to stress about it
Marijuana every day, so I cannot obsess about it
How can I expect you to romance me, touch my body, baby?
I don’t even want to take it off for you so turn the lights off

[Chorus]
And I don’t really like my body
But knowin’ it’s my only body
I should probably call somebody
I should really show you how it feel this time
Matter fact, I’m glad you callеd me
I’ve been hiding up and hiding up
And sleeping hungry

[Verse 2]
I hold my knees, I squeeze my wеight
There’s so much that I want to change
Yes, lately I’ve been thinking
‘Bout the ways to rearrange my face
I wanna cut pieces off
Looking at the mirror
Want to take a pair of scissors, sadly bitter
I wanna cut pieces off

[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I’ve been so depressed about it
No one sees what I can see, and I’m so fucking scared about it
How can I expect you to romance me, touch my body, baby?
I don’t want to take it off for you until you turn the lights off

[Chorus]
And I don’t really like my body
But knowin’ it’s my only body
I should probably call somebody
I should really show you how I feel this time
Matter fact, I’m glad you called me
I’ve been hiding up and hiding up
And sleeping hungry

[Outro]
I think when I grow older, I’m going to get a nosejob
I have a bump in my nose and it’s ugly
When I grow up, I want to be skinny but with an hourglass figure
I hope I’ll be pretty when I grow up, or I think I’ll be sad

11. Environmental Anxiety. Lyrics

[Chorus]
How did you ever think?
How did you ever think it wasn’t bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls
Set fires to our rivers of hope
The end of us all, well, it was always bound to happen
To happen

[Verse 1]
Come on kids, it’s time to vote
Boris Johnson’s sniffing coke
All the children are depressed
Not the future we had hoped
Little girls unsafe at home
She’s scrolling up and down her phone
She hates her life, shе hates herself
And shе’s twelve years old
These social apps are now a good system
For views and likes and shares
We find peace from drugs and sex
And prescription anxiety meds
Sweep the truth under the rug
Feed us plastic, GMO corpse
We don’t need self-motivation
Robots will take all our jobs

[Chorus]
How did we ever think?
How did we ever think it wasn’t bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls
And set fires to our rivers of hope
We’re all gonna die, but what do we do before it happens?
It happens?

[Verse 2]
You turn a blind eye when the drunk man falls
Did you ever think why is the drunk man drunk?
The system failed, two kids in jail
And the rich get rich, and the rest get sunk
Classist, sexist, racist, ableist
Fascists, ageist, homophobic
Country leaders fucked our futures
And they think we haven’t noticed
Forest burning, oils spills
Melting ice and methane gas
Toxic waste and plastic fish
We’re digging holes to hide our trash
[?] in all our songs
But we drew borders as we cross our land
A thousand years we’ve been at war
When the planet is dead, we will all hold hands

[Chorus]
How did we ever think?
How did we ever think it wasn’t bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls
And set fires to our rivers of hope
We’re all gonna die, but what do we do before it happens?
It happens?

[Outro]
Attention citizens
Please evacuate the country in orderly fashion
And leave behind any personal belongings
Um, that you don’t need, ha-ha-ha

12. Five Star Hotels. (Ft. Mahalia) Lyrics

[Intro: RAYE]
You should be here with me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don’t be sad
Yeah, yeah
Oh, woah, yeah
Oh, woah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: RAYE]
Fuck what they say (Say, say)
I think that you should take a break (Oh)
Get on a plane (Plane, plane)
Call it the sweetest escape (Yeah)
I wanna go, I wanna feel
I wanna feel your body (Yeah)
People gon’ talk, like it or not
Baby, don’t tell nobody (Mmm)

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
And I know I’ve been distant
I’ve been seeing other guys
You’ve been kissing other bitches, mmm
I think you should come and visit
I got someone else who isn’t you
Pull in up in a minute, oh, yeah

[Chorus: RAYE]
Don’t you know what you’re missing?
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius, mhm
I, I, I, I think I know what you’re missing
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius, mhm

[Post-Chorus: RAYE]
Come seek and hide it
Sick of drunk dialing
Come to my hotel, baby, don’t fight it
I just wanna hang on your neck like a diamond, uh
Look at that timing
I take you to dinner, fine dining
I’ma take off, [?] autopilot
Five star, tell you, bad bitch riddin’, oh, oh

[Verse 2: RAYE]
I’m on the road
Took a Benz down to the coast
I’m tryna drink, I’m tryna smoke
Set it on fire, I took a toke of that (Uff, ah)
Carry my mind if you were mine
You would be here, we would be fine
There would be wine, we would be high on that, mmm

[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]
And I know I’ve been distant
You’ve been loving other girls
I won’t tell you who I’m kissing, yeah
I think you should come and visit
I got one fine piece of man
Standing in position, oh, baby

[Chorus: RAYE]
Don’t you know what you’re missing?
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius, mhm
I, I, I, I think I know what you’re missing
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius, mhm

[Post-Chorus: RAYE]
Come seek and hide it (Hide it)
Sick of drunk dialing
Come to my hotel, baby, don’t fight it
I just wanna hang on your neck like a diamond, oh, oh
Look at that timing
I take you to dinner, fine dinning
I’ma take off, [?] autopilot
Five star, tell you [?], bad bitch riddin’, oh, oh
Five star, tell you [?], bad bitch riddin’, oh, oh

[Bridge: Mahalia]
Don’t you, huh (Don’t you)
Don’t you know what you’re missing?
Touch and kissing, I like assistance
Don’t you wanna roll in my Rolls?
With the star on the ceiling, Come see this feeling, now
Come for like you’re dreaming now
Come be by my side, baby, I take you on a ride, baby
I show you I am different
You don’t need a reason now
We’ve always been distant
Always just existing
But let’s exist together now

[Outro: RAYE]
Ooh, ooh, baby, don’t you know what you’re missing?
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius
Oh, ooh, baby, don’t you know what you’re missing?
In the the five star high hotel in Mauritius

13. Worth It. Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no
I hope you’re gonna
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no, no, my love
You’re gonna make it worth
I’m just gonna tell you how it feel, ooh

[Verse 1]
If my body was a boat, could you steer that sail (Mmm)
Make it feel like it’s a 1960s Hollywood trailer (Oh, la, la)
Classic like cars, classic like Elizabeth Taylor (Taylor)
Uh, need you to romance me, I need a giver, not a taker (Oh)
What I need is, ’cause

[Pre-Chorus]
I could love you
If I really wanted to
You could be, be my glass of wine
In the sunset, let me exhale my exes

[Chorus]
But ba-bb-ba-bb-ba-bb-baby would you?
Would you make it all right? (Mm)
Or maybe that much better?
If you wanted, you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you make it that much better
So I hopе you gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I’m ’bout to givе you, baby
So I hope gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it (Mhm)

[Verse 2]
This is the night
Something ’bout it’s making me cry
My soul, it did decide
Feel my body shiver in your moonlight
And I need you to
Let me have the time of my life
Checked your credentials, self-residentials
Ooh, baby boy, you got so much potential

[Pre-Chorus]
I could love you
If I really wanted to
You could be, be my glass of wine
In the sunset, let me exhale my exes

[Chorus]
But ba-bb-ba-bb-ba-bb-baby would you? (Oh, baby, would you?)
Would you make it all right? (Would you make it all right?)
Or maybe that much better? (Maybe that much better)
If you wanted, you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it (If you wanted to, oh)
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you make it that much better
So I hope you’re gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I’m ’bout to give you, baby
So I hope you’re gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you’re gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it

[Bridge]
Give me a six carat cartier rings, baby
Top floor on the penthouse
Sipping on chardonnay 2016, baby (On the top floor)
Something like a dream date
Somehow, also catch a vibe
Have me rearranging all of my plans
And I’m holding my breath
As I hope you make it worth it

[Chorus]
Would you make it all right?
Or maybe that much better? (Oh, baby)
If you wanted you could make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, when I see the sun rising, you make it that much better
So I hope you gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, worth all of the time I’m ’bout to give you, baby
So I hope you gonna make it all worth it, worth it, worth it, worth it
Ooh, give all of the time I should be working on me
So I hope you’re gonna make it all (Worth it, worth it, worth it)

[Outro]
This is the night (This is the night)
My soul, it did decide (Worth it, worth it, worth it)
And I need you too (I need you too)
I’m all in, I can’t [?] so I hope and pray you make it worth it

14. Buss It Down. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I’m dancing on the kitchen floor
I caught a vibe too, and a song to whine too
I sat down, whine my waist forever more
Until I find you, until I find you

[Chorus]
I’m gon’ buss it down
I’m gon’ buss it (She gon’ buss it)
I’m gon’ tic-toc on it like a clock
I’m gon’ touch it
Oh, I’m gon’ bag it up and break it down
And he’s gon’ love it (He’s gon’ love it)
I’m gon’ buss it down, buss it down

[Verse 2]
I’m just tryin’ to prioritize
Who I grind for
Who I take my time for
I got my mind on my money
Got my girls by my side until I find more
Something I’ll ride for

[Chorus]
I’m gon’ buss it down
I’m gon’ buss it (She gon’ buss it)
I’m gon’ tic-toc on it like a clock
I’m gon’ touch it
Oh, I’m gon’ bag it up and break it down
And he’s gon’ love it (He’s gon’ love it)
I’m gon’ buss it down, oh, oh

[Bridge]
(Buss it down, back it up)
I’m gon’ buss it down
She gon’ buss it down
(Back it up like a truck)
He gon’ buss it down
They gon’ buss it down
(Slow it down, speed it up)
Shake it to my ocean drowning
Shake it to your ocean drowning
(Shake it to your ocean drown)
Baby, I’ve seen sat down
Please, don’t let me down
Oh, best believe I’m ready now

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m gon’ uh, hmm, hee
And then I’m gonna, uh, uh, uh
And a uh (They gon’ buss it down)

[Chorus]
I’m gon’ buss it down
I’m gon’ buss it (She gon’ buss it)
I’m gon’ tic-toc on it like a clock
I’m gon’ touch it
Oh, I’m gon’ bag it up and break it down
And he’s gon’ love it (He’s gon’ love it)
Yeah, yeah, down

[Outro]
(*Audience cheering and applauding*)
(They gon’ buss it down)

15. Fin. Lyrics

[Spoken]
If you made it this far, I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening. Thank you to my dear Mike Sabath for EPing this record with your entire soul. To Felly for engineering and all the emotional late nights. To my mom and my beautiful sisters, to dad and Tia. I just couldn’t have done it without you. I’ve waited seven years for this moment. Finally, My 21st Century Blues is now ours, forever. Till next time, lots of love, RAYE
