Power Trip
BEDROOM - J. Cole Lyrics

Got me up all night
I can't sleep because of her, she has my mind constantly racing

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
All I can think about and express through music are love songs because of her

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
I try to drown my thoughts in alcohol while listening to love songs, but she still keeps me awake

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night
I feel lost and depressed when listening to love songs, as they remind me of her and keep me awake

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I try to use more love songs to drown out my thoughts of her, but it only keeps me up all night

OK, back when I was sleepin' in my mama crib
Let me take you back to a time when I lived with my mother

Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Even during my time living in an unfamiliar place with my friend Mohammed

Payin' seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
I was paying a significant amount for rent, but it was worth it

No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent? Had a thing for you
I didn't have heating, but I generated warmth and good music. Can I share my feelings? I had feelings for you

Even wrote the song dreams for you
I even wrote a song about my aspirations and fantasies involving you

'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
Because I had aspirations and envisioned being committed to you, even thinking of marriage

Childish shit, you know childish shit
Looking back, it was naive and immature, you know, childish stuff

Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
I sent flowers anonymously, it was a cowardly act

Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Now that I'm signed to JAY-Z, it feels like I've gained control and authority in a relationship

Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
I've matured since then, and now I consider this city as my kingdom

The same clubs I used to get tossed out
I used to be rejected from the same clubs I now dominate

Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
Life took unexpected turns, completely changing my circumstances

'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
Because now I'm in this situation and I have full control and confidence

Old chicks cryin' 'cause they know that they lost out
Past relationships regretting their decision to let me go

But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
But I'm still thinking about you, still focused on you

My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you, I'm saying
While I was enjoying your company, my drink accidentally spilled on me, but I didn't mind and continued to express my feelings

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
Do you trust me when I say that I'm deeply in love? My desire is for you to desire me

Well this has gotta be the longest crush ever
This has to be the longest period of infatuation I've experienced

If I ever get to fuck it'd be the longest bust ever
If I ever get the chance to be intimate with her, it would be the most satisfying experience

Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever and
Love is an addictive and potent substance, comparable to the most powerful drugs

Fuck it I'm on one, you feel me?
Screw it, I'm feeling the effects of love and its intensity, do you understand me?

She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
She has control over me, manipulating me to fulfill her desires

Wifin' in the club, man my homies' gon' disown a nigga
Publicly showing affection towards her in the club, my friends would be disappointed in me

Like, give me 20 dolla', dolla'
Asking me for money, wanting to take advantage of my resources

Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
She may be physically attractive, but I question how she managed to attend college

I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
I'm in your city and I'm curious if you're currently at home

Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
I heard you found a new partner, but I still hope that you're currently single

Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliche
I can't help but feel like I missed an opportunity or made a mistake, it's a common cliche

I used to pop up on you at the mall, each day
In the past, I used to surprise you by appearing at the mall every day

Now typically I kick game like Eastbay
Normally, I flirt or charm people effortlessly, like how Eastbay sells athletic footwear effortlessly

But you got a nigga freeze-framed yelling please play
But you have me stunned and immobilized, begging for your attention

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
For goodness' sake, my friend, please gather yourself and regain control

Just fuck her one time and be through it forever, but
Just have sex with her once and be done with it forever, but...

Got me open all night
She has me captivated and unable to sleep all night

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
I can't help but express my emotions through love songs, and she keeps me awake all night

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
I try to drown my thoughts with alcohol and more love songs, but she still keeps me awake all night

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
I feel hopeless and depressed while listening to love songs, as they remind me of her and keep me awake all night

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I try to use more love songs to drown out my thoughts of her, but it only keeps me up all night

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
All I can think about and express through music are love songs because of her

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I try to numb my feelings with alcohol and more love songs, but she still keeps me awake all night

Down and out with these love songs, she got me open all night uh huh
I feel defeated and overwhelmed by these love songs, she has complete control and keeps me awake all night, uh huh

Got me open all night hey
She has me captivated and unable to sleep all night, hey
