Power Trip
J.Cole ft. Trey Songz Lyrics

Got me up all night
I cannot sleep because of her

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
I can't stop thinking about her, singing love songs all night

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
Drinking and listening to love songs all night because of her

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night
Feeling down and lost while listening to love songs because of her

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
Trying to drown her out with love songs but still can't sleep

OK, back when I was sleepin' in my mama crib
Reminiscing about when he was living with his mom

Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Thinking about his past in different places

Payin' seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
Thought it was worth it paying $1700 for rent

No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent?
No heat but he created heat himself. May he speak his mind?

Had a thing for you
Had a crush on her

Even wrote the song dreams for you
Wrote a song about his dreams for her

'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
Thinking about marrying her and having a future together

Childish shit, you know childish shit
Admitting that thinking about marriage was childish

Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
Sending flowers anonymously is a cowardly thing to do

Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Feeling powerful after signing to Jay-Z's label

Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
Feeling mature and in control in his hometown

The same clubs I used to get tossed out
Recalling how he used to get kicked out of clubs

Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
Feeling like his life got messed up and chaotic

'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
Feeling like a boss now and in control

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
Asking if she'd believe he's in love and he wants her to love him back

Well this has gotta be the longest crush ever
Realizing he's had a crush on her for a long time

If I ever get to fuck it'd be the longest bust ever
Having sex with her would be the biggest achievement ever

Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever and
Valuing love like a strong drug

Fuck it I'm on one, you feel me?
Feeling like he's under the influence of something powerful

She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
She knows how to control him and he's okay with it

Wifin' in the club, man my homies' gon' disown a nigga
Getting too attached to her in the club and his friends won't approve

Like, give me 20 dolla', dolla'
Asking her for money (possibly jokingly)

Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
She has a nice body, how did she end up in college?

I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
Visiting her city and hoping she's home

Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
Learning she found someone else but still hoping she's available

Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliche
Feeling like he missed an opportunity and it's a cliche situation

I used to pop up on you at the mall, each day
Randomly showing up at the mall to see her every day

Now typically I kick game like Eastbay
Usually good at flirting like Eastbay (a sports equipment store)

But you got a nigga freeze-framed yelling please play
Feeling helpless and begging her to give him a chance

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
For God's sake, get yourself together

Just fuck her one time and be through it forever, but
Considering having sex with her and moving on, but it's easier said than done

Got me open all night uh huh
Still thinking about her and unable to sleep

Got me up all night hey
She's keeping him up all night thinking about her
