Power Trip
J Cole feat. Miguel Lyrics

Got me up all night
I can't sleep, she's constantly on my mind

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
All I can listen to and think about is love songs because she's got me so caught up in my feelings

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
I'm drinking to numb the pain of being so deeply in love, but it's only making me think about her more

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night
I'm feeling pretty low because of my love for her and can't stop thinking about her, keeping me up all night

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I'm trying to drown out my thoughts with more love songs but it's only making it worse, thanks to her

OK, back when I was sleepin’ in my mama crib
I'm reminiscing to the past, how everything was simpler when I still lived at home

Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Even when I was staying with a friend named Mohammed, things were simpler than they are now

Payin’ seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
I enjoyed spending money on rent, while also acknowledging that it was a lot of money

No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent?
I had no heater in my apartment, but I was still making music that produced heat, if you'll let me vent about my experiences

Had a thing for you, Even wrote the song dreams for you
I had strong feelings for her, so much so that I wrote a song dedicated to her

'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
I saw a future with her where we were married and happy

Childish shit, you know childish shit
Looking back, I recognize that some of my feelings were childish and immature

Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
I sent flowers anonymously because I was too afraid to express my true feelings and put myself out there

Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Now that I'm signed to Jay-Z's record label, I feel powerful and like I'm on top of the world

Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
I'm back in my hometown and I feel like a grown man now, like everything is under my control

The same clubs I used to get tossed out
I used to not be able to get into these clubs, but now that I'm famous, I'm let right in

Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
My life has changed so much that the old version of me would hardly recognize me now

'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
Now that I'm successful and famous, I feel like I'm in charge and I'm dominating the scene

Old chicks cryin' 'cause they know that they lost out
Women from my past are upset because they didn't stay with me and now I'm successful and famous

But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
Despite all this success, I'm still hung up on this one girl

My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you, I'm saying
I was so caught up in the moment with her that I spilled my drink on myself and didn't even care

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
I'm putting it all out there and expressing my true feelings for her, hoping she feels the same way

Well this has gotta be the longest crush ever
I've been crushing on her for so long, it feels like it's been forever

If I ever get to fuck it'd be the longest bust ever
If we ever sleep together, it'll be the longest, most satisfying experience of my life

Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever and
Being in love feels like being on the strongest drug, and it's all-consuming

Fuck it I'm on one, you feel me?
I'm done holding back, I'm going all in on this relationship

She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
She has all the power in this relationship and can control me however she wants

Wifin' in the club, man my homies' gon' disown a nigga
My friends are going to disapprove of me getting so serious with this girl that I'm even wifing her in the club

Like, give me 20 dolla', dolla'
I'm exaggerating her request for money, making her seem shallow and materialistic

Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
I'm making fun of her for not being smart, despite the fact that she went to college

I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
I'm in her city and can't help wondering if she's available to see me

Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
She may have found someone else, but I'm still hoping she's single

Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliche
I feel like I missed my chance with her and it's a common, overdone feeling

I used to pop up on you at the mall, each day
I used to go out of my way to see her all the time, even if it meant following her to the mall every day

Now typically I kick game like Eastbay
Usually, I'm good at flirting and getting what I want, but not with her

But you got a nigga freeze-framed yelling please play
She's got me stuck, not sure what to do or say, and I'm begging for her to give me another chance

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
I'm telling myself to get a hold of myself and stop obsessing over this girl

Just fuck her one time and be through it forever, but
I'm telling myself to just have sex with her once to get it out of my system, but I know I won't be able to stop there

Got me open all night
She's got me so worked up and emotional that I can't sleep and am constantly thinking about her

All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
My thoughts and emotions are so consumed by her that all I can sing or think about is love songs

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
I'm drinking a lot and listening to love songs non-stop to try and deal with my feelings, but it's not working

Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night (all night)
These love songs are making me feel even worse about my situation and keeping me up all night

Drown it out with these love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I'm trying to use more love songs to drown out my own thoughts, but it's not working and just making things worse

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

Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night (yeah)
I'm trying to deal with my emotions by drinking and listening to love songs non-stop, but it's not helping

Down and out with these love songs, she got me open all night uh huh
These love songs are making me feel even more down and out about my situation, keeping me open and vulnerable all night

Got me open all night hey
She's got me completely open and vulnerable to my emotions and thoughts all night long
