Power Trip
J Cole ft Miguel Lyrics

Got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
The woman he's in love with has him staying up all night with only love songs on his mind

She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
She has him up all night, not only singing love songs but also constantly drinking

She got me up all night, down and out with these love songs
Her love has him feeling down and out, and all he can do is sing love songs

She got me up all night, drownin' out with these love songs
He's drowning out his thoughts with love songs because of how much he's in love with her

She got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
He can't stop singing love songs about her because of how deeply he feels for her

She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
Her love has him turning to alcohol and constantly singing about his feelings for her

She got me up all night, down and out with these love songs
He's feeling down and out because of his love for her, and can't stop singing love songs

She got me open all night, got me open all night
Her love has him completely open and vulnerable, and it's keeping him up all night

Okay, back when I was sleepin' in my mama's crib
He's reminiscing about his earlier days, when he was still living with his mother

Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
He's reflecting on a time when he was up in his friend Mohammed's place, still not able to afford his own place

Payin' seventeen hundred for the rent, money well spent
Although he was paying a lot of money for rent, he felt it was worth it

No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent
Even though he didn't have a heater, he was still able to create heat, and he's venting about his past struggles

Had a thing for you, even wrote the song dreams for you
He had feelings for the woman he's currently obsessing over, to the point of writing a song for her

'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
His feelings for her were so strong that he had dreams of marrying her

Childish shit, you know childish shit
He acknowledges that his past actions towards her were childish

Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
He sent her anonymous flowers because he was too cowardly to express his feelings for her openly

Now a nigga signed to hove, took a power trip
He's now signed to Jay-Z's record label and feels like he's on a power trip

Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
He's now grown up and feels like he's king of his city

The same clubs I used to get tossed out
He used to get kicked out of these clubs, but now he's able to get in and be the star

Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
His life took a complete turn, and everything feels like it's upside down

'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
He's now in control and feels like a total boss

Old chicks cryin' cause they know that they lost out
His former lovers are crying because they lost out on him and his success

But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
Despite his success, he's still stuck on the woman he's in love with

My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you I'm saying
He spilled his drink on himself while trying to touch her, showing how nervous and clumsy he is around her

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
He's asking if she would believe him if he told her he was in love with her

Baby, I want you to want me
He's expressing his desire for her to want him back

Well this has gotta be the longest crush ever
He's been crushing on her for a long time and can't seem to shake his feelings

If I ever get to fuck it'd be the longest bust ever
If they ever have sex, it would be the best and longest experience ever

Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever
Love is addictive and feels like a powerful drug

And, fuck it I'm on my own, you feel me?
He doesn't care what anyone else thinks, and is going after what he wants on his own terms

She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
The woman he's in love with has control over him and has him wrapped around her finger

Wifin' in the club, man my homies' gon' disown a nigga
His friends would disown him if they knew he was trying to be in a relationship with this woman

Like, give me twenty dolla, dolla
He's jokingly asking for money from someone

Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
Her butt is so amazing that he can't believe she made it through college without endless distractions

I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
He's in her town and wondering if she's at home

Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you alone now
She has a boyfriend but he's hoping she's single now

Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliche
He feels like he missed his chance with her and it's become a cliche situation

I used to pop up on you at the mall each day
He used to follow her around at the mall every day

Now typically I kick game like East bay
He's usually confident with women, but she has him feeling nervous

But you got a nigga freeze framed yellin', please play!
She has him feeling frozen and begging for her attention

For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
He's trying to motivate himself to get his act together and take control of the situation

Just fuck her one time and be through it forever, but
He's thinking that he should just have sex with her once and move on, but he can't seem to shake his feelings for her

Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
He's asking again if she would believe him if he told her he's in love with her

Baby, I want you to want me
He's still expressing his desire for her to want him back

Got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
He's still consumed with thoughts of her, and can't stop singing love songs

She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
He's still drinking and singing love songs because of his feelings for her, and can't get her off his mind

She got me up all night, down and out with these love songs
His love for her has him feeling down and out, and all he can do is sing love songs

She got me up all night, drownin' out with these love songs
He's drowning out his thoughts with love songs because of how much he's in love with her

She got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
He can't stop singing love songs about her because of how deeply he feels for her

She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
Her love has him turning to alcohol and constantly singing about his feelings for her

She got me up all night, down and out with these love songs
He's feeling down and out because of his love for her, and can't stop singing love songs

She got me open all night, got me open all night
Her love has him completely open and vulnerable, and it's keeping him up all night
