FourFiveSeconds
Rihanna Lyrics
I think I've had enough
I might get a little drunk
I say what's on my mind
I might do a little time
'Cause all of my kindness
Is taken for weakness
Now I'm four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
Ooh, that's all I want
Woke up an optimist
Sun was shinin', I'm positive (we can run, run)
Then I heard you was talkin' trash (I'm on a mystery)
Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz
Yeah, I'm 'bout four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear, I wish somebody would try me
Ooh, that's all I want
And I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin', "How could I be so selfish?"
But you called 'bout a thousand times
Wondering where I've been
Now I know that you're up tonight
Thinkin', "How could I be so reckless?"
But I just can't apologize
I hope you can understand, yeah
If I go to jail tonight
Promise you'll pay my bail
See, they wanna buy my pride
But that just ain't up for sale
See, all of my kindness, mm-hm
Is taken for weakness
Now I'm four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
I'm tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear, I wish somebody would tell me
Ooh, that's all I want
Four, five seconds from wildin'
And we got three more days 'til Friday
Just tryna make it back home by Monday mornin'
I swear, I wish somebody would tell me
'Cause that's all I want

“FourFiveSeconds” features vocals by Rihanna and Kanye West, and instrumentals by Sir Paul McCartney. It has earned praise for its minimalist instrumentals, which include acoustic guitar, cello, and organ, and for blending pop, hip-hop, country, and folk — an unprecedented mash-up for all three performers.
It was expected to be on her eighth album ANTI, but was not included. The album art for the single reads “Four Five Seconds” in Braille.

It was expected to be on her eighth album ANTI, but was not included. The album art for the single reads “Four Five Seconds” in Braille.
In an interview with V Magazine, Rihanna said she was attracted to the song because of the tension between its sound and its lyrical content:
"When you read the lyrics it’s a completely different song than what you are hearing. The music is easygoing, but the lyrical content is very loud and in your face."
Kanye has compared Rihanna’s vocals on the track to those of Scottish singer Annie Lennox (“the greatest white soul singer alive,” according to VH1).
The song peaked at number four on the Hot 100, becoming Rihanna’s 26th top ten song, McCartney’s 23rd (not counting his 34 with the Beatles), and West’s 15th. McCartney now holds the record for longest time between top ten hits, with 29 years between “FourFiveSeconds” and “Spies Like Us”, which charted on February 8th, 1986.

David Martin
The great Paul McCartney is content to be a wingman. Playing his bass. The definition of understated and cool.

@Luis G He is a Martin man. He used a D-10 as his main acoustic for decades. He may have switched for the video.
