opening
Sawyer Nunes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I left my clothes at school today
Probably why my mom thinks I'm stupid
I'm always tired but I stay
Up late just for TV and music

Out here tryin' to live my best
But you know she can get it with a smile and a text
And I text her every single night for a week
Left on read another girl I'll never meet

And I woke up at twelve o'clock on a weekday
Homie, its a weekday, wish time could freeze frame
Please pray for your boy
Because he might be drowning in the water

Two a.m. still up
But I don't give a fuck
I've been listening to Frank on my speakers
I do what I want, when I want
Kick shit in a fresh pair of sneakers
Two a.m. still up
But I don't give a fuck
I've been listening to Frank on my speakers
I do what I want, when I want
Kick shit in a fresh pair of sneakers

Somebody better hold me back
I might do a little dance in the middle of the street
My minds all the way up in the clouds
Got my feet up with it, but my heart's in the trees

Right now you could call me back
But I'm a little bit distracted but stayin' in my lane
Homework that I won't do
Gotta work through all these melodies that live in my brain

Still got a 6s cause I can't commit
Cops already got my fingerprint
And if they want all of my music they can take it
Sell it to Atlantic, young kid never made it

Two a.m. still up
But I don't give a fuck
I've been listening to Frank on my speakers
I do what I want, when I want
Kick shit in a fresh pair of sneakers
Two a.m. still up
I don't give a fuck
I've been listening to Frank on my speakers




I do what I want, when I want
Kick shit in a fresh pair of (Hit it!)

Overall Meaning

He mentions being tired but staying up late for TV and music, showing that he uses these things as a way to escape from his problems.


He also talks about trying to live his best life but being distracted by a girl who he is texting every night. He is left on read, which shows that he is not getting the attention he wants. He mentions waking up at noon on a weekday and wishing time could freeze frame, which could be interpreted as him not wanting to face his responsibilities.
