The best radio on the planet
LYLYWW ooh ooh

What's it like up there
Is it where I wanna be
Just a year is what I need
I'm not good at catching up
You got everything but me
I need some time to breathe
I need some time it's

Sticky sticky ahh
I be getting tired
Silky smooth alarm
Wake up wake up wake up
See you from afar
Oozy out the jar
Honey milky bars
I'm right behind you so

Wait wait up
Time is not the issue
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna get you
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna catch you
'Til we can understand
Peanut butter jam

Who am I running after
What am I running after
Catching my breath (High)
Connecting the ship to the deck
Question from here to Quebec
Everything on me ready to go
Double-check verified
As I'm on my way up
Take a sec brush aside
All the negative vibes
Give or take I'm alive
Independent as fuck
I'm just trying to understand
Trying to understand

Sticky sticky ahh (Sticky sticky ahh)
I be getting tired (I be getting tired)
Silky smooth alarm (Silky smooth alarm)
Wake up wake up wake up
See you from afar (See you from afar)
Oozy out the jar (Oozy out the jar)
Honey milky bars (Honey milky bars)
I'm right behind you so

Wait wait up
Time is not the issue
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna get you
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna catch you
'Til we can understand
Peanut butter jam

I just wanted you to know
Let's do now like no tomorrow
I just want to see us grow
Just tryna catch you
'Til we can understand
(Just let me in)

Wait wait up
Time is not the issue
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna get you
Wait wait up
I'm just tryna catch you




'Til we can understand
Peanut butter jam
