"WHITE ELEPHANT" lyrics
(feat. Xavier Omär)
She said "Why didn't you call me earlier?
Please don't say you forgot" yeah, that's a dirty word
We ain't leaving the crib until the 31st
I should be dancing with you, doing the dirty bird
My uncle got my gold and a wise man
He retired early, he was working in finance
My grandma, 87, she just came back from Thailand
My little sis playin' Taylor Swift, she gon' line dance
I'm like shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake 'em
Put me in a circle of family, and watch me take 'em
Call of Duty, sniping you, hogging the PlayStation
I don't want politics ruining this conversation
Where did I go wrong
Got you everything you want
But you don't need it
You just need me
Need me, yeah
She said "Why didn't you call me earlier?
Please don't say you forgot" yeah, that's a dirty word
We ain't leaving the crib until the 31st
I should be dancing with you, doing the dirty bird
At twelve my dad pulled me aside
He said, "I'ma do my best, but I just lost my job"
And twenty years later, man, I never forgot
He showed me how a real man doesn't quit, he gon' put up a fight
It's like, what's the point of gifts if you don't got the presence?
How you supposed to know if you don't got directions?
I'm a blessed man, no need for manifestin'
Let me see those hands in the sky like a question
Where did I go wrong
Got you everything you want
But you don't need it
You just need me
Need me, yeah
She said "Why didn't you call me earlier?
Please don't say you forgot" yeah, that's a dirty word
We ain't leaving the crib until the 31st
I should be dancing with you, doing the dirty bird
Please don't say you forgot" yeah, that's a dirty word
We ain't leaving the crib until the 31st
I should be dancing with you, doing the dirty bird
My uncle got my gold and a wise man
He retired early, he was working in finance
My grandma, 87, she just came back from Thailand
My little sis playin' Taylor Swift, she gon' line dance
I'm like shake it off, shake it off, shake it off, shake 'em
Put me in a circle of family, and watch me take 'em
Call of Duty, sniping you, hogging the PlayStation
I don't want politics ruining this conversation
Where did I go wrong
Got you everything you want
But you don't need it
You just need me
Need me, yeah
She said "Why didn't you call me earlier?
Please don't say you forgot" yeah, that's a dirty word
We ain't leaving the crib until the 31st
