Somebody remind me what happened last night
'Cause I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this Amnesia

Skepta, Charts
Last night was sick
Oh what a city I lost my phone though oh what a pity
When I woke up I found a note that said
Sorry I had to go ily
I looked around this can't be real
'Cause I don't recognize this
Then I saw the minibar and I was like rar
Somebody terrorized it

Not even a bottle of water
Make it worse this room was hotter than a sauna
So I jumped up got ready.
Went downstairs to the hotel lobby
Man are like swear down you're a mad man skeppy
I must have had one to many
'Cause I can't remember anything
After the two Jägermeisters and a bottle of Henny

Somebody remind me what happened last night
'Cause I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this Amnesia

Who you trying to diss?
Who did you fight with?
Who did you kiss?
Who did you dance with?
Who did you lits?
Aw man, you were a myth

I remember walking in blinded by the lights
Look left, look right
Saw two men that I don't like
But I already lit up the room when I walked in
No need for fireworks tonight
Unless it's on the side of a bottle
And I'm only here for one night on the high
So I'm trying to find me a model
We circled the party once
Nothing, twice
Dead third time around I saw a girl I tuck into bed
Two minutes later, I'm at the bar
Doing shots of Jäger
That's when I blacked out
Anything after that's all a myth
Like Lorrie Ager, major

Somebody remind me what happened last night
'Cause I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this amnesia

Who you trying to diss?
Who did you fight with?
Who did you kiss?
Who did you dance with?
Who did you lits?
Aw man, you were a myth!

We had one drink, two drink, three drink four
Had one too many, now you're laying on the floor
One drink, two drink, three drink, four
Had one too many, now you're laying on the floor

You lost your phone
You lost your friends
Now here comes that classic line
I'm never drinking again
Thought you were casually drinking
But you were actually binging
Woke up somewhere you've never been to in your whole life and now your thinking

Somebody remind me what happened last night
'Cause I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this Amnesia

Somebody remind me what happened last night
'Cause I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this amnesia
