They say I got to have a plan, I say if you don't burn you won't tan 
They say I gotta watch myself, I have my cake and watch it melt 
Uh, I'm in a pocket with a rocket, I'm a cock it and blow the roof off this 
Boojy club 
F*ck the haters give me some love 
Don't be so pretentious, I fit gold like a dentist 
And if I said it, then I meant it 
He a soccer playa, he head it 

I'm going lightspeed 
Drinking rice dream, drippin visine 
Bitch cover your eyes you won't find me 
Even beside me, you behind me 

By the time you on it I'll be off it 
By the time you get it I'll be done with it 
You kn-o-ow that we be goin' lightspeed 
Ahead, everybody told me I should slow down 
But instead, all I can do is take it lightspeed 
Outer-space and there is no calculation 
Tell me am I outta my head, oh are we really goin' lightspeed 

'We are experiencing some turbulence' 
It's the Cataracs! 
If you ain't on my flight you get in flown over 
Under a palm tree 
That's where I'm lyin' like when I tell people I'm sober 
Got a devil on one shoulder and a angel on the other one 
But I ain't never listen to none of 'em 

It's been a crazy road runnin' 
And I, I never stop runnin' 
People talking, 'bout somethin' 
But I, I never heard nothin' 
The sun is set and the clouds are movin' 
The sky is black and I'm used to it 
We awake all night who knew it 
I got a dark soul you can never see through it 

By the time you on it I'll be off it 
By the time you get it I'll be done with it 
You kn-o-ow that we be goin' lightspeed 
Ahead, everybody told me I should slow down 
But instead, all I can do is take it lightspeed 
Outer-space and there is no calculation 
Tell me am I outta my head, oh are we really goin' lightspeed 

'We are experiencing some tuuurrr-- some tuuurrbb' 
It's the Cataracs! 

Are we really goin' lightspeed 
Are we really goin' lightspeed 
Are we really goin' lightspeed
