Erewhon
by Bas
Chorus: The Hics
Outside coasting while I move a mile a minute
Aldi to Erewhon, that's some mileage on a feeling
I don't wanna spend no more money on you
Got a lotta problems, I'll pay for them too
Verse 1: The Hics
I wanna waste, I wanna waste some time
Run away, don't wanna wait in line with you
No, can't like it like you
Maybe I’m wrong, it's just a place in time
With or without, don't leave it undecided
No-no, no-no, can't hide this
Chorus: The Hics
Outside coasting while I move a mile a minute
Aldi to Erewhon, that's some mileage on a feeling
I don't wanna spend no more money on you
Got a lotta problems, I'll pay for them too
Verse 2: Saba
I paid for my problems, still got the receipt
Certain things I can't explain, you just had to see
The grocery store was Save-A-Lot across from the Walgreens
Ricochet the recipe, hope they pick up the pieces
Tried to turn a broken puzzle into something decent
Spent another dollar as if I don't even need it
Hmm, as if that's the only way to make a piece fit
Seven days later, but I haven't shown weakness, huh
Verse 2: Bas
I used to pray on this moment
I'm movin' forward and winnin'
I'm growin' numb to the feelin'
I need a day off for prayer, all the ways I be sinnin'
Tried to drown out my sorrows found out that they all be swimmin'
I'm livin' out my dreams like everyday's a fantasy
I got some folks around the world that's looking up to me
The girl I wanna wife, she fell in love wit me
Thought that would all suffice, why it ain’t enough for me?
I picked myself up, mapped it out, I'm movin' mountains
Somedays I count my blessings, other days the demons outweigh 'em
Sometimes I wonder what would they all do without me?
I fuck around, I'm findin' out I gotta move out the way
Chorus: The Hics
Outside coasting while I move a mile a minute
Aldi to Erewhon, that's some mileage on a feeling
I don't wanna spend no more money on you
Got a lotta problems I’ll pay for them too
