big city blues Lyrics
Charlie Shuffler on the beat
[Verse 1: Lil Peep]
I just wanna see you smile
I just wanna make you mine
We can spend time, smoke away the time
We can go anywhere you ever wanted
Anything you ever dreamed
I can make your dreams come true (Come true)
I'll be on my own, no crew (Crew)
Out here makin' these moves (Yeah yeah)
Singin' these big city blues (City, yeah)
I don't wanna think about you (Nah, nah)
Every time I think about you (You)
I swear I fall in love again (Damn)
I remember everything you said
Promise me it's real (Yeah)
Girl, I got a deal (Got a deal)
You could be my girl if I could be your world
Promise me it's real (Yeah)
Girl, I got a deal (Ayy)
You could be my girl if I could be your world
[Refrain: Lil Peep]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Cold Hart, Cold Hart
And we can leave this club
And we can get fucked up
In the back of the Chevy
Girl, I felt your heart beatin' heavy for me (Woah)
And I just wanna see you shine (Shine)
Girl, you got stars for eyes (You do)
And she sweet like Texas tea
With an ass from Tennessee
And we can take the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna see you go
Sittin' drinkin' whiskey, hopin' that you'll miss me
Baby, say you do (Please say you do)
[Refrain: Cold Hart]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Maybe say you do
[Outro]

Crybaby, my favorite tape you ever made. It has all the homies on it and it’s almost like a time capsule of the early la days. I produced skyscrapers using a death cab for cutie sample and I knew u would be the only one who would gas the beat. And I remember Gus loved I was making these country-ish songs and we would talk about how we were boutta make the new country swag so he sent me big city blues and me and you to get on. Instantly I was like omg this is too smooth I gotta hop on ASAP. I didn’t like my original verse on me and you because my mic was shitty but I liked big city blues so we kept that one. The funny thing is Gus didn’t even care bout the mix he was just happy I got on so he kept it as it was And uploaded it :hearts:still singing these big city blues to this day buddy.
