Lyrics

Role Models

They question my gangster, they say that it's fake
Rockin' dickies and band tees, I'll play you in skate
Surrounded by villains I cannot escape
I can't stand these niggas, the things that they say
Then I found light in the darkness
Listening to James, Scott and Ye
Locked in my room, you can't stop it
One more song, I might fly away
Every word feels like a drug
Role models
Take me high, take me high, oh
False idols
Give it up, give it up, oh
Never the right time
Life doesn't feel right
Role models
Take me high, take me high, oh
Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh, oh
Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh
Check again, check again, check again
I was seventeen (woah)
On my nigga shit stuck in their fantasies
Ain't no love for me (ain't no love for me)
Ramen noodles or starve? Just go to sleep
Swim inside (Oh, woah-woah, woah, woah, woah-woah)
Swimming inside of the dark
Ain't got nobody to call (yeah)
Then I found light in the darkness
Listening to James, Scott and Ye
Locked in my room, you can't stop it
One more song, I might fly away
Every word feels like a drug
Role models (ohh ho)
Take me high, take me high, oh
False idols (ohh, oh, ohh)
Give it up, give it up, oh
Never the right time
Life doesn't feel right
Role models
Take me high, take me high, oh
Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh, oh
Ohh, ohh, ohh-ohh
Check again, check again, check again (yeah)
(Darker times)
(Darker times)
(Darker times)
There's a storm coming
That's okay, can't be worse than what she's done to me
