Lyrics

Erewhon

[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 3: 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
