Lyrics

[Intro: Wax] -don't know where to begin [Commentary: Wax & Kush Mody] Okay. Mhm This one has a different vibe than really- this- for me this song is new vibe I love the e- I love how you come in with that, "I" Yeah, me too, that was your idea It was so dope the way that you just said "I love it" uh, there's a voice memo of me listening to the beat and us kinda coming up with the- I don't know if we came up with it or if you already had it, the melody for the verse singing, but there's like a fun voicе memo. We should drop it in right herе of us kinda coming up with that initial spark. [Voice Memo: Wax] (I love that, I love that, dude! I fuckin', super love that) She had my world around, I had to be a saint She thought I was a saint, she fu- (Keep playing that part) [Commentary: Wax, Kush Mody, Both] So yeah, what you just heard was uh, a voice memo *Laugh* Nice, dude! You should do radio, that was good, you picked that up, dawg So yeah, this one we had- or actually I had this idea uh, I had the kinda the- the basic beat of it I think, you know what? I think you had the beat, which is a two-part beat, a A and B part Yeah But you had- that melody you already had Yeah, this melody right here But I remember I came up with this idea for these lyrics, and uh, this song really was inspired by I- when I first met my wife, I was still a cigarette smoker, and I wouldn't tell- Oh I never told her, y'know? And I felt so bad sneaking it, y'know? I think she probably knew, but I was really like, If I saw her at night, I wouldn't even smoke during the day. You know, like I was really careful how I smelled and stuff like that Yeah But I would like- I felt really guilty about how I was hiding this thing from her. Not to mention, to this day, uh, I kinda almost feel like she still doesn't know the full me because she never met me when I- Ah, yeah, yeah You knowm, before I quit drinkin', y'know w'I'm sayin'? Like, she doesn't know that I have like this- this wild animal inside of me that I have quel- quelched? Tamed Tamed is what I was going for Domesticated Yeah, so she only knows like this better version of me. She doesn't know like the devilish side of me and I- I guess when I wrote this song, I was like "one day, it's gonna find out, though" but I remember the- the chorus, we were tring to think of the lyrics and you were like, "just-" you were like, "what are thing- what are things that are around this idea? Like, nouns, y'know?" Yeah "Like cakes and sh- and whiskey" Yeah, mal- yeah, exactly, it's like a celebratory kinda like- it's like a- it's like a wedding day, y'know Right, but it's like, paint a picture with nouns, y'know what I'm sayin'?
