lyrics

[Intro]
Let's go!

The one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Said, the one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Yeah, the one that I admire
Ain't no one convince me
That this one that I admire
Makes me want to sing
Yeah!

[Verse 1: King Leon]
Okay listen
Take a seat and let me handle this with a little constriction
Not a snake, but what I'm sayin' is, I got a little business
Kinda corny, but I gotta get this sh*t out in the open
And I
*breathe*
It's got me runnin out my breathe
A rap lyric goin to fast, not mumblin over raps
And I know most of y'all here are gonna be cringin'
When I let this particular cat outta the bag
See the topic for today comes in many shapes and forms
Mostly closely related to this game's a bunch of whores
But some interval, an odd miracle, when I look at this one in particular
I get these shivers bro
Now it's more than a rush of blood to the you know where
Got me writin' differently, Bruno Mars with the pen
But see somethin' different come over me since we met then
My thinkin' f*cked up, solely on this girl ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Sex, drugs, money, women
Views of materialism that I've taken livings in
Talks, sweet hugs and kisses
Overused movie tropes that I didn't know that I could live in
Less talk, more action
Can't believe I let y'all suckers let me live that message
Cuz when I go inside, my brethren
She's the only one that sells me

[Chorus]
The one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Said, the one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Yeah, the one that I admire
Ain't no one convince me
That this one that I admire
Makes me want to sing
Yeah!

[Verse 2: Kam]
Change colors, like you in the mood
Got the boogie, let me see you groove
Picnic, goin' out to eat
Anything baby my treat
Girl we could tour around the globe
Have stories when we gettin' old
Got the courage, oh I gettin' bold
Hand or heart is all I wanna hold
Baby girl all I want is you
Say you need, its forever true
Talkin' walks, goin' down the beach
Anything sweetie we could reach
Need a lecture? I can teach
Mario, Princess Peach
Got me slippin' girl, I'm in defeat
Other women they be obsolete

[Pre-Chorus]
Sex, drugs, money, women
Views of materialism that I've taken livings in
Talks, sweet hugs and kisses
Overused movie tropes that I didn't know that I could live in
Less talk, more action
Can't believe I let y'all suckers let me live that message
Cuz when I go inside, my brethren
She's the only one that sells me

[Chorus]
The one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Said, the one that I admire
Really gives it to me
Yeah, the one that I admire
Ain't no one convince me
That this one that I admire
Makes me want to sing
Yeah!

[Outro]
So, as all y'all can see
No, I won't disagree
She's the only one for me

Drawing inspiration from influential sounds of the 1960s and blending it into anthems for the gentrification-affected youth of Los Angeles. ... more
