Bed Peace Lyrics

Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do my hair, gotta put on makeup
Gotta act like I care about this fake stuff
Straight up what a waste of my day
If I had it my way I'd roll out of bed
Say bout 2:30 mid day
Hit the blunt then, hit you up to come over to my place
You show up right away
We make love then and then we fuck
And then you'd give me my space
Hey

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

Wake up, wake up, bake up
Gotta heat the vape up
Lets get faded
Gotta call your job tell em' you won't make it
Ain't nobody here baby lets get wasted
We should just get naked
'Cause I be working hard and I know you be on that same shit
Every other day's a different game that you just can't win
I just want to ease your mind and make you feel all right
So go head tell your baby mama you gon be with me tonight
Right

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make, so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

It's not love, but it's pretty close
Hot fudge and a little smoke
I didn't mean it means nothing to you
Hands locked on my black couch with nothing to do
Can't stop on cloud 20
Buried in the drugs, but the feels keeps coming
Finally stop crying, but your nose is still running
Wipe it on my shirt, haha I need sleep
You tell me that you wanna do it big
I love it when you say "guess what?" (What? What?)
Reading stories to some other nigga kid
And I wonder why I'm all messed up (up up up up)
'Cause we gotta be responsible sometimes
Being a class act nevermind my alumni
I don't wanna be a round a baby so dumb high
I don't see the beauty of a momma on insides
Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and the stress
If the world doesn't change then we'll never get dressed
It will be like this to the kiss of the death
Of my soul, bowl of the blue dream, no
Not a good team, once soul, two halves
No joke, who laughs?
Just us (Just us, just us)

Okay, got this OJ and Jose
Mixed it up with that Rose
We gon' do this our own way
Alright, okay
What is it that your smoking?
Piece it up with this peace and love
And this peace and love like the old days

What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it

We should stay right here
We should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here
You should stay right here
We should lay right here
'Cause everything is okay right here

Bed Peace

Los Angeles R&B singer songwriter Jhené Aiko began her career contributing backing vocals to recordings by the R&B boy band B2K. Her debut mixtape Sailing Soul, which was self-released in 2011, got her noticed and Aiko gained further attention after contributions to Big Sean's Hall Of Fame track "Beware" and Drake's Nothing Was The Same cuts, "From Time" and "Wu-Tang Forever." This was released as the lead single from Aiko's debut EP, Sail Out after she signed to Def Jam. "Sail Out basically means to be free," Aiko explained. "Go with the wind, you know, like a sailboat. I think that's really important when it comes to peace… inner peace especially. You can't help anyone else if you don't have it together for yourself."

The song features Childish Gambino, who combines rapping with writing for television, performing with his sketch group Derrick Comedy and acting on the NBC comedy Community under his real name of Donald Glover.

The single's artwork and video was inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 Bed-Ins for Peace protest against the Vietnam War. The clip finds Aiko and Gambino lying in bed in a Los Angeles hotel room while reporters interview them. They're both clad in all-white like Lennon and Ono's original protest. Aiko explained that it was her experience growing up in LA, which inspired her to advocate a movement for peace. "I grew up in LA, and there was a lot of stuff going on all the time," she stated. I've always been around noise and chaos."

Sail Out cruised to #8 on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart in its first week, making the record Def Jam Records' biggest-ever EP debut.

The song represents the fun and irresponsible side of Jhené Aiko. "When I wrote 'Bed Peace,' I knew that I wanted to make something more playful because I usually make sad songs about heartbreak," she told Radio.com . "So on this song, I took a different approach and decided to talk about what a perfect day would be like for me and a perfect lover. The song is all about slowing down every now and then and not worrying about anything but the moment."

Stay Ready Lyrics

We do not exist in
Any other instant
Here in this dimension
You and I are meant to be
I have waited lifetimes to find you
Now that you're here
I can remind you
Of the things you've been dreamin'
Times two
I promise you
If you just give me 24
Man, all I need is 24 hours
I promise you'll want plenty more
You'll probably be with it forever
So how does it sound
Us on the ground
Giving you my love?
There's no place quite like here
There's no better time than now
You gotta Stay Ready
There's no place quite like here
There's no better time than now
That's why I stay ready

Tell me find your spot with the warning that I might slip
And when you climb on top that's the ultimate road trip
Ride on my like your Pac got me thinkin' it's 96'
I can rap on some nineties shit, wrap your leggings around my hip
I'm so hip to it tourists want to come speculate
But if I stay monogamous promise this kiss will always taste like candy
And yea, it's obvious momma now probably can't stand me
I'm sure they're tired of this look that you have when you're antsy
We gon' fuck around (Mm) we gon' fuck around
And triple through triplets of babies right now
And that might break the record and no, that don't mean you're fertile
That means we're fucking reckless, plus we don't use protection
I find myself reading old text messages when I'm bored
We find ourselves sexting 'til that connection is restored
I know that sounds immature, but if we never grow up
Then I wish you good luck on the seas that's inside this wall

Come to me
Come, come to me
Look at what you've done to me
You put a gun to me
Then you brought the sun to me

Shine like blood diamonds
Learning to have patience
Only cause you are timeless
The universe energy doesn't lie
And this chemistry is infinity at a million
Times
I wrote a million rhymes to scrabble your
Star power
Now the 24 bars, you get 24 hours

There's no place quite like here
There's no better time than now
You gotta stay ready
There's no place quite like here
There's no better time than now
That's why I stay ready

All that I know is right now
Nothing's for sure but, right now
Gotta get yours like, right now

All that I know is right now
Nothing's for sure but, right now
Gotta get yours like, right now

I been through some shit man
But I be on my shit man
I decided
That what you give
Is what you're given
So I been tryna do it right
I been doin' like
Whatever gets me through the night

What a life

I'm steady always on the go
You steady always on the go
We steady losin' all control

What a life

They say
The truth ain't pretty
But comin' from that pretty mouth
The truth is fitting
'Cause you ain't never talkin' loud
And you know plenty
Yea you know what I'm talkin' bout
'Cause you just get me
Yeah you so pretty

If everything is dipped in gold
Then baby it will never grow
Everything sweet ain't sugar coated

What a lie

What a life
What a life that I've been given
What a life
What a life that I been living
What a life
What a life we die to live in
What a life

Stay Ready

Aiko first collaborated with Kendrick Lamar on his 2010 track "Growing Apart (To Get Closer)," and this tune finds the LA songstress teaming up with the Compton rapper again. Aiko told Radio.com that after hearing Lamar spitting about monogamy on his verse, she decided to change her own lyrics up a bit. "When I recorded the song, I wanted to keep it simple and sexy," Aiko explained. "But when he sent me back his verse, I realized the song could be more than that, so I decided to elaborate on my original verse and stop being lazy."

Aiko also released an alternate version in which her alter ego J Henny replaced Kendrick Lamar's verse. She told Rap-Up.com that J Henny had a bit of fire in her. "She still sings, but she's more aggressive," Aiko explained. "She likes to really talk a lot of s--t and talk about things that a lot of R&B singers don’t talk about."

The Vapors Lyrics

You been on my mind
I been tryna let it go
I been tryna find
Somethin' as incredible
As you and I
But that's a never no
Feeling can't compare to you
You just gotta let me know

Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?

You stay on the grind
I'm always available
Rollin' in my ride
So I gotta take it slow
You got me so high
Up, up and away we go
Racing to the sky
I'm feeling unfadable
'Cause The Vapors
Can save us
And take us
And make us believe
That we are free
We can be free
So can I please

Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?

Please don't rain on my parade
The falling from the sky
Just remind of the days when you was crying for attention
I ignored it as a phase until you couldn't
Take the tension
Now I wish you would have stayed
Walking through the smoke and mirrors
I'm burdened, you burning bridges
Memories fading, faded it help you to not remember
The trials and tribulations
Eyes red from crying
The perfect way to disguise it you was
Blinded by our fate
Please don't rain on my parade because this
Float was built for you
Kinda hard to chase you down when you
Floating through the room
All you wanted was the truth and all I wanted was my way
Regardless how I word the phrase all you
Hear me say is

Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?

The Vapors

This was inspired by a G Pen Vaporizer that Aizo bought for smoking weed. She explained to Artist Direct : "The song started out with me talking about a guy and how I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was also writing the song while I was under the influence of this G Pen. For me, vaporizers give you a cleaner high. It's in small doses so it's not like you're out of this world, but they make you feel a certain way. I wanted it to be a double entendre."

"That was one of my favorite songs to write," Aiko continued. "I wanted to convey my feelings of how 'The Vapors' make me feel. Keep in mind it could be about a guy also. I wanted it to represent how I felt about both without compromising or lying about the other. If you take it as I'm talking about vaping weed or talking about a guy, it makes sense in both cases."

Comfort Inn Ending (Freestyle) Lyrics

Comfort Inn Ending (Freestyle)

This song started off with a CD of beats given to her by Aiko's record label boss, producer No I.D. One of the instrumentals especially spoke to her. She told Artist Direct : "That's how I write. I will just write around his track and wait until I start saying or singing something along."

"I couldn't write anything to it," Aiko continued. "I was like, 'I love this track so far' so I went into the studio and just freestyle-d it. I was really going through it. I had just went through this heartbreak. I really felt like I wanted to tell that story. It was a freestyle."
