It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this Take a good four chords, let 'em loop as is And if it still got soul, then I realize It still feels good when you simplify 'Cause I've been waitin' for a while for a shot like this But another near hit is another near miss And I can smell the smoke, but it's no cigar I feel so close, yet I feel so far And I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (Hey) These false alarms Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this I let the music speak, not the publicist (Ooh) And the dream is big, but the van is small So give the keys and I'll give my heart 'Cause I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms, uh (Hey) Oh-oh, these false alarms I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (These false alarms) Yeah (Hey) Oh-oh, these false alarms Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms Clyde and Gracie sent this song across my desk and then They asked if I could shine some light, they'd hold it dear like venison I'm not no Edison, my club don't got no membership But I could use my penmanship to drop a couple gems and shit My fries come with some nuggets in my old age Couple grains of salt, I got some Goya and some Old Bay I wrote a couple hits on the piano in my foyer Labels try to holla for my bread, I tell 'em, "Oy vey" Make sure you keep your masters so these assholes don't get shoppin' sprees Fame is overrated and Live Nation's a monopoly Don't ever stress the credit if your check comes with the royalties And hype is somethin' someone needs when fans can't give you loyalty Every mistake I made is like an institute Y'all could be the two-point-oh, I say it in my interviews I had to pick a single thing, the only thing I'm givin' you Keep one foot in the future and the other in the livin' room, wow (Ah) It's been a while since I went and wrote a song like this (It's been a while, it's been a while) And yeah, I've knocked a few things off my bucket list (Ooh) And I can feel my patience wearing thin Now it's barely up or it's barely in And I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (Don't you know now) Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms (Oh, hey) Oh, these false alarms (These false alarms) Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms Na-na-na-na-na (Hey) Ooh-oh, these false alarms Yeah, I'm getting sick and tired of these false alarms
