Starving Artist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sure you’ve heard by now
That I am, I am no longer locked down
I’m circlin’ back, I’m back on your block now
So if I, if I come, would you come out? Oh, woah
[Pre-Chorus]
Only below the waist, get deep
Missin’ the taste of me
Nothin’ has changed, I see
Oh, woah, woah
Only below the waist, got me
Up at your place, no sleep
Nothin’ has changed, I see
Oh, woah, woah
[Chorus]
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
No bed frame, we can do it on the carpet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
Gray sweatpants, only thing in your closet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
[Verse 2]
I can trеat you for a night (Ha)
Babe, it’s free, just take a bite (Ha, ha)
Fingеr food is what I like (Ha)
You’re so well off, oh, woah
[Pre-Chorus]
Only below the waist, get deep
Missin’ the taste of me (Missin’ the taste)
Nothin’ has changed (Nothin’ has changed), I see
Oh, woah, woah
Only below the waist, got me
Up at your place, no sleep (Up at your place)
Nothin’ has changed (Nothin’ has changed), I see
Oh, woah, woah
[Chorus]
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
No bed frame, we can do it on the carpet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
Gray sweatpants, only thing in your closet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; Ha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; Ha, ha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; Ha)
So good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; Ha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; Ha)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah (Eat it; ha)
[Chorus]
Hey, do you still got the same apartment? (No, yeah)
No bed frame, we can do it on the carpet (No, yeah)
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits (No, yeah)
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
Hey, do you still got the same apartment? (No)
Gray sweatpants, only thing in your closet (Oh, yeah)
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
[Outro]
Hey, do you s—, hey, do you s—, hey, do you s—, hey, do you s—
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
No bed frame, we can do it on the carpet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
Hey, do you still got the same apartment?
Gray sweatpants, only thing in your closet
Nothin’ in the bank, but you’re makin’ deposits
Eat real good for a starvin’ artist
