Lyrics:
I don't pray
I don't bend
But God, you are a blessing

Your heart has the sickest beat
Did King Midas teach you how to turn the world to gold
Unfold your mind
Let me hold your pain for some time
Well, and I'm terrible at shaking off the darkness of a bad day
But hearing your voice
Is like feeling sun rays
You make the world so bright
You fight like hell to bring the light

How did you get so good
How did you get so kind
How did you get so good (Ha)
How did you get so kind

A queen lookin' for you to last her
In the bed we so base we a bastard
And I don't mean to rush it
Don't want you to bust it
But you make me want to scream faster
We got people on people
We winnin' the masses
Don't give a fuck about measuring assets
Cap on the top
Call a bitch, not a cop
Fuckin' out our degree in theatrics
Livin' out all the fantasies that we could dream
Makes it better that you're such a lovable king
Add another on top and we got a good spot
Where you take me to places that I've never seen
Catch me traveling the world
A switch up on the rhythm
Catch the nuance of the girls
Finding treasures, finding pearls
Learn the value of a swirl
Buy a ticket for the visit
Tryin' out the tilt-a-whirl
Fuzzy duck
Ducky fuzz
Does he fuck
FUCK HE DOES
What makes it even better is that this could be love (Just to fuck around)
(Damn)
Baby, stay forever and a day
Learn to play with my body in a hundred different ways
Learn to link up all the dots
With the soul, with the thoughts
Till' the drums cut you off going ra-tah-tah

How did you get so good (How did you get so good)
How did you get so kind (Come on)
How did you get so good (Tell me, Tell me)
How did you get so kind
How did you get so good
How did you get so kind (Mmhmm)
How did you get so good (Baby)
How did you get so kind

[Outro]
If you wanna take me down
If you wanna take me down
If you wanna take me down
Baby will you take me down
If you wanna take me down
If you wanna take me down
Baby will you take me down, down, down, down, down, down
Down South
