And I know the money don't really make me whole

The magazine covers drenched in gold

The dreams of granny in mansion and happy

The little things I need to save my soul

And I know the money don't really make me whole

The magazine covers drenched in gold

The dreams of granny in mansion and happy

The little things I need to save my soul

[Verse 1: Noname]

Who am I? Gypsy rap, Gypsy need her dollar back

And all of that, my devil's only closer when I call him back

Liquor in a limelight, lick her in the limelight

With fine wine and ecstasy, you can have the rest of me

Basket-case, silhouette, cigarette, internet

Check my twitter page for something holier than black death

Who am I? Gypsy Black, the vacancy of Hallelu

Me hollow in my interviews

Me only wearing tennis shoes to clubs with dress codes

'Cause fuck they clubs

Everything is everything, me Noname, you niggas doing cocaine

Me missing Brother Mike, like, something heavy

Me heart just wasn't ready, I wish I was a kid again

[Chorus: Akenya, TheMIND & Noname]

When the sun is going down

When the dark is out to stay

I picture your smile

Like it was yesterday

When the sun is going down

When the dark is out to stay

I picture your smile

Like it was yesterday

[Verse 2: Noname]

When I remember memories don't last forever

When I deny my empty with an open letter

Who gon' remember me? My satellite, my empathy

The wheels be chrome, chrome spiffy, the Lord with me

My halo said goodbye, and the floor hit me

Fill the lining in the pine box, my granny fill the time slot

"Don't grow up too soon, don't blow the candles out

Don't let them cops get you"

My granny almost Sparrow, I can see the wings

The choir sings, and la da di la di da da da, dah

Only He can save my soul

[Refrain: Noname]

And I know the money don't really make me whole

The magazine covers drenched in gold

The dreams of granny in mansion and happy

The little things I need to save my soul

[Chorus: Akenya, TheMIND & Noname]

When the sun is going down

When the dark is out to stay

I picture your smile

Like it was yesterday

When the sun is going down

When the dark is out to stay

I picture your smile

Like it was yesterday

[Outro: Noname, Akenya & TheMIND]

When the sun is

When the sun is

When the sun is

When the sun is going down
