Before I Met You by Carlos the Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m not the very best but I could be
You’re out my league but I’d love if you loved me
And I dont know where you go when the lights off
But when they on well you look more than lovely
And I’m the same as I am when the mics off
But I get that you don’t have to trust me
And I tell all these jokes I’m the damn worst
Don’t take it personal though yeah its just me
And I came in the game as a dumb kid
Now I’m a star shining bright like the sun is
Needing space so I’m up where the stars are
Be a while ‘fore I go where my mum is
I saw the moon in the sky in the day time
When I first really felt what love is
If they hate me, its cool, yeah I dont mind
Cos I know where to go when the tears hit
[Hook]
Before I met you I was
Not in the greatest place
There was a demon calling
I heard him say my name
Now when you’re by my side I
Don’t know what to say
Now theres no demon calling
I think we’ll be okay
[Bridge]
I hate that fake love
It doesn’t taste good
You’re my dream girl
Until I wake up
We hate the real world
So we just take drugs
And yeah we fuck babe
But we don’t make love
[Verse 2]
Before I met you I was living just to live
And now the prison I was in dont really feel very big
I was smaller as a kid but my dreams weren’t
My life a movie I’m about to make my dreamwork
Now when I’m down in the dumps and I’m so sad
I just smile for a minute say I seen worse
And I tell em bout my life, say its so bad
There was a time in my past where I seem cursed
But now they finally see my vision and the game plan
Old friends say I changed, I’m the same man
I grew up, grew out, grew patient
But when you finally doing good, yeah they hate that
Realised real life full of fake fans
Certain people bout as real as a spray tan
Shady as a new pair of Ray Bans
But come to learn that you can’t really blame them (yeah)
[Hook]
Before I met you I was
Not in the greatest place
There was a demon calling
I heard him say my name
Now when you’re by my side I
Don’t know what to say
Now theres no demon calling

[Bridge]
I hate that fake love
It doesn’t taste good
You’re my dream girl
Until I wake up
We hate the real world
