Retail Therapy Lyrics
[Intro: Central Cee]
(You are now listening to Young Chencs)
(Nastylgia)
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Fly, fly uptown when I'm feeling down
I wanna do retail therapy (I wanna do retail therapy)
B-been with the gang all week
I need some female energy (Need some female energy)
Sucked my soul, I lost my breath
She got me breathing heavily (She got me breathing heavily)
Toxic relationship with my queen, but me and the T got chemistry
To-to-told her that I'm a Gemini, now she on Google checking the compatibility
She wanna see if I got the agility
She wanna see if I got the ability, huh
I went 'round three, she want round four, she killing me, huh
ADHD, my trigger finger fidgety
[Verse 1: Central Cee]
My trigger finger fidgeting (I feel like)
I feel like I need amphetamine
We had the party tun', off the MDMA and ketamine
My-my bro get a box and step on it
Gang make money off rock, Led Zeppelin
One call away from a tent and tape
One call, and they get to stepping (Get to stepping)
The bando hostile, but if it weren't for the trap house
I'd be popped down
Of course, I would've made an M on tour last year if it weren't for the lockdown
They wanna f**k, now we got the top down
What 'bout when we had the beat-down Honda?
Shoutout FK, I had no sponsor
Most of my team from the West, no Thunder
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Fly, fly uptown when I'm feeling down
I wanna do retail therapy (I wanna do retail therapy), uh
B-been with the gang all week
I need some female energy (Need some female energy)
Sucked my soul, I lost my breath
She got me breathing heavily (She got me breathing heavily)
Toxic relationship with my queen, but me and the T got chemistry
To-to-told her that I'm a Gemini, now she on Google checking the compatibility
She wanna see if I got the agility
She wanna see if I got the ability, huh
I went 'round three, she want round four, she killing me, huh
ADHD, my trigger finger fidgety
[Verse 2: Central Cee]
Walk in, walk in wardrobe look like the stockroom
Mum said I'm materialistic, when you're the boss, that sh!t will cost
I'm buying my mumzy a crib for Christmas
I'm living a movie, but it ain't scripted
God is my witness, get out my business
Back in the day, I had one pair of trainers
I wore that sh!t 'til it gave me blisters, huh
None of my cats had whiskers, G-check that if his face familiar
Went OT and I came back skinnier, Pyrex pot full of white like Nivea
Time zone getting annoying, I'm half asleep and getting a call from Australia
Two tour buses, I'm doing up road
One clean, one full up of paraphernalia
[Chorus: Central Cee]
Fly, fly uptown when I'm feeling down (I wanna do retail therapy)
Uh, b-been with the gang all week (I need some female energy)
Sucked my soul, I lost my breath (She got me breathing heavily)
Toxic relationship with my queen, but me and the T got chemistry
To-to-told her that I'm a Gemini, now she on Google checking the compatibility
She wanna see if I got the agility
She wanna see if I got the ability, huh
I went 'round three, she want round four, she killing me, huh
ADHD, my trigger finger fidgety
[Outro: Central Cee]
Fly uptown when I'm feeling down
Fly uptown when I'm feeling down
I wanna do retail therapy
I wanna do retail therapy
