Got me up all night
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs
She got me up all night
Drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
Down and out with these love songs
She got me open all night (Uh-huh)
Got me open all night, hey
Okay, back when I was sleeping in my mama crib
Or even back when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Paying seventeen hundred for the rent, money well-spent
No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent
Had a thing for ya, even wrote the song "Dreams" for ya
'Cause I had dreams for ya, thoughts of a ring for ya
Childish shit, you know child and shit
Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward shit
Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Back home, I'm grown now, and the city's my throne now, huh
The same clubs that I used to get tossed out
Life got Kriss Krossed, totally crossed out
'Cause now I'm in this bitch and I'm totally bossed out
Old chicks crying 'cause they know that they lost out
But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
My drink spill on me, while I fill on you, I'm sayin'
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want ya
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
All I'm singin' is love songs
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are (She got me)
And we are, we are, we are (She got me)
Well, this has got to be the longest crush ever
If I ever get to fuck, it'd be the longest bust ever
Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever and
Fuck it, I'm on one, you feel me?
She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
Wife'ing in the club, man, my homies gon' disown a nigga
Like, give me 20 dollars, dollars
Ass stupid, how you get to college, college?
I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you're alone now
Can't help but feeling like I dropped the ball, cliché
I used to pop up on you at the mall each day
Now, typically I kick game, like East Bay
But you got a nigga freeze-framed yelling, please play
For Pete's sake, homie, pull it together
Just fuck her one time and be through with forever, but
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want ya, yeah
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
All I'm singin' is love songs
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are (She got me)
And we are, we are, we are (She got me)
Got me up all night (All night)
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night (All night)
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night (All night)
Down and out with these love songs
She got me up all night (All night)
Drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
All I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
Constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night (Yeah)
Down and out with these love songs
She got me open all night (Uh-huh)
Got me open all night, hey
Back when I was sleeping in my mama crib
About This Song
"Power Trip" is a sultry, confessional track that explores the intoxicating and destructive nature of obsessive love and desire. J. Cole delves into the psychological vulnerability that comes when someone gains complete emotional control over you, examining how infatuation can become a form of addiction that leaves you "open all night" and seeking solace in alcohol and melancholy music. The song's title cleverly plays on the dual meaning of "power trip" - both the rush of being with someone who captivates you and the manipulative control they wield over your emotions and actions. Miguel's smooth, R&B-influenced hook perfectly complements Cole's introspective verses, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that mirrors the cyclical nature of toxic attraction. The production features a dreamy, atmospheric beat with subtle trap influences and lush instrumentation that feels both contemporary and timeless. What makes the track particularly compelling is Cole's honest portrayal of masculine vulnerability, admitting to behaviors and feelings that many men struggle to acknowledge publicly. The song resonated with listeners because it captured the universal experience of being emotionally overwhelmed by someone, regardless of the consequences to your well-being. "Power Trip" became one of Cole's biggest commercial hits, showcasing his ability to blend conscious rap with mainstream appeal while maintaining his reputation for emotional authenticity and lyrical depth.
