The Reason
フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's a genius
In the shadows, scheming
She gon' say she love me but don't got a reason
I wonder the meaning
Number nine, I met the Reaper on my back, like have you seen them
Royal red, it's regal
I finessed a Desert Eagle
Dumpin' at the people
Fell in love with violence, murder tatted on my eyelids
Sacrificed 'em at the island
Higher power, I see demons, know the reason now
Know the reason now
Ayy, I done got a 100,000, put it on my wrist
She don't really fuck with me but ignorance is bliss
A-ayy, I done got a 100,000, put it on my wrist




She don't really fuck with me but ignorance is bliss (Uh-huh)
Yeah, yeah, uh-huh
