Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love is what I'm rolling nigga
Smoke until the morning
Smoke to keep me going
Rowing down the river
River made of liquor
Headed for my liver
I hope love's a swimma
I'm trynna get ahead
I'm trynna get this bread
I'm trynna get some head
I'm damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't
It's "Holla fuck the world" with my chest full of smoke
My mind's in the Matrix
Talking to blue faces
Got some niggas hatin'
You should see their faces
Why can't they just face it, admit that I'm amazing
I know that I'm greatness, I'll prove it just be patient
I'm up till 6 in the morning, my mind's done turned a poet
This my Death Note, choppas what I let go like I got a trench coat
& I'm riding round, wit my fucking slime
Yeah you bet I'll slide thru
Ain't a thing bringin me down today
No way
No, no, no way Jose
