Float
(the) ocean and i Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We step in the club I'm counting a dub
Ain't throwing no one's you blowing your check
Ain't neck n neck I ain't gotta flex
I'd die for respect spit like I'm
Spraying a tech out the coupe
Verbal abuse when I get in the booth
You balling on budget
Your girl wanna suck it I never refuse
I told her come through I'm slicker
Than Blade I walk in the day
Your gang wanna fight
Get Wesley Sniped amazon prime
You know it's on site
I never got time I can't miss a flight
I gotta reschedule still tucking my Metal
I'm switching the gear
You know that I'm solid
P on baby boy I might come n rob them
Need a prescription get sent to the Doctor
Bernie in life I'm all of they father
The kid going harder heard all of them Charges
You know ima dodge them
Not fading the boy If I do a bid
How long ima sit?
She wet like a fish can't ever resist
I hit and don't miss belt buckle we Click
Boy Scout I came wit a stick
Spark up a wood
Back out the drive made all of them Look
Adrien Bronner y'all niggas cooked
Forever I'm up you can't overlook
I don't do the static they cool with the Cappin ain't swerving no block
The hoes always flock
I step out the house I'm keeping a Glock
Protecting my top & protecting my Folk not sinking my boat

Bet we all float
I bet we all float
I don't do the static they cool with the Cappin ain't swerving no block
The hoes always flock
I step out the house I'm keeping a Glock
Protecting my top protecting my top
Self made stack up the lettuce
Romaine killing these pest
Spray the Raid bands do the talking
No parade I'm all on the mic going Stupid
Respecting the game Im a student
Real spill watch how I maneuver
I'm OG but young
Predicting the future slide over drums
& bass ain't produce it
Wanna hit you know we can do it
Don't play with your life
I told you that's foolish
Holding it down i don't know about Losing
Stay in my lane you know I don't Merge
Hear me on track that mean ima purge
Ain't buying no purse
Chasing no skirts I'm locked in
Never go in reverse I'm all about work
Until they put me in dirt
I'm the seed in the soil
Every rhyme Ima grow
Blocks glowing everywhere that I go
Two hundred K
I need that a show




IceBox neck n wrist is on froze
Grind mode this the life that I chose
