Afterlife
2Scratch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' like I died and I live my afterlife, yeah
If I really die, yeah, I got to do it high
If I really die (die, motherfucking, die, die)
Livin' afterlife, yeah, my time is runnin' by
Got some tears in my eyes, but I ain't really cry, yeah
Bitches on my side always ask me, "Are you fine?"
Am I really fine? (Am I fine, bro, no)
Am I really fine, yeah
Don't need a nine by my side, ain't no lie, yeah
Ain't no love in my heart and my mind, yeah
Like I'm blind now
See I'm a real dude, went through
If shit goes down, you meet the real you
That's true
Some people never fill their dreams, no
Hard way, but I saw people that just broke through
Broke through
Feel like I did it
Still feeling loosed, still got no fucking win
Need someone like you, you fucking with my shit
With you on my side I overcome every hill
That ain't no lie, I love the way you did it
Love the way you smile
Love the way you move
Just got me hypnotized
My time is runnin' by
Feelin' like I died
Dreaming 'bout my life
Living my afterlife, yeah
Livin' through the night and my time is runnin' by
Feelin' like I died and I live my afterlife, yeah
If I really die, yeah, I got to do it high
If I really die (die, motherfucking, die, die)
Livin' afterlife, yeah, my time is runnin' by
Got some tears in my eyes, but I ain't really cry, yeah
Bitches on my side always ask me "Are you fine?"
Am I really fine? (Am I fine, bro, no)
I just been drunk, tell them I'm not high
Livin' my life, but don't feel some inside, ayy
Pull the trigger down and hit the drum, ayy
Just wanna get the money, then I'm gone, ayy
I'm just tryin' to think that I ain't done, ayy
While I'm gettin' chased by all the sirens
You don't think they worry, but they do
You can hear your mama cry, but you will leave her too
She don't ever thought her little boy do what he do
She will do her prayers with the devil next to you
With the devil next to you
Dumb boy, he won't make you bulletproof
I know, thats what he said he do
I know, that's what he said he'd-
Livin' through the night and my time is runnin' by
Feelin' like I died and I live my afterlife, yeah
If I really die, yeah, I got to do it high
If I really die (die, motherfucking, die, die)
Livin' afterlife, yeah, my time is runnin' by
Got some tears in my eyes, but I ain't really cry, yeah
Bitches on my side always ask me, "Are you fine?"
Am I really fine? (Am I fine, bro, no)
