Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Uh)
Fuck it I'm back and I'm better
Bro toting that Glock
He don't fuck with Berettas
Niggas be thinking they up and be clever
Told bro Imma slide cause I'm down for whatever
Nigga that fat shit rolling when he pull that lever
Get up on who? on me? nigga never

Nigga i slide with that fat shit changing the weather
Bitch if it's up then it's stuck, I beef with whoever
(Uh)
She like the way that I flow on the beat
Pour a four in my cup then I fight my sleep
Hit that bitch from the back had her beating her feet
Get that slapping that fat shit I move with the smith
Niggas really be mad it ain't happen like this
She put dick in your mouth when you give her a kiss
I put dick in her mouth then she swallow my kids
They be calling him four but he walk with the fifth
(Yea)
Four creep in that night like a mufuckin' panther
We wrapping up bags give em out like Santa
Not talking bout danny when I talk bout phantoms
Excuse my grammar, I ain't no pastor
Whip out the stick, nigga turn into Casper
He got shot on his block and that shit tragic
Big fifth on my hip this shit do damage
(Shit do damage)
(Yea)
Four nick in my bag I bust too quick
Yea I stay with my dawg like morty and rick
Don't come round here if you don't fuck with this clique
When shit went down I heard you ain't click
Bitch on my lap she chewing my dick
Yea I said it already imm say it again
Four fifth on my hip and it's matching my fit
Bitch get lit off the bottle
If I see lights I'm smashing that throttle
I think with my dick if she look like a model
Two sticks in my dip when I walk imma waddle
Nigga I hop out that water and swim with my paddle
She get to riding my dick like she put on a saddle
Niggas be snake I'm hearing them rattle
Niggas be telling and telling em tattle
(Uh)
It's a sweet move nigga me and my man
Factory Glock and I bet it won't jam
Told Brodie stay low gotta stick to the plan
That bitch get the work done I put that bitch in command
Nigga purp out nigga we spin like a fan
Most of these niggas be lamb

Nigga got hit in the face
Shh dam

Line by Line Meaning

When you were here before
Back when you were in my life

Couldn't look you in the eye
I was too shy to make eye contact with you

You're just like an angel
You're a beautiful and angelic person

Your skin makes me cry
Your beauty is so overwhelming that it brings me to tears

You float like a feather
You have a graceful and light presence

In a beautiful world
In a world that seems serene and perfect

You're so very special
You're truly one-of-a-kind

I wish I was special
I wish I had something unique about me

But I'm a creep
But instead, I feel like an unwanted and strange person

I'm a weirdo
I don't fit in with the rest of society

What the hell am I doing here?
I don't know why I'm in this situation or place
