A.E.I.O.U. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Huuuuh
I always struggle with the 1st line
From then on these niggas finished
End up saying corny shit
Like how I ain't Dennis
But I'm a menace
Pardon the foul mouth
My bad
See I barely see the dentist
Been here for so long
All I ever wanted was to be a legend
Now they'll be watching real close
Waiting to see if he makes it
Ready to cite any mishaps
Have him totally alienated
Have him all stuck in thoughts
Have him trapped in the matrix
But in the chaos I stay calm
I tell you I feel like David
I'm a G for real
Like my Father
My universe I create it
I ain't doing it just for me
The whole team gotta say
We made it
Ain't no stopping
Till we the greatest
Not when it still ain't our time
Not when there's lives that need changin.
And all it takes is a rhyme
Huh
Put everything on the line
And I'm hoping
I make it out alive
Been living for mines
They stomachs hungry
Still hustlin' for dimes
Still after all this money
My witty wings
Still need to fly
I won't stop runnin
Till I'm as big as Nicki Minaj
Ke thuka mollo
I'm buzzin
Hope you feeling the charge
Did it with no kicks




I tell you it's nothing
Word to Solange
