Freeze
A.J. Downing & the Buick6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I said I would roll with you
Put my lifestyle on hold for you
All them sweet things that I told you
This conversation is overdue
Freeze!

Getting too wild to respect the vow
I just ain't ready to settle down
My name too big in the ghetto now
Freeze!

Feels like I'm ready when I'm holding you
But it's so many honey's what I'm supposed to do?
Keep sending them apology notes to you?
Freeze!

All I need is for you to freeze
This is hard on me
I don't wanna leave
But in the mean time take back the keys and
Freeze!

Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
I know girl it's a lot to ask!
Tell me what other choice I have
When you love someone reach back
Just freeze!
Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
Girl I hope you understand
Promise I'll be back for you
When I become a better man

Why I gotta do this?
I ain't sure
Why I gotta wild out?
Iono
I know how it feels
I been hurt before
I know you disappointed you expected more
Freeze!

I'm loosing a good one and that's fo'sho
I be tryina fight but it calls me yo
Please don't change the locks on tha door
Freeze!

Quit cryin' 'cause it ain't yo fault
Blame it on the streets of New York
Young L gotta walk this walk girl
Freeze!

I know it's rough but I need your support
You said it all last time that we fought
So don't talk baby hold that thought and
Freeze!

Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
I know girl it's a lot to ask!
Tell me what other choice I have
When you love someone reach back
Just freeze!
Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
Girl I hope you understand
Promise I'll be back for you
When I become a better man

What would you think if I told you that I
Knew that I was breaking your heart
Want to explain but where should I start?
What would you think if I told you that I
Wake up every morning with a different girl
Cause I don't wanna settle down before I see the world!
What would you think if I told you that I
Know exactly what you need indeed
Hate to follow but I'm scared to lead
Too scared love will get the best of me
I know deep down by the zest of me
Hopefully some day I can give you that ring
But until then just do this one thing
Freeze!

Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
I know girl it's a lot to ask!
Tell me what other choice I have
When you love someone reach back
Just freeze!
Don't change
Don't go
Don't leave
Just freeze!
Girl I hope you understand
Promise I'll be back for you
When I become a better man
Freeze!

I mean listen, I like you
It's not like I forgot about you
Know what I'm sayin'
I just gotta get this out of my system
Knowhadimean?
If I could just freeze you
Iono if I'm ready for a relationship,
You know what I'm sayin'
I mean, I know we gonna be together one day
Matter of fact I promise you




But for right now I just need you to
Freeze!
