Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I be like you straight
And then they be like well how I'm doing
And I say I'm straight but you know I be lying
If I really could tell people what it's like you feel me”
It's like a
House with no heat or
Bed with no sheets no
Rice no beans its
Gina no Steve like
Gab with no 3 or
NY no dreams and
Boston no rings
Feels like a
Smile with no teeth
I feel pain with no ease
When I dance there's no beat
I'm a Dog with no leash I
Pray there's no peace no
Sound when I speak
I been fighting my sleep
Just tryna find the reason
It feel like something missing uh no
No no no no
It feel like something missing
No no
No no no no (No no no no)
And I'll be in your dreams when you sleeping
Toss the key to secrets that I'm keeping
It was only 'pose to be a season
I'm challenging the flag
Say what's the reason
And I swear
That I'll never find nobody else
That do me like you do
I'm just a call away you need me
Forever in my heart
It ain't no leaving
“Yeah because it's like sometimes I can feel it you know and sometimes I can't
And then like you feel me like I go in my pocket or something and it's like, it's like”
It's like
A whip with no key and a
King with no Queen and a
Veen with no Tiana
Boot cut jeans and a
Family things and a
Late night schemes and a
Midnight fiend and a
Help me please can I
Plant my seeds while I
Chase my dreams can I
Fill your needs be
All you see
I'm a heart with no beat and uh...
Sand with no beach and my
Arms still open when I sleep
Cause I feel like something missing
Oh no
No no no no
It feel like something missing
No no
No no no no (No no no no)
And I'll be in your dreams when you sleeping
Toss the key to secrets that I'm keeping
It was only 'pose to be a season
I'm challenging the flag
Say what's the reason
And I swear
That I'll never find nobody else
That do me like you do
I'm just a call away you need me
Forever in my heart
It ain't no leaving
I'll be in your dreams when you sleeping
Toss the key to secrets that I'm keeping
It was only 'pose to be a season
I'm challenging the flag
Say what's the reason
And I swear
That I'll never find nobody else
That do me like you do
I'm just a call away you need me
Forever in my heart
It ain't no leaving
