Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I still love you
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away

One call and i'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home
I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone

And if you saw me gone
Would you sing my songs tonight
And i don't wanna fight
You just wanna
Make it right
I'm sipping on
Dirty sprite
I pour it up
Know I ain't enough

I finna fuck you in my bed
Shawty give me head
I got lots of stacks
I just run it back
Baby why you mad?
I just wanna know
Where you at
I've got lots of drugs
I'm so sad

So sad
So sad
You're mad
You're mad
And she bad
She bad
I still wanna fuck her
When she knows im sad

I swear I still love you
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away

One call and I'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home
I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone?

Will I be okay?
She don't care anyway
I be on them drugs
I don't care what you gon say
I'll be scared to call you up
And I know she still miss me
Yeah, I keep on falling off
And you cannot be with me

Baby wanna stay
And i'll run away
And i'll keep you safe

I swear I still love you
When I was hurt
You say you gon' hold me
But shit never worked
I just wanna fuck
And I know you wanna stay
I've got all these drugs
And they make it go away

One call and I'll get you home
On the road
I'm not coming home




I want you all for my own
Would you cry if you saw me gone?

They are so consumed by their emotions and drug use that they cannot maintain a stable relationship.
