Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell me how to feel
This shit is getting real
Baby tell me what the deal
I could eat you like a meal baby
Overtime, clocking in and put in work baby
Over mine, I'll put you on a shirt aye
Don't tell me how to feel
This shit is getting real
Baby tell me what the deal
I could eat you like a meal baby
Overtime, clocking in and put in work baby (Ye)
Over mine, I'll put you on a shirt aye (Yeee)
Over time, you haven't left my mind baby
Open your eyes and put the past behind baby
Girl you're all mine
You see that I'm trying
I hit yo phone, but you not replying
Last time was the last time
You better hold yo tears back
Know I ain't coming back right
Save the talks and advice
Thinking I went overboard
With comas from the last night
Baby took my soul, now I'm gone in my past life
(My past life, my past life)
(Ight)
Baby took my soul, now I'm gone in my past life
Shawty was a bad vibe
Don't tell me how to feel
This shit is getting real
Baby tell me what the deal
I could eat you like a meal baby
Overtime, clocking in and put in work baby
Over mine, I'll put you on a shirt aye
Don't tell me how to feel
This shit is getting real
Baby tell me what the deal
I could eat you like a meal baby




Overtime, clocking in and put in work baby
Over mine, I'll put you on a shirt aye
